Vehicle Stability Management
(if equipped)
Vehicle Stability Management (VSM)
helps ensure the vehicle stays stable
when accelerating or braking sud-
denly on wet, slippery and rough
roads where traction over the four
tyres can suddenly become uneven.
VSM operation
VSM ON condition
The VSM operates when:
The Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) is on.
Vehicle speed is approximately
above 15 km/h (9 mph) on curve
roads.
Vehicle speed is approximately
above 20 km/h (12 mph) 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.
Information
The VSM does not operate when:
• Driving on bank road such as gradi-
ent or incline
• Driving in reverse.
• The ESC OFF indicator light is on.
• The EPS (Electronic Power Steering)
warning light ( ) is on.
VSM OFF condition
To cancel the VSM operation, press
the ESC OFF button. ESC OFF indi-
cator light ( ) will illuminate.
To turn on VSM, press the ESC OFF
button again. The ESC OFF indicator
light will go out.
Driving with varying tyre or wheel
sizes may cause the ESC system
to malfunction. When replacing
tyres, make sure they are the
same size as your original tyres
for this vehicle.
NOTICEi
Take the following precautions
when using the Vehicle Stability
Management (VSM):
ALWAYS check the speed and
the distance to the vehicle
ahead. The VSM is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving prac-
tices.
Never drive too fast for the
road conditions. The VSM sys-
tem will not prevent acci-
dents. Excessive speed in bad
weather, slippery and uneven
roads can result in severe
accidents.
WARNING
If the ESC indicator light ( ) or
EPS warning light ( ) stays
on, your vehicle may have a
malfunction with the VSM sys-
tem. When the warning light illu-
minates we recommend that the
vehicle be checked by an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.
WARNING

Driving your vehicle
Good braking practices
Wet brakes can be dangerous! The
brakes may get wet if the vehicle is
driven through standing water or if it
is washed. Your vehicle will not stop
as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet
brakes may cause the vehicle to pull
to one side.To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns
to normal, taking care to keep the
vehicle under control at all times. If
the braking action does not return to
normal, stop as soon as it is safe to
do so and we recommend that you
call an authorised HYUNDAI dealer
for assistance.
DO NOT drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. Even light, but
constant pedal pressure can result in
the brakes overheating, brake wear,
and possibly even brake failure.
If a tyre goes flat whilst you are driv-
ing, apply the brakes gently and
keep the vehicle pointed straight
ahead whilst you slow down. When
you are moving slowly enough for it
to be safe to do so, pull off the road
and stop in a safe location.
Keep your foot firmly on the brake
pedal when the vehicle is stopped to
prevent the vehicle from rolling for-
ward.
The Four Wheel Drive (4WD)
System delivers engine power to all
front and rear wheels for maximum
traction. Whenever leaving the vehicle or
parking, always come to a com-
plete stop and continue to
depress the brake pedal. Move
the shift lever into P (Park) posi-
tion, apply the parking brake,
and place the Engine Start/Stop
button in the OFF position.
Vehicles without the parking
brake fully engaged are at risk
of moving inadvertently and
causing injury to yourself or
others.

4WD is useful when extra traction is
required on roads such slippery,
muddy, wet, or snow-covered roads.
Occasional off-road use such as
established unpaved roads and trails
are OK. It is always important that
the driver carefully reduces the
speed to a level that does not exceed
the safe operating speed for those
conditions. Do not drive in water if the level
is higher than the bottom of the
vehicle.
Check your brake condition
once you are out of mud or
water. Depress the brake pedal
several times as you move slow-
ly until you feel normal braking
return.
Shorten your scheduled mainte-
nance interval if you drive in off-
road conditions such as sand,
mud or water (see "Maintenance
Under Severe Usage Conditions"
in chapter 7).
Always wash your vehicle thor-
oughly after off road use, espe-
cially the bottom of the vehicle.
Be sure to equip the vehicle with
four tyres and wheels of the
same size and type.
Make sure that if a full-time 4WD
vehicle requires towing, it is
towed by a flat bed tow truck.NOTICE
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
Do not drive in conditions that
exceed the vehicle's intended
design such as challenging
off-road conditions.
Avoid high speeds when cor-
nering or turning.
Do not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,
sharp turns.
The risk of a rollover is great-
ly increased if you lose con-
trol 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.

4WD operation
The main goal of 4WD Lock mode is to allow a driver to maximise the
vehicle’s traction under extreme driving conditions such as unpaved
off-road, sandy roads, and muddy roads.
4WD Lock mode is in operation only when a vehicle travels at 60 km/h
or less. When travelling at 60 km/h or faster, the mode will switch to
4WD Auto.
When 4WD Lock mode illuminates, the cluster does not display the
front/rear wheel traction force distribution status.
Press the 4WD Lock mode switch again to switch back to 4WD Auto.
4WD AUTO
(4WD LOCK is
deactivated)
(not illuminated)
Transfer mode Selection button Indicator light Description
4WD Auto is used when driving on roads in normal conditions, roads
in urban areas, and on highways.
All wheels are in operation when a vehicle travels at a constant speed.
Required tractions applying on front and rear wheels vary depending
on road driving conditions and driving conditions, which will be auto-
matically controlled by the computing system.
When the cluster's 4WD Auto display mode is selected, the cluster
displays the status of how four wheels’ traction forces are distributed.

If the 4WD warning light ( ) stays on the instrument cluster, your vehicle may have a malfunction with the
4WD system. When the 4WD warning light ( ) illuminates we recommend that the vehicle be checked by
an authorised HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.

A full-time 4WD vehicle should not
be tested on a 2WD roll tester. If a
2WD roll tester must be used, per-
form the following procedure:
1.Check the tyre pressures recom-
mended for your vehicle.
2.Place the front wheels on the roll
tester for a speedometer test as
shown in the illustration.
3.Release the parking brake.
4.Place the rear wheels on the tem-
porary free roller as shown in the
illustration.
Reducing the risk of a rollover
This multi-purpose passenger vehi-
cle is defined as a Sports Utility
Vehicle (SUV). SUV’s have higher
ground clearance and a narrower
track to make them capable of per-
forming in a wide variety of off-road
applications. Specific design charac-
teristics give them a higher centre of
gravity than ordinary vehicles. An
advantage of the higher ground
clearance is a better view of the
road, which allows you to anticipate
problems. They are not designed for
cornering at the same speeds as
conventional passenger vehicles,
any more than low-slung sports cars
are designed to perform satisfactori-
ly in off-road conditions. Due to this
risk, driver and passengers are
strongly recommended to fasten
their seat belts. In a rollover crash,
an unrestrained person is more likely
to die than a person wearing a seat
belt. There are steps that a driver can
take to reduce the risk of a rollover. If
at all possible, avoid sharp turns or
abrupt manoeuvres, do not load your
roof rack with heavy luggage com-
partment, and never modify your
vehicle in any way.
OTLE058117Roll Tester (Speedometer)
Temporary Free Roller
Never engage the parking
brake whilst performing the
test.
When the vehicle is lifted up,
do not operate the front and
rear wheel separately. All four
wheels should be operated.
CAUTION
Keep away from the front of the
vehicle whilst the vehicle is in
gear on the dynamometer. The
vehicle can jump forward and
cause serious injury or death.
