Good Driving Practices
Never shift to P (Park) or N(Neutral) to any other position with
the accelerator pedal depressed.
Never shift to P (Park) when the vehicle is in motion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
Do not shift to N (Neutral) when driving. Doing so may result in anaccident.
Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. Even light, butconsistent pedal pressure can
result in the brakes overheating,
brake wear and possibly even
brake failure.
Alway apply the parking brake when parked on a sloped driveway
or hill when leaving the vehicle. Donot depend on placing the gear in
P (Park) to keep the vehicle from
moving. Exercise extreme caution when
driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. Also,
avoid increasing the regenerative
braking level suddenly. On a slip-
pery surface, an abrupt change in
vehicle speed can cause the drive
wheels to lose traction and may
cause loss of vehicle control result-ing in an accident
Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothlydepressing and releasing the
accelerator.
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
ALWAYS wear your seat belt.
In a collision, an unbelted
occupant is significantly more
likely to be seriously injured
or killed than a properly belt-ed occupant.
Avoid high speeds when cor- nering or turning. (Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
Do not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,sharp turns.
The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control
of your vehicle at highwayspeeds.
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.
HYUNDAI recommends you
follow all posted speed limits.

Driving your vehicle
The paddle shifter is used to adjust
the regenerative braking rate from 0
to 3 during decelerating or braking.
Left side ( ): Increases regener-ative braking and deceleration.
Right side ( ): Decreases regenerative braking and decelera- tion.
Pull and hold the left side paddle shifter to change to 0.
Pull and hold the left side paddle shifter to change to 3. Information
The paddle shifter does not operate
when:
 Both Paddle shifters are pulled at the same time.
 The Cruise Control system or Smart Cruise Control system is activated.
 The vehicle is shifted to P (Park), R(Reverse) and N (Neutral).
The selected regenerative braking
rate is displayed on the instrument
cluster.
What Does RegenerativeBraking Do?
It uses the electric motor when
decelerating or braking which trans-
forms vehicle motion (kinetic energy)
to electrical energy to charge the
high voltage batteries.

The Smart Regeneration System
controls the regenerative brakingautomatically according to the road
gradient and driving condition of the
vehicle in front. The system mini-
mizes the unnecessary operation of
the brake and acceleration pedal,
improving the fuel efficiency and
assisting the driver.
System Setting
The Smart Regeneration System is
enabled when:
The gear is in P (Park) and select 'User settings
Convenience
Smart Regeneration' on the User
Settings mode. The setting is maintained when the
vehicle is restarted.
Activating the Smart
Regeneration System
With 'AUTO' for the regenerative
braking level displayed on the clus-
ter, the regenerative braking level is
controlled automatically when vehi-
cle speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h)
and one of the condition below ismet.
- The road gradient changes
- Distance from the vehicle ahead reduces or increases
- Speed of the vehicle ahead reduces or increases When the system is turned on from
the User Settings mode, but the front
radar doesn't recognize the vehicle
in front, 'AUTO' is displayed in white.

OAEE049671L The Smart Regeneration
System which automatically
controls the regenerative brak-
ing level when coasting is only
a supplemental system for the
driver's convenience. The sys-
tem cannot completely stop the
vehicle nor avoid all collisions.
The brake control may be insuf-ficient depending on the speed
of the vehicle in front and when
the vehicle in front suddenly
stops, a vehicle cuts in sudden-
ly or there is a steep slope.
Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occurring.

Vehicle-to-Vehicle Front
Recognition - Front RadarSensor
In order for the Smart Regeneration
System to operate properly, always
make sure the radar sensor cover is
clean and free of dirt, snow, and
debris. Dirt, snow, or foreign sub-
stances on the lens may adversely
affect the sensing performance of
the sensor. In this case, the system
operation may stop temporarily and
not operate normally.
Driving your vehicle

Do not apply license plate
frame or foreign objects such
as a bumper sticker or a
bumper guard near the radar
sensor. Doing so may adverse-
ly affect the sensing perform-
ance of the radar.
Always keep the radar sensor
and lens cover clean and free
of dirt and debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash
the vehicle. Do not spray pres-
surized water directly on the
sensor or sensor cover.
Be careful not to apply unnec-
essary force on the radar sen-
sor or sensor cover. If the sen-
sor is forcibly moved out of
proper alignment, the Smart
Regeneration System may not
operate correctly. In this case,
a warning message may not
be displayed. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
If the front bumper becomes
damaged in the area around
the radar sensor, the Smart
Regeneration System may not
operate properly. Have the
vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only genuine HYUNDAI
parts to repair or replace a
damaged sensor or sensor
cover. Do not apply paint to
the sensor cover.
CAUTION
When the Smart Regeneration System is cancelled automati-
cally, adjust the vehicle speed
directly by depressing theaccelerator or brake pedal
according to the road conditionahead and driving condition.

Warning Message
Check Smart Regeneration System
The message will appear when the
system is not functioning normally.
The system will be disabled and the
"AUTO" indicator in the LCD display
will be turned off. Check for foreign
substances on the front radar.
Remove any dirt, snow, or foreign
material that could interfere with the
radar sensors. If the system still does
not operate normally, take your vehi-
cle to an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er and have the system checked.
Limitations of the System
The Smart Regeneration System
may not operate properly in certain
situations when the driving condition
is beyond the performance of the
front radar sensor.
Driver's attention is required in such cases when the system does not
react properly or operate uninten-
tionally.
On curves
When coasting on the curve, the sys-
tem may not detect the vehicle in
your lane and the regenerative brak-
ing level will reduce automatically,
making you feel that the vehicle is
accelerating.
Also, if the system suddenly recog-
nizes the vehicle in front, the regen-
erative braking level will increase
automatically, making you feel that
the vehicle is decelerating.
The driver must maintain a safe brak-
ing distance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to main-
tain a safe distance.5
OOSEV048204NOAD058165L

5-22
Your vehicle speed can be reduced
due to a vehicle in the adjacent lane.
Apply the accelerator pedal and
select the appropriate speed. Checkto be sure that the road conditions
permit safe operation of the Smart
Regeneration System.
On inclines
When coasting on an uphill or down-
hill, the system may not detect the
vehicle in your lane and the regener-
ative braking level will reduce auto-
matically, making you feel that the
vehicle is accelerating.
Also, if the system suddenly recog-
nizes the vehicle in front, the regen-
erative braking level will increase
automatically, making you feel that
the vehicle is decelerating.
The driver must maintain a safe brak-
ing distance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to main-
tain a safe distance.
Lane changing
A vehicle which moves into your
lane from an adjacent lane cannot
be recognized by the sensor until it
is in the sensor's detection range.
The radar may not detect immedi- ately when a vehicle cuts in sud-
denly. Always pay attention to the
traffic, road and driving conditions.
