You will find many safety precautions and
recommendations throughout this sec-
tion, and throughout this manual. The
safety precautions in this section are
among the most important.
Always Wear Your Seat Belt
A seat belt is your best protection in all
types of accidents. Air bags are designed
to supplement seat belts, not replace
them. So even though your vehicle is
equipped with air bags, ALWAYS make
sure you and your passengers wear your
seat belts, and wear them properly.
Restrain All Children
All children under age 13 should ride in
your vehicle properly restrained in a rear
seat, not the front seat. Infants and small
children should be restrained in an
appropriate child restraint. Larger chil-
dren should use a booster seat with the
lap/shoulder belt until they can use the
seat belt properly without a booster seat.
Air Bag Hazards
While air bags can save lives, they can
also cause serious or fatal injuries to
occupants who sit too close to them, or
who are not properly restrained.
Infants, young children, and shorter
adults are at the greatest risk of being
injured by an inflating air bag. Follow all
instructions and warnings in this manual.
Driver Distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious and
potentially deadly danger, especially for
inexperienced drivers. Safety should be
the first concern when behind the wheel
and drivers need to be aware of the wide
array of potential distractions, such as
drowsiness, reaching for objects, eating,
personal grooming, other passengers,
and using cellular phones.
Drivers can become distracted when
they take their eyes and attention off the
road or their hands off the wheel to focus
on activities other than driving. To reduce
your risk of distraction or getting into an
accident:
• ALWAYS set up your mobile devices
(i.e., MP3 players, phones, navigation
units, etc.) when your vehicle is parked
or safely stopped.
ONLY use your mobile device when allowed by laws and when conditions
permit safe use. NEVER text or email while driving.
Most states have laws prohibiting driv-
ers from texting. Some states and
cities also prohibit drivers from using
handheld phones.
NEVER let the use of a mobile device distract you from driving. You have a
responsibility to your passengers and
others on the road to always drive
safely, with your hands on the wheel as
well as your eyes and attention on the
road.Control Your Speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in
crash injuries and deaths. Generally, the
higher the speed, the greater the risk, but
serious injuries can also occur at lower
speeds. Never drive faster than is safe for
current conditions, regardless of the
maximum speed posted.
Keep Your Vehicle in Safe
Condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechanical
failure can be extremely hazardous. To
reduce the possibility of such problems,
check your tire pressures and condition
frequently, and perform all regularly
scheduled maintenance.

Driving your vehicle
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.
