For your safety, the intelligent accel-
erator pedal operates as follows:
The reactive force of the accelerator
pedal increases when the fuel effi-
ciency is low.
The intelligent accelerator pedal
function is available for use in vehi-
cles equipped with drive mode inte-
grated control system and ECO driv-
ing mode.
The intelligent accelerator pedal is
related with AVSM (Advanced vehi-
cle safety management) and ECO
driving.
To cancel this system, cancel all sys-
tem in User Settings Mode.
• AVSM : refer to the User Settings
Mode in chapter 4.
• ECO driving : refer to the User
Settings Mode in
chapter 4.
INTELLIGENT ACCELERATOR PEDAL (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
Do not be surprised when the
pedal occurs reactive force. It's
not a malfunction but a warning
for your safety.

575
Driving your vehicle
AVSM detects the distance from the
vehicle ahead with the sensor, to
warn you before collision and protect
you in certain hazardous situations
by using warning message, warning
sound and seat belt vibration (if
equipped).
• If the AVSM senses the object
ahead too near the vehicle and if
driver's operating of the brake
pedal or the steering wheel should
be needed, the warning light illumi-
nates.
Immediately reduce your speed.
• If the AVSM senses more danger-
ous, the warning sound also oper-
ates and the seat belt vibrates.
Immediately reduce your speed.
ADVANCED VEHICLE SAFETY MANAGEMENT (AVSM) (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
Always check the road condi-
tions to prevent danger even if
the warning light does not illu-
minate, the warning sound does
not operate or the seat belt does
not vibrate.

Brake operating
• If the AVSM senses the collision,
the brake system comes to stan-
dard mode to react promptly when
the driver operates the brake
pedal.
• If the driver releases the accelera-
tor after warning in hazardous situ-
ations, the AVSM automatically
brakes the vehicle gently.
• If the driver hits the brake to reduce
vehicle speed, the brake assistant
system operates to raise efficiency
of braking.
• If danger disappears, if the driver
depresses the accelerator or if the
driver releases the brake pedal,
the brake operating stop.
Seat belt operating
The seat belt tightens when the vehi-
cle senses a collision.
WARNING
The AVSM does not stop the
vehicle completely and does
not avoid collision. Always look
ahead cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situa-
tions from occurring.
WARNING
The AVSM operates according
to the distance from the vehicle
ahead, relative velocity and dri-
ver's operation of the brake or
accelerator pedal. Do not drive
dangerously to operate the
AVSM.
CAUTION
• When the AVSM is controlled
or turned off, make sure that
the vehicle is stopped.
• When the engine is running by
turning on, the AVSM is auto-
matically turned on. If is not
required, select the AVSM OFF
in USM.
• If the AVSM ON is selected in
USM (User Settings Mode), if
the ESC is cancelled by press-
ing the ESC OFF button, the
AVSM function is automatical-
ly cancelled. And then it is
impossible to control the
AVSM by manually.

Malfunction indicator
• The VSM OFF indicator will illumi-
nate when the engine start/stop
button is turned ON, but should go
off after approximately 3 seconds.
If the indicator does not come on,
or continuously remains on after
coming on for about 3 seconds
when you turn the engine
start/stop button to the ON posi-
tion, or if the indicator comes on
while driving, the AVSM is not
working properly. We recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• The VSM OFF indicator may illumi-
nate when the ESC indicator or
SCC indicator comes on, but it
does not indicate malfunction of
the AVSM.
WARNING
The AVSM is not a substitute for
safe driving practices but a sup-
plementary function only. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to always check the speed and
the distance to the vehicle
ahead.
WARNING
• Even if there is a malfunction
to the brake operating of the
AVSM, when you depress the
brake pedal, the brake is oper-
ating normally. But, the AVSM
brake operating does not
operate even in certain haz-
ardous situations.
• The AVSM is designed to
function above approximately
15 km/h (9.3 mph) and below
approximately 180 km/h (111.8
mph).

The BSD (Blind spot detection) sys-
tem uses a radar sensor to alert the
driver while driving.It senses the rear side territory of the
vehicle and provides information to
the driver.
➀BSD(Blind spot detection)
Warning range is dependent on your
vehicle speed. However, if your vehi-
cle speed is speedy about 10km/h
than other vehicle, the warning is not
operated.
