To shift from P (Park), you must depress
firmly on the brake pedal and make sure
your foot is off the accelerator pedal.
If you have done all of the above and
still cannot shift the lever out of P
(Park), see “Shift-Lock Release” in this
chapter.
The shift lever must be in P (Park) before
turning the engine off.
WARNING

[Shifting into P (Park) whilst the
vehicle is in motion may cause you to
lose control of the vehicle.

[After the vehicle has stopped, always
make sure the shift lever is in P (Park),
apply the parking brake, and turn the
engine off.

[When parking on an incline, place the
shift lever in P (Park) and apply the
parking brake to prevent the vehicle
from rolling downhill.

[For safety, always engage the parking
brake with the shift lever in the P
(Park) position except for the case of
emergency parking.

Shift-lock system
For your safety, the dual clutch
transmission has a shift-lock system
which prevents shifting the transmission
from P (Park) into R (Reverse) unless the
brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the transmission from P (Park)
into R (Reverse):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or place the ignition
switch in the ON position.
3. Move the shift lever.

Power brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through normal
usage.
If the engine is not running or is turned
off whilst driving, the power assist for
the brakes will not work. You can still
stop your vehicle by applying greater
force to the brake pedal than typical.
The stopping distance, however, will be
longer than with power brakes.
When the engine is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially depleted
each time the brake pedal is applied.
Do not pump the brake pedal when the
power assist has been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when
necessary to maintain steering control
on slippery surfaces.
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, 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 whilst 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.
Note that some driving conditions or
climates may cause a brake squeal
when you first apply (or lightly apply)
the brakes. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem with your brakes.
NOTICE
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not
continue to drive with worn brake pads.

Rear drum brakes
Your rear drum brakes do not have wear
indicators. Therefore, have the rear
brake linings inspected if you hear a rear
brake rubbing noise. Also have your rear
brakes inspected each time you change
or rotate your tyres and when you have
the front brakes replaced.
Parking brake
OBC3060005
Always set the parking brake before
leaving the vehicle, to apply:
Firmly depress the brake pedal.
Pull up the parking brake lever as far as
possible.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH, do not operate the parking

Electronic Stability Control
(ESC)
OBC3N061006AU
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system helps to stabilize the vehicle
during cornering manoeuvres.
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
manoeuvres, and hydroplaning on wet
surfaces can result in severe accidents.
ESC operation
(6&21FRQGLWLRQ
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.

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.

automatically disengages. The Cruise
Control can be reengaged when the
road conditions allow. See “Cruise
Control System” later in this chapter
7 (if equipped).

[ :KHQPRYLQJRXWRIWKHPXGRU
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.

light illuminates we recommend that
the vehicle be checked by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer as soon as possible.
The ESC OFF indicator light comes on
when the ESC is turned off with the
button.
WARNING
When the ESC is blinking, this indicates
the ESC is active:
Drive slowly and NEVER attempt to
accelerate. NEVER turn the ESC off
whilst the ESC indicator light is blinking
or you may lose control of the vehicle
resulting in an accident.
NOTICE
Driving with wheels and tyres with
different sizes may cause the ESC
system to malfunction. Before
replacing tyres, make sure all four tyres
and wheels are the same size. Never
drive the vehicle with different sized
wheels and tyres installed.

Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
(if equipped)
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
an incline. The HAC activates only for
approximately 2 seconds.

Driving your vehicle
Multi-Collision Brake (MCB)
Multi-Collision Brake controls the brake
automatically in the event of an accident
where the air bag deploys to reduce the
risk of additional accidents that may
occur.
System operation

[From the time the air bag deploys
Multi-Collision Brake monitors the
depression intensity of the brake
pedal and accelerator pedal for a short
period. The system operates when the
following conditions are met:
- The vehicle speed is under 112 mph
(180 km/h) at the time of collision.
- The brake pedal and accelerator
pedal is hardly depressed.

[When the driver steps on the brake
pedal over a certain level whilst
Multi-Collision Brake is active, the
braking power takes priority over
automatic braking by Multi-Collision
Brake system. However, if the driver
takes his/her foot off the brake pedal,
automatic braking by Multi-Collision
Brake system will maintain automatic
braking.
System off
Multi-Collision Brake is cancelled in the
following situations:
- The accelerator pedal is depressed
over a certain level.
- The vehicle stops.
- There is malfunction of ESC (Electronic
Stability Control) or system cannot
operate normally.
- Ten seconds have passed since
the brake has been controlled
automatically by Multi-Collision Brake
system.
WARNING

[Multi-Collision Brake decreases
the vehicle speed after a collision,
but it does not prevent the second
collision. You may drive away from
the collision spot to avoid other
dangerous situations by depressing
the accelerator pedal.

[After the vehicle is stopped by Multi-
Collision Brake, the system stops
controlling the brakes. Depending
on the situation, the driver should
depress the brake or the accelerator
pedal to prevent further accidents.
