Good Driving Practices
Never move the shift lever from P(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other posi-
tion with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
Never move the shift lever into P (Park) when the vehicle is in motion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift into
R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
Do not move the shift lever to N (Neutral) when driving. Doing so may
result in an accident because of a loss
of engine braking and the transmission
could be damaged.
Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. Even light, but consis-
tent pedal pressure can result in the
brakes overheating, brake wear and
possibly even brake failure.
Depressing both accelerator and brake pedals at the same time can trigger
logic for engine power reduction to
assure vehicle deceleration. Vehicle
acceleration will resume after the
brake pedal is released.
Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle. Do not depend on
placing the transmission 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 accelera-
tor. To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
ALWAYS wear your seatbelt. In a
collision, an unbelted occupant 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.
In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the travel lanes.
HYUNDAI recommends you fol-
low all posted speed limits.

Power Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through normal
usage.
If the engine is not running or is turned
off while driving, the power assist for the
brakes will not work. You can still stop
your vehicle by applying greater force to
the brake pedal than typical. The stop-
ping distance, however, will be longer
than with power brakes.
When the engine is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially depleted
each time the brake pedal is applied. Do
not pump the brake pedal when the
power assist has been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when neces-
sary to maintain steering control on slip-
pery surfaces.

Take the following precautions:
Do not drive with your foot rest-
ing on the brake pedal. This will
create abnormal high brake tem-
peratures, excessive brake lining
and pad wear, and increased
stopping distances.
When descending down a long or
steep hill, move the gear shift
lever to Manual Shift Mode and
manually downshift to a lower
gear in order to control your
speed without using the brake
pedal excessively. Applying the
brakes continuously will cause
the brakes to overheat and could
result in a temporary loss of brak-
ing performance.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Wet brakes may impair the vehi-
cle's ability to safely slow down;
the vehicle may also pull to one
side when the brakes are applied.
Applying the brakes lightly will
indicate whether they have been
affected in this way. Always test
your brakes in this fashion after
driving through deep water. To
dry the brakes, lightly tap the
brake pedal to heat up the brakes
while maintaining a safe forward
speed until brake performance
returns to normal. Avoid driving
at high speeds until the brakes
function correctly.WARNING

To release:
Firmly depress the brake pedal.
While pressing the release button (1),
slightly pull up on the parking brake lever
then lower the parking brake lever (2).
If the parking brake does not release or
does not release all the way, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Do not apply the accelerator pedal
while the parking brake is engaged.
If you depress the accelerator pedal
with the parking brake engaged,
warning will sound. Damage to the
parking brake may occur.
Driving with the parking brake on can overheat the braking system
and cause premature wear or dam-
age to brake parts. Make sure the
parking brake is released and the
Brake Warning Light is off before
driving.
NOTICE
OAD055009
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 P (Park) posi-
tion, then apply the parking
brake, and place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF position.
Vehicles with the parking brake
not fully engaged are at risk for
moving inadvertently and caus-
ing injury to yourself or others.
NEVER allow anyone who is unfa-
miliar with the vehicle to touch
the parking brake. If the parking
brake is released unintentionally,
serious injury may occur.
Only release the parking brake
when you are seated inside the
vehicle with your foot firmly on
the brake pedal.

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 con-
ditions 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 mak-
ing a sudden lane change. Always drive
at a safe speed for the road and weather
conditions.
ABS cannot prevent a loss of stability.
Always steer moderately when braking
hard. Severe or sharp steering wheel
movement can still cause your vehicle to
veer into oncoming traffic or off the road.On loose or uneven road surfaces, oper-
ation of the anti-lock brake system 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 ignition
switch is in the ON position. During that
time, the ABS will go through self-diag-
nosis 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
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 mal-
functioning. Have the battery recharged
before driving the vehicle.
i
If the ABS warning light ( ) is on
and stays on, you may have a prob-
lem with the ABS. Your power
brakes will work normally. To
reduce the risk of serious injury or
death, contact your HYUNDAI deal-
er as soon as possible.
WARNING
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 warn-
ing light is off, then your ABS sys-
tem is normal.
Otherwise, you may have a problem
with your ABS system.
Contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.
CAUTION

