NOTICE
Driving with wheels and tires with
different sizes may cause ESC to
malfunction. Before replacing tires,
make sure all four tires and wheels are
the same size. Never drive the vehicle
with different sized wheels and tires
installed. ESC OFF usage
When Driving
The ESC OFF mode should only be used
briefly to help free the vehicle if stuck in
snow or mud, by temporarily stopping
operation of ESC, to maintain wheel
torque.
To turn ESC off while driving, press the
ESC OFF button while driving on a flat
road surface.
NOTICE
• Do not allow wheel(s) of one axle to
spin excessively while the ESC, ABS,
and parking brake warning lights
are displayed. The repairs would not
be covered by the vehicle warranty.
Reduce vehicle power and do not
spin the wheel(s) excessively while
these lights are displayed.
• When operating the vehicle
on a dynamometer, make sure
ESC is turned off (ESC OFF light
illuminated).
Information
Turning ESC off does not affect ABS or standard brake system operation.
Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM)
Vehicle Stability Management (VSM)
is a function of the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC). It helps ensure the
vehicle stays stable when accelerating
or braking suddenly on wet, slippery
and rough roads where traction over the
four tires can suddenly become uneven.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM): • ALWAYS check the speed and the
distance to the vehicle ahead. VSM
is not a substitute for safe driving
practices.
• Never drive too fast for the road
conditions. VSM will not prevent
accidents. Excessive speed in bad
weather, on slippery and uneven
roads can result in severe accidents.
VSM operation
VSM ON condition
VSM operates when: • Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is on.
• Vehicle speed is approximately under
150 km/h (93 mph) when the vehicle is
braking on rough roads.
When operating
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may activate ESC, you
may hear sounds from the brakes, or feel
a corresponding sensation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and it means your
VSM is active.

warning
• even if there is a problem with
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist, the vehicle’s basic braking
performance will operate normally.
• During emergency braking,
braking control by the function
will automatically cancel when the
driver excessively depresses the
accelerator pedal or sharply steers
the vehicle.
CAUTION
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
operating speed range may reduce
due to the conditions of the vehicle,
pedestrian or cyclist in front or
surroundings. Depending on the speed,
the function may only warn the driver,
or the function may not operate.
Information
• In a situation where collision is imminent, braking may be assisted by
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist when braking is insufficient by the
driver.
• Depending on the type and theme of the
Instrument cluster, images and colors
may differ.

When the front windshield where the
front view camera is located, front radar
cover, bumper or sensor is covered with
foreign material, such as snow or rain, it
can reduce the detecting performance
and temporarily limit or disable Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist.
If this occurs the ‘Forward Safety system
disabled. Camera obscured’ warning message, and the
and warning
lights will illuminate on the cluster.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will
operate normally when snow, rain or
foreign material is removed.
If Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
does not operate normally after
obstruction (snow, rain, or foreign
material) is removed, we recommend
that the function be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
warning
• even though the warning message or
warning light does not appear on the
cluster, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not properly operate.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not properly operate in an
area (e.g. open terrain), where any
substance are not detected after
turning ON the vehicle. Limitations of Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may
not operate normally, or it may operate
unexpectedly under the following
circumstances: •
The detecting sensor or the
surroundings are contaminated or damaged
• The temperature around the front
view camera is high or low
• The camera lens is contaminated due
to tinted, filmed or coated windshield,
damaged glass, or stuck of foreign
material (sticker, bug, etc.) on the glass
• Moisture is not removed or frozen on the windshield
• Washer fluid is continuously sprayed, or the wiper is on
• Driving in heavy rain or snow, or thick
fog
• The field of view of the front view
camera is obstructed by sun glare

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not detect other vehicles,
pedestrians in front of you on
curved roads adversely affecting the
performance of the sensors. This may
result in no warning, braking assist
or steering assist (if equipped) when
necessary.
When driving on a curve, you must
maintain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, steer the vehicle
and depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.

Emergency situations
8-2
OOSEV060001L
The hazard warning flasher serves as
a warning to other drivers to exercise
extreme caution when approaching,
overtaking, or passing your vehicle.
It should be used whenever emergency
repairs are being made or when the
vehicle is stopped near the edge of a
roadway.
To turn the hazard warning flasher on
or off, press the hazard warning flasher
button with the START/STOP button in
any position. The button is located in the
center fascia panel. All turn signal lights
will flash simultaneously. • The hazard warning flasher operates
whether your vehicle is running or not.
• The turn signals do not work when the
hazard flasher is on.
If the vehicle stalls while driving
• Reduce your speed gradually, keeping
a straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place.
• Turn on your hazard warning flasher.
• Try to start the vehicle again. If your
vehicle will not start, we recommend
that you contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
If the vehicle stalls at a crossroad
or crossing
If the vehicle stalls at a crossroads or
crossing, if safe to do so, move the shift
lever to the N (Neutral) position and then
push the vehicle to a safe location.
