Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM)
The Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM) is a function of the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system. It
helps ensure the vehicle stays stable
when accelerating or braking sud-
denly on wet, slippery and rough
roads where traction over the four
tires can suddenly become uneven.
VSM operation
VSM ON condition
The VSM operates when:
The Electronic Stability Control(ESC) is on.
Vehicle speed is approximately above 13 mph (22 km/h) on curve
roads.
Vehicle speed is approximately above 6 mph (10 km/h) when the
vehicle is braking on a two surface
road.
✱ The two surface road is made of
surfaces which have different fric-
tion forces.
When operating
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may activate the
ESC, you may hear sounds from the
brakes, or feel a corresponding sen-
sation in the brake pedal. This is nor-
mal and it means your VSM is active.
Information
The VSM does not operate when:
• Driving on a banked road such as
gradient or incline.
• Driving rearward.
• ESC OFF indicator light is on.
• EPS (Electric Power Steering) warn- ing light ( ) is on or blinks.
i
Never drive too fast for the
road conditions. The VSM sys-
tem will not prevent acci-
dents. Excessive speed in bad
weather, slippery and uneven
roads can result in severe
accidents.
Take the following precautions
when using the Vehicle Stability
Management (VSM):
ALWAYS check the speed and
the distance to the vehicle
ahead. The VSM is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving prac-
tices.

Trailer Stability Assist (TSA)
Trailer Stability Assist system helps
stabilize the vehicle and trailer when
the trailer sways or oscillates. There
are various reasons making the vehi-
cle sway and oscillate.
Factors of swaying are such as:
- High speed
- Strong crosswinds
- Improper overloading
- Sudden controlling of steeringwheel
- Uneven road
Trailer Stability Assist system contin-
uously analyzes the vehicle and trail-
er instability. When the Trailer
Stability Assist system detects some
sway, the brakes are applied auto-
matically to stabilize the vehicle on
the front wheel. However, if it is not
enough to stabilize, the brakes are
applied on all wheels automatically
and engine power is properly
reduced. When the vehicle is stable
from swaying, trailer stability assist
system does not operate.
Good Braking Practices
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 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 driv-
ing, 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 for-
ward.
Whenever leaving the vehicle or
parking, always come to a com-
plete stop and continue to
depress the brake pedal. Shift
the gear to P (Park), then apply
the parking brake, and place the
ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF
position.
Vehicles parked with the park-
ing brake not applied or not
fully engaged may roll inadver-
tently and may cause injury to
the driver and others. ALWAYS
apply the parking brake before
exiting the vehicle.

At the same time, an audible warn-
ing will sound and the steering
wheel will vibrate. If the Rear View
Monitor is operating, a warning will
also appear on the infotainment
system screen.
The function will operate when all the following conditions are satis-
fied:
- The gear is shifted to R (Reverse)
- Vehicle speed is below 5 mph (8km/h)
- The approaching vehicle is within approximately 5 ft. (1.5 m) from
the left and right side of your vehi-
cle
- The speed of the vehicle approaching from the left and
right is above 3 mph (5 km/h)
Emergency braking will be assist- ed to help prevent collision with
approaching vehicles from the left
and right.
Stopping vehicle and ending brake
control
When the vehicle is stopped due toemergency braking, the ‘Drive
carefully’ warning message will
appear on the cluster.
For your safety, the driver should depress the brake pedal immedi-
ately and check the surroundings.
Brake control will end after the vehicle is stopped by emergency
braking for approximately 2 sec-
onds.
During emergency braking, brak- ing control by the function will auto-
matically cancel when the driver
excessively depresses the brake
pedal.
Brake control will end when:
- The approaching vehicle is
out of the detecting range
- The approaching vehicle passes behind your vehicle
- The approaching vehicle does not drive toward your vehicle
- The approaching vehicle speed slows down
- The driver depresses the brake pedal with sufficient
power

What to do in an emergency
Emergency Towing
If towing is necessary, we recom-
mend you have it done by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer or a commer-
cial tow truck service.If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or
chain secured to the emergency tow-
ing hook at the front (or rear) of the
vehicle.
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle with a cable or chain. A
driver must be in the vehicle to steer
it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for a
short distance and at low speeds.
Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be in
good condition.
Always follow these emergency tow-
ing precautions:
While depressing the brake pedal
shift to the N (Neutral) position and
turn the vehicle off. The POWER
button will be in the ACC position.
Release the parking brake.
Depress the brake pedal with more force than normal since you will
have reduced braking perform-
ance.
More steering effort will be required because the power steer-
ing system will be disabled.
Use a vehicle heavier than your own to tow your vehicle.
The drivers of both vehicles should communicate with each other fre-
quently.
Before emergency towing, check that the hook is not broken or dam-
aged.
Fasten the towing cable or chain securely to the hook.
Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady and even force.

The driver must be in the vehi-
cle for steering and braking
operations when the vehicle is
being towed. Passengers other
than the driver must not be in
the vehicle.
