Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) (if equipped)
The Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
system helps to stabilize the vehicle
during cornering maneuvers.
VDC checks where you are steering
and where the vehicle is actually
going. VDC 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.
VDC operation
VDC ON condition
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the VDC and the VDC OFF
indicator lights illuminate for approxi-
mately three seconds and goes off,
then the VDC is turned on.
OEU044196Never drive too fast for the road
conditions or too quickly when
cornering. The VDC system will
not prevent accidents.
Excessive speed in turns, abrupt
maneuvers, and hydroplaningon wet surfaces can result in
severe accidents.

When operating
When the VDC is in opera-
tion, the VDC indicator light
blinks:
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 VDC is
active.
engine may not respond to the
accelerator as it does under routine
conditions.
when the VDC 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)
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.
VDC OFF condition
To cancel VDC operation :

Press the VDC OFF button shortly (VDC OFF indicator light and mes-
sage illuminates). At this state, theengine control function does not
operate. In other words, the traction
control function does not operate but
only the brake control function oper-
ates.

operate any more.
If the ignition switch is placed to the
LOCK/OFF position when VDC is off,
VDC remains off. Upon restarting the
engine, the VDC will automatically
turn on again.Indicator lights
When the ignition switch is pressed
to the ON position, the VDC indicator
light illuminates, then goes off if the
VDC system is operating normally.
The VDC indicator light blinks when-
ever the VDC is operating.
If VDC indicator light stays on, your
vehicle may have a malfunction with
the VDC system. When this warning
light illuminates we recommend that
the vehicle be checked by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.The VDC OFF indicator light comes
on when the VDC is turned off with
the button.
Driving with varying tire or wheel
sizes may cause the VDC system
to malfunction. When replacing
tires, make sure they are the same
size as your original tires for this
vehicle.

VDC OFF usage
When Driving
The VDC OFF mode should only be
used briefly to help free the vehicle if
stuck in snow or mud by temporarily
stopping operation of the VDC to
maintain wheel torque.
To turn VDC off while driving, press
the VDC OFF button while driving on
a flat road surface.To prevent damage to thetransaxle:
Do not allow wheel(s) of one
axle to spin excessively while
the VDC, ABS, and brake warn-
ing lights are displayed. The
repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Reduce
engine power and do not spin
the wheel(s) excessively while
these lights are displayed.
When operating the vehicle on a dynamometer, ensure the VDC isturned off (VDC OFF light illumi-nated).
Information
Turning the VDC off does not affect
ABS or standard brake system opera-
tion.
Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC) (if equipped)
The Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
prevents the vehicle from rolling
backwards when starting a vehicle
from a stop on a hill. The system
operates the brakes automatically for
approximately 2 seconds and releas-
es the brake when the acceleratorpedal is depressed or after 2 sec-
onds.
i
NOTICE
Always be ready to depress the
accelerator pedal when starting
off on an incline. The HAC acti-
vates only for approximately 2seconds.

Information
 The HAC does not operate when the shift lever is in P (Park) or N
(Neutral)
 The HAC activates even though the VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control) is
off but does not activate when the
VDC has malfunctioned but can not
activate when the VDC has mal-
functioned. Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) (if equipped)
The Emergency Stop Signal system
alerts the driver behind by blinking
the stop light when the vehicle is
braked rapidly and severely.
The system is activated when:
The vehicle suddenly stops (vehi-cle speed is over 55km/h and the
vehicle deceleration is greater than7 m/s 2
(Van/Truck) and 5 m/s 2
(BUS))
The ABS is activating
When vehicle speed is under 40
km/h and the ABS deactivates or the
sudden stop situation is over, the
stop light will stop blinking. Instead,
the hazard warning flasher will turn
on automatically.
The hazard warning flasher will turn
off when vehicle speed is over
10km/h after the vehicle has
stopped. Also, it will turn off when the
vehicle is driven at low speed for
some time. You can turn it off manu-
ally by pushing the hazard warning
flasher switch. Information
The Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) sys-
tem will not work if the hazard warn-
ing flasher is already on.

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, butconstant 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 firmly 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 OFFposition.
Vehicles with the parking brake
not fully engaged are at risk for
moving inadvertently and caus-
ing injury to yourself or others.
