NOTICE
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the engine
may not run as smoothly and the ABS
warning light may turn on at the same
time. This happens because of the low
battery voltage. It does not mean your
ABS is malfunctioning.
• Do not pump your brakes!
• Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.

Electronic stability control (ESC)
The Electronic Stability control (ESC)
system is designed to stabilize the vehicle
during cornering maneuvers. ESC checks
where you are steering and where the
vehicle is actually going. ESC applies the
brakes at individual wheels and
intervenes in the engine management
system to stabilize the vehicle.
OBH058015N
WARNING
Never drive too fast for the road
conditions or too quickly when cor-
nering. Electronic stability control
(ESC) will not prevent accidents.
Excessive speed in turns, abrupt
maneuvers and hydroplaning on
wet surfaces can still result in seri-
ous accidents. Only a safe and
attentive driver can prevent acci-
dents by avoiding maneuvers that
cause the vehicle to lose traction.
Even with ESC installed, always fol-
low all the normal precautions for
driving - including driving at safe
speeds for the conditions.
CAUTION
When you drive on a road having
poor traction, such as an icy road,and operate your brakes continu-ously, the ABS will be active con-tinuously and the ABS warning light may illuminate. Pull your carover to a safe place and stop theengine.
Restart the engine. If the ABS warning light is off, then yourABS system is normal.Otherwise, you may have a prob-lem with the ABS. Contact anauthorized HYUNDAI dealer assoon as possible.

turned off (ESC OFF light illuminat-
ed).
• Turning the ESC off does not affect ABS or brake system operation.
CAUTION
Driving with varying tire or wheel
sizes may cause the ESC system tomalfunction. When replacing tires,make sure they are the same size asyour original tires.
Never operate the vehicle with dif-ferent diameter tires installed at the same time.
WARNING
The Electronic Stability Control sys-
tem is only a driving aid; use pre-
cautions for safe driving by slowing
down on curved, snowy, or icy
roads. Drive slowly and don’t
attempt to accelerate whenever the
ESC indicator light is blinking, or
when the road surface is slippery.
WARNING

Good braking practices
After parking the vehicle, check to be
sure the parking brake is not engaged
and that the parking brake indicator
light is out before driving away.
Driving through water may get the brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the car is washed. Wet brakes
can be dangerous! Your car will not
stop as quickly if the brakes are wet.
Wet brakes may cause the car to pull
to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns to
normal, taking care to keep the car
under control at all times. If the braking
action does not return to normal, stop
as soon as it is safe to do so and call
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.
Do not coast down hills with the car out of gear. This is extremely hazardous.
Keep the car in gear at all times, use
the brakes to slow down, then shift to a
lower gear so that engine braking will
help you maintain a safe speed. Do not "ride" the brake pedal. Resting
your foot on the brake pedal while driv-
ing can be dangerous because it can
result in the brakes overheating and
losing their effectiveness. It also
increases the wear of the brake com-
ponents.
If a tire goes flat while you are driving, apply the brakes gently and keep the
car pointed straight ahead while you
slow down. When you are moving
slowly enough for it to be safe to do so,
pull off the road and stop in a safe
place.
If your car is equipped with an auto- matic transmission, do not let your car
creep forward. To avoid creeping for-
ward, keep your foot firmly on the
brake pedal when the car is stopped.
WARNING
Whenever leaving vehicle orparking, always set the parking
brake as far as possible and fully
engage the vehicle's transmis-
sion into the park position.
Vehicles not fully engaged in park
with the parking brake set are at
risk for moving inadvertently and
injuring yourself or others.
All vehicles should always have the parking brake fully engaged
when parking to avoid inadver-
tent movement of the car which
can injure occupants or pedestri-
ans.

➀CRUISE indicator
➁SET indicator
E090000ABH-EU
The cruise control system allows you to
program the vehicle to maintain a con-
stant speed without pressing the acceler-
ator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• During normal cruise control opera-
tion, when the SET switch is activated
or reactivated after applying the
brakes, the cruise control will ener-
gize after approximately 3 seconds.
This delay is normal.
• To activate cruise control, depress the brake pedal at least once after turning
the ignition switch to the ON position
or starting the engine. This is to check
if the brake switch which is important
part to cancel cruise control is in nor-
mal condition.
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
If the cruise control is left on,
(CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster illuminated)
the cruise control can be activat-
ed unintentionally. Keep the
cruise control system off
(CRUISE indicator light OFF)
when the cruise control is not in
use, to avoid inadvertently set-
ting a speed.
Use the cruise control system only when traveling on open
highways in good weather.
Do not use the cruise control when it may not be safe to keep
the car at a constant speed, for
instance, driving in heavy or
varying traffic, or on slippery
(rainy, icy or snow-covered) or
winding roads or over 6% up-hill
or down-hill roads.
Pay particular attention to the driving conditions whenever
using the cruise control system.
Be careful when driving downhill using the cruise control system,
which may increase the vehicle
speed.

The smart cruise control system allows
you to program the vehicle to maintain a
set speed so long as it is not limited by
traffic. When traffic is encountered the
vehicle will be slowed to maintain a set
distance behind traffic without depress-
ing the accelerator or brake pedal.
✽ ✽

WARNING
If the smart cruise control is left
on, (CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster illuminated)
the smart cruise control can be
activated unintentionally. Keep
the smart cruise control system
off (CRUISE indicator light OFF)
when the smart cruise control is
not in use, to avoid inadvertently
setting a speed.
Use the smart cruise control sys- tem only when traveling on open
highways in good weather.
Do not use the smart cruise con- trol when it may not be safe to
keep the car at a constant speed,
for instance, driving in heavy or
varying traffic, or on slippery
(rainy, icy or snow-covered) or
winding roads or over 6% up-hill
or down-hill roads.

Be careful when driving downhill using the smart cruise control
system, which may increase the
vehicle speed.
The smart cruise control system is not a substitute for safe driving
practices but a convenience
function only. It is the responsi-
bility of the driver to always
check the speed and distance to
the vehicle ahead.

Limitations of the system
The smart cruise control system may
have limits to its ability to detect distance
to the vehicle ahead due to road and traf-
fic conditions.
On curves
On curves, the smart cruise control system may not detect a moving vehi-
cle in your lane, and then your vehicle
could accelerate to the set speed. Also,
the vehicle speed will slow down when
the vehicle ahead is recognized sud-
denly.
Select the appropriate set speed on curves and apply the brakes or accel-
erator pedal if necessary.

vehicle change lanes. It is the dri-
ver's responsibility to always
check the road conditions.
Do not turn the steering wheel suddenly, when the LDWS warns
you that your vehicle is leaving
the lane.
If the sensor cannot detect the lane or if the vehicle speed does
not exceed 43 mph (70 km/h), the
LDWS won't warn you even though
the vehicle leaves the lane.
If your vehicle has window tint or other types of coating on the
front windshield, the LDWS may
not work properly.
Do not let water or any kind of liq- uid come in contact with the
LDWS sensor.
Do not remove LDWS parts and do not damage the sensor by a
strong impact.
Do not put objects that reflect light on the dash board.
Always check the road conditions because you may not hear the
LDWS warning chime due to
audio volume or external noise.
