Driving Your Vehicle6-20
• For smooth launch uphill, press down the accelerator pedal smoothly
depending on the current conditions.
• If you release your foot from the accelerator pedal at low vehicle
speed, you may feel strong engine
brake, which is similar to manual
transmission.
• When driving downhill, you may use Manual Mode to downshift to a
lower gear in order to control your
speed without using the brake pedal
excessively.
• When you turn the engine on and off, you may hear clicking sounds as the
system goes through a self test. This
is a normal sound for the Dual clutch
transmission.
WARNING
Due to transmission failure, you may
not continue to drive and the position
indicator (D, R) on the cluster will blink.
We recommend you to contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and have
the system checked.

OCN7N061225LOCN7N061225L
• Select trip computer mode on the LCD display and move to the
transmission temperature screen to
see the temperature of the dual clutch
transmission.
• Try to drive so that the temperature gauge do not show high/overheat.
When the transmission is overheated,
the warning message will display
on the LCD. Follow the displayed
message.
• The transmission temperature is displayed in three colors (white,
orange and red) as it increases. (if
equipped with the cluster type B)
• Orange temperature gauge is displayed right before the warning
message appears on the LCD display.
(if equipped)
CAUTION
• Increase (high temperature) of the
transmission temperature gauge
usually appears on an incline when
the vehicle is stopped for a long time
using accelerator pedal, without
depressing the brake pedal.
• To maintain the optimal transmission
performance, drive so that the white
gauge is not exceeded. (if equipped)

Driving Your Vehicle6-24
D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position. The
tr
ansmission will automatically shift
through a 8-gear sequence, providing
the best fuel economy and power.
For extra power when passing another
vehicle or driving uphill, depress the
accelerator fully. The transmission will
automatically downshift to the next
lower gear (or gears, as appropriate).
The DRIVE MODE switch, located on the
shift lever console, allows the driver to
switch from NORMAL mode to ECO or
SPORT mode (if equipped)
For more information, refer to "Drive
Mode Integrated Control System" later
in this chapter.
WARNING
• Do not shift into gear unless your
foot is firmly on the brake pedal.
Shifting into gear when the engine
is running at high speed can cause
the vehicle to move very rapidly. You
may lose control of the vehicle and
cause accidents.
• Do not drive with the shift lever in N
(Neutral). The engine brake will not
work and may lead to an accident.
NOTICE
Always make sure the vehicle is
stationary, at a complete stop, before
selecting D (Drive).
OCN7N061252LOCN7N061252L
Manual shift mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or
in mo

tion, sports mode is selected by
pushing the shift lever from the D (Drive)
position into the manual gate. To return
to D (Drive) range operation, push the
shift lever back into the main gate.
In manual shift mode, moving the shift
lever backwards and forwards will allow
you to select the desired range of gears
for the current driving conditions.
Up (+) : Pull the lever backwards once to shift up one gear.
Down (-) : Push the lever forward once to shift down one gear.

Driving Your Vehicle6-26
Parking
Always come to a complete stop and
continue to depress the brake pedal.
Move the shift lever into the P (Park)
position, apply the parking brake, and set
the Engine Start/Stop button to the OFF
position. Take the Key with you when
exiting the vehicle.
WARNING
When you stay in the vehicle with
the engine running, be careful not to
depress the accelerator pedal for a long
period of time. The engine or exhaust
system may overheat and start a fire.
The exhaust gas and the exhaust system
are very hot. Keep away from the
exhaust system components.
Do not stop or park over flammable
materials, such as dry grass, paper or
leaves. They may ignite and cause a fire.
Paddle Shifter (Manual Shift
Mode) (if equipped)
OCN7N071061OCN7N071061
The paddle shifter is available when the
gear is in the D (Drive) position.
With the shift lever in the D position
The paddle shifter will operate when
the v
ehicle speed is more than 6 mph
(10km/h). Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter
once to shift up or down one gear and
the system changes from automatic
mode to manual mode.
When the vehicle speed is lower than
6 mph (10km/h), if you depress the
accelerator pedal for more than 5
seconds or if you move the shift lever
from D (Drive) to manual shift mode and
move it from manual shift mode to D
(Drive) again, the system changes from
manual mode to automatic mode.
When the engine reaches maximum rpm
in manual shift mode by paddle shifting
at shift lever D (driving) position, the shift
is automatically performed.
With the shift lever in the manual shift
mode
Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once to
shift up or do
wn one gear. In the manual
shift mode (+, -) position, even when the
engine reaches full speed, it does not
shift automatically.
Information
If the [+] and [-] paddle shifters are pulled
at the same time, gear shift may not occur.

