Disc Brakes Wear Indicator
When your brake pads are worn and
new pads are required, you will hear
a high pitched warning sound from
your front or rear brakes. You may
hear this sound come and go or it
may occur whenever you depress
the brake pedal.
Note that some driving conditions or
climates may cause a brake squeal
when you first apply (or lightly apply)
the brakes. This is normal and does
not indicate a problem with your
brakes.
To avoid costly brake repairs, do
not continue to drive with worn
brake pads.
Information

plete front or rear axle sets.

may have malfunctioned.
If this occurs, have the system
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.The EPB malfunction indicator may
illuminate when the ESC indicator
comes on to indicate that the ESC is
not working properly, but it does not
indicate a malfunction of the EPB.
If the EPB warning light is still

Driving downhill - Do not change gear while drivingdownhill. Select gear before driv-
ing downhill.
- Drive slowly using engine brak- ing 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.

OLMB053017
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.

SMART mode
SMART mode selects the
proper driving mode
between NORMAL and
SPORT by judging the driver's driv-
ing habits (i.e. Economical or
Aggressive) from the brake pedal
depression or the steering wheel
operation.
Press the DRIVE MODE button to select SMART mode. When
SMART mode is activated, the
indicator illuminates on the instru-
ment cluster.
Vehicle's equipped with a supervi- sion cluster the indicator illumi-
nates in green, when the driver's
driving is categorized to be eco-
nomical. It illuminates in white,
when the driver's driving is catego-
rized to be normal. It illuminates in
yellow, when the driver's driving is
categorized to be sportive during
abrupt braking or sharp curving.
Whenever the engine is restarted, the drive mode will revert back to
NORMAL mode. If SMART mode
is desired, re-select SMART mode. SMART mode automatically con-
trols gear shifting patterns, engine
torque, in accordance with the dri-
ver's driving habits.
Information
When you dynamically drive the vehi-
cle in SMART mode by abruptly
decelerating or sharply turning 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 automaticallychanges 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 braking performance, even when
you release the accelerator pedal
in SMART SPORT mode. It is
because your vehicle remains in
lower gear over a certain period of
time for next acceleration. Thus, it
is a normal driving situation, not
indicating any malfunction.
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
in SMART NORMAL 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 theshift lever :
It deactivates SMART mode. The
vehicle drives, as the driver manu-
ally moves the shift lever.
The cruise control is activated : The cruise control system may
deactivate the SMART mode when
the vehicle is controlled by the set
speed of the smart cruise control
system. (SMART mode is not
deactivated just by activating the
cruise control system.) The transmission oil temperature is
either extremely low or extremely
high :
The SMART mode can be active in
most of the normal driving situa-
tions. However, an extremely high/
low transmission oil temperature
may temporarily deactivate the
SMART mode, because the trans-
mission condition is out of normal
operation condition.
Smart Shift in Trip Computer
mode
Select the Trip Computer mode ( )
on the instrument cluster LCD display
and move to the smart shift screen.
Then, the driver can see the drive
mode selected and the drive mode

er (1) and the driving style gauge (2)
showing the driver's driving style are
displayed on the screen.
