Good braking practices Wet brakes can be dangerous! The
brakes may get wet if the vehicle is
driven through standing water or if it
is washed. Your vehicle will not stop
as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet
brakes may cause the vehicle 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
vehicle 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 we recommend that you
call an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
for assistance.
DO NOT drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. Even light, but
constant pedal pressure can result in
the brakes overheating, brake wear,
and possibly even brake failure.
If a tire goes flat while you are driv-
ing, apply the brakes gently and
keep the vehicle 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 location.
Keep your foot fir mly on the brake
pedal when the vehicle is stopped to
prevent the vehicle from rolling for-
ward.
Whenever leaving the vehicle or
parking, always come to a com-
plete stop and continue to
depress the brake pedal. Move
the shift lever into the P (Park)
position, then apply the parking
brake, and place the Engine
Start/Stop button in the OFF
position.
Vehicles with the parking brake
not fully engaged are at risk for
moving inadvertently and caus-
ing injury to yourself or others.

Cruise Control operation
1. CRUISE indicator
2. SET indicator
The Cruise Control system allows
you to drive at speeds above 40
km/h (25 mph) without depressing
the accelerator pedal.
During cruise-speed driving of a
manual transaxle vehicle, do not
shift into neutral without depress-
ing the clutch pedal, since the
engine will be overrevved. If this
happens, depress the clutch pedal
or release the cruise control ON-
OFF switch.
NOTICE
CRUISE CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
Take the following precautions:
•If the Cruise Control is left on,
(CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster is illumi-
nated) 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 sys-
tem only when traveling on
open highways in good
weather.
(Continued)

•Do not use the Cruise Control
when it may not be safe to
keep the vehicle at a constant

Driving your vehicle
As the Blind Spot Detection
(BSD) system is a supplemental
device for your safe driving, it
may be dangerous to rely on
only the BSD information of the
head up display image when
changing the lane. Always pay
attention to drive safely.
WARNING
The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) uses a radar sensor to alert
the driver.
It senses the rear side territory of the
vehicle and provides an indication to
the driver if it detects an object
approaching from these areas.
(1) BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
The warning range depends on
your vehicle speed. However, if
your vehicle is much faster than
the other vehicle, the system will
not warn you.
(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist)
If the system detects a vehicle
approaching you at high speed,
the system will warn you.
(3) RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
If the sensor detects an
approaching vehicle from the left
and right side as your vehicle
moves rearward, the system will
warn you.

•The Blind Spot Detection
System (BSD) is a supplemen-
tal system to assist you. Do
not solely rely on the system
and always pay attention and
drive safely.
•The Blind Spot Detection
System (BSD) is not a substi-
tute for proper and safe driv-
ing. Always drive safely and
use caution when changing
lanes or backing the vehicle
up. The Blind Spot Detection
System (BSD) may not detect
every object alongside the
vehicle.

•The system may not work prop-
erly if the bumper has been
replaced or if repair work has
been done near the sensor.
•The detection area differs
according to the roads width. If
the road is narrow the system
may detect other vehicles in the
next lane. In addition, if the road
is very wide the system may not
detect other vehicles.
•The system may turn off due to
strong electromagnetic waves.
NOTICE
•The warning light on the out-
side rearview mirror will illu-
minate whenever a vehicle is
detected at the rear side by
the system.

(BSD) and Rear Cross Traffic
Alert (RCTA). Do not solely
rely on the system but check
your surrounding before
changing lanes or backing the
