ELECTRONIC CONTROL SUSPENSION (ECS)
The Electronic Control Suspension
(ECS) controls the vehicle suspension
automatically to maximize driving
comfort by taking into account the
driving conditions such as speed,
surface of the road, cornering, stopping
requirements and acceleration.

N mode
N mode selects the proper
driving mode among SPORT
and SPORT+ for each
components that will effect
the performance of a high-
performance vehicle.
• When N mode is selected, the N indicator will illuminate.
• N mode (SPORT/SPORT+) manages the driving dynamics by automatically
adjusting the steering effort, and the
engine and transmission control logic
for enhanced driver performance.
• When N mode (SPORT/SPORT+) is activated:
- The engine RPM will tend to remain raised over a certain length of time
even after releasing the accelerator
- Upshifts are delayed when accelerating
Information
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency may
decrease.
CUSTOM mode
The driver can set the two
types of CUSTOM mode
(CUSTOM 1/CUSTOM 2). In
CUSTOM mode, they can
select the drive mode for each
component they prefer on the
infotainment system screen.
• Engine : NORMAL/SPORT/ SPORT+
• Transmission : NORMAL/SPORT/ SPORT+ (For DCT)
- CREEP START function*1 ON/OFF
• E-LSD (Electronic Limited Slip Differential) : NORMAL/SPORT
• Suspension : NORMAL/SPORT/ SPORT+
• Steering : NORMAL/SPORT/ SPORT+
• ESC (Electronic Stability Control) : NORMAL/SPORT/OFF
• Exhaust sound : NORMAL/ SPORT/ SPORT+
*1 CREEP START function (default setting

An exhaust crackle sound, to deliver emotional effect, is produced while driving
when the accelerator pedal is released right after being depressed. This exhaust
sound effect will be heard when SPORT+ is selected for the Sound component. To
urn it off, select NORMAL or SPORT for the Engine component in CUSTOM mode.
Please be aware and be mindful when using exhaust sound system in SPORT+ mode
as the pops and bangs can cause disturbance to your neighbors when using it in
a crowded public area, closed parking spaces, and/or residential area.We strongly
recommend to use it with consideration.

Chain Installation
When installing AutoSock (fabric snow
chain
), follow the manufacturer’s
instructions and mount them as tightly
as possible. Drive slowly (less than 20
mph (30 km/h)) with chains installed. If
you hear the chains contacting the body
or chassis, stop and tighten them. If they
still make contact, slow down until the
noise stops. Remove the AutoSock(fabric
snow chain) as soon as you begin
driving on cleared roads.When mounting
AutoSock (fabric snow chain), park the
vehicle on level ground away from traffic.
Turn on the vehicle Hazard Warning
Flasher and place a triangular emergency
warning device behind the vehicle (if
available).Always place the vehicle in
P (Park), apply the parking brake and
turn off the engine before installing tire
chains.
NOTICE
When using AutoSock (fabric snow
chain):
• Wrong size chains or improperly
installed chains can damage your
vehicle's brake lines, suspension,
body and wheels.
• If you hear noise caused by chains
contacting the body, retighten the
chain to prevent contact with the
vehicle body.
• To prevent body damage, retighten
the chains after driving 0.3-0.6 miles
(0.5-1.0 km).
Winter Precautions
Use high quality ethylene glycol
coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high
quality ethylene glycol coolant in the
cooling system. It is the only type of
coolant that should be used because it
helps prevent corrosion in the cooling
system, lubricates the water pump and
prevents freezing. Be sure to replace or
replenish your coolant in accordance
with the maintenance schedule in
chapter 8. Before winter, have your
coolant tested to assure that its freezing
point is sufficient for the temperatures
anticipated during the winter.
Change to "winter weight" oil if
necessary
In some climates it is recommended that
a lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be
used during cold weather. See chapter 8
for recommendations. If you aren't sure
what weight oil you should use, consult
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Check battery and cables
Winter puts additional burdens on the
battery system. Visually inspect the
battery and cables as described in
chapter 8. The level of charge in your
battery can be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer or a service station.
Check spark plugs and ignition
system
Inspect your spark plugs as described in
chapter 8 and replace them if necessary.
Also check all ignition wiring and
components to be sure they are not
cracked, worn or damaged in any way.

Emergency Situations8-22
TOWING
Towing Service
OCN7N081095LOCN7N081095LIf emergency towing is necessary, have it
done by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
or a commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing procedures
are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies or
flatbed is recommended.
It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with
the rear wheels on the ground (without
dollies) and the front wheels off the
ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or suspension
components are damaged or the vehicle
is being towed with the front wheels on
the ground, use a towing dolly under the
front wheels.
When being towed by a commercial tow
truck and wheel dollies are not used,
the front of the vehicle should always be
lifted, not the rear.
CAUTION
• Do not tow the vehicle with the front
wheels on the ground as this may
cause damage to the vehicle.
OCN7N081097LOCN7N081097L
• Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use a wheel lift or
flatbed equipment.
OCN7N081096LOCN7N081096L
• Do not tow the vehicle with four
wheels in contact with the ground if
it is the vehicle equipped with dual
clutch transmission.
Otherwise, the transmission will be
seriously damaged. Also, make sure
not to tow the vehicle connecting it
with other vehicles including camper
vans.
