Sit upright and closer to the steer- ing wheel than usual. Adjust the
steering wheel to a position com-
fortable for you to drive.
Driving on snow-covered or icy
roads
Start off slowly by applying theaccelerator pedal gently.
Use snow tires or tire chains.
Keep sufficient distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front
of you.
Use engine braking during deceler- ation.
Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and
sharp turns to prevent skids.
Driving in sand or mud
Maintain slow and constant speed.
Use tire chains driving in mud ifnecessary.
Keep sufficient distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front
of you.
Reduce vehicle speed and always check the road condition.
Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and
sharp turns to prevent getting
stuck.
NOTICE
When driving on normal roads,
deactivate the 4WD LOCK mode
by pushing the 4WD LOCK but-ton (4WD LOCK indicator light
goes off). Driving on normal
roads with the 4WD LOCK
mode, especially, when corner-
ing may cause mechanical
noise or vibration. The noiseand vibration will disappearwhen the 4WD LOCK mode is
deactivated. Prolong drivingwith the noise and vibration
may damage some parts of the
power train.
CAUTION
When the vehicle is stuck in
snow, sand or mud, place a non-slip material under the drive
wheels to provide traction OR
Slowly spin the wheels in for-
ward and reverse directions
which causes a rocking motion
that may free the vehicle.
However, avoid running the
engine continuously at high
rpm, doing so may damage the4WD system.

Driving up or down hills
Driving uphill - Before starting off, check if it ispossible to drive uphill.
- Drive as straight as possible.
Driving downhill - Do not change gear while drivingdownhill. Select gear before driv-
ing downhill.
- Driveas slowly using engine brak- ing while driving downhill.
- Drive straight as possible.
Driving through water
Try to avoid driving in deep stand- ing water. It may stall your engine
and clog your exhaust pipes.
If you need to drive in water, stop your vehicle, set the vehicle in
4WD LOCK mode and drive under8 km/h (5mph).
Do not change gear while driving in water.
OLMB053017 Exercise extreme caution driv-
ing up or down steep hills. The
vehicle may flip depending on
the grade, terrain and water/
mud conditions.
WARNING
OLMB053018
Do not drive across the contour
of steep hills. A slight change in
the wheel angle can destabilize
the vehicle, or a stable vehicle
may lose stability if the vehicle
stops its forward motion. Your
vehicle may roll over and lead to
a serious injury or death.
WARNING
Always drive slowly in water. If
you drive too fast, water may
get into the engine compart-ment and wet the ignition sys-
tem causing your vehicle to

Additional driving conditions
Become familiar with the off-roadconditions before driving.
Always pay attention when driving off-road and avoid dangerous
areas.
Drive slowly when driving in heavy wind.
Reduce vehicle speed when cor- nering. The center of gravity of
4WD vehicles is higher than con-
ventional 2WD vehicles, making
them more likely to roll over when
you rapidly turn corners. Always hold the steering wheel
firmly when you are driving off-road.
Emergency precautions
Tires
Do not use tire and wheel with differ-
ent size and type from the one origi-
nally installed on your vehicle. It can
affect the safety and performance of
your vehicle, which could lead to
steering failure or rollover causing
serious injury.
When replacing the tires, be sure to
equip all four tires with the tire and
wheel of the same size, type, tread,
brand and load-carrying capacity. If
you equip your vehicle with anytire/wheel combination not recom-
mended by HYUNDAI for off-road
driving, you should not use these
tires for highway driving.
OOS057075L
Do not grab the inside of the
steering wheel when you are
driving off-road. You may hurt
your arm by a sudden steering
maneuver or from steeringwheel rebound due to an impact
with objects on the ground. You
could lose control of the steer-
ing wheel which may lead to
serious injury or death.
WARNING
Never start or run the engine
while a full-time 4WD vehicle is
raised on a jack. The vehicle can
slip or roll off of a jack causing
serious injury or death to you or
those nearby.

The ISG system is to reduce the fuel
consumption by automatically shut-
ting down the engine, when the vehi-
cle is at a standstill (i.e. red stop light,
stop sign, and traffic jam).
The engine is automatically started
upon satisfying the starting condi-
tions.
The ISG system is always active,
when the engine is running.Information
When the engine is automatically
started by the ISG system, some warn-
ing lights (i.e. ABS, ESC, ESC OFF,
EPS, and parking brake warning
light) may illuminate for a few sec-
onds due to the low battery voltage.
However, it does not indicate a mal-
function with the ISG system.To activate the ISG system
Prerequisite for activation
The ISG system operates in the fol-
lowing situations.
- The driver's seatbelt is fastened.
- The driver's door and the hood are closed.
- The brake vacuum pressure is adequate.
- The battery is sufficiently charged.
- The outside temperature is between -20 °C and 35 °C (-4 °F and 95 °F).
- The engine coolant temperature is not too low.
- The system is not in the diagnostic mode.
- The steering wheel is not steered excessively. (for dual clutch trans-
mission vehicle)
- The vehicle is driven on a steep incline. (for dual clutch transmis-
sion vehicle) Information
 The ISG system is not activated, when the prerequisites to activate
the ISG system are unsatisfied. In
this case, the ISG OFF button indi-
cator illuminates, and the auto stop
indicator ( ) illuminates in yellow

