Driving your vehicle
Exercise extreme caution whendriving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident
Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the
accelerator.
5
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
ALWAYS wear your seat belt.
In a collision, an unbelted
occupant is significantly more
likely to be seriously injured
or killed than a properly belt-
ed occupant.
Avoid high speeds when cor-
nering or turning.
Do not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,
sharp turns.
The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control
of your vehicle at highway
speeds.
Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off
the roadway and the driver
over steers to reenter the
roadway.
(Continued)
(Continued)
In the event your vehicle
leaves the roadway, do not
steer sharply. Instead, slow
down before pulling back into
the travel lanes.
HYUNDAI recommends you
follow all posted speed limits.
WARNING
5-34
Driving your vehicle
When operating
When the ESC is in opera-
tion, the ESC indicator light
blinks:
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.
cle may not respond to the acceler-
ator as it does under routine condi-
tions.
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)
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 stability and traction
of the vehicle and does not indicate
a problem.
ESC OFF condition
To cancel ESC operation :
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
management) is disabled, but the
brake control function of ESC (brak-
ing 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 of
ESC (engine management) and the
brake control function of ESC (brak-
ing management) are disabled.
If the ignition switch is placed in the
LOCK/OFF position when ESC is off,
ESC remains off. Upon restarting the
vehicle, the ESC will automatically
turn on again.

Driving your vehicle
To prevent damage to the trans-
mission:
Do not allow wheel(s) of one axle to spin excessively whilst the
ESC, ABS, and parking brake
warning lights are displayed. The
repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Reduce
engine power and do not spin
the wheel(s) excessively whilst
these lights are displayed.
When operating the vehicle on a dynamometer, make sure the
ESC is turned off (ESC OFF light
illuminated).
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
tyres 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 9 mph (15 km/h) on curve
roads.
Vehicle speed is approximately above 12 mph (20 km/h) 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 substi-
tute for safe driving practices.
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 severe
accidents.

To temporarily accelerate withthe Smart Cruise Control on
If you want to speed up temporarily
when the Smart Cruise Control is on,
depress the accelerator pedal.
Increased speed will not interfere
with Smart Cruise Control operation
or change the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your
foot off the accelerator pedal.
If you push the toggle switch down
(SET-) at increased speed, the cruis-
ing speed will be set again.
Information
Be careful when accelerating tem-
porarily, because the speed is not con-
trolled automatically at this time even
if there is a vehicle in front of you.
Smart Cruise Control will betemporarily cancelled when:
Cancelled manually
Depressing the brake pedal.
Pressing the CANCEL/ button
located on the steering wheel.
The Smart Cruise Control turns off
temporarily when the Set Speed and
Vehicle-to-Vehicle Distance indicator
on the LCD display turns off.
The cruise ( ) indicator is
illuminated continuously. Cancelled automatically
The driver's door is opened.
The shift lever is shifted to N
(Neutral), R (Reverse) or P (Park).
The parking brake is applied.
The vehicle speed is under 5 mph (10 km/h).
The vehicle speed is over 120 mph (190 km/h).
The ESC (Electronic Stability Control), TCS (Traction Control
System) or ABS is operating.
The ESC is turned off.
The sensor or the cover is dirty or blocked with foreign matter.
The accelerator pedal is continu- ously depressed for a long period
of time.
The SCC system has malfunc- tioned.
The engine performance is abnor- mal.
The FCA is activated.i

Tyre care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tyre
inflation pressures and stay within
the load limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle.
(Continued)Replace tyres that are worn,
show uneven wear, or are dam-
aged. Worn tyres can cause
loss of braking effectiveness,
steering control, or traction.
ALWAYS replace tyres with
the same size as each tyre
that was originally supplied
with this vehicle. Using tyres
and wheels other than the rec-
ommended sizes could cause
unusual handling characteris-
tics, poor vehicle control, or
negatively affect your vehi-
cle’s Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) resulting in a serious
accident.
Tyre failure may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an
accident. To reduce risk of
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH,
take the following precautions:
Inspect your tyres monthly for
proper inflation as well as
wear and damage.
The recommended cold tyre
pressure for your vehicle can
be found in this manual and on
the tyre label located on the
driver’s side centre pillar.
Always use a tyre pressure
gauge to measure tyre pres-
sure. Tyres with too much or
too little pressure wear
unevenly causing poor han-
dling.
Check the pressure of the
spare every time you check
the pressure of the other tyres
on your vehicle.

Maintenance
Wheel alignment and tyre bal-
ance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tyre
life and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to
have your wheels aligned again.
However, if you notice unusual tyre
wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other, the alignment may need
to be reset.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating
when driving on a smooth road, your
wheels may need to be rebalanced.
Incorrect wheel weights can dam-
age your vehicle’s aluminium
wheels. Use only approved wheel
weights.
Tyre replacement
If the tyre is worn evenly, a tread
wear indicator will appear as a solid
band across the tread. This shows
there is less than 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) of
tread left on the tyre. Replace the
tyre when this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replac-
ing the tyre.
NOTICE
OLMB073027
Tread wear indicatorTo reduce the risk of DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY:
Replace tyres that are worn,
show uneven wear, or are
damaged. Worn tyres can
cause loss of braking effec-
tiveness, steering control, and
traction.
Always replace tyres with the
same size as each tyre that
was originally supplied with
this vehicle. Using tyres and
wheels other than the recom-
mended sizes could cause
unusual handling characteris-
tics, poor vehicle control, or
negatively affect your vehi-
cle’s Anti-Lock Brake System
