Range
The range is the estimated distance
the vehicle can be driven with the
remaining fuel in the fuel tank
(Gasoline/Petrol) and high-voltage
(hybrid) battery (Electric).
If the estimated distance is below 1
mile (1 km), the trip computer will
display "---" as the range.
Information
• If the vehicle is not on level ground
or the battery power has been inter-
rupted, the range function may not
operate correctly.
• The range may differ from the actu-
al driving distance as it is an esti-
mate of the available driving dis-
tance.
• The trip computer may not register
additional fuel if less than 2 gallon (6
liters) of fuel are added to the vehicle.
• The range may vary significantly
based on driving conditions, driving
habits, and condition of the vehicle.
Fuel economy
Average Fuel Economy (1)

cally.
Manual reset
To clear the average fuel economy
manually, press the [OK] button on
the steering wheel for more than 1
second when the average fuel econo-
my is displayed.

Driving your vehicle
To reduce risk of serious injury
or death, NEVER allow children
or any person who is unfamiliar
with the vehicle to touch the
Engine Start/Stop button or
related parts. Unexpected and
sudden vehicle movement can
occur.
WARNING
OAE056001
NEVER press the Engine
Start/Stop button while the
vehicle is in motion except in
an emergency. This will result
in the engine turning off and
loss of power assist for the
steering and brake systems.
(Continued)
WARNING
To turn the vehicle off in an
emergency:
Press and hold the Engine
Start/Stop button for more than
two seconds OR rapidly press
and release the Engine Start/
Stop button three times (within
three seconds).
If the vehicle is still moving, you
can restart the engine without
depressing the brake pedal by
pressing the Engine Start/Stop
button with the shift lever in the
N (Neutral) position.
WARNING (Continued)
This may lead to loss of direc-
tional control and braking
function, which could cause
an accident.
Before leaving the driver's
seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in the P (Park)
position, set the parking
brake, press the Engine Start/
Stop button to the OFF posi-
tion, and take the Smart Key
with you. Unexpected vehicle
movement may occur if these
precautions are not followed.
NEVER reach through the
steering wheel for the Engine
Start/Stop button or any other
control while the vehicle is in
motion. The presence of your
hand or arm in this area may
cause a loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.

Driving your vehicle
Power Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted
brakes that adjust automatically
through normal usage.
If the vehicle is not in the ready
( ) mode or the vehicle is turned
off while driving, the power assist for
the brakes will not work. You can still
stop your vehicle by applying greater
force to the brake pedal than typical.
The stopping distance, however, will
be longer than with power brakes.
When the vehicle is not in the ready
( ) mode, the reserve brake
power is partially depleted each time
the brake pedal is applied. Do not
pump the brake pedal when the
power assist has been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when
necessary to maintain steering con-
trol on slippery surfaces.

Take the following precautions:
Do not drive with your foot
resting on the brake pedal.
This will create abnormal high
brake temperatures, exces-
sive brake lining and pad
wear, and increased stopping
distances.
When descending down a
long or steep hill, move the
gear shift lever to Manual
Shift Mode and manually
downshift to a lower gear in
order to control your speed
without using the brake pedal
excessively. Applying the
brakes continuously will
cause the brakes to overheat
and could result in a tempo-
rary loss of braking perform-
ance.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Wet brakes may impair the
vehicle's ability to safely slow
down; the vehicle may also
pull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Applying
the brakes lightly will indicate
whether they have been
affected in this way. Always
test your brakes in this fash-
ion after driving through deep
water. To dry the brakes, light-
ly tap the brake pedal to heat
up the brakes while maintain-
ing a safe forward speed until
brake performance returns to
normal. Avoid driving at high
speeds until the brakes func-
tion correctly.

