EPB malfunction indicator (if equipped)
This warning light illuminates if the
Engine Start/Stop button is changedto the ON position and goes off in
approximately 3 seconds if the sys-
tem is operating normally. If the EPB malfunction indicator
remains on, comes on while driving,or does not come on when the
Engine Start/Stop button is changedto the ON position, this indicates that
the EPB may have malfunctioned.
If this occurs, have the system
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer. The EPB malfunction indicator mayilluminate when the ESC indicatorcomes on to indicate that the ESC is
not working properly, but it does not
indicate a malfunction of the EPB.
If the EPB warning light is still
on, have the system checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
If the parking brake warning light does not illuminate or
blinks even though the EPB
switch was pulled up, the EPB
may not be applied.
If the parking brake warning light blinks when the EPB warn-
ing light is on, press the switch,
and then pull it up. Repeat this
one more time. If the EPB warn-
ing does not go off, have the
system checked by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
Emergency braking
If there is a problem with the brake
pedal while driving, emergency brak-
ing is possible by pulling up and
holding the EPB switch. Braking is
possible only while you are holding
the EPB switch. However, braking
distance will be longer than normal.
Information
During emergency braking, the park-
ing brake warning light will illumi-
nate to indicate that the system is
operating.

AUTO HOLD conditions not met.
Close door and hood
When you press the [AUTO HOLD]
switch, if the driver's door and engine
hood are not closed, a warning willsound and a message will appear on
the LCD display. At this moment,
press the [AUTO HOLD] button after
closing the driver's door and enginehood.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
ABS is an electronic braking system
that helps prevent a braking skid.
ABS allows the driver to steer and
brake at the same time.(Continued)
Drive your vehicle at reduced
speeds during the followingconditions:
Rough, gravel or snow-cov-
ered roads.
On roads where the road sur-
face is pitted or has differentsurface height.
The safety features of an ABS
or ESC equipped vehicle should
not be tested by high speed
driving or cornering. This could
endanger the safety of yourself
or others.
An Anti-Lock Braking System
(ABS) or an Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system will not
prevent accidents due to
improper or dangerous driving
maneuvers. Even though vehi-
cle control is improved during
emergency braking, always
maintain a safe distance
between you and objects ahead
of you. Vehicle speeds should
always be reduced during
extreme road conditions. The
braking distance for cars
equipped with ABS or ESC may
be longer than for those without
these systems in the following
road conditions. (Continued)

Driving your vehicle
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 malfunctioning.
Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
The Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system helps to stabilize the
vehicle during cornering maneuvers.
ESC checks where you are steering
and where the vehicle is actually
going. ESC applies braking pressure
to any one of the vehicle's brakes
and intervenes in the engine man-
agement 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
indicator lights illuminate for approxi-
mately three seconds. After both
lights go off, the ESC is enabled.

When you drive on a road hav-
ing poor traction, such as an icy
road, and apply your brakes
continuously, the ABS will be
active continuously 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
warning light is off, then yourABS system is normal.
Otherwise, you may have a
problem with your ABS system.
Contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.
CAUTION
OPD056028 Never drive too fast for the road
conditions or too quickly when
cornering. The ESC system will
not prevent accidents. Excessive speed in turns,
abrupt maneuvers, and
hydroplaning on wet surfaces
can result in severe accidents.
WARNING

5-50
Driving your vehicle
When operating
When the ESC is in opera- tion, 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 rou-
tine conditions.
If the Cruise Control was in use when the ESC activates, the Cruise
Control automatically disengages.
The Cruise Control can be reen-gaged 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 accelerator pedal
deeply. This is to maintain the sta-
bility and traction of the vehicle and
does not indicate a problem.
ESC OFF condition
To cancel ESC operation : State 1
Press the ESC OFF button briefly. The ESC OFF indicator light and
message "Traction Control disabled“
will illuminate. In this state, the trac-tion control function of ESC (engine man-
agement) is disabled, but the brake
control function of ESC (braking
management) still operates.
Press and hold the ESC OFF button
continuously for more than 3 sec-
onds. The ESC OFF indicator light
and message "Traction & Stability
Control disabled" illuminates and a
warning chime sounds. In this state,
both the traction control function ofESC (engine management) and the
brake control function of ESC (brak-
ing management) are disabled.
If the ignition switch is placed to the
LOCK/OFF position when ESC is off,
ESC remains off. Upon restarting the
engine, the ESC will automatically
turn on again.

Driving your vehicle
To prevent damage to the trans- mission:
Do not allow wheel(s) of oneaxle to spin excessively while
the ESC, ABS, and parking brake
warning lights are displayed.
The repairs would not be cov-
ered by the vehicle warranty.
Reduce engine power and do
not spin the wheel(s) excessive-
ly while these lights are dis-
played.
When operating the vehicle on a dynamometer, make sure theESC is turned off (ESC OFF lightilluminated).
Information
Turning the ESC off does not affect
ABS or standard brake system opera-
tion.
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 accelerating or braking sud-
denly 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 15 km/h (9 mph) on curve
roads.
Vehicle speed is approximately above 20 km/h (12 mph) when the
vehicle is braking on rough roads.
When operating
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may activate the
ESC, you may hear sounds from the
brakes, or feel a corresponding sen-
sation in the brake pedal. This is nor-
mal and it means your VSM is active.
i
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 sub-
stitute for safe driving prac-tices.
Never drive too fast for the
road conditions. The VSM sys-
tem will not prevent acci-
dents. Excessive speed in bad
weather, slippery and uneven
roads can result in severeaccidents.
