The purpose of this feature is to pre-
vent the battery from being dis-
charged. The system automatically
turns off the parking lamp when the

when the engine is turned off, perform
the following:
1) Open the driver-side door.
2) Turn the parking lamps OFF andON again using the light switch on
the steering column.

If engine Start/Stop button is in the
ACC or OFF position with the head-
lamps ON, the headlamps (and/or
parking lamps) remain on for about 5
minutes. However, if the driver’s door
is opened and closed, the headlamps
are turned off after 15 seconds.

ver’s door is opened and closed, the
headlamps (and/or parking lamps)
are turned off after 15 seconds.
The headlamps (and/or parking
lamps) can be turned off by pressing
the lock button on the smart key
twice or turning the light switch to the
OFF or AUTO position. However, if
you turn the light switch to the AUTO

"LCD Display" section in this
chapter. If the driver gets out of the vehicle
through other doors (except dri-
ver’s door), the battery saver func-
tion does not operate and the
headlamp delay function does not
turn off automatically. Therefore, It
causes the battery to be dis-
charged. In this case, make sure
to turn off the lamp before getting
out of the vehicle.

AFLS (Adaptive Front LightingSystem) a.k.a. DBL (DynamicBending Light) (if equipped)

the steering angle and vehicle speed
to help maximize your field of vision
by swiveling and leveling the head-
lamp.

tion when the engine is running. The
adaptive front lighting system will
operate when the headlamps are
ON. To turn off the AFLS, change the
switch to other positions. After turn-
ing the AFLS off, headlamp swiveling
no longer occurs, but the leveling will
operate continuously. If the AFLS malfunction indicator

gently toward you to spray washer
fluid on the windshield and to run the
wipers 1-3 cycles. The spray and
wiper operation will continue until you
release the lever. If the washer does

on the headlamp at the same time you
operate the windshield washer when:
1. Engine Start/Stop button is in the
ON position.

the washer pump, do not oper-
ate the washer when the fluid
reservoir is empty.
To prevent possible damage to the wipers or windshield, do not
operate the wipers when the
windshield is dry.
To prevent damage to the wiper arms and other components, do
not attempt to move the wipers
manually.
To prevent possible damage to the wipers and washer system,
use anti-freezing washer fluids
in the winter season or cold
weather.
NOTICE
When the outside temperature is
below freezing, ALWAYS warm the
windshield using the defroster to
prevent the washer fluid from
freezing on the windshield and
obscuring your vision which
could result in an accident and
serious injury or death.

Limitations of the System
The driver must be cautious in the
below situations may not work prop-
erly when :
It is difficult to distinguish the lanemarker from road when the lane
marker is covered with dust.
It is difficult to distinguish the color of the lane marker from road.
There is something looks like a lane marker.
The lane marker is indistinct or damaged.
The number of lanes increases/ decreases or the lane lines are
crossing (Driving through a toll
plaza/toll gate, merged/divided
lane).
There are more than two lane markers.
The lane marker is very thick or thin.
The lane marker is not visible due to snow, rain, stain, a puddle or
other factors. A shadow is on the lane marker
because of a median strip,
guardrail, noise barriers and oth-
ers.
When the lane markers are compli- cated or a structure substitutes for
the lines such as a construction
area.
There are crosswalk signs or other symbols on the road.
The lane marker in a tunnel is cov- ered with dirt or oil.
The brightness of outside changes suddenly when entering or exiting
a tunnel.
The headlamps are not on at night or in a tunnel, or light level is low.
There is a boundary structure in the roadway.
The light of street, sun, oncoming vehicle and so on reflects from the
water on the road.
When light shines brightly in the reverse direction you drive.
The lane suddenly disappears such as at the intersection. The distance from the vehicle
ahead is very short or the vehicle
ahead drives hiding the lane line.
You drive on a steep grade or a sharp curve.
The vehicle vibrates heavily.
The temperature near inside mirror is very high due to direct sun light.
The lens or windshield is covered by strange materials.
The sensor cannot detect the lane because of fog, heavy rain or snow.
The windshield is fogged by humid air in the vehicle.
Putting something on the crash pad.

Driving your vehicle
Information
The ESC system must be turned OFF
before rocking the vehicle.
If you are still stuck after rocking
the vehicle a few times, have the
vehicle pulled out by a tow vehicle
to avoid engine overheating, possi-
ble damage to the transmission,
and tire damage. See "Towing" in
chapter 6.
Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are
wet. Ideally, corners should always
be taken under gentle acceleration.
Driving at night
Night driving presents more hazards
than driving in the daylight. Here are
some important tips to remember:
Slow down and keep more dis-tance between you and other vehi-
cles, as it may be more difficult to
see at night, especially in areas
where there may not be any street
lights.
Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare from other driver's head-
lamps.
Keep your headlamps clean and properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlamps will make it
much more difficult to see at night.
Avoid staring directly at the head- lamps of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.

Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or
on slick pavement:
Slow down and allow extra follow-ing distance. A heavy rainfall
makes it harder to see and increas-
es the distance needed to stop
your vehicle.
Turn OFF your Cruise Control.
Replace your windshield wiper blades when they show signs of
streaking or missing areas on the
windshield.
Be sure your tires have enough tread. If your tires do not have
enough tread, making a quick stop
on wet pavement can cause a skid
and possibly lead to an accident.
See "Tire Tread" in chapter 7.
Turn on your headlamps to make it easier for others to see you.
Driving too fast through large pud- dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly. If you believe your brakes may be
wet, apply them lightly while driv-
ing until normal braking operation
returns.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the
water. The best advice is SLOW
DOWN when the road is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increas-
es as the depth of tire tread
decreases, refer to "Tire Tread" in
chapter 7.
Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel
hub. Drive through any water slowly.
Allow adequate stopping distance
because brake performance may be
reduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them sev-
eral times while the vehicle is moving
slowly.
