Driving your vehicle
Before Entering the Vehicle
• Be sure all windows, outside mir-
ror(s), and outside lights are clean
and unobstructed.
• Remove frost, snow, or ice.
• Visually check the tires for uneven
wear and damage.
• Check under the vehicle for any
sign of leaks.
• Be sure there are no obstacles
behind you if you intend to back up.
Before Starting
• Make sure the hood, the liftgate,
and the doors are securely closed
and locked.
• Adjust the position of the seat and
steering wheel.
• Adjust the inside and side view mir-
rors.
• Verify all the lights work.
• Fasten your seatbelt. Check that all
passengers have fastened their
seatbelts.
• Check the gauges and indicators in
the instrument panel and the mes-
sages on the instrument display
when the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
• Check that any items you are car-
rying are stored properly or fas-
tened down securely. CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65

Engine exhaust and a wide vari-
ety of automobile components
including components found in
the interior furnishings in a
vehicle, contain or emit harmful
chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and
birth defects and reproductive
harm. In addition, certain fluids
contained in vehicles and cer-
tain products of components
contain or emit chemicals

to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive
harm.WARNING
BEFORE DRIVING

5-14
Driving your vehicle
To prevent damage to the engine,
clutch and transmission:
• When downshifting from 5
th
gear to 4thgear, be careful not to
inadvertently push the shift
lever sideways engaging the 2
nd
gear. A drastic downshift may
cause the engine speed to
increase to the point the
tachometer will enter the red-
zone and may cause engine,
clutch and the transmission
damage.
• Do not downshift more than two
gear at a time or downshift the
gear when the engine is running
at high speed (5,000 RPM or
higher).
Such down shifting may damage
the engine, clutch and the trans-
mission.
Good Driving Practices
• Never take the vehicle out of gear
and coast down a hill. This is
extremely dangerous.
• Don't "ride" the brakes. This can
cause the brakes and related parts
to overheat and malfunction.
When you are driving down a long
hill, slow down and shift to a lower
gear. Engine braking will help slow
down the vehicle.
• Slow down before shifting to a
lower gear. This will help avoid
over-revving the engine, which can
cause damage.
• Slow down when you encounter
cross winds. This gives you much
better control of your vehicle.
• Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you shift into R
(Reverse) to prevent damage to
the transmission.• Exercise extreme caution when
driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
NOTICE
Do not use aggressive engine
braking (shifting from a higher
gear to a lower gear) on slip-
pery roads. This could cause
the tires to slip and may result
in an accident.
WARNING

5-20
Driving your vehicle
• The Dual Clutch Transmission gives
the driving feel of a manual trans-
mission, yet provides the ease of a
fully automatic transmission. Unlike
a traditional automatic transmis-
sion, the gear shifting can be felt
(and heard) on the dual clutch
transmission.
- Think of it as an automatically
shifting manual transmission.
- Shift into Drive range and get fully
automatic shifting, similar to a
conventional automatic transmis-
sion.
• Dual clutch transmission adopts
wet-type dual clutch, which is dif-
ferent from torque converter of
automatic transmission, and
shows better acceleration perform-
ance during driving. But, initial
launch might be little bit slower
than Automatic Transmission.
• The wet-type clutch transfers
torque and provides a direct driving
feeling which may feel different
from a conventional automatic
transmission with a torque convert-
er. This may be more noticeable
when starting from a stop or low
vehicle speed.• When rapidly accelerating at low
vehicle speed, engine could rev at
high rpm depending on vehicle
drive condition.
• For smooth launch uphill, press
down the accelerator pedal
smoothly depending on the current
conditions.
• If you release your foot from the
accelerator pedal at low vehicle
speed, you may feel strong engine
brake, which is similar to manual
transmission.
• When driving downhill, you may
use Sports Mode to downshift to a
lower gear in order to control your
speed without using the brake
pedal excessively.
• When you turn the engine on and
off, you may hear clicking sounds
as the system goes through a self
test. This is a normal sound for the
Dual Clutch Transmission.
• Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into D (Drive) or R
(Reverse).
• Do not put the shift lever in N
(Neutral) while driving.
•When using Manual Shift Mode,
use caution when shifting from
a higher gear to a lower gear on
slippery roads. This could
cause the tires to slip and may
result in an accident.
•To avoid damage to your
transmission, do not try to
accelerate with the shift lever
in R (Reverse) or any forward
gear position with the brake
engaged.
•When stopped on a slope, do
not hold the vehicle with accel-
erator pedal. Engage the serv-
ice brake or the parking brake.

Indicator lights
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the ESC indicator light illu-
minates, then goes off if the ESC
system is operating normally.
The ESC indicator light blinks when-
ever the ESC is operating.
If the ESC indicator light stays on,
your vehicle may have a malfunction
with the ESC system. When this
warning light illuminates have your
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.The ESC OFF indicator light comes
on when the ESC is turned off with
the button.
Driving with wheels and tires with
different sizes may cause the ESC
system 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.
NOTICE
Don't use ESC SPORT mode or
ESC OFF while using a mini
spare tire or a tire repair kit is in
use!
WARNING
When the ESC is blinking, this
indicates the ESC is active:
Drive slowly and NEVER attempt
to accelerate. NEVER turn the
ESC off while the ESC indicator
light is blinking or you may lose
control of the vehicle resulting in
an accident.

CUSTOM mode
You may select the drive mode you
prefer from the display audio screen.
• Select CUSTOM mode by pressing
the N button on the steering wheel.
The display audio screen will dis-
play the CUSTOM mode menu.
From the CUSTOM mode menu,
select 'ESC →NORMAL / SPORT
/ OFF'.
• You may directly go to the CUS-
TOM mode menu by touching the
display audio screen.
For more details, refer to the dis-
play audio manual.When ESC is turned off or on from
the CUSTOM mode, you may not
turn OFF/ON the system with the
ESC OFF button. If the ESC OFF
button is pressed, a message "ESC
disabled in CUSTOM mode settings.
Hold flag button 3 sec to acknowl-
edge" will appear on the cluster LCD
display. You may change the state of
ESC (NORMAL, SPORT, OFF) from
the CUSTOM mode.
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.
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.
•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.
