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.

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

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.

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.

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.

(Continued)
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.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
OIK057080LOOSEV058076N
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.
Drive your vehicle at reduced
speeds during the following
conditions:
Rough, gravel or snow-cov-
ered roads.
