Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
Hill-Start Assist Control helps prevent 
the vehicle from rolling backwards 
when starting a vehicle from a stop 
on a hill. The system operates the 
brakes automatically for approximately 
2 seconds (maximum of 5 seconds 
when the accelerator pedal is slightly 
depressed during HAC operation) and 
releases the brake after 2 seconds or 
when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
 WARNING
Always be ready to depress the 
accelerator pedal when starting off 
an incline. Hill-Start Assist Control 
activates only for approximately 2 
seconds (maximum of 5 seconds 
when the accelerator pedal is slightly 
depressed during HAC operation).
 Information
[ Hill-Start Assist Control does not 
operate when the gear is shifted to P 
(Park) or N (Neutral).
[ Hill-Start Assist Control activates even 
when the ESC (Electronic Stability 
Control) is off. However, it does not 
activate, when ESC does not operate 
normally.

Good Braking Practices
 WARNING
Whenever leaving the vehicle or 
parking, always come to a complete 
stop and continue to depress the brake 
pedal. Shift the gear to the P (Park) 
position, then apply the parking brake, 
and press the Start/Stop button to the 
OFF position.
Vehicles parked with the parking brake 
not applied or not fully engaged may 
roll inadvertently and may cause injury 
to the driver and others. ALWAYS apply 
the parking brake before exiting the 
vehicle.Be aware of wet brakes. The brakes may 
get wet if the vehicle is driven through 
standing water or if it is washed. Your 
vehicle will not stop as quickly if the 
brakes are wet. Wet brakes may cause 
the vehicle to pull to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes 
lightly until the braking action returns to 
normal. If the braking action does not 
return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe 
to do so and call an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer for assistance.
DO NOT drive with your foot resting on 
the brake pedal. Even light, but constant 
pedal pressure can result in the brakes 
overheating, brake wear, and possibly 
even brake failure.
If a tire goes flat while you are driving, 
apply the brakes gently and keep the 
vehicle pointed straight ahead while you 
slow down. When you are moving slowly 
enough for it to be safe to do so, pull off 
the road and stop in a safe location.
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal 
when the vehicle is stopped to prevent 
the vehicle from rolling forward.
