Good Driving Practices
Never shift to P (Park) or N
(Neutral) to any other position with
the accelerator pedal depressed.
Never shift to P (Park) when the
vehicle is in motion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
Do not shift to N (Neutral) when
driving. Doing so may result in an
accident.
Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. Even light, but
consistent pedal pressure can
result in the brakes overheating,
brake wear and possibly even
brake failure.
Alway apply the parking brake
when parked on a sloped driveway
or hill when leaving the vehicle. Do
not depend on placing the gear in
P (Park) to keep the vehicle from
moving. Exercise extreme caution when
driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. Also,
avoid increasing the regenerative
braking level suddenly. On a slip-
pery surface, an abrupt change in
vehicle speed can cause the drive
wheels to lose traction and may
cause loss of vehicle control result-
ing 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.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
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.

Driving your vehicle
The paddle shifter is used to adjust
the regenerative braking rate from 0
to 3 during decelerating or braking.
Left side ( ): Increases regener-
ative braking and deceleration.
Right side ( ): Decreases
regenerative braking and decelera-
tion.
Pull and hold the left side paddle
shifter to change to 0.
Pull and hold the left side paddle
shifter to change to 3.
Information
The paddle shifter does not operate
when:
• Both Paddle shifters are pulled at
the same time.
• The Cruise Control system or Smart
Cruise Control system is activated.
• The vehicle is shifted to P (Park),
R(Reverse) and N (Neutral).
The selected regenerative braking
rate is displayed on the instrument
cluster.
What Does Regenerative
Braking Do?
It uses the electric motor when
decelerating or braking which trans-
forms vehicle motion (kinetic energy)
to electrical energy to charge the
high voltage batteries.

Driving your vehicle
Initial setting of the regenerative
braking level and adjustable range
vary according to the selected Drive
mode.
For more details, refer to "Drive
Mode Integrated Control System"
in this chapter.One Pedal Driving
The driver can stop the vehicle by
pulling and holding the left side pad-
dle shifter.
Operating Conditions
The system enters the operating
condition when the conditions below
are met:
The driver's door is closed.
The driver's seat belt is fastened.
To operate:
Pull and hold the left side paddle
shifter while coasting.
When the vehicle speed is above 3
km/h, release the paddle shifter to
return to the previously set level.
When the vehicle speed is below 3
km/h, the function maintains con-
trol to stop the vehicle even though
the paddle shifter is released.
While the One pedal driving is in
activation, the driver can control
the vehicle stopping position using
the accelerator pedal.
Automatic engagement of
Electronic Parking Brake
After the vehicle is stopped by the
One Pedal Driving function,
Electronic Parking Brake is automat-
ically engaged when any of these
conditions occur:
The driver's door is open
The driver's seatbelt is unfastened.
The hood is open
The tailgate is open.
5 minutes have passed after the
vehicle has stopped.
The system operation is limited
due to other reasons.

necessary.
WARNING

5-18
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

Driving your vehicle
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

5-19
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.

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.
WARNING

5-20
Cancelling the Smart
Regeneration System:
Cancelled manually
Pulling and holding the right side
paddle shifter for more than 1 sec-
ond.
The Smart Regeneration System
turns off temporarily. Note that the
"AUTO" indicator in the LCD dis-
play turns off.
Cancelled automatically
- The vehicle is shifted to N
(Neutral), R (Reverse) or P
(Park).
- The Cruise Control System
(including the Smart Cruise
Control system) is enabled.
- The ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) or ABS is activated.
Resuming the Smart
Regeneration System
To re-activate the Smart
Regeneration System while driving,
pull and hold the right side paddle
shifter for more than 1 second again.
Note that the "AUTO" indicator in the
LCD display turns back on, signaling
that the Smart Regeneration System
is enabled again.
Disabling the Smart
Regeneration System
To turn off the system, shift to P (Park)
and deselect 'User Settings →
Convenience →Smart Regeneration'
on the User Settings mode.
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.
Driving your vehicle
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.
(Continued)
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.
