A full-time 4WD vehicle should not
be tested on a 2WD roll tester. If a
2WD roll tester must be used, per-
form the following procedure:
1. Check the tyre pressures recom-
mended for your vehicle.
2. Place the front wheels on the roll
tester for a speedometer test as
shown in the illustration.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Place the rear wheels on the tem-
porary free roller as shown in the
illustration.
Reducing the risk of a rollover
This multi-purpose passenger vehi-
cle is defined as a Sports Utility
Vehicle (SUV). SUV’s have higher
ground clearance and a narrower
track to make them capable of per-
forming in a wide variety of off-road
applications. Specific design charac-
teristics give them a higher centre of
gravity than ordinary vehicles. An
advantage of the higher ground
clearance is a better view of the
road, which allows you to anticipate
problems. They are not designed for
cornering at the same speeds as
conventional passenger vehicles,
any more than low-slung sports cars
are designed to perform satisfactori-
ly in off-road conditions. Due to this
risk, driver and passengers are
strongly recommended to buckle
their seat belts. In a rollover crash,
an unbelted person is more likely to
die than a person wearing a seat
belt. There are steps that a driver
can make to reduce the risk of a
rollover. If at all possible, avoid sharp
turns or abrupt manoeuvres, do not
load your roof rack with heavy cargo,
and never modify your vehicle in any
way.

•Never engage the parking
brake whilst performing the
test.
•When the vehicle is lifted up,
do not operate the front and
rear wheel separately. All four
wheels should be operated.
CAUTION
Keep away from the front of the
vehicle whilst the vehicle is in
gear on the dynamometer. The
vehicle can jump forward and
cause serious injury or death.

Rollover
As with other Sports Utility
Vehicle (SUV), failure to operate
this vehicle correctly may result
in loss of control, an accident or
vehicle rollover.
•Utility vehicles have a signifi-
cantly higher rollover rate
than other types of vehicles.
•Specific design characteris-
tics (higher ground clearance,
narrower track, etc.) give this
vehicle a higher centre of
gravity than ordinary vehicles.
•A SUV is not designed for cor-
nering at the same speeds as
conventional vehicles.
•Avoid sharp turns or abrupt
manoeuvres.
•In a rollover crash, an unbelt-
ed person is significantly
more likely to die than a per-
son wearing a seat belt. Make
sure everyone in the vehicle is
properly buckled up.
WARNING
Your vehicle is equipped with
tyres designed to provide safe
ride and handling capability. Do
not use a size and type of tyre
and wheel that is different from
the one that is originally
installed on your vehicle. It can
affect the safety and perform-
ance of your vehicle, which
could lead to steering failure or
rollover and serious injury.
When replacing the tyres, be
sure to equip all four tyres with
the tyre and wheel of the same
size, type, tread, brand and
load-carrying capacity. If you
nevertheless decide to equip
your vehicle with any tyre/wheel
combination not recommended
by HYUNDAI for off road driv-
ing, you should not use these
tyres for highway driving.
WARNING
Jacked vehicle
Whilst a full-time 4WD vehicle is
being raised on a jack, never
start the engine or cause the
tyres to rotate.
There is a danger that rotating
tyres touching the ground could
cause the vehicle to fall off the
jack and to jump forward or
rearward.

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 bonnet
are closed.
- The brake vacuum pressure is
adequate.
- The battery is sufficiently charged.
- The outside temperature is between
-10 °C and 35 °C (14 °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 automatic trans-
mission vehicle)
- The vehicle is driven on a steep
incline. (for automatic transmission
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
on the instrument cluster.
• When the above indicator remains
illuminated on the instrument clus-
ter, we recommend that you have
the ISG system checked by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

