To prevent damage to the engine,
clutch and transaxle:
•When downshifting from 5th gear
to 4th gear, be careful not to inad
vertently push the shift lever side
ways engaging the 2nd gear. A
drastic downshift may cause the
engine speed to increase to the
point the tachometer will enter the
redzone.
•Do not downshift more than two
gear at a time or downshift the
gear when the engine is running at
high speed (5,000 RPM or higher).
Such a downshifting may damage
the engine, clutch and the
transaxle.
Good driving practices
• Never take the vehicle out of gearand coast down a hill. This is
extremely dangerous.
• Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause the brakes and related parts
to overheat and malfunction.
When you are driving down a long
hill, slow down and shift to a lower
gear. Engine braking will help slow
down the vehicle.
• Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. This will help avoid
overrevving the engine, which can
cause damage.
• Slow down when you encounter cross winds. This gives you much
better control of your vehicle.
• Be sure the vehicle is completely stopped before you shift into R
(Reverse) to prevent damage to
the transaxle. • Exercise extreme caution when
driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident
NOTICE
Do not use the engine brake (shift
ing from a higher gear to lower
gear) rapidly on slippery roads.
The vehicle may slip causing an
accident.
WARNING

•When driving in Sports Mode, slow
down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear
may not be engaged if the engine
rpms are outside of the allowable
range.
• Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle. Do not
depend on placing the transmis
sion in P (Park) to keep the vehicle
from moving.
• Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident
• Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the
accelerator.
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
•ALWAYS wear your seatbelt. In
a collision, an unbelted occu
pant is significantly more likely
to be seriously injured or killed
than a properly belted occupant.
•Avoid high speeds when corner
ing or turning.
•Do not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,
sharp turns.
•The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
•Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off the
roadway and the driver over
steers to reenter the roadway.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer
sharply. Instead, slow down
before pulling back into the trav
el lanes.
•HYUNDAI recommends you fol
low all posted speed limits.
WARNING

5-36
Driving your vehicle
Information
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the ABS
warning light ( ) may turn on at the
same time. This happens because of
the low battery voltage. It does not
mean your ABS is malfunctioning.
Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
(if equipped)
The Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system helps to stabilize the
vehicle during cornering maneuvers.
ESC checks where you are steering
and where the vehicle is actually
going. ESC applies braking pressure
to any one of the vehicle’s brakes
and intervenes in the engine man
agement system to assist the driver
with keeping the vehicle on the
intended path. It is not a substitute
for safe driving practices. Always
adjust your speed and driving to the
road conditions.
i
When you drive on a road having
poor traction, such as an icy road,
and apply your brakes continuous
ly, the ABS will be active continu
ously and the ABS warning light
() may illuminate. Pull your car
over to a safe place and turn the
engine off.
Restart the engine. If the ABS
warning light is off, then your ABS
system is normal. Otherwise, you
may have a problem with your
ABS system. We recommend that
you contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as pos
sible.
CAUTION
OGC054007

ESC operation
ESC ON condition
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the ESC and the ESC OFF
indicator lights illuminate for approxi
mately three seconds and goes off,
then the ESC is turned on.
When operating
When the ESC is in opera
tion, the ESC indicator light
blinks:
• When you apply yourbrakes under conditions
which may lock the
wheels, you may hear
sounds from the brakes, or
feel a corresponding sen
sation in the brake pedal.
This is normal and it
means your ESC is active.
• If the Cruise Control was in use when the ESC activates, the Cruise
Control automatically disengages.
The Cruise Control can be reen
gaged when the road conditions
allow. See “Cruise Control System”
later in this chapter. (if equipped).
• When moving out of the mud or driving on a slippery road, the
engine rpm (revolutions per minute)
may not increase even if you press
the accelerator pedal deeply. This is
to maintain the stability and traction
of the vehicle and does not indicate
a problem.

Driving your vehicle
5
Never drive too fast for the road
conditions or too quickly when cor
nering. The ESC system will not
prevent accidents.
Excessive speed in turns, abrupt
maneuvers, and hydroplaning on
wet surfaces can result in severe
accidents.
WARNING

ESC OFF condition
This vehicle has 2 kinds of
ESC off states.
If the engine stops when
ESC is off, ESC remains off.
Upon restarting the engine,
the ESC will automatically
turn on again. To cancel ESC operation :
• State 1
Press the ESC OFF button shortly
(ESC OFF indicator light and mes
sage illuminates). At this state, the
engine control function does not
operate. The traction control function
does not operate but only the brake
control function operates.
• State 2
Press the ESC OFF button for more
than 3 seconds. ESC OFF indicator
light will illuminate.
At this state, the engine control func
tion and brake control function does
not operate. The vehicle stability con
trol function does not operate any
more.
Indicator lights
When the ignition switch is pressed
to the ON position, the ESC indicator
light illuminates, then goes off if the
ESC system is operating normally.
The ESC indicator light blinks when
ever the ESC is operating.
If ESC indicator light stays on, your
vehicle may have a malfunction with
the ESC system. When this warning
light illuminates we recommend that
the vehicle be checked by an author
ized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.

Vehicle Stability Management (if
equipped)
Vehicle Stability Management (VSM)
helps ensure the vehicle stays stable
when accelerating or braking sud
denly on wet, slippery and rough
roads where traction over the four
tires can suddenly become uneven.
VSM operation
VSM ON condition
The VSM operates when:
• The Electronic Stability Control(ESC) is on.
• Vehicle speed is approximately above 15 km/h (9 mph) on curve
roads.
• Vehicle speed is approximately above 20 km/h (12 mph) when the
vehicle is braking on rough roads.
When operating
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may activate the
ESC, you may hear sounds from the
brakes, or feel a corresponding sen
sation in the brake pedal. This is nor
mal and it means your VSM is active.
Information
The VSM does not operate when:
• Driving on bank road such as gradi ent or incline
• Driving rearward.
• ESC OFF indicator light is on.
• EPS (Electronic Power Steering) warning light ( ) is on. i
5-40
Driving your vehicle
Take the following precautions
when using the Vehicle Stability
Management (VSM):
•ALWAYS check the speed and
the distance to the vehicle
ahead. The VSM is not a substi
tute for safe driving practices.
•Never drive too fast for the road
conditions. The VSM system will
not prevent accidents.
Excessive speed in bad weath
er, slippery and uneven roads
can result in severe accidents.
