Driving your vehicle
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC)
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system helps to stabilize the vehicle dur-
ing cornering maneuvers. ESC checks
where you are steering and where the
vehicle is actually going. ESC applies
braking pressure to any one of the vehi-
cle'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 ignition switch is in the ON
position, the ESC and the ESC OFF indi-
cator lights illuminate for approximately
three seconds. After both lights go off,
the ESC is enabled.
When operating
When the ESC is in operation,
the ESC indicator light blinks:
When you apply your brakes under 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 ESC is active.
When the ESC activates, the engine may not respond to the accelerator as
it does under routine conditions.
If the Cruise Control was in use when the ESC activates, the Cruise Control
automatically disengages. The Cruise
Control can be reengaged 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 acceler-
ator pedal deeply. This is to maintain
the stability and traction of the vehicle
and does not indicate a problem.
OAD055010N
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

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.

Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM)
The Vehicle Stability Management (VSM)
is a function of the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system. It helps ensure
the vehicle stays stable when accelerat-
ing or braking suddenly 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 9 mph (15 km/h) on curve roads.
Vehicle speed is approximately above 12 mph (20 km/h) when the vehicle is
braking on rough roads.
When operating
When you apply your brakes under con-
ditions which may activate the ESC, you
may hear sounds from the brakes, or feel
a corresponding sensation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and it means your
VSM is active.
The VSM does not operate when:
Driving on a banked road such asgradient or incline.
Driving rearward.
ESC OFF indicator light is on.
EPS (Electric Power Steering) warn- ing light ( ) is on or blinks.
VSM OFF condition
To cancel VSM operation, press the ESC
OFF button. ESC OFF indicator light ( )
will illuminate.
To turn on VSM, press the ESC OFF but-
ton again. The ESC OFF indicator light
will go out.
Driving with wheels and tires with differ-
ent sizes may cause the ESC system to
malfunction. Before replacing tires, make
sure all four tires and wheels are the
same size. Never drive the vehicle with
different sized tires and wheels installed.
NOTICE
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 substitute for safe
driving practices.
Never drive too fast for the road
conditions. The VSM system will
not prevent accidents. Excessive
speed in bad weather, slippery
and uneven roads can result in
severe accidents.
WARNING If ESC indicator light ( ) or EPS
warning light ( )
stays on or blinks, your vehicle may
have a malfunction with the VSM
system. When the warning light illu-
minates, have your vehicle checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
as soon as possible.

Normal - When this condition is selected,
the initial Forward Collision
Warning is activated normally.
This setting allows for a nominal
amount of distance between
the vehicle ahead before the ini-
tial warning occurs.
Late - When this condition is selected,
the initial Forward Collision
Warning is activated later than
normal. This setting reduces the
amount of distance between the
vehicle ahead before the initial
warning occurs.Prerequisite for activation
The AEB system is on and ready when
AEB is selected on the LCD display and
when the following prerequisites are sat-
isfied:
- The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) or TCS (Traction Control System) is
activated.
- Driving speed exceeds approximately 6mph (10km/h). (The AEB
is only activated within a certain speed
range.)
- The system detects a pedestrian or a vehicle in front, which may collide with
your vehicle. (The AEB may not be acti-
vated or may sound a warning alarm in
accordance with the driving situation or
vehicle condition.)
Completely stop the vehicle on a
safe location before operating the
switch on the steering wheel to
activate/deactivate the AEB sys-
tem.
The AEB automatically activates
upon placing the ignition switch
to the ON position. The driver can
deactivate the AEB by canceling
the system setting on the LCD
display.
The AEB automatically deacti-
vates upon canceling the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control) or
TCS (Traction Control System).
When the ESC is canceled, the
AEB cannot be activated on the
LCD display.

Emergency Braking(3rdwarning)
This warning message appears on the
LCD display with a warning alarm.
The AEB system limitedly controls the brakes to preemptively mitigate impact
in a collision.
- The brake control is maximized justbefore a collision.
Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the braking sys- tem enters into the ready status for
prompt reaction against the driver’s
depressing the brake pedal.
The AEB provides additional braking power for optimum braking perform-
ance, when the driver depresses the
brake pedal.
The braking control is automatically deactivated, when the driver sharply
depresses the accelerator pedal, or
when the driver abruptly operates the
steering wheel.
The AEB braking control is automati- cally canceled, when risk factors dis-
appear.
OAD055041N
■ Supervision cluster (Type B)
The driver should always use
extreme caution while operating
the vehicle, whether or not there is
a warning message or alarm from
the AEB system.
CAUTION
The AEB system logic operates
within certain parameters, such as
the distance from the vehicle or
pedestrian ahead, the speed of the
vehicle ahead, and the driver's
vehicle speed. Certain conditions
such as inclement weather and
road conditions may affect the
operation of the AEB system.
WARNING
The AEB braking control cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor
avoid all collisions. The driver
should hold the responsibility to
safely drive and control the vehicle.