SMART mode selects the
proper driving mode
among ECO, COMFORT
and SPORT by judging
the driver's driving habits (i.e. mild or
dynamic) from the brake pedal
depression or the steering wheel
operation.• Press the DRIVE MODE button to
activate SMART mode. When
SMART mode is activated, the
indicator illuminates on the instru-
ment cluster.
• The vehicle starts in SMART
mode, when the engine was turned
OFF in SMART mode.
• SMART mode automatically con-
trols the vehicle driving, such as
gear shifting patterns, engine
torque, riding quality (if equipped
with the electronic suspension sys-
tem), and power distribution (if
equipped with the Four-Wheel
Drive (4WD) system), in accor-
dance with the driver's driving
habits.
Information
• When you mildly drive the vehicle
in SMART mode, the driving mode
changes to ECO mode to improve
fuel efficiency. However, the actual
fuel efficiency may differ in accor-
dance with your driving situations
(i.e. upward/downward slope, vehi-
cle deceleration/acceleration).
• When you dynamically drive the
vehicle in SMART mode by abrupt-
ly decelerating or sharply curving,
the driving mode changes to
SPORT mode. However, it may
adversely affect fuel economy.

Various driving situations,
which you may encounter in
SMART mode
• The driving mode automatically
changes to ECO mode after a cer-
tain period of time, when you gen-
tly depress the accelerator pedal
(Your driving is categorised to be
mild.).
• The driving mode automatically
changes from SMART ECO mode
to SMART COMFORT mode after
a certain period of time, when you
sharply or repetitively depress the
accelerator pedal.
• The driving mode automatically
changes to SMART COMFORT
mode with the same driving pat-
terns, when the vehicle starts to
drive on an upward slope of a cer-
tain angle. The driving mode auto-
matically returns to SMART ECO
mode, when the vehicle enters a
levelled road.• The driving mode automatically
changes to SMART SPORT, when
you abruptly accelerate the vehicle
or repetitively operate the steering
wheel (Your driving is categorized
to be sporty.). In this mode, your
vehicle drives in a lower gear for
abrupt accelerating/decelerating
and increases the engine brake
performance.
• You may still sense the engine
brake performance, even when you
release the accelerator pedal in
SMART SPORT mode. It is
because your vehicle remains to
be in a lower gear over a certain
period of time for next acceleration.
Thus, it is a normal driving situa-
tion, not indicating any malfunc-
tion.
• The driving mode automatically
changes to SMART SPORT mode
only in harsh driving situations. In
most of the normal driving situa-
tions, the driving mode sets to be
either in SMART ECO mode or in
SMART COMFORT mode.
Limitation of SMART mode
The SMART mode may be limited in
following situations. (The OFF indica-
tor illuminates in those situations.)
• The driver manually moves the
shift lever : It deactivates SMART
mode. The vehicle drives, as the
driver manually moves the shift
lever.
• The cruise control is activated :
The cruise system may deactivate
the SMART mode. When a higher
system is set by the cruise system,
it starts to control vehicle speed
and deactivates SMART mode.
(SMART mode is not deactivated
just by activing the cruise system.)
• The transmission oil temperature is
either extremely low or extremely
high : The SMART mode can be
active in most of the normal driving
situations. However, an extremely
high/ low transmission oil tempera-
ture may temporarily deactivate the
SMART mode, because the trans-
mission condition is out of normal
operation condition.

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 detection. Also, it controls the
brakes in accordance with the colli-
sion 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 Normal or
Late initial warning time.
If you select "Warning only", the FCA
system activates and produces only
warning alarms in accordance with
the collision risk levels. You should
control the brake directly because
the FCA system do not control the
brake.
Collision Warning
(First warning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning
chime.
- If you select "Warning only", the
FCA system activates and pro-
duces only warning alarms in
accordance with the collision risk
levels. You should control the
brake directly because the FCA
system do not control the brake.
•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 canceling
the system setting on the LCD
display.
•The FCA automatically deacti-
vates upon canceling the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control).
When the ESC is cancelled,
the FCA cannot be activated
on the LCD display. The FCA
warning light will illuminate
which is normal.
