WARNING
Shifting into P (Park) while the vehicle is
in motion may cause you to lose control
of the vehicle.
After the vehicle has stopped, always
make sure the gear is in P (Park), apply
the parking brake, and turn the vehicle
off.
Do not use the P (Park) position in place
of the parking brake.

R (Reverse) or D (Drive), from R (Reverse)
into D (Drive) or from D (Drive) into R
(Reverse) :
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the vehicle or place the START/
STOP button in the ON position.

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.
• Driving uphill or downhill, always shift
to D (Drive) when driving forward or to
R (Reverse) when driving backwards,
and check the gear position indicated
on the cluster before driving. If you
drive in the opposite direction of the
selected gear, the vehicle will turn
off and a serious accident might be
occurred due to the degraded brake
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.
• 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 travel lanes.
• HYUNDAI recommends you follow all
posted speed limits.

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.
