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.Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
The Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
helps prevent the vehicle from rolling
backwards when starting a vehicle
from a stop on a hill. The system
operates the brakes automatically for
approximately 2 seconds and releas-
es the brake after 2 seconds or when
the accelerator pedal is depressed.
The HAC does not operate whenthe vehicle is shifted to P (Park)
or N (Neutral)
The HAC activates even though the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is off but does not acti-
vate when the ESC has malfunc-
tioned.
Downhill Brake Control (DBC)
(if equipped)
The Downhill Brake Control (DBC)
feature assists the driver to descend
down a steep hill without having to
depress the brake pedal.
The system automatically applies the
brakes to maintain the vehicle speed
below a certain speed and allows the
driver to concentrate on steering the
vehicle down hill.
The DBC defaults to the off position
whenever the ignition switch is
placed to the ON position. Press the
button to activate the system and
press the button again to deactivate.
NOTICE
Always be ready to depress the
accelerator pedal when starting
off on an incline. The HAC acti-
vates only for approximately 2
seconds.
WARNING
OLX2058017
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
possible.
WARNING
5-46
Driving your vehicle
Driving up or down hills
Driving uphill - Before starting off, check if it ispossible to drive uphill.
- Drive as straight as possible.
Driving downhill - Do not change gear while drivingdownhill. Select gear before driv-
ing downhill.
- Drive slowly using engine braking while driving downhill.
- Drive straight as possible.
Driving through water
Try to avoid driving in deep stand- ing water. It may stall your engine
and clog your exhaust system.
If you need to drive in water, stop your vehicle, set the vehicle in
AWD LOCK mode and drive under
5 mph (8 km/h).
Do not change gear while driving in water.
Exercise extreme caution when
driving up or down steep hills.
The vehicle may flip over
depending on the grade, the ter-
rain, and the trail conditions.WARNING
Do not drive across the contour
of steep hills. A slight change in
the wheel angle can destabilize
the vehicle, or a stable vehicle
may lose stability if the vehicle
stops its forward motion. Your
vehicle may roll over and lead to
a serious injury or death.
WARNING
Always drive slowly in water. If
you drive too fast, water may
get into the engine compart-
ment and wet the ignition sys-
tem causing your vehicle to
suddenly stop.
CAUTION

Driving your vehicle
If the vehicle continues to be driven and the automatic transmission
temperatures reach the maximum
temperature limit, the "Transmission
hot! Park with engine On" warning
will be displayed. When this occurs
the automatic transmission is dis-
abled until the automatic transmis-
sion cools to normal temperatures.
The warning will display a time to wait for the transmission to cool.
If this occurs, pull over to a safe location, stop the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the brakes
and shift the vehicle to P (Park),
and allow the transmission to cool.
When the message "Transmission cooled down. Resume driving"
appears you can continue to drive
your vehicle.
When possible, drive the vehicle smoothly.
Emergency Precautions
Tires
Do not use a tire and wheel package
with a different size and type from
the one originally installed on your
vehicle. It can affect the safety and
performance of your vehicle, which
could lead to steering failure or
rollover causing serious injury.
When replacing the tires, be sure to
equip all four tires with the tire and
wheel of the same size, type, tread,
brand and load-carrying capacity. If
you equip your vehicle with any
tire/wheel combination not recom-
mended by HYUNDAI for off-road
driving, you should not use these
tires for highway driving.
Towing
AWD vehicles must be towed with a
wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equip-
ment with all the wheels off the
ground. For more details, refer to
"Towing" in chapter 6.
Dynamometer testing
A full-time AWD vehicle must be test-
ed on a special four wheel chassis
dynamometer.
Never start or run the engine
while a full-time AWD vehicle is
raised on a jack. The vehicle can
slip or roll off of a jack causing
serious injury or death to you or
those nearby.
WARNING

Driving your vehicle
The Idle Stop and Go (ISG) system
automatically and temporarily shuts
down the engine when the vehicle is
stopped and idling to improve fuel
efficiency and reduce exhaust gas
emissions. (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 hood are closed.
- The brake vacuum pressure is adequate.
- The battery is sufficiently charged.
- The outside temperature is between 14 °F and 95 °F (-10 °C and 35 °C).
- The engine coolant temperature is not too low.
- The system is not in the diagnostic mode.
- The incline is gradual.
- Steering wheel is turned less than 180 degrees
- Shift lever is in DRIVE or NEU- TRAL
Information
The ISG system is
not activated, when
the prerequisites to
activate the ISG sys-
tem are unsatisfied.
In this case, the ISG
OFF button indicator illuminates,
and the auto stop indicator ( )
illuminates in yellow on the instru-
ment cluster.
• When the above indicator remains illuminated on the instrument clus-
ter, we recommend that you have
the IGS system checked by an