Good Driving Practices
• Never move the shift lever from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to any other
position with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
• Never move the shift lever into 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 move the shift lever to N (Neutral) when driving. Doing so
may result in an accident because
of a loss of engine braking and the
transmission could be damaged.
• When driving uphill or downhill, always shift to D (Drive) for driving
forward or shift to R (Reverse) for
driving backwards, and check the
gear position indicated on the cluster
before driving. Driving in the opposite
direction of the selected gear, can
lead to a dangerous situation by
shutting off the engine and affecting
the braking performance.
• 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.
• When driving in sports mode, slow down before shifting to a lower gear.
Otherwise, the lower gear may not be
engaged if the engine RPM is outside
of the allowable range.
• Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle. Do not depend on
placing the transmission 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.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH:
• ALWAYS wear your seatbelt. In a
collision, an unbelted occupant
is significantly more likely to be
seriously injured or killed than a
properly belted occupant.
• Avoid high speeds when cornering 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.
• 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 t ravel lanes.
• HYUNDAI recommends you follow all
posted speed limits.
WARNING
If your vehicle is stuck in snow, mud,
sand, etc., you may attempt to free the
vehicle by rocking it back and forth. Do
not attempt this procedure if people or
objects are anywhere near. Vehicle may
suddenly move forward or backward as
it becomes unstuck, causing injury or
damage to nearby people or objects.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
WARNING
An Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) or
an Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system will not prevent accidents
due to improper or dangerous driving
maneuvers. Even though vehicle
control is improved during emergency
braking, always maintain a safe
distance between you and objects
ahead of you. Vehicle speeds should
always be reduced during extreme
road conditions. The braking distance
for cars equipped with ABS or ESC
may be longer than for those without
these systems in the following road
conditions.
Drive your vehicle at reduced speeds
during the following conditions:
• Rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.
• On roads where the road surface is
pitted or has different surface height.
• Tire chains are installed on your
vehicle.
The safety features of an ABS or ESC
equipped vehicle should not be tested
by high speed driving or cornering. This
could endanger the safety of yourself or
others.
ABS is an electronic braking system that
helps prevent a braking skid. ABS allows
the driver to steer and brake at the same
time.
Using ABS
To obtain the maximum benefit from
your ABS in an emergency situation,
do not attempt to modulate your brake
pressure and do not try to pump your
brakes. Depress your brake pedal as hard
as possible.
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 ABS is active.
ABS does not reduce the time or distance
it takes to stop the vehicle.
Always maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you.
ABS will not prevent a skid that results
from sudden changes in direction, such
as trying to take a corner too fast or
making a sudden lane change. Always
drive at a safe speed for the road and
weather conditions.
ABS cannot prevent a loss of stability.
Always steer moderately when braking
hard. Severe or sharp steering wheel
movement can still cause your vehicle to
veer into oncoming traffic or off the road.
On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock brake system
may result in a longer stopping distance
than for vehicles equipped with a
conventional brake system.
The ABS warning light (
) will stay on
for several seconds after the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the ON position.
During that time, the ABS will go through
self-diagnosis and the light will go off if
everything is normal. If the light stays on,
you may have a problem with your ABS.
Contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
as soon as possible.

ESC operation
ESC ON condition
When the engine is turned off and then
on again, ESC oper
ation is enabled,
and it is activated in the ESC operating
mode (not in ESC Sport mode or ESC
OFF mode) regardless of the ESC mode
before turning off the engine.
You may select between the following
state of ESC:
• ESC NORMAL activated (ESC ON)
• ESC SPORT activated (ESC SPORT indicator illuminates)
• ESC deactivated (ESC OFF indicator illuminates)
When operating
When the ESC is in operation,
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 routine conditions.
• If Cruise Control was in use when the ESC activates, Cruise Control
automatically disengages. Cruise
Control can be reengaged when the
road conditions allow. See “Cruise
Control (CC)” in chapter 7.
• 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 stability and traction of
the vehicle and does not indicate a
problem.

WARNING
• If you deactivate ESC, ESC no longer
stabilizes the vehicle. There is an
increased risk of skidding and an
accident.
• When ESC SPORT mode is activated,
the stability support from ESC will
be less than in "ESC ON mode", there
is a greater risk of skidding and an
accident.
Only deactivate ESC or activate ESC
SPORT in the situations described in the
following.
In the following situations, it may
be better to activate ESC SPORT or
deactivate ESC (ESC OFF):
• When using snow chains
• Driving in deep snow
• Driving in sand or gravel
• Driving on specially designed roads where oversteering and understeering
characteristics are desired
We recommend only qualified and
experienced drivers to drive the vehicle
with the ESC deactivated or ESC SPORT
activated.
CAUTION
After the above situations are over,
activate ESC immediately. If not, the
vehicle can be unstable due to vehicle
slip or wheel spin.
OCN7N061247N OCN7N061247N
ESC SPORT
To activate ESC SPORT mode
•
Press the ESC OFF button briefly. The
ESC SPORT indicator light illuminates
on the cluster LCD display. In this
state, ESC only stabilizes the vehicle
to a limited degree.
When ESC SPORT mode is activated:
• ESC only improves driving stability to a limited degree.
• Traction control is still activated, but with less wheel control (more slip).
• Engine torque can partially be limited for the vehicle's stability and the
driving wheel spin may be restricted
for better traction.
To deactivate ESC SPORT mode
• Press the ESC OFF button briefly. The ESC SPORT indicator light will go off
on the cluster LCD display.
