Information • Turning ESC off does not affect ABS or standard brake system operation.
• Select 0 step of the regenerative braking system and depress the brake pedal around
10 times to efficiently apply brake disc
cleaning.
Brake disc cleaning may decrease the
driving distance by restraining the regenerative braking system. After brake
disc cleaning, the regenerative braking
system may be restored.
If the regenerative braking system is not
restored after the brake disc cleaning, have
the vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM)
Vehicle Stability Management is a
function of the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system. It helps the vehicle
stay 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 Vehicle Stability Management:
• ALWAYS check the speed and the distance to the vehicle ahead. VSM is
not a substitute for safe driving
practices.
• Never drive too fast for the road conditions. VSM will not prevent
accidents. Excessive speed in bad
weather, on slippery and uneven roads
can result in severe accidents.
VSM operation
When operating
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may activate ESC, you
may hear sounds from the brakes, or feel
a corresponding sensation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and it means your
VSM is active.

if equipped
All Wheel Drive (AWD)
When All Wheel Drive(AWD) is activated,
driving forces are distributed
appropriately to front and rear wheels. It
could improve driving performance by
maximizing the driving force of vehicles
on severe road conditions such as steep
hills, unpaved, slippery, etc.
Advantage of electronic AWD
1. Improvement of straight stability
2. Improvement of driving performance on curve
3. Secure stability on severe condition such as wet and sandy roads.
4. Improvement of energy efficiency from driving mode automatic control.
Information AWD vehicles could change the engagement
status of the motor according to the situation
required. Auto changing the driving
mode(2WD/AWD)helps improve energy
efficiency and driving stability.
WARNING To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH:
• 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 a 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.

For safe AWD operation
Before driving
• Make sure all passengers are wearing seat belts.
• Sit upright and closer to the steering wheel than usual. Adjust the steering
wheel to a position comfortable for you
to drive.
Driving on snow-covered or icy roads
• Start off slowly by applying the accelerator pedal gently.
• Use snow tires or tire chains.
• Keep sufficient distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.

• Using regenerative braking helps the steering on the downhill. However, it
may be difficult to adjust the vehicle
while coasting using regenerative
braking, so avoid using the third level of
regenerative braking as much as
possible.
• Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and sharp
turns to prevent skids.
• It is difficult to start again if the vehicle stops on an uphill road. Keep your
distance from other vehicles and drive
slowly.
Information When using Snow Tires, mount them on all
four wheels.
When using tire chains, install them on the
rear tires.
However, driving speed must be below 18
mph (30 km/h) and minimize the driving
distance. High-speed or long-term driving
with tire chains installed may malfunction or
damage the AWD system.
For more information on Snow Tires and Tire
Chains, refer to the "Winter Driving" section
later in this chapter.
Driving in sand or mud
• Maintain slow and constant speed.
• Use tire chains driving in mud if necessary.
• Keep sufficient distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.
• Reduce vehicle speed and always check the road condition.
• Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and sharp
turns to prevent getting stuck.

Driving up or down hills
• Driving uphill
- Before starting off, check if it is possible to drive uphill.
- Drive as straight as possible.
• Driving downhill - Do not change gear while driving downhill. Select gear before driving
downhill.
- Drive straight as possible.
WARNING Exercise extreme caution driving up or
down steep hills. The vehicle may flip over
depending on the grade, terrain, water
and mud conditions.
WARNING Do not drive across the contour of steep
hills. A slight change in the wheel angle
can destabilize the vehicle, or a stable
vehicle may lose stability if the vehicle
stops its forward motion. Your vehicle
may roll over and lead to a serious injury
or death.
Driving through water
• Try to avoid driving in deep standing water.
• Do not change gear while driving in water.

Driving Your Vehicle
6-38
CAUTION Always drive slowly in water. If you drive
too fast, water may get into the motor
compartment, causing your vehicle to
suddenly stop.
Additional driving conditions
• Become familiar with the off-road conditions before driving.
• Always pay attention when driving off-road and avoid dangerous areas.
• Drive slowly when driving in heavy wind.
• Reduce vehicle speed when cornering. The center of gravity of AWD vehicles is
higher than conventional 2WD vehicles,
making them more likely to roll over
when you rapidly turn corners.
• Always hold the steering wheel firmly when you are driving off-road.
WARNING Do not grab the inside of the steering
wheel when you are driving off-road. You
may hurt your arm by a sudden steering
maneuver or from steering wheel
rebound due to an impact with objects on
the ground. You could lose control of the
steering wheel which may lead to serious
injury or death.
Emergency Precautions
Tires
When replacing tires, be sure to equip all
four tires with the same size, type, tread
patterns, brand and load-carrying
capacity.
WARNING Do not use tire and wheel with different
size and type from the one originally
installed on your vehicle. It can affect the
safety and performance of your vehicle,
which could lead to steering failure or
rollover causing serious injury.
WARNING
B6005201
Never start or run the vehicle while an
AWD vehicle is raised on a jack. The
vehicle can slip or roll off of a jack causing
serious injury or death to you or those
nearby.
Towing
AWD vehicles must be towed with a
wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment with all the wheels off the
ground. For more information, refer to the
"Towing" section in chapter 8.
Vehicle inspection
• If the vehicle needs to be operated on a vehicle lift do not attempt to stop any of
the four wheels from turning. This could
damage the AWD system.
• Never engage the parking brake while running the vehicle on a car lift. This
may damage the AWD system.

