BRAKE SYSTEM
Power Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through normal
usage.
In the event of a vehicle power failure,
the power assist for the brakes will not
work. You can still stop your vehicle, but
it will require greater force and increased
pedal travel than normal. The stopping
distance, however, will be longer than
with power brakes.
Information

[When the brake pedal is depressed
under certain driving conditions
or weather conditions, you may
temporarily hear a noise. This is
normal and does not indicate a problem
with your brakes.

[ While driving on a road with deicing
chemicals, brake noise or abnormal
tire wear may occur due to deicing
chemicals. In a safe traffic condition,
additionally apply the brakes to remove
deicing chemicals on the brake discs
and pads.
WARNING
Take the following precautions:

[Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. This will create
abnormal high brake temperatures,
excessive brake lining and pad wear,
and increased stopping distances.

[When descending down a long or
steep hill, move the gear shift lever
to Manual Shift Mode and manually
downshift to a lower gear in order
to control your speed without using
the brake pedal excessively. Applying
the brakes continuously will cause
the brakes to overheat and could
result in a temporary loss of braking
performance.

[ Wet brakes may impair the vehicle's
ability to safely slow down; the
vehicle may also pull to one side
when the brakes are applied.
Applying the brakes lightly will
indicate whether they have been
affected in this way. Always test your
brakes in this fashion after driving
through deep water. To dry the
brakes, lightly tap the brake pedal to
heat up the brakes while maintaining
a safe forward speed until brake
performance returns to normal.
Avoid driving at high speeds until the
brakes function correctly.
Disc Brakes Wear Indicator
When your brake pads are worn and new
pads are required, you will hear a high
pitched warning sound from your front
or rear brakes. You may hear this sound
come and go or it may occur whenever
you depress the brake pedal.
NOTICE
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not
continue to drive with worn brake pads.
Information
Always replace brake pads as complete
front or rear axle sets.

ESC OFF usage
When Driving
The ESC OFF mode should only be used
brie
fly to help free the vehicle if stuck in
snow 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.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the transmission:

[ 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 covered by the vehicle warranty.
Reduce engine power and do not
spin the wheel(s) excessively while
these lights are displayed.

[ 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 operation.
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 suddenly on wet, slippery and
rough roads where traction over the four
tires can suddenly become uneven.
WARNING
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 substitute for safe
driving practices.

[ Never drive too fast for the road
conditions. The VSM system will not
prevent accidents. Excessive speed
in bad weather, slippery and uneven
roads can result in severe accidents.

CAUTION
Take the following precautions to
maintain optimal performance of the
detecting sensor:

[Never disassemble the detecting
sensor or sensor assembly, or cause
any damage to it.

[ If the detecting sensors have been
replaced or repaired, have the
vehicle by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

[ Never install any accessories or
stickers on the front windshield, or
tint the front windshield.

[ Exercise extreme caution to keep the
front view camera dry.

[ Never place any reflective objects
(for example, white paper, mirror)
over the dashboard.

[ Do not place objects near the
windshield or install structures, etc.
Operation of the air conditioning
unit may result in poor moisture
and defrosting, which may prevent
the driver assistance system from
operating.

[ Do not apply license plate frame or
objects, such as a bumper sticker,
film or a bumper guard, near the
front radar cover.

[ Always keep the front radar and
cover clean and free of dirt and
debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash the
vehicle. Do not spray pressurized
water directly on the sensor or
sensor cover.
[
If the radar or around the radar has
been damaged or impacted in any
way, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not properly operate even
though a warning message does
not appear on the cluster. Have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

[ Use only genuine parts to repair or
replace a damaged front radar cover.
Do not apply paint to the front radar
cover.