Information
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the ABS
warning light ( ) may turn on at the
same time. This happens because of
the low battery voltage. It does not
mean your ABS is malfunctioning.
Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC)
The Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system helps to stabilize the
vehicle during cornering maneuvers.
ESC checks where you are steering
and where the vehicle is actually
going. ESC applies braking pressure
to any one of the vehicle's brakes
and intervenes in the engine man-
agement system to assist the driver
with keeping the vehicle on the
intended path. It is not a substitute
for safe driving practices. Always
adjust your speed and driving to the
road conditions.
i
When you drive on a road hav-
ing poor traction, such as an icy
road, and apply your brakes
continuously, the ABS will be
active continuously and the
ABS warning light ( ) may
illuminate. Pull your car over to
a safe place and turn the vehicle
off.
Restart the vehicle. If the ABS
warning light is off, then your
ABS system is normal.
Otherwise, you may have a
problem with your ABS system.
Contact an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.
CAUTION
If the ABS warning light ( ) is
on and stays on, you may have
a problem with the ABS. Your
power brakes will work normal-
ly. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, contact your
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.

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.The VSM does not operate when:
Driving on a banked road such
as gradient or incline.
Driving rearward.
ESC OFF indicator light is on.
EPS (Electric Power Steering)
warning light ( ) is on or
blinks.
Driving with wheels and tires with dif-
ferent sizes may cause the ESC sys-
tem to malfunction. Before replacing
tires, make sure all four tires and
wheels are the same size. Never
drive the vehicle with different sized
tires and wheels installed.
NOTICE
If ESC indicator light ( ) or
EPS warning light ( ) stays on
or blinks, your vehicle may have
a malfunction with the VSM sys-
tem.When the warning light illu-
minates, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
WARNING

5-51
Driving your vehicle
If you select 'Warning only' for the
system setting, FCA system acti-
vates and produces only warning
alarms in accordance with the col-
lision risk levels. You should control
the brake directly because FCA
system will not control the brake.
Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the braking
system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver's depressing the brake pedal.
FCA provides additional braking
power for optimum braking per-
formance, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal.
The braking control is automatical-
ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
FCA brake control is automatically
canceled, when risk factors disap-
pear.
5
The driver should always use
extreme caution while operat-
ing the vehicle, whether or not
there is a warning message or
alarm from FCA system.
After the brake control is acti-
vated, the driver must immedi-
ately depress the brake pedal
and check the surroundings.
The brake activation by the
system lasts for about 2 sec-
onds.
If any other warning sound
such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist system warning may
not sound.
Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may pre-
vent occupants from hearing
the system warning sounds.
CAUTION
The braking control cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor
avoid all collisions. The driver
should hold the responsibility
to safely drive and control the
vehicle.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system.
WARNING
FCA system logic operates
within certain parameters, such
as the distance from the vehi-
cle, ahead, the speed of the
vehicle ahead, and the driver's
vehicle speed. Certain condi-
tions such as inclement weath-
er and road conditions may
affect the operation of FCA sys-
tem.

If FCA detects a vehicle in front,
the system operates when your
vehicle speed is above 5 mph (8
km/h) and less than or equal to 110
mph (180 km/h). Maximum vehicle
speed may decrease depending
on the condition of the vehicle
ahead and surroundings.
If FCA detects a pedestrian or
cyclist in front, the system operates
when your vehicle speed is
between 5 mph (8 km/h) or above
and under 45 mph (70 km/h).
Maximum vehicle speed may
decrease depending on the condi-
tion of the pedestrian or cyclist
ahead and surroundings.

What to do in an emergency
The driver must be in the vehi-
cle for steering and braking
operations when the vehicle is
being towed. Passengers other
than the driver must not be in
the vehicle.
CAUTION
Emergency Towing
(if equipped)
If towing is necessary, we recom-
mend you to have it done by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
commercial tow truck service.If a towing service is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or
chain secured to the emergency tow-
ing hook at the rear of the vehicle.
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle with a cable or chain. A
driver must be in the vehicle to steer
it and operate the brakes.
Towing should be done only on a
solid ground for a short distance and
at a low speed.
Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be in
good condition.Always follow these emergency tow-
ing precautions:
Place the Engine Start/Stop button
in the ACC position so the steering
wheel is not locked.
Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
Release the parking brake.
Depress the brake pedal with more
force than normal since you will
have reduced braking performance.
More steering effort will be required
because the power steering system
will be disabled.
Use a vehicle heavier than your
own to tow your vehicle.
The drivers of both vehicles should
communicate with each other fre-
quently.
Before emergency towing, check
that the hook is not broken or dam-
aged.
Fasten the towing cable or chain
securely to the hook.
Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady
and even force.