FCA warning message and
system control
The FCA produces warning mes-
sages and warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk levels,
such as abrupt stopping of the vehi-
cle in front, insufficient braking dis-
tance, or pedestrian detection. Also,
it controls the brakes in accordance
with the collision risk levels.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the LCD display. The
options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include Early,
Normal or Late initial warning time.
Collision Warning (First warning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning
chime. Additionally, some vehicle
system intervention occurs by theengine management system to help
decelerate the vehicle. - Your vehicle speed may deceler-ate moderately.
- The FCA system limitedly con- trols the brakes to preemptivelymitigate impact in a collision.
Completely stop the vehicle
on a safe location before
operating the switch on the
steering wheel to activate/
deactivate the FCA system.
The FCA automatically acti-
vates upon placing the Engine
Start/Stop button to the ON
position. The driver can deac-
tivate the FCA by cancelingthe system setting on the LCD
display.
The FCA automatically deacti-
vates upon canceling the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control).When the ESC is canceled,
the FCA cannot be activated
on the LCD display. The FCAwarning light will illuminate
which is normal.

Emergency braking (Second warning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning
chime.
Additionally, some vehicle system
intervention occurs by the enginemanagement system to help decel-
erate the vehicle.
- The FCA system limitedly con-trols the brakes to preemptively
mitigate impact in a collision. The
brake control is maximized just
before a collision.
Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the braking system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver's depressing the brake pedal.
The FCA provides additional brak- ing power for optimum braking per-
formance, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal.
The braking control is automatical- ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
The FCA brake control is automat- ically canceled, when risk factors
disappear.
OOS057017L
The driver should always use
extreme caution while operating
the vehicle, whether or not there
is a warning message or alarm
from the FCA system.
CAUTION
The braking control cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor
avoid all collisions. The drivershould hold the responsibility
to safely drive and control the
vehicle.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system.
WARNING
The FCA 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 theFCA system.

The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) sys-
tem with a camera at the front wind-
shield, helps detect 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 warn-ing, while applying a slight counter-
steering torque, trying to prevent the
vehicle from moving out of its lane.
OOS057033 The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
system is not a substitute for safe
driving practices, but a conven-
ience function. It is the responsi-
bility of the driver to always be
aware of the surrounding and
steer the vehicle.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using the Lane KeepingAssist (LKA) system:
Do not steer the steering
wheel suddenly when thesteering wheel is being assist-
ed by the system.
LKA system helps to prevent
the driver from moving out of
the lane unintentionally byassisting the driver's steering.
However, the driver should
not solely rely on the system
but always pay attention on
the steering wheel to stay in
the lane.
WARNING
The operation of the LKA sys- tem can be canceled or not
work properly according to
road condition and surround-
ings. Always be cautiouswhen driving.
Do not disassemble the LKA
system camera temporarily to
tint the window or attach anytypes of coatings and acces-
sories. If you disassemble the
camera and assemble it again,
we recommend that you take
your vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the
system checked for calibra-tion.
When you replace the wind-
shield glass, LKA system
camera or related parts of the
steering wheel, we recom-
mend that you take your vehi-
cle to an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer and have the system
checked for calibration.

LKA operation
To activate/deactivate the LKA sys- tem:
With the ignition switch in the ON
position, press the LKA system but-
ton located on the instrument panel
on the left hand side of the steering
wheel. (Right hand side of the steer-
ing wheel for RHD vehicles.)
The indicator in the cluster display
will initially illuminate white. This indi-cates the LKA system is in the
READY but NOT ENABLED state.
The system detects lane
markers and controls the
steering wheel by a camera,
therefore, if the lane markers
are hard to detect, the system
may not work properly.
Please refer to "Limitations of the system".
Do not remove or damage the
related parts of LKA system.
You may not hear a warning sound of LKA system
because of excessive audiosound.
Do not place objects on the
dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. The system may malfunc-tion if the sunlight is reflected.
Always have your hands on the steering wheel while the
LKA system is activated. If
you continue to drive with
your hands off the steering
wheel after the "Keep handson steering wheel" warning
message appears, the system
will turn off automatically.
The steering wheel is not con-
tinuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher
rate when leaving a lane the
vehicle may not be controlled
by the system. The driver
must always follow the speedlimit when using the system.
If you attach objects to the
steering wheel, the system
may not assist steering or the
hands off alarm may not work
properly.
When you tow a trailer, make
sure that you turn off the LKAsystem.
