Driving your vehicle
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park).
To shift the gear from R (Reverse), N
(Neutral) or D (Drive) to P (Park),
press the [P] button.
If you turn off the vehicle in D (Drive)
or R (Reverse), the gear automatical-
ly shifts to P (Park).
With the vehicle on, the gear auto-matically shifts to P (Park) if you
open the driver’s door when the
gear is in N (Neutral), R (Reverse)
or D (Drive) and the following con-
ditions are met:
- The brake/accelerator pedal isnot depressed
- The seat belt is unfastened
- The vehicle speed is below 1 mph (2 km/h)
When the vehicle is over a certain speed, the gear does not shift to P
(Park) when the P button is
pressed.
R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
in reverse.
To shift to R (Reverse), press the [R]
button while depressing the brake
pedal.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and gear are not
engaged.
To shift to N (Neutral), press the [N]
button while depressing the brake
pedal.
Always depress the brake pedal
when you are shifting from N
(Neutral) to another gear.
In N (Neutral), if the driver attempts
to turn off the vehicle, the gear
remains in N (Neutral) and the
POWER button will be in the ACC
position.
To turn off the vehicle from the ACC
position, press the [P] button within 3
minutes. The vehicle will shift to P
(Park) and turn off.
Shifting into P (Park) while the
vehicle is in motion may
cause you to lose control of
the vehicle.
After the vehicle has stopped,
always make sure the gear is
in P (Park), apply the parking
brake, and turn the vehicle off.
Do not use the P (Park) posi-
tion in place of the parking
brake.
WARNING

5-18
Driving your vehicle
Exercise extreme caution when driving 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.
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.
WARNING
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.
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.

The Smart Regeneration System
controls the regenerative braking
automatically according to the road
gradient and driving condition of the
vehicle in front. The system mini-
mizes the unnecessary operation of
the brake and acceleration pedal,
improving the fuel efficiency and
assisting the driver.System Setting
The Smart Regeneration System is
enabled when:
The gear is in P (Park) and select
'User settings →Convenience →
Smart Regeneration' on the User
Settings mode.
The setting is maintained when the
vehicle is restarted.
Activating the Smart
Regeneration System
With 'AUTO' for the regenerative
braking level displayed on the clus-
ter, the regenerative braking level is
controlled automatically when vehi-
cle speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h)
and one of the condition below is
met.
- The road gradient changes
- Distance from the vehicle ahead reduces or increases
- Speed of the vehicle ahead reduces or increases

When vehicle speed is under 6
mph (10 km/h), the Smart
Regeneration System is can-
celled. The driver must adjust
the vehicle speed by depress-
ing the accelerator or brake
pedal according to the road
condition ahead and driving
condition.
WARNING

5-22
Driving your vehicle
When the system is turned on from
the User Settings mode, but the front
radar doesn't recognize the vehicle
in front, 'AUTO' is displayed in white. If the front radar recognizes the vehi-
cle in front, 'AUTO' is displayed in
blue. The regenerative braking level
is automatically controlled depend-
ing on the driving condition of the
vehicle in front and the level is indi-
cated with arrows.
However, current regenerative brak-
ing level is maintained if the driver
depresses the brake pedal while the
system is in activation. Also, the sys-
tem is cancelled temporarily if the
accelerator pedal is depressed.
OOSEV058097NOOSEV058001N
The Smart Regeneration
System which automatically
controls the regenerative brak-
ing level when coasting is only
a supplemental system for the
driver's convenience. The sys-
tem cannot completely stop the
vehicle nor avoid all collisions.
The brake control may be insuf-
ficient depending on the speed
of the vehicle in front and when
the vehicle in front suddenly
stops, a vehicle cuts in sudden-
ly or there is a steep slope.
Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occurring.

Vehicle-to-Vehicle Front
Recognition - Front Radar
Sensor
In order for the Smart Regeneration
System to operate properly, always
make sure the radar sensor cover is
clean and free of dirt, snow, and
debris. Dirt, snow, or foreign sub-
stances on the lens may adversely
affect the sensing performance of
the sensor. In this case, the system
operation may stop temporarily and
not operate normally.
Do not apply license plate
frame or foreign objects such
as a bumper sticker or a
bumper guard near the radar
sensor. Doing so may adverse-
ly affect the sensing perform-
ance of the radar.
Always keep the radar sensor
and lens cover clean and free
of dirt and debris.
CAUTION
When the Smart Regeneration
System is cancelled automati-
cally, adjust the vehicle speed
directly by depressing the
accelerator or brake pedal
according to the road condition
ahead and driving condition.

Warning Message
Check Smart Regeneration System
The message will appear when the
system is not functioning normally.
The system will be disabled and the
"AUTO" indicator in the LCD display
will be turned off. Check for foreign
substances on the front radar.
Remove any dirt, snow, or foreign
material that could interfere with the
radar sensors. If the system still does
not operate normally, take your vehi-
cle to an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er and have the system checked.
Limitations of the System
The Smart Regeneration System
may not operate properly in certain
situations when the driving condition
is beyond the performance of the
front radar sensor.
Driver's attention is required in such
cases when the system does not
react properly or operate uninten-
tionally.Use only a soft cloth to wash
the vehicle. Do not spray pres-
surized water directly on the
sensor or sensor cover.
Be careful not to apply unnec-
essary force on the radar sen-
sor or sensor cover. If the sen-
sor is forcibly moved out of
proper alignment, the Smart
Regeneration System may not
operate correctly. In this case,
a warning message may not
be displayed. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
If the front bumper becomes
damaged in the area around
the radar sensor, the Smart
Regeneration System may not
operate properly. Have the
vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only genuine HYUNDAI
parts to repair or replace a
damaged sensor or sensor
cover. Do not apply paint to
the sensor cover.

The Smart Regeneration System
may not operate temporarily due
to:
Electrical interference
Modifying the suspension
Differences of tire abrasion ortire pressure
Installing different type of tires
NOTICE Vehicles moving in front of
you with frequent lane
changes may cause a delay in
the system's reaction or may
cause the system to react to a
vehicle actually in an adjacent
lane. Always drive cautiously
to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occur-
ring.
The Smart Regeneration
System may not recognize
complex driving situations so
always pay attention to driv-
ing conditions and control
your vehicle speed.
When using the Smart
Regeneration System take the
following precautions:
If an emergency stop is nec-
essary, you must apply the
brakes.
Keep a safe distance accord-
ing to road conditions and
vehicle speed. If the vehicle-
to-vehicle distance is too
close and the brakes are sud-
denly applied, a serious colli-
sion may result.
Always maintain sufficient
braking distance and deceler-
ate your vehicle by applying
the brakes if necessary.
The Smart Regeneration
System cannot recognize a
stopped vehicle, pedestrians
or an oncoming vehicle.
Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occur-
ring.
