To prevent damage to the trans-
mission:
Do not allow wheel(s) of one
axle to spin excessively while
the ESC, ABS, and parking brake
warning lights are displayed.
The repairs would not be cov-
ered by the vehicle warranty.
Reduce engine power and do
not spin the wheel(s) excessive-
ly while these lights are dis-
played.
When operating the vehicle on a
dynamometer, make sure the
ESC is turned off (ESC OFF light
illuminated).
Information
Turning the ESC off does not affect
ABS or standard brake system opera-
tion.
Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM)
The Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM) is a function of the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system. It
helps ensure the vehicle stays stable
when accelerating or braking sud-
denly on wet, slippery and rough
roads where traction over the four
tires 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 9 mph (15 km/h) on curve
roads.
Vehicle speed is approximately
above 12 mph (20 km/h) 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.
i
NOTICE
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.

Driving your vehicle
The drive mode may be selected
according to the driver's preference
or road condition.
The system resets to be in the NOR-
MAL mode, when the engine is
restarted.
Information
If there is a problem with the instru-
ment cluster, the drive mode will be in
NORMAL mode and may not change
to SPORT mode. The mode changes, as below, when-
ever the DRIVE MODE button is
pressed.
NORMAL mode
In NORMAL mode the engine and
transmission control logic work
together to provide regular daily driv-
ing performance with some fuel effi-
ciency.
When NORMAL mode is selected,
it is not displayed on the instrument
cluster.
SPORT mode
SPORT mode manages
the driving dynamics by
automatically adjusting the
steering effort, and the
engine and transmission control
logic for enhanced driving perform-
ance.
When SPORT mode is selected by
pressing the DRIVE MODE button,
the SPORT indicator will illuminate.
Whenever the engine is restarted,
the Drive Mode will revert back to
NORMAL mode. If SPORT mode is
desired, re-select SPORT mode
from the DRIVE MODE button.
When SPORT mode is activated:
- The engine rpm will tend to
remain raised over a certain
length of time even after releas-
ing the accelerator
- Upshifts are delayed when accel-
erating
Information
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency
may decrease.

Driving your vehicle
The warning light illumi-
nates on the LCD display,
when you cancel FCA.
The driver can monitor
FCA ON/OFF status on the LCD dis-
play. Also, the warning light illumi-
nates when ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is turned off.
If the warning light remains ON when
FCA is activated, have the system
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time on the LCD dis-
play.
Go to the 'User Settings →Driving
Assist →Forward Collision-avoid-
ance Assist→Late/Normal/Early'.The options for the initial Forward
Collision-avoidance Assist includes
the following:
- Early :
When this condition is selected, the
initial Forward Collision-avoidance
Assist is activated earlier. This set-
ting maximizes the amount of dis-
tance between the vehicle ahead
before the initial warning occurs.
If the 'Early' condition feels too sen-
sitive, select 'Normal' condition.
Even though, 'Early' is selected if the
front vehicle suddenly stops the ini-
tial warning activation time may not
seem fast.
- Normal :
When this condition is selected, the
initial Forward Collision-avoidance
Assist is activated normally. This set-
ting allows for a nominal amount of
distance between the vehicle ahead
before the initial warning occurs.- Late :
When this condition is selected, the
initial Forward Collision-avoidance
Assist is activated later than normal.
This setting reduces the amount of
distance between the vehicle ahead
before the initial warning occurs.
Select 'Late' when traffic is light and
when driving speed is slow.
Prerequisite for activation
FCA is on and ready when FCA is
selected on the LCD display and
when the following prerequisites are
satisfied:
- ESC (Electronic Stability Control)
is on.
- Driving speed exceeds approxi-
mately 6 mph (10 km/h). (FCA
is only activated within a certain
speed range.)
- When FCA recognizes a vehicle in
front. (FCA may not recognize
every obstacle or provide warnings
and braking in every situation, so
do not rely on FCA to stop the vehi-
cle in instances where the driver
sees an obstacle and has the abil-
ity to apply the brakes).

FCA Warning Message and
System Control
FCA produces warning messages,
warning alarms, and emergency
braking based on the level of risk of
a frontal collision, such as when a
vehicle ahead suddenly brakes,
when there is no following distance
from the vehicle in front.
Collision Warning (1stwarning)
This initial warning message appears
on the LCD display with a warning
chime.
Completely stop the vehicle
on a safe location before
operating the switch on the
steering wheel to activate
/deactivate FCA.
FCA automatically activates
upon placing the ignition
switch to the ON position. The
driver can deactivate FCA by
canceling the system setting
on the LCD display.
FCA automatically deacti-
vates upon canceling ESC
(Electronic Stability Control).
When ESC is canceled, FCA
cannot be activated on the
LCD display. In this case, the
FCA warning light will illumi-
nate, but it does not indicate a
malfunction.

Collision Warning (2ndwarning)
The warning message appears on
the LCD display with the warning
alarms.
The vehicle will reduce its speed to
a certain limit.
- The brake activates gradually for
vehicles ahead.
- The brake control activates within
an arranged limit to ease the
impact from a collision.
Emergency Braking
(3rdwarning)
The warning message appears on
the LCD display with the warning
alarms.
The vehicle will reduce its speed to
a certain limit.
- The brake control activates within
an arranged limit to ease the
impact from a collision. Maximum
brake control is activated just
before the collision.
Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the braking
system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver’s depressing the brake pedal.
FCA provides additional braking
power for optimum braking per-
formance, when the driver depress-
es the brake pedal.
The braking control is automatical-
ly deactivated when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
FCA braking control is automatical-
ly canceled when risk factors dis-
appear.

The driver should always use
extreme caution while operating
the vehicle, whether or not there
is a warning message or alarm
from FCA.

FCA Sensor
In order for FCA to operate properly,
always make sure the sensor cover
or sensor is clean and free of dirt,
snow, and debris. Dirt, snow, or for-
eign substances on the sensor cover
or sensor may adversely affect the
sensing performance of the sensor. Do not apply a license plate
frame or foreign objects such as
a bumper sticker or a bumper
guard or number plate molding
near the radar sensor. Doing so
may adversely affect the sens-
ing performance of the radar.
Always keep the radar sensor
and cover clean and free of dirt
and debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash the
vehicle. Do not spray pressur-
ized water directly on the sensor
or sensor cover.
Be careful not to apply unneces-
sary force on the radar sensor or
sensor cover. If the sensor is
forcibly moved out of proper
alignment, FCA may not operate
correctly. In this case, a warning
message may not be displayed.
Have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)
NOTICE
FCA logic operates within cer-
tain parameters, such as the
distance from the vehicle, the
speed of the vehicle ahead, and
the driver's vehicle speed.
Certain conditions such as
inclement weather and road
conditions may affect the oper-
ation of FCA.
WARNING
FCA braking control cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor
avoid all collisions. The driver is
responsible for driving safely
and controlling the vehicle.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system.
