Daytime running light (DRL)
(if equipped)
The Daytime Running Lights (DRL)
can make it easier for others to see
the front of your vehicle during the
day, especially after dawn and before
sunset.
The DRL system will turn the dedi-
cated lamp OFF when:
1. The light switch is in the front fog
lamp or headlamp position, includ-
ing the operation that the head-
lamp is turned on automatically in
the AUTO light position.
2. The engine is turned off.
3. The hazard warning flasher is on.
4. You turn the turn signal light on.

daytime running lights will turn off
but the position light remains on.
Headlamp levelling device
(if equipped)
It automatically adjusts the headlamp
beam level according to the number
of passengers and loading weight in
the luggage area.
And it offers proper headlamp beam
under various conditions. If the driver gets out of the vehi-
cle through other doors (except
driver's door), the battery saver
function does not operate and
the headlamp delay function
does not turn off automatically.
Therefore, It causes the battery
to be discharged. In this case,
make sure to turn off the lamp
before getting out of the vehicle.
CAUTION
If it does not work properly even
though your car is inclined
backward according to passen-
ger's posture, or the headlight
beam is irradiated to the high or
low position, we recommend
that the system be inspected by
a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Do not attempt to inspect or
replace the wiring yourself.

Electronic Stability Control
(ESC)
The Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system helps to stabilise the
vehicle during cornering manoeu-
vres. 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
management 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.
ESC operation
ESC ON condition
When the Engine Start/Stop button
is in the ON position, the ESC and
the ESC OFF indicator lights illumi-
nate for approximately three seconds
and goes off, then the ESC is turned
on.
When the ESC is off whilst driving, to
turn the ESC on, select ESC ON
from the User Settings Mode (Driving
Assist) on the LCD display (For more
details, refer to "LCD Display" in
chapter 3.). If this light stays on, your
vehicle may have a malfunction with
the ESC system. We recommend
that the vehicle be checked by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer as
soon as possible. The ESC indicator
light will illuminate. Never drive too fast for the road
conditions or too quickly when
cornering. The ESC system will
not prevent accidents.
Excessive speed in turns, abrupt
manoeuvres, and hydroplaning
on wet surfaces can result in
severe accidents.
