Driving your vehicle
Information
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the ABS
warning light ( ) may turn on at the
same time. This happens because of
the low battery voltage. It does not
mean your ABS is malfunctioning.
Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC)
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 man-
agement 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.
i
If the ABS warning light ( ) is
on and stays on, you may have
a problem with the ABS. Your
power brakes will work normal-
ly. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, contact your
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.
WARNING
When you drive on a road hav-
ing poor traction, such as an icy
road, and apply your brakes
continuously, the ABS will be
active continuously and the
ABS warning light ( ) may
illuminate. Pull your car over to
a safe place and turn the engine
off.
Restart the engine. If the ABS
warning light is off, then your
ABS system is normal.
Otherwise, you may have a
problem with your ABS system.
Contact an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.
CAUTION
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 approxi-
mately three seconds and goes off,
then the ESC is turned on. (After a
new ignition cycle, the ESC ON
mode is always activated (default
setting).)
You may select between the follow-
ing state of ESC:
• ESC NORMAL activated (ESC
ON)
• ESC SPORT activated (ESC
SPORT indicator illuminates)
• ESC deactivated (ESC OFF indi-
cator illuminates)
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 operates, the
engine may not respond to the
accelerator as it does under rou-
tine conditions.
• If the Cruise Control was in use
when the ESC activates, the
Cruise Control automatically disen-
gages. The Cruise Control can be
reengaged when the road condi-
tions 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 sta-
bility and traction of the vehicle and
does not indicate a problem.

ESC SPORT
•To activate ESC SPORT mode
Press the ESC OFF button briefly.
The ESC SPORT indicator light illu-
minates on the cluster LCD display.
In this state, ESC only stabilizes the
vehicle to a limited degree.
When ESC SPORT mode is activated:
- ESC only improves driving stabil-
ity to a limited degree.
- Traction control is still activated,
but with less wheel control (more
slip).
- Engine torque can partially be
limited for the vehicle's stability
and the driving wheel spin may
be restricted for better traction.•To deactivate ESC SPORT mode
Press the ESC OFF button briefly.
The ESC SPORT indicator light will
go off on the cluster LCD display.
To deactivate ESC (ESC OFF)
Press and hold the ESC
OFF button continuously for
more than 3 seconds. The
ESC OFF indicator light and
message "Traction & 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.
To activate the ESC again, briefly
press the ESC OFF button. The ESC
OFF indicator light will go off.

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 the ESC, to
maintain wheel torque.
To turn ESC off while driving, press
the ESC OFF button while driving on
a flat road surface.To prevent damage to the trans-
mission:
• 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 cov-
ered by the vehicle warranty.
Reduce engine power and do
not spin the wheel(s) excessive-
ly while these lights are dis-
played.
• When operating the vehicle on a
dynamometer, make sure the
ESC is turned off (ESC OFF light
illuminated).
Information
Turning the ESC off does not affect
ABS or standard brake system opera-
tion.
Drive mode selection
When the ESC is on, the character-
istic of ESC varies according to
which drive mode is selected by
pressing the DRIVE MODE or N but-
ton on the steering wheel.
For more details, refer to "Drive
Mode Integrated Control System"
in this chapter.

Keep your foot firmly on the brake
pedal when the vehicle is stopped to
prevent the vehicle from rolling for-
ward.• Be cautious when parking on a
hill. Firmly engage the parking
brake and place the shift lever in
the 1
stgear when the vehicle is
parked on a uphill and in R
(Reverse) on a downhill. If your
vehicle is facing downhill, steer
the front wheels to the curb to
help prevent the vehicle from
rolling. If your vehicle is facing
uphill, turn the front wheels
away from the curb to help pre-
vent the vehicle from rolling. If
there is no curb or if the vehicle
has to be kept from rolling due
to conditions block the wheels.• Under some conditions your
parking brake can freeze in the
engaged position. This is most
likely to happen when there is
an accumulation of snow or ice
around or near the rear brakes
or if the brakes are wet. If there
is a risk of brake freezing, apply
the brake temporarily while you
put the shift lever in the 1
stgear
when the vehicle is parked on a
uphill and in R (Reverse) on a
downhill and block the rear
wheels so the vehicle cannot
roll. Then release the parking
brake.
• Do not hold the vehicle on the
incline with the accelerator
pedal. This can cause the trans-
mission to overheat. Always use
the brake pedal or parking
brake.
NOTICE
Brake override system
The system assists safe decel-
eration by reducing the engine
power when the accelerator
pedal is jammed or stuck and
when you continue depressing
the brake pedal.
However, the system is deacti-
vated when ESC is OFF in N
mode. When the system is dis-
abled, the brake distance may
be longer than when the system
is activated.

When ECO mode is activated:
• The acceleration response may be
slightly reduced as the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
• The air conditioner performance
may be limited.
• The engine noise may get louder.
The above situations are normal
conditions when ECO mode is acti-
vated, to improve fuel efficiency.Limitation of ECO mode opera-
tion:
If the following conditions occur while
ECO mode is operating, the system
operation is limited even though
there is no change in ECO indicator.
• When the coolant temperature is
low:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.
• When driving up a hill:
The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
engine torque is restricted.
The system will be limited due to
the shift location.
• When the accelerator pedal is
deeply depressed for a few sec-
onds:
The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.
SPORT mode
SPORT mode manages
the driving dynamics by
automatically adjusting the
steering effort, the engine
and transmission control
logic for enhanced driving
performance.
• When SPORT mode is selected by
pressing the DRIVE MODE button,
the SPORT indicator will illuminate.
• When SPORT mode is activated:
- The engine rpm will tend to
remain raised over a certain
length of time even after releas-
ing the accelerator
- Upshifts are delayed when accel-
erating
Information
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency
may decrease.