Detecting pedestrians
The sensor may be limited when:
- The pedestrian is not fully detected bythe camera recognition system, for
example, if the pedestrian is leaning
over or is not fully walking upright.
- The pedestrian is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in the camera
detection area.
The pedestrian is wearing clothing that
easily blends into the background,
making it difficult to be detected by the
camera recognition system.
- The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sunlight or in sun
glare) or too dark (e.g. when driving on
a dark rural road at night).
- It is difficult to detect and distinguish the pedestrian from other objects in the
surroundings, for example, when there
is a group of pedestrians or a large
crowd.Information
In some instances, the AEB system may be
cancelled when subjected to electromag-
netic interference.
Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interfer- ence received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.

Do not use the Automatic
Emergency Braking system when
towing a vehicle. Application of
the AEB system while towing
may adversely affect the safety of
your vehicle or the towing vehi-
cle.
Use extreme caution when the
vehicle in front of you has cargo
that extends rearward from the
cab, or when the vehicle in front
of you has higher ground clear-
ance.
The AEB system is designed to
detect and monitor the vehicle
ahead or detect a pedestrian in
the roadway through radar sig-
nals and camera recognition. It is
not designed to detect bicycles,
motorcycles, or smaller wheeled
objects such as luggage bags,
shopping carts, or strollers.
Never try to test the operation of
the AEB system. Doing so may
cause severe injury or death.
WARNING

Driving your vehicle
The Lane Keeping Assist System detects
lane markers on the road, and assists the
driver's steering to help keep the vehicle
between lanes.When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the driver
with a visual and audible warning, while
applying a slight counter-steering torque,
to try to prevent the vehicle from moving
out of its lane.

The lane keeping assist system is
not a substitute for safe driving
practices, but a convenience func-
tion only. It is the responsibility of
the driver to always be aware of the
surrounding and steer the vehicle.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using the Lane Keeping
Assist System (LKAS):
The steering wheel is not contin-
uously controlled so if the vehicle
speed is at a higher speed when
leaving a lane the vehicle may not
be able to be controlled by the
system.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
Do not steer the steering wheel
suddenly when the steering
wheel is being assisted by the
system.
LKAS prevents the driver from
moving out of the lane uninten-
tionally by assisting the driver's
steering. However, the driver
should not solely rely on the sys-
tem but always pay attention on
the steering wheel to stay in the
lane.
Always check the road condition
and surroundings and be cau-
tious when the system cancels,
does not operate or malfunc-
tions.
The system detects lane lines
and controls the steering wheel
by a camera, therefore, if the lane
lines are hard to detect, the sys-
tem may not work properly.
Please refer to "Limitations of the
system".
Do not attempt to repair the LKAS
camera and do not remove any
parts.(Continued)

LKAS Operation
To activate the LKAS:
With the ignition switch in the ON posi-
tion, press the LKAS button located on
the instrument panel on the lower left
hand side of the driver. The indicator in
the cluster display will initially illuminate
white. This indicates the LKAS is in the
READY but NOT ENABLED state.
LKAS activation
The LKAS screen will appear on theSCC/LKAS screen of the LCD display
if the system is activated.
When both lane lines are detected and all the conditions to activate the LKAS
are satisfied, a green steering wheel
indicator will illuminate and the LKAS
indicator light will change from white to
green. This indicates that the LKAS
system is in the ENABLED state and
the steering wheel will be able to be
controlled.
(Continued)
Do not place objects on the dash-
board that reflects light such as
mirrors, white paper, etc. The sys-
tem may malfunction if the sun-
light is reflected.
The operation of the LKAS may
be affected by several factors
including environmental condi-
tions that affect the ability of the
camera to detect the lanes in
front of you. It is the responsibili-
ty of the driver to pay careful
attention to the roadway and to
maintain the vehicle in its intend-
ed lane at all times.
Always have your hands on the
steering wheel while the LKAS
system is activated. If you contin-
ue to drive with your hands off
the steering wheel after the
"Keep hands on steering wheel"
warning message appears, the
system will turn off automatically.
Always be cautious when using
the system.
