Driving your vehicle
✽ NOTICE
• When you drive over 70km/h, you
may not select the HIGH mode.
• Do not operate ECS when the air
filter of the compressor in the
lower part of the vehicle sinks
under the water.
In draft of water into the compres-
sor may happen, and ECS may not
operate normally.
ECS (electronic controlled
suspension) malfunction
warning message
If ECS malfunction warning message
comes on while driving, ECS is not
working properly.
We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
✽ NOTICE
• Make sure there are no objects
under the vehicle before changing
the vehicle height.
• A click sound may be heard while
operating ECS, but these condi-
tions are normal and indicate that
ECS is functioning properly.
• Depending on the outside temper-
ature the vehicle height may be
different.
• When the vehicle is parked with
one side of the vehicle lifted or
vehicle speed is suddenly acceler-
ated/decelerated or the steering
wheel is suddenly turned, the
height may not temporarily be
adjusted. This is to protect the sys-
tem.
• When one side of the vehicle was
lifted with a jack, the height may
not temporarily be adjusted. The
ECS will operate normally when
the engine is turned on again or
when the vehicle is accelerated.
• When the vehicle is not driven for
a long period of time, vehicle
height may get low. The ECS will
operate normally when the engine
is turned on.

prevent damage to related parts.

CAUTION
If the ECS malfunction message
illuminates when there is no air

height will be very low, so do
not drive to protect the vehicle
from the projections on the sur-
face of the ground. We recom-
mend that the system be
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. You should tow
the vehicle as the picture.

The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed without pressing the
accelerator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 40 km/h (25
mph) and below approximately 180
km/h (113 mph).
✽NOTICE
During normal cruise control opera-
tion, when the SET switch is activat-
ed or reactivated after applying the
brakes, the cruise control will ener-
gize after approximately 3 seconds.
This delay is normal.
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

• If the cruise control is left on,
(CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster illuminat-
ed) the cruise control can be
activated unintentionally.
Keep the cruise control sys-
tem off (CRUISE indicator
light OFF) when the cruise
control is not in use, to avoid
inadvertently setting 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 vehicle 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 sys-
tem.

CAUTION
• Do not install accessories
around the sensor and do not
replace the bumper by your-
self. It may interfere with the
sensor performance.
• Always keep the sensor and
