Good braking practices• Check to be sure the parking brake
is not engaged and that the park-
ing brake indicator light is out
before driving away.
• Driving through water may get the
brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the vehicle is washed. Wet
brakes can be dangerous! Your car
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 car 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 call an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.CAUTION
The Emergency Stop Signal
(ESS) system will not work if the
hazard warning flasher is
already on.WARNING
• Whenever leaving vehicle or
parking, always set the park-
ing brake and fully engage the
vehicle's transmission into
the P (Park) position. Vehicles
not fully engaged in park with
the parking brake set are at
risk for moving inadvertently
and injuring yourself or oth-
ers.
• All vehicles should always
have the parking brake fully
engaged when parking to
avoid inadvertent movement
of the vehicle which can injure
occupants or pedestrians.

✽ 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.

repeatedly, the height may not
temporarily be adjusted for the
compressor overheats. This is to
prevent damage to related parts.

CAUTION
If the ECS malfunction message
illuminates when there is no air
in the suspension, the vehicle
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.

not in use, to avoid inadver-
tently setting a speed.
• Use the cruise control system
only when traveling on open
highways in good weather.

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 system.
