When the ignition switch is in the
ON position, the ESC indicator light
illuminates, then goes off if the ESC
system is operating normally.
The ESC indicator light blinks whenever
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 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.

The severe weather conditions of winter
quickly wear out tyres and cause other
problems. To minimise winter driving
problems, you should take the following
suggestions:
Snow or icy conditions
You need to keep sufficient distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front of you.
Apply the brakes gently. Speeding, rapid
acceleration, sudden brake applications,
and sharp turns are potentially
very hazardous practices. During
deceleration, use engine braking to the
fullest extent. Sudden brake applications
on snowy or icy roads may cause the
vehicle to skid.
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it
may be necessary to use snow tyres or
to install tyre chains on your tyres.
Always carry emergency equipment.
Some of the items you may want to
carry include tyre chains, tow straps or
chains, a flashlight, emergency flares,
sand, a shovel, jumper cables, a window
scraper, gloves, ground cloth, coveralls,
a blanket, etc.
Snow tyres
WARNING
Snow tyres should be equivalent
in size and type to the vehicle’s
standard tyres. Otherwise, the safety
and handling of your vehicle may be
adversely affected.
If you mount snow tyres on your vehicle,
make sure to use radial tyres of the same
size and load range as the original tyres.
Mount snow tyres on all four wheels
to balance your vehicle’s handling in
all weather conditions. The traction
provided by snow tyres on dry roads
may not be as high as your vehicle’s
original equipment tyres. Check with
the tyre dealer for maximum speed
recommendations.
