continue to depress the brake pedal.
Press the P button, apply the parking
brake, and place the ignition switch in
the LOCK/OFF position. Take the Key
with you when exiting the vehicle.
• The gear is shifted to P (Park) position
automatically for safety under the
following conditions.
-When the driver unfastens the seat
belt and opens the driver’s door.
-When the engine is turned off with
the gear shifted to R (Reverse), D
(Drive) or N (Neutral).
WARNING
When you stay in the vehicle with
the engine running, be careful not to
depress the accelerator pedal for a long
period of time. The engine or exhaust
system may overheat and start a fire.
The exhaust gas and the exhaust system
are very hot. Keep away from the
exhaust system components.
Do not stop or park over flammable
materials, such as dry grass, paper or
leaves. They may ignite and cause a fire.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
WARNING
An Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) or
an Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system will not prevent accidents
due to improper or dangerous driving
maneuvers. Even though vehicle
control is improved during emergency
braking, always maintain a safe
distance between you and objects
ahead of you. Vehicle speeds should
always be reduced during extreme
road conditions. The braking distance
for cars equipped with ABS or ESC
may be longer than for those without
these systems in the following road
conditions.
Drive your vehicle at reduced speeds
during the following conditions:
• Rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.
• On roads where the road surface is
pitted or has different surface height.
• Tire chains are installed on your
vehicle.
The safety features of an ABS or ESC
equipped vehicle should not be tested
by high speed driving or cornering. This
could endanger the safety of yourself or
others.
ABS is an electronic braking system that
helps prevent a braking skid. ABS allows
the driver to steer and brake at the same
time.
Using ABS
To obtain the maximum benefit from
your ABS in an emergency situation,
do not attempt to modulate your brake
pressure and do not try to pump your
brakes. Depress your brake pedal as hard
as possible.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the wheels,
you may hear sounds from the brakes,
or feel a corresponding sensation in the
brake pedal. This is normal and it means
your ABS is active.
ABS does not reduce the time or distance
it takes to stop the vehicle.
Always maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you.
ABS will not prevent a skid that results
from sudden changes in direction, such
as trying to take a corner too fast or
making a sudden lane change. Always
drive at a safe speed for the road and
weather conditions.
ABS cannot prevent a loss of stability.
Always steer moderately when braking
hard. Severe or sharp steering wheel
movement can still cause your vehicle to
veer into oncoming traffic or off the road.
On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock brake system
may result in a longer stopping distance
than for vehicles equipped with a
conventional brake system.
The ABS warning light (
) will stay on
for several seconds after the ignition
switch is in the ON position. During
that time, the ABS will go through self-
diagnosis and the light will go off if
everything is normal. If the light stays on,
you may have a problem with your ABS.
Contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
as soon as possible.

ESC operation
ESC ON condition
When the ignition switch is in the
ON position, the ESC and the ESC
OFF indicator lights illuminate for
approximately three seconds. After both
lights go off, the ESC is enabled.
When operating
When the ESC is in operation,
the ESC indicator light blinks:
• When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the wheels,
you may hear sounds from the brakes,
or feel a corresponding sensation in
the brake pedal. This is normal and it
means your ESC is active.
• When the ESC activates, the engine
may not respond to the accelerator as
it does under routine conditions.
• If the Cruise Control was in use when
the ESC activates, the Cruise Control
automatically disengages. The Cruise
Control can be reengaged when the
road conditions allow. See "Cruise
Control System" later in this chapter.
(if equipped)
• When moving out of the mud or
driving on a slippery road, the engine
RPM (revolutions per minute) may
not increase even if you press the
accelerator pedal deeply. This is to
maintain the stability and traction of
the vehicle and does not indicate a
problem. ESC OFF condition
To cancel ESC operation:
•
State 1
Press the ESC OFF button briefly. The
ESC OFF indicator light and message
"Traction Control disabled" will
illuminate. In this state, the traction
control function of ESC (engine
management) is disabled, but the
brake control function of ESC (braking
management) still operates.
• State 2
Press and hold the ESC OFF button
continuously for more than 3 seconds.
The ESC OFF indicator light and message
"Traction and Stability Control disabled"
illuminates and a warning chime sounds.
In this state, both the traction control
function of ESC (engine management)
and the brake control function of ESC
(braking management) are disabled.
If the ignition switch is placed to the
LOCK/OFF position when ESC is off, ESC
remains off. Upon restarting the engine,
the ESC will automatically turn on again.

While Driving
6-32
Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
The 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
2 seconds 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 on
a incline. The HAC activates only for
approximately 2 seconds.
NOTICE
• The HAC does not operate when
the shift button is in P (Park) or N
(Neutral)
• The HAC activates even though the
ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is
off but does not activate when the
ESC has malfunctioned.
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 button into P
(Park) position, then apply the parking
brake, and place the ignition switch 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 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.

While Driving
6-44
NOTICE
NEVER install any accessories or
stickers on the front windshield, or tint
the front windshield.
NEVER place any reflective objects
(i.e. white paper, mirror) over the
dashboard. Any light reflection may
prevent the system from functioning
properly.
Pay extreme caution to keep the camera
dry.
NEVER disassemble the camera
assembly, or apply any impact on the
camera assembly.

detected by the camera recognition
system, for example, if the pedestrian
is leaning over or is not fully walking
upright
• The pedestrian or cyclist is moving
very quickly or appears abruptly in the
camera detection area
• The pedestrian or cyclist is wearing
clothing that easily blends into the
background, making it difficult to be
detected by the camera recognition
system
• The outside lighting is too bright (e.g.
when driving in bright sunlight or
in sun glare) or too dark (e.g. when
driving on a dark rural road at night)
• It is difficult to detect and distinguish
the pedestrian or cyclist from other
objects in the surroundings, for
example, when there is a group of
pedestrians, cyclists or a large crowd
• There is an item similar to a person’s
body structure
• The pedestrian or cyclist is small
• The pedestrian has impaired mobility
• The sensor recognition is limited
• The radar sensor or camera is blocked
with a foreign object or debris

Limitations of the system
Junction Turning function is only a
supplemental system for driver’s safety
whilst turning left on the crossroads. The
driver should hold the responsibility to
control the vehicle. The system monitors
the oncoming vehicle ahead the road
through the front view camera and
radar. In certain situations, the front view
camera and radar may not be able to
detect the oncoming vehicles properly.
The driver must pay careful attention
in the following situations where the
system operation may be limited or it
may activate unintentionally.
The sensor may be limited when:
• The radar sensor or camera
recognizes the approaching vehicle
too late.
• The radar sensor or camera is blocked
with a foreign object or debris.
• The driving direction of the
approaching vehicle is irregular or
frontal.
• The approaching vehicle changes
lanes too late or decelerates suddenly.
• The angle of the approaching vehicle
is out of range.
• Whilst circling, the sensor (the front
view camera or front radar) does not
detect the approaching vehicle.
• The driving speed of the approaching
vehicle is too fast or slow.
• The head lamps of the approaching
vehicle are turned off or asymmetrical. •
The approaching vehicle stops whilst
turning left.
• The vehicle moves out of its lane or
returns to its lane.
• The vehicle changes lanes suddenly
at a low speed whilst there is an
approaching vehicle.
• The brightness outside is too so it
does not detect the vehicle.
• Inclement weather such as heavy rain
or snow obscures the field of view of
the front view camera or front radar.
• The approaching vehicle is covered
with snow.
• The field of view in front is obstructed
by sun glare.
• The shape of approaching vehicle is
unusual.
• Whilst driving upward or downward
on a slope.
For more information, refer to “Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)” in this
chapter.
