Features of your vehicle
ESP (ESC) indicator (Electronic
Stability Program) (if equipped)
The ESP (ESC) indicator will illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned ON,
but should go off after approximately 3
seconds. When the ESP (ESC) is on, it
monitors the driving conditions. Under
normal driving conditions, the ESP
(ESC) indicator will remain off. When a
slippery or low traction condition is
encountered, the ESP (ESC) will oper-
ate, and the ESP (ESC) indicator will
blink to indicate the ESP (ESC) is oper-
ating.
But, if the ESP (ESC) system malfunc-
tions the indicator illuminates and stays
on. We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
✽NOTICE
After reconnecting or recharging a dis-
charged battery, the ESP (ESC) indica-
tor may illuminate. In this case, turn the
steering wheel half way to the left and
right while the ignition switch is in the
ON position. Then, restart the engine
after the ignition is off. If the ESP (ESC)
indicator does not turn off, we recom-
mend that the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
ESP (ESC) OFF indicator (if equipped)
The ESP (ESC) OFF indicator will illumi-
nate when the ignition switch is turned
ON, but should go off after approximate-
ly 3 seconds. To switch to ESP (ESC)
OFF mode, press the ESP (ESC) OFF
button. The ESP (ESC) OFF indicator will
illuminate indicating the ESP (ESC) is
deactivated.
CAUTION- Diesel engine
(if equipped with DPF)
When the malfunction indicator
light is blinks, it may stop blinking
after driving the vehicle at more
than 60km/h (37 mph) or at more
than second gear with 1500 ~ 2000
engine rpm for a certain time (for
about 25 minutes).
If the malfunction indicator light
continues to be blinked in spite of
the procedure, we recommend that
the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
If you continue to drive with the
malfunction indicator light blinking
for a long time, the DPF system can
be damaged and fuel consumption
can be worsen.
CAUTION - Diesel engine
If the Emission Control System
Malfunction Indicator Light blinks,
some error related to the injection
quantity adjustment occurs which
could result in loss of engine power,
combustion noise and poor emis-
sion. We recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Power brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through normal
usage.
In the event that the power-assisted
brakes lose power because of a stalled
engine or some other reason, you can
still stop your vehicle by applying greater
force to the brake pedal than you nor-
mally would. The stopping distance, how-
ever, will be longer.
When the engine is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially depleted
each time the brake pedal is applied. Do
not pump the brake pedal when the
power assist has been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when neces-
sary to maintain steering control on slip-
pery surfaces.
E070101AUN
In the event of brake failure
If service brakes fail to operate while the
vehicle is in motion, you can make an
emergency stop with the parking brake.
The stopping distance, however, will be
much greater than normal.
BRAKE SYSTEM
WARNING- Brakes
• Do not drive with your foot rest-
ing on the brake pedal. This will
create abnormal high brake tem-
peratures, excessive brake lining
and pad wear, and increased
stopping distances.
• When descending a long or steep
hill, shift to a lower gear and
avoid continuous application of
the brakes. Continuous brake
application will cause the brakes
to overheat and could result in a
temporary loss of braking per-
formance.
• Wet brakes may impair the vehi-
cle’s ability to safely slow down;
the vehicle may also pull to one
side when the brakes are applied.
Applying the brakes lightly will
indicate whether they have been
affected in this way. Always test
your brakes in this fashion after
driving through deep water. To
dry the brakes, apply them lightly
while maintaining a safe forward
speed until brake performance
returns to normal.
(Continued)
WARNING- Parking brake
Applying the parking brake while
the vehicle is moving at normal
speeds can cause a sudden loss of
control of the vehicle. If you must
use the parking brake to stop the
vehicle, use great caution in apply-
ing the brake.
(Continued)
• Always, confirm the position of
the brake and accelerator pedal
before driving. If you do not
check the position of the acceler-
ator and brake pedal before driv-
ing, you may depress the acceler-
ator instead of the brake pedal. It
may cause a serious accident.

Releasing the parking brake
To release the parking brake, first apply
the foot brake and pull up the parking
brake lever slightly. Secondly depress the
release button (1) and lower the parking
brake lever (2) while holding the button.Check the brake warning light by turning
the ignition switch ON (do not start the
engine). This light will be illuminated when
the parking brake is applied with the igni-
tion switch in the START or ON position.
Before driving, be sure the parking brake
is fully released and the brake warning
light is off.
If the brake warning light remains on after
the parking brake is released while engine
is running, there may be a malfunction in
the brake system. Immediate attention is
necessary.
If at all possible, cease driving the vehi-
cle immediately. If that is not possible,
use extreme caution while operating the
vehicle and only continue to drive the
vehicle until you can reach a safe loca-
tion or repair shop.
WARNING
• To prevent unintentional move-
ment when stopped and leaving
the vehicle, do not use the
gearshift lever in place of the
parking brake. Set the parking
brake AND make sure the
gearshift lever is securely posi-
tioned in 1st (First) gear or R
(Reverse) for manual transmis-
sion equipped vehicles and in P
(Park) for automatic transmission
equipped vehicles.
• Never allow anyone who is unfa-
miliar with the vehicle to touch
the parking brake. If the parking
brake is released unintentionally,
serious injury may occur.
• 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.

Driving your vehicle
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP)/
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system
is an electronic system designed to help
the driver maintain vehicle control under
adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for
safe driving practices. Factors including
speed, road conditions and driver steering
input can all affect whether ESP (ESC) will
be effective in preventing a loss of control.
It is still your responsibility to drive and
corner at reasonable speeds and to leave
a sufficient margin of safety.
When you apply your brakes under con-
ditions which may lock the wheels, you
may hear a “tik-tik’’ sound from the
brakes, or feel a corresponding sensation
in the brake pedal. This is normal and it
means your ESP (ESC) is active.
✽NOTICE
A click sound may be heard in the
engine compartment when the vehicle
begins to move after the engine is start-
ed. These conditions are normal and
indicate that the Electronic Stability
Program (Electronic stability control)
System is functioning properly.
ESP (ESC) operation
ESP (ESC) ON condition
• When the ignition is turned
ON, ESP (ESC) and ESP
(ESC) OFF indicator lights
illuminate for approximately 3
seconds, then ESP (ESC) is
turned on.
• Press the ESP (ESC) OFF
button for at least half a sec-
ond after turning the ignition
ON to turn ESP (ESC) off.
(ESP (ESC) OFF indicator will
illuminate). To turn the ESP
(ESC) on, press the ESP
(ESC) OFF button (ESP (ESC)
OFF indicator light will go off).
• When starting the engine,
you may hear a slight ticking
sound. This is the ESP (ESC)
performing an automatic sys-
tem self-check and does not
indicate a problem.When operating
When the ESP (ESC) is in
operation, ESP (ESC) indicator
light blinks.
• When the Electronic Stability
Program (Electronic Stability
Control) is operating properly,
you can feel a slight pulsation
in the vehicle. This is only the
effect of brake control and indi-
cates nothing unusual.
• When moving out of the mud
or slippery road, pressing the
accelerator pedal may not
cause the engine rpm (revolu-
tions per minute) to increase.