5-40
Driving your vehicle
Driving with wheels and tires with dif-
ferent sizes may cause the ESC sys-
tem to malfunction. Before replacing
tires, make sure all four tires and
wheels are the same size. Never drive
the vehicle with different sized wheels
and tires installed.
ESC OFF usage
When Driving
The ESC OFF mode should only be used
briefly to help free the vehicle if stuck in
snow or mud by temporarily stopping
operation of the ESC to maintain wheel
torque.
To turn ESC off while driving, press the
ESC OFF button while driving on a flat
road surface. To prevent damage to the transmis-
sion:
Do not allow wheel(s) of one axle to
spin excessively while the ESC,
ABS, and parking brake warning
lights are displayed. The repairs
would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Reduce engine power and
do not spin the wheel(s) excessive-
ly while these lights are displayed.
When operating the vehicle on a dynamometer, make sure the ESC is
turned off (ESC OFF light illuminat-
ed).
Information
Turning the ESC off does not affect ABS
or standard brake system operation.

NOTICE
NOTICE
When the ESC is blinking, this indi-
cates the ESC is active:
Drive slowly and NEVER attempt to
accelerate. NEVER turn the ESC off
while the ESC indicator light is
blinking or you may lose control of
the vehicle resulting in an accident.

Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
The Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC) helps
prevent the vehicle from rolling back-
wards when starting a vehicle from a
stop on a hill. The system operates the
brakes automatically for approximately 2
seconds and releases the brake after 2
seconds or when the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
The HAC does not operate when theshift lever is in P (Park) or N
(Neutral)
The HAC activates even though the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is
off but does not activate when the
ESC has malfunctioned.
Good Braking Practices
Wet brakes can be dangerous! The
brakes may get wet if the vehicle is driv-
en 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 light-
ly until the braking action returns to nor-
mal, 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 call an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for assis-
tance.
DO NOT drive with your foot resting on
the brake pedal. Even light, but constant
pedal pressure can result in the brakes
overheating, brake wear, and possibly
even brake failure.
If a tire goes flat while you are driving,
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 forward.
NOTICE
Always be ready to depress the
accelerator pedal when starting off
on a incline. The HAC activates only
for approximately 2 seconds.
WARNING
Whenever leaving the vehicle or
parking, always come to a complete
stop and continue to depress the
brake pedal. Move the shift lever
into the 1
stgear (for manual trans-
mission vehicle) or P (Park, for
automatic transmission vehicle)
position, then apply the parking
brake, and place the ignition switch
in the LOCK/OFF position.
Vehicles parked with the parking
brake not applied or not fully
engaged may roll inadvertently and
may cause injury to the driver and
others. ALWAYS apply the parking
brake before exiting the vehicle.
WARNING

5-52
Driving your vehicle
The Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) system is designed to detect and
monitor the vehicle ahead or detect a
pedestrian in the roadway through radar
signals and camera recognition to warn
the driver that a collision is imminent, and
if necessary, apply emergency braking.System Setting and Activation
System setting
The driver can activate the AEB by plac-
ing the ignition switch to the ON position
and by selecting 'User Settings', 'Driving
Assist', and 'AEB (Automatic Braking
System)'. The AEB deactivates, when the
driver deselects the system setting.The warning light illuminates
on the LCD display, when you
cancel the AEB system. The
driver can monitor the AEB
ON/OFF status on the LCD display. If the
warning light remains ON when the AEB
is activated, have the system checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. The driver can select the initial warning
activation time in the User Settings in the
LCD display. The options for the initial
Forward Collision Warning include the
following:
Early - When this condition is selected,
the initial Forward Collision
Warning is activated earlier than
normal. This setting maximizes
the amount of distance between
the vehicle ahead before the ini-
tial warning occurs.

Take the following precautions
when using the Automatic
Emergency Braking (AEB):
This system is only a supplemen-
tal system and it is not intended
to, nor does it replace the need
for extreme care and attention of
the driver. The sensing range and
objects detectable by the sensors
are limited. Pay attention to the
road conditions at all times.
NEVER drive too fast in accor-
dance with the road conditions or
while cornering.
Always drive cautiously to pre-
vent unexpected and sudden sit-
uations from occurring. AEB
does not stop the vehicle com-
pletely and is not a collision
avoidance system.
