Disc Brakes Wear Indicator
When your brake pads are worn and new
pads are required, you will hear a high
pitched warning sound from your front or
rear brakes. You may hear this sound
come and go or it may occur whenever
you depress the brake pedal.
Note that some driving conditions or cli-
mates may cause a brake squeal when
you first apply (or lightly apply) the
brakes. This is normal and does not indi-
cate a problem with your brakes.
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not
continue to drive with worn brake
pads.
Information
Always replace brake pads as complete
front or rear axle sets.
Rear drum brakes
(if equipped)
Your rear drum brakes do not have wear
indicators. Therefore, have the rear brake
linings inspected if you hear a rear brake
rubbing noise. Also have your rear
brakes inspected each time you change
or rotate your tires and when you have
the front brakes replaced.
Parking Brake
Always set the parking brake before leav-
ing the vehicle. To apply the parking
brake:
Firmly depress the brake pedal.
Pull up the parking brake lever as far as
possible.
i
NOTICEOAD055008
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH, do not operate
the parking brake while the vehicle
is moving except in an emergency
situation. It could damage the brake
system and lead to an accident.

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.

AEB Warning Message and
System Control
The AEB produces warning messages
and warning alarms in accordance with
the collision risk levels, such as abrupt
stopping of the vehicle in front, insuffi-
cient braking distance, or pedestrian
detection. Also, it controls the brakes in
accordance with the collision risk levels.
Forward Warning (1stwarning)
This initial warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning chime.
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
EARLY, NORMAL, or LATE initial warn-
ing time.
Collision Warning (2ndwarning)
This warning message appears on theLCD display with a warning chime.
The AEB system limitedly controls the brakes to preemptively mitigate impact
in a collision.

The LKAS system will not be in the
ENABLED state and the steering
wheel will not be assisted when:
Vehicle speed is below 40 mph (60 km/h) and over 110 mph (180
km/h).
Only one lane line is detected.
The turn signal is turned on before changing a lane. If you change lanes
without the turn signal on, the steering
wheel might be controlled.
The hazard warning flasher is on.
The width of the lane is below 10 feet (3.1 m) and over 15 feet (4.5
m).
ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is activated.
The vehicle is driven on a sharp curve.
The vehicle brakes suddenly.
The vehicle makes sharp lane changes.
Information
When the system is turned on or right
after changing a lane, drive in the middle
of the lane. If not, the system will not pro-
vide steering assist function.
Limitations of the System
The LKAS may operate prematurely
even if the vehicle does not depart from
the intended lane, OR, the LKAS may not
warn you if the vehicle leaves the intend-
ed lane under the following circum-
stances:
The lanes ahead are not visible due torain, snow, water on the road, dam-
aged or stained road surface, or other
factors.
The brightness outside changes sud- denly such as when entering or exiting
a tunnel.
The brightness outside is too low such as when the headlamps are not on at
night or the vehicle is going through a
tunnel.
It is difficult to distinguish the lane marking from the road surface or the
lane marking is faded or not clearly
marked.
Driving on a steep grade, over a hill, or when driving on a curved road.
When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is reflected on a
wet road surface such as a puddle in
the road.
The windshield or the LKAS camera lens is blocked with dirt or debris. The field of view in front is obstructed
by sun glare.
The lanes are incomplete or the area is in a construction zone.
There are more than two lane lines on the road in front of you.
The lane markings are not clearly visi- ble from the road.
The lane width is too wide or too nar- row. See previous page.
The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstructed.
There are markings on the road sur- face that look like a lane line that is
inadvertently being detected by the
camera.
There is a boundary structure in the roadway such as a concrete barrier,
guardrail and reflector post that is
inadvertently being detected by the
camera.
There is not enough distance between you and the vehicle in front to be able
to detect the lane line or the vehicle
ahead is driving on the lane line.
The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while driv-
ing.

The severe weather conditions of winter
quickly wear out tires and cause other
problems. To minimize winter driving
problems, you should take the following
suggestions:
Snow or Icy Conditions
You need to keep sufficient distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front of you.
Apply the brakes gently. Speeding, rapid
acceleration, sudden brake applications,
and sharp turns are potentially very haz-
ardous practices. During deceleration,
use engine braking to the fullest extent.
Sudden brake applications on snowy or
icy roads may cause the vehicle to skid.
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may
be necessary to use snow tires or to
install tire chains on your tires.
Always carry emergency equipment.
Some of the items you may want to carry
include tire chains, tow straps or chains,
a flashlight, emergency flares, sand, a
shovel, jumper cables, a window scraper,
gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket,
etc.
Snow tires
If you mount snow tires on your vehicle,
make sure to use radial tires of the same
size and load range as the original tires.
Mount snow tires on all four wheels to
balance your vehicle’s handling in all
weather conditions. The traction provided
by snow tires on dry roads may not be as
high as your vehicle's original equipment
tires. Check with the tire dealer for maxi-
mum speed recommendations.
Information
Do not install studded tires without first
checking local, state and municipal regula-
tions for possible restrictions against their
use.
Tire chains
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are
thinner than other types of tires, they may
be damaged by mounting some types of
tire chains on them. Therefore, the use of
snow tires is recommended instead of
tire chains. Do not mount tire chains on
vehicles equipped with aluminum
wheels; if unavoidable use a wire type
chain. If tire chains must be used, use
genuine HYUNDAI parts and install the
tire chain after reviewing the instructions
provided with the tire chains. Damage to
your vehicle caused by improper tire
chain use is not covered by your vehicle
manufacturer’s warranty.
i
Snow tires should be equivalent in
size and type to the vehicle’s stan-
dard tires. Otherwise, the safety
and handling of your vehicle may
be adversely affected.

Winter Precautions
Use high quality ethylene glycolcoolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high quality
ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling
system. It is the only type of coolant that
should be used because it helps prevent
corrosion in the cooling system, lubri-
cates the water pump and prevents
freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish
your coolant in accordance with the
maintenance schedule in chapter 7.
Before winter, have your coolant tested to
assure that its freezing point is sufficient
for the temperatures anticipated during
the winter.
Change to "winter weight" oil ifnecessary
In some climates it is recommended that
a lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be
used during cold weather. See chapter 8
for recommendations. If you aren't sure
what weight oil you should use, consult
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Check battery and cables
Winter puts additional burdens on the
battery system. Visually inspect the bat-
tery and cables as described in chapter
7. The level of charge in your battery can
be checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer or a service station.
Check spark plugs and ignitionsystem
Inspect your spark plugs as described in
chapter 7 and replace them if necessary.
Also check all ignition wiring and compo-
nents to be sure they are not cracked,
worn or damaged in any way.
Use approved window washeranti-freeze in system
To keep the water in the window washer
system from freezing, add an approved
window washer anti-freeze solution in
accordance with instructions on the con-
tainer. Window washer anti-freeze is
available from an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer and most auto parts outlets. Do
not use engine coolant or other types of
anti-freeze as these may damage the
paint finish.
Do not let your parking brakefreeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged position.
This is most likely to happen when there
is an accumulation of snow or ice around
or near the rear brakes or if the brakes
are wet. If there is a risk the parking
brake may freeze, apply it only temporar-
ily while you put the gear selector lever in
P and block the rear wheels so the car
cannot roll. Then release the parking
brake.
Do not let ice and snow accu-mulate underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
can build up under the fenders and inter-
fere with the steering. When driving in
severe winter conditions where this may
happen, you should periodically check
underneath the car to be sure the move-
ment of the front wheels and the steering
components is not obstructed.
