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 an
accident.
Driving uphill or downhill, always
shift to D (Drive) when driving for-
ward or to R (Reverse) when driv-
ing backwards, and check the gear
position indicated on the cluster
before driving. If you drive in the
opposite direction of the selected
gear, the vehicle will turn off and a
serious accident might be occurred
due to the degraded brake per-
formance.
Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. Even light, but
consistent pedal pressure can
result in the brakes overheating,
brake wear and possibly even
brake failure.

5-18
Driving your vehicle
Always apply the parking brake
when leaving the vehicle. Do not
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. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident
Optimum vehicle performance and
economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing 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.
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 highway
speeds.
WARNING 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.

Paddle Shifter Operation
The paddle shifter is used to adjust
the regenerative braking level from 0
to 3 during decelerating or braking.
Left side ( ): Increases regener-
ative braking and deceleration.
Right side ( ): Decreases
regenerative braking and decelera-
tion. One Pedal Driving - If the left side
paddle shifter is held for more than
0.5 second when coasting, the
One Pedal Driving feature is
enabled. This function increases
the regenerative braking effort to a
maximum. Holding the paddle
shifter will enable the vehicle to
come to a complete stop without
applying the foot pedal braking.
Refer to the following pages on
"One Pedal Driving".Information
The paddle shifter does not operate
when:
• The [ ] and [ ] paddle
shifters are pulled at the same time.
• The vehicle is decelerating by
depressing the brake pedal.
• The Cruise Control system or Smart
Cruise Control system is activated.The selected regenerative braking
level is displayed on the instrument
cluster.

ciency 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

cle speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h)
and one of the condition below is
met.
- The road gradient changes
- Distance from the vehicle ahead
reduces or increases
- Speed of the vehicle ahead
reduces or increases
