ABS is an electronic braking system
that helps prevent a braking skid.
ABS allows the driver to steer and
brake at the same time.Using ABS
To obtain the maximum benefit from
your ABS in an emergency situation,
do not attempt to modulate your
brake pressure and do not try to
pump your brakes. Depress your
brake pedal as hard as possible.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear sounds from
the brakes, or feel a corresponding
sensation in the brake pedal. This is
normal and it means your ABS is
active. ABS does not reduce the time or dis-
tance it takes to stop the vehicle.
Always maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle in front of you.
ABS will not prevent a skid that results from sudden changes in
direction, such as trying to take a
corner too fast or making a sudden
lane change. Always drive at a safe
speed for the road and weather con-
ditions.ABS cannot prevent a loss of stabili-
ty. Always steer moderately when
braking hard. Severe or sharp steer-
ing wheel movement can still cause
your vehicle to veer into oncoming
traffic or off the road.
On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock brake sys-
tem may result in a longer stopping
distance than for vehicles equipped
with a conventional brake system.
The ABS warning light ( ) will stay
on for several seconds after the igni-
tion switch is in the ON position.
During that time, the ABS will gothrough self-diagnosis and the light
will go off if everything is normal. If
the light stays on, you may have a
problem with your ABS. Contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible

Active ECO system
Active ECO operation
Active ECO helps improve fuel effi-
ciency by controlling the engine and
transaxle. Fuel-efficiency is deter-
mined by the driver's driving habits
and road conditions.
When the Active ECO button is
pressed the ECO indicator (green)
will illuminate to show that the
Active ECO is operating. When the Active ECO is activated,
it does not turn off even though the
engine is restarted again. To turn
off the system, press the active
ECO button again.
If Active ECO is turned off, it will return to normal mode.
When Active ECO is activated :
Engine sound may change.
Vehicle speed may slightly be reduced.
Air conditioner performance may be affected.
✽✽ NOTICE
Active ECO is designed on the
assumption of light to mild throttle
driving style to control engine and
transaxle in order to optimize fuel
economy. A person with an aggres-
sive throttle driving style may find
the engine performance in Active
ECO on mode to be unsatisfactory,
and thus may not realize any fuel
economy gain. In such an aggressive
driver style case, it would be better
to keep Active ECO off for best fuel
economy. For best results, it is rec-
ommended to compare the perform-
ance of both modes to determine
which is more effective for your
driving style.

Limitation of Active ECO opera-tion
If the following conditions occur while
Active ECO is operating, the effec-
tiveness of the Active ECO may be
limited even though the indicator isstill on.
When coolant temperature is low:
The system will be limited until
engine temperature becomes nor-mal.
When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill becauseengine torque is required.
When using sports mode: The system will be limited accord-ing to shift request.
Rear view camera (if equipped) The Rear View Camera will activate
when the engine is running and the
shift lever is in the R (Reverse) posi-tion.
Whenever the vehicle ignition is
cycled off and on, the rear view cam-
era will turn on when the shift lever is
put into R (Reverse). ■ Type A
The rear view camera can be turned
off by pressing the ON/OFF button
when the rear view camera is acti-
vated. Press the ON/OFF button
once more to turn on the rear view
camera when the engine is running
and the shift lever is in R (Reverse).

Maintenance
Vehicle Maximum Load on theTire
Load on an individual tire due to curb
and accessory weight plus maximum
occupant and cargo weight.
Vehicle Normal Load on the Tire
Load on an individual tire that is
determined by distributing to each
axle its share of the curb weight,
accessory weight, and normal occu-
pant weight and dividing by 2.
Vehicle Placard
A label permanently attached to a
vehicle showing the original equip-
ment tire size and recommended
inflation pressure.
All season tires
HYUNDAI specifies all season tires
on some models to provide good
performance for use all year round,
including snowy and icy road condi-
tions. All season tires are identified
by ALL SEASON and/or M+S (Mud
and Snow) on the tire sidewall. Snow
tires have better snow traction than
all season tires and may be more
appropriate in some areas.
Summer tires
HYUNDAI specifies summer tires on
some models to provide superior
performance on dry roads. Summer
tire performance is substantially
reduced in snow and ice. Summer
tires do not have the tire traction rat-
ing M+S (Mud and Snow) on the tire
side wall. If you plan to operate your
vehicle in snowy or icy conditions,
HYUNDAI recommends the use of
snow tires or all season tires on all
four wheels.
Snow tires
If you equip your car with snow tires,
they should be the same size and
have the same load capacity as the
original tires. Snow tires should be
installed on all four wheels; other-
wise, poor handling may result. Snow
tires should carry 4 psi (28 kPa)more air pressure than the pressure
recommended for the standard tires
on the tire label on the driver's side of
the center pillar, or up to the maxi-
mum pressure shown on the tire
sidewall, whichever is less. Do not
drive faster than 75 mph (120 km/h)
when your vehicle is equipped with
snow tires.
