The Smart Recuperation System controls  
the regenerative braking automatically 
according to the road gradient and 
driving condition of the vehicle in front. 
The system minimizes the unnecessary 
operation of the brake and acceleration 
pedal, improving the electric energy 
efficiency and assisting the driver.
System setting
OOSEV040545L
The Smart Recuperation System enters  
the ready status when: 
The gear is in P (Park) and select 'User  
settings  → ECO vehicle  → Smart 
recuperation' on the User Settings mode. 
The setting is maintained when the  
vehicle is restarted.
To activate Smart Recuperation  
System
With 'AUTO' for the regenerative braking  
level displayed on the cluster, the 
regenerative braking level is controlled 
automatically when vehicle speed is 
above 10 km/h (6 mph) 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
 WARNING
When vehicle speed is under 10 km/h (6  
mph), the Smart Recuperation System 
is cancelled. The driver must adjust 
the vehicle speed by depressing the 
accelerator or brake pedal according to 
the road condition ahead and driving 
condition.

 Information
VSM does not operate when:  •	 Driving on a banked road such as  
gradient or incline.
•	 Driving  in reverse.
•	 The ESC OFF indicator light is on. 
•	 The EPS (Electric power steering) warning light (
) is on or blinks.
 WARNING
If the ESC indicator light (
) or EPS 
warning light () stays illuminated 
or blinks, your vehicle may have  
a malfunction with VSM. When 
the warning light illuminates we 
recommend that the vehicle be 
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
NOTICE
Driving with wheels and tires with  
different sizes may cause VSM to 
malfunction. Before replacing tires, 
make sure all four tires and wheels are 
the same size. Never drive the vehicle 
with different sized tires and wheels 
installed.
Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC) 
Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC) 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 
3 seconds and releases the brake after 3 
seconds or when the accelerator pedal is 
depressed.
 WARNING
Always be ready to depress the  
accelerator pedal when starting off on 
a incline. The HAC activates only for 
approximately 5 seconds.
 Information
•	 HAC does not operate when the shift  
lever is in P (Park) or N (Neutral).  
•	 HAC activates even when 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. Move the shift lever into the P 
(Park) position, then apply the parking 
brake, and place the START/STOP 
button in the LOCK/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. Wet brakes can be dangerous! 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, taking care to keep the 
vehicle under control at all times. If the 
braking action does not return to normal, 
stop as soon as it is safe to do so. We 
recommend that you 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
