Electronic Stability Control
(ESC)
The Electronic Stability Control sys-
tem helps to stabilize the vehicle dur-
ing 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 inter-
venes in the engine management
system to assist the driver with keep-
ing 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.
ESC operation
ESC ON condition
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the ESC and the ESC OFF
indicator lights illuminate for approxi-
mately three seconds. After both
lights go off, the ESC is enabled.
When operating
When the ESC is in oper-
ation, the ESC indicator
light blinks:
• When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear sounds from
the brakes, or feel a corresponding
sensation in the brake pedal. This
is normal and it means your ESC is
active.
• When the ESC activates, the
engine may not respond to the
accelerator as it does under rou-
tine conditions.
• If the Smart Cruise Control was in
use when the ESC activates, the
Smart Cruise Control automatically
disengages. The Smart Cruise
Control can be reengaged when
the road conditions allow. See
"Smart Cruise Control System"
later in this chapter.
• When moving out of the mud or
driving on a slippery road, the
engine RPM (revolutions per
minute) may not increase even if
you press the accelerator pedal
deeply. This is to maintain the sta-
bility and traction of the vehicle and
does not indicate a problem.
OHI058037
Never drive too fast for the road
conditions when cornering. The
ESC system will not prevent
accidents.
Excessive speed in turns, abrupt
maneuvers, and hydroplaning
on wet surfaces can result in
severe accidents.
WARNING

Driving your vehicle
• Limitation of SMART mode
The SMART mode may be limited
in following situations. (The OFF
indicator illuminates in those situa-
tions.)
- The driver manually moves the
shift lever :
It deactivates SMART mode. The
vehicle drives, as the driver man-
ually 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 situ-
ations. However, an extremely
high/ low transmission oil temper-
ature may temporarily deactivate
the SMART mode, because the
transmission condition is out of
normal operation condition.
When Comfort(rear) is selected for
CUSTOM mode
The Comfort (rear) mode is a mode
that adjusts to minimize the discom-
fort of the rear passengers by provid-
ing a smooth and stable ride through
the adjustment of the suspension,
engine/transmission, and steering.
• To use Comfort(rear) mode, select
[Settings →Vehicle →Drive mode
→CUSTOM →POWER
TRAIN/STEERING/SUSPENSION
MODE →COMFORT] menu on
the navigation screen.

When certain conditions are met, the
engine is automatically decoupled
from the transmission while the shift
lever is remained in D (Drive). In this
Coasting mode, the engine stays at
idling speed to reduce fuel consump-
tion and increase coasting distance.
Coasting Setting
The Coasting function must be
turned ON from the Settings menu in
the AVN system screen. Select:
- Setup →Vehicle Settings →Drive
Mode →Coasting
For detailed information, scan the
QR code in a separately supplied
simple manual.
When Coasting is turned ON and the
conditions are met, the function
operates with a "Coasting" message
illuminated at the top center of the
instrument cluster.
• If the accelerator pedal is
pressed quickly for accelerating
with the Coasting function in
operation, acceleration may
occur after the engagement of
the clutch inside the transmis-
sion. In turn, the driver may con-
tinue to feel acceleration even
after the system is turned off.
• Driving with the Coasting func-
tion off may be required in some
cases since the engine brake is
not applied while the Coasting
function is in operation.
• Operating the AVN system
screen to activate or deactivate
the Coasting function while driv-
ing may be dangerous as the dri-
ver's attention is dispersed.
Coasting Operating
Conditions
The Coasting function will operate
when the accelerator pedal is
depressed and released under the
following conditions.
• The driving mode is ECO mode.
• SMART is selected for Engine/
Transmission in CUSTOM mode
from the AVN system screen and
driver acceleration is SMART ECO
• ECO is selected for Engine/
Transmission in CUSTOM mode
from the AVN system screen
• The shift lever is in D (Drive)
• The Smart Cruise Control button is
OFF
• The accelerator or brake pedal is
not depressed
• The vehicle's speed is within
35–100 mph (55–160 km/h) range
• The road gradient is within -5~+5%
range
• In SMART mode, if the distance
between the vehicle ahead and the
relative speed is within a certain
range
Information
• If the front radar for smart cruise
control system cannot operate nor-
mally, the inter-vehicle distance and
relative speed condition are auto-
matically ignored.
• The Coasting function works after
the engine is turned on, the trans-
mission is warmed up, and the
engine sensor self-diagnosis is com-
pleted after starting.
• Depending on the driving situation,
Coasting operation may be tem-
porarily delayed even if the above
conditions are met.

is turned ON or a LKA warning
appears due to steering wheel
control, etc.)
Information
It is recommended to turn off the
Coasting function if you are driving
under frequently stop-and-go condi-
tion. Change the Drive Mode to COM-
FORT or SPORT mode or deselect
