Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
ODN8069018
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system helps to stabilize the vehicle
during cornering maneuvers. ESC checks
where you are steering and where the
vehicle is actually going. ESC applies
braking pressure to any one of the
vehicle's brakes and intervenes in the
engine management system to assist the
driver with keeping the vehicle on the
intended path. It is not a substitute for
safe driving practices. Always adjust your
speed and driving to the road conditions.
WARNING
Never drive too fast for the road
conditions or too quickly when
cornering. The ESC system will not
prevent accidents.
Excessive speed in turns, abrupt
maneuvers, and hydroplaning on wet
surfaces can result in severe accidents.
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.

Drive Mode
ODN8069020
The drive mode may be selected
according to the driver’s preference or
road condition.
Information
If there is a problem with the
instrument cluster, the drive mode will
be in COMFORT mode and may not
change to NORMAL mode or SPORT
mode.
The mode changes when you toggle the
DRIVE MODE button.
CUSTOM

NORMAL
SMART
When COMFORT mode is selected, it is
not displayed on the instrument cluster.
• NORMAL mode :
NORMAL mode helps provide smooth
driving and comfortable riding.
• SPORT mode :
SPORT mode helps provide sporty but
firm riding.
• CUSTOM mode :
The driver can separately adjust
modes of each driving system.
• SMART mode :
SMART mode automatically adjusts
the driving mode (NORMAL « SPORT)
in accordance with the driver's driving
habits.
The drive mode will change to NORMAL
mode when the engine is restarted.
When changing the drive mode setting,
the responsiveness of Smart Cruise
Control changes.

Various driving situations, which you may
encounter in SMART mode
• The driving mode automatically
changes to SMART SPORT, when
you abruptly accelerate the vehicle
or repetitively operate the steering
wheel (Your driving is categorized
to be sporty.). In this mode, your
vehicle drives in a lower gear for
abrupt accelerating/decelerating
and increases the engine brake
performance.
• You may still sense the engine
braking performance, even when
you release the accelerator pedal in
SMART SPORT mode. It is because
your vehicle remains in lower gear
over a certain period of time for next
acceleration. Thus, it is a normal
driving situation, not indicating any
malfunction.
• The driving mode automatically
changes to SMART SPORT mode only
in harsh driving situations. In most
of the normal driving situations, the
driving mode sets to be in SMART
NORMAL mode. Limitation of SMART mode
The SMART mode may be limited in
following situations. (The OFF indicator
illuminates in those situations.)
•
The driver uses the paddle shifter
(manual shift mode) :
It deactivates SMART mode. The
vehicle drives, as the driver manually
changes gear with the paddle shifter.
• The cruise control is activated :
The cruise control system may
deactivate the SMART mode when
the vehicle is controlled by the set
speed of Smart Cruise Control system.
(SMART mode is not deactivated
just by activating the cruise control
system.)
• The transmission oil temperature is
either extremely low or extremely
high :
The SMART mode can be active in
most of the normal driving situations.
However, an extremely high/ low
transmission oil temperature may
temporarily deactivate the SMART
mode, because the transmission
condition is out of normal operation
condition.

Information
The system may suggest a break according
to the driver’s driving pattern or habits
even if the driver doesn’t feel fatigue.
NOTICE
• Driver Attention Warning system
utilizes the camera sensor on the
front windshield for its operation. To
keep the camera sensor in the best
condition, you should observe the
followings:
• 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 cause a malfunction of Driver
Attention Warning system.
• Pay extreme caution to keep the
camera sensor dry.
• Never disassemble the camera
assembly, or apply any impact on the
camera assembly.
If the sensor is forcibly moved out
of proper alignment, the system
may not operate correctly. Have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
• Driver Attention Warning system may
not provide alerts in the following
situations:
• Driver Attention Warning system
is using the front view camera. To
optimize the function of the front
view camera, the driver should
manage carefully. For detailed
information, please refer to the
warning statements in Lane Keeping
Assist system section.
• The lane detection performance
is limited. (For more information,
refer to “Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)”
section in this chapter.)
• The vehicle is erratically driven
or is abruptly turned for obstacle
avoidance (e.g. construction area,
other vehicles, fallen objects, bumpy
road).
• Forward drivability of the vehicle is
severely undermined (possibly due
to wide variation in tire pressures,
uneven tire wear-out, toe-in/toe-out
alignment).
• The vehicle is driven on a curvy road.
• The vehicle is driven through a windy
area.
• The vehicle is driven on a bumpy
road.
• The vehicle is controlled by the
following driving assist systems:
-F

orward Collision-Avoidance Assist
system
- Lane K

eeping Assist system
-Smart Cruise Con

trol system
-Lane F

ollowing Assist system
CAUTION
Playing the vehicle audio system at
high volume may prevent occupants
from hearing Driver Attention Warning
system warning sounds.

WARNING
Smart Cruise Control system is not a
substitute for safe driving practices, but
a convenience function only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to always
check the speed and distance to the
vehicle ahead.
WARNING
Take the following precautions:
• Always set the vehicle speed under
the speed limit in your country.
• If Smart Cruise Control is left on,

is not in use, to avoid inadvertently
setting a speed.
• Use Smart Cruise Control system only
when traveling on open highways in
good weather.
