Good Driving Practices
•	Never shift the gear from P (Park) or  
N (Neutral) to any other position with 
the accelerator pedal depressed.
•	 Never shift the gear into P (Park) when 
the vehicle is in motion. 
Be sure the vehicle is completely  
stopped before you attempt to shift 
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
•	 Do not shift the gear to N (Neutral) 
when driving. If the gear is shifted to 
N (Neutral) while driving. Doing so 
may increase the risk of an accident. 
Also, shift the gear back to D (Drive)  
while the vehicle is moving may 
severely damage the reduction gear.
•	 When driving uphill or downhill, 
always shift to D (Drive) for driving 
forward or shift to R (Reverse) for 
driving backwards, and check the 
gear position indicated on the cluster 
or the rotary gear shift dial before 
driving. Driving in the opposite 
direction of the selected gear, can 
lead to a dangerous situation by 
shutting off the vehicle and affecting 
the braking performance.
•	 Do not drive with your foot resting 
on the brake pedal. Even light, but 
consistent pedal pressure can result 
in the brakes overheating, brake wear 
and possibly even brake failure.
•	 Always apply the parking brake when 
leaving the vehicle. Do not depend 
on placing the shift gear in P (Park) to 
keep the vehicle from moving.
•	 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. •	
Optimum vehicle performance and 
economy is obtained by smoothly 
depressing and releasing the 
accelerator.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY  
or DEATH: •	 ALWAYS wear your seat belt. In a  
collision, an unbelted occupant 
is significantly more likely to be 
seriously injured or killed than a 
properly belted occupant.
•	 Avoid high speeds when cornering or turning.
•	 Do not make quick steering wheel 
movements, such as sharp lane 
changes or fast, sharp turns.
•	 The risk of rollover is greatly 
increased if you lose control of your 
vehicle at highway speeds.
•	 Loss of control often occurs if two or 
more wheels drop off the roadway 
and the driver over steers to reenter 
the roadway.
•	 In the event your vehicle leaves 
the roadway, do not steer sharply. 
Instead, slow down before pulling 
back into the travel lanes.
•	 HYUNDAI Vehicle recommends you 
to follow all posted speed limits.

One Pedal Driving on the steep hills, be 
sure to depress the brake pedal.
i-Pedal
i-Pedal is controlled by acceleration  
pedal. i-Pedal provides vehicle speed 
control (acceleration/deceleration, 
stopping) without manually controlling 
the paddle shifter. 
To operate:•	 Pull the left side paddle shifter to level  
3 regenerative braking system.
•	 Pull the left side paddle shifter once 
again when the regenerative braking 
level is 3.
•	 Check  i-Pedal  indicator symbol on the 
instrument cluster. 
 CAUTION
When the vehicle is stopped or parked  
by i-Pedal on the steep hills, be sure to 
depress the brake pedal.