Information The infotainment system may change after
software updates. For more information, refer
to the user's manual provided in the
infotainment system and the quick reference
guide.
Special Driving
Conditions
Hazardous Driving Conditions
When hazardous driving elements are
encountered such as water, snow, ice,
mud and sand, take the following
precautions:
• Drive cautiously and maintain a longer braking distance.
• Avoid abrupt braking or steering.
• When your vehicle is stuck in snow, mud, or sand, accelerate slowly to
avoid unnecessary wheel spin.
• Put sand, rock salt, tire chains or other non-slip materials under the wheels to
provide additional traction while the
vehicle becomes stuck in ice, snow, or
mud.
WARNING Changing the tire speed suddenly could
cause the tires to skid while driving on
slippery surface. Be careful when driving
on slippery surfaces.

Rocking the Vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to free
it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn the
steering wheel right and left to clear the
area around your front wheels. Then, shift
back and forth between R (Reverse) and a
forward gear.
Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and do
not race the vehicle.
To prevent gear wear, wait until the
wheels stop spinning before shifting
gears. Release the accelerator pedal
while shifting, and press lightly on the
accelerator pedal while the vehicle is in
gear. Slowly spinning the wheels in
forward and reverse directions causes a
rocking motion that may free the vehicle.
WARNING Always turn off the ESC system before
rocking the vehicle. If the vehicle is stuck
and excessive wheel spin occurs, the
temperature in the tires may increase
very quickly. If the tires become
damaged, a tire blow out or tire explosion
may occur - you and others may be
injured. Do not attempt this procedure if
people or objects are near the vehicle.
If you attempt to free the vehicle, the
vehicle may overheat quickly, possibly
causing a motor compartment fire or
other damage. Try to avoid spinning the
wheels as much as possible to prevent
overheating of the tires or the motor. DO
NOT allow the vehicle to spin the wheels
above 35 mph (56 km/h).
If you are still stuck after rocking the
vehicle a few times, have the vehicle
pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid motor
overheating, possible damage to the
transmission, and tire damage. Refer to
the “Towing” section in chapter 8.
Smooth Cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are wet.
Ideally, cornering should be taken under
gentle acceleration.
Driving at Night
Night driving presents more hazards than
driving in the daylight. Here are some
important tips to remember:
• Slow down and keep more distance between you and other vehicles, as it
may be more difficult to see at night,
especially in areas where there may not
be any street lights.
• Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare from other drivers’ headlights.
• Keep your headlights clean and properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlights will make it much
more difficult to see at night.
• Avoid staring directly at the headlights of oncoming vehicles. You could be
temporarily blinded, and it will take
several seconds for your eyes to
readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. When driving in the rain or on
slick pavement:
• Slow down and allow extra following distance. A heavy rainfall makes it
harder to see and increases the
distance needed to stop your vehicle.
• Turn OFF your Smart Cruise Control.
• Replace your windshield wiper blades when they show signs of streaking or
missing areas on the windshield.
• Make sure your tires have enough tread. If your tires do not have enough
tread, making a quick stop on wet
pavement may cause a skid and
possibly lead to a collision. Refer to the
Hyundai_CE_en_US.book Page 46

“Tire Replacement” section in Chapter
9.
• Turn on your headlights to make it easier for others to see you. Using your
headlights when using your windshield
wipers is required in some jurisdictions.
• Driving too fast through large puddles may affect your brakes. If you must go
through puddles, try to drive through
them slowly.
• If you believe your brakes are wet, apply them several times while the
vehicle is moving slowly.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may have
little or no contact with the road surface
and actually ride on the water. The best
advice is SLOW DOWN when the road is
wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increases as the
depth of tire tread decreases, For more
information, refer to the “Tire
Replacement” section in chapter 9.
Driving in Flooded Areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is not
deeper than the bottom of the wheel hub.
If you are not sure, turn around and find a
different route. Drive through any water
slowly. Allow adequate stopping distance
because the brake performance can be
reduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them several
times while the vehicle is moving slowly.
Highway Driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation pressure, as
specified. Under-inflation may overheat
or damage the tires.
Do not install worn-out or damaged tires,
which may reduce traction or fail.
Information Never over-inflate your tires above the
maximum inflation pressure, as specified on
your tires.
Coolant and high voltage battery
Driving at higher speeds on the highway
consumes more electric energy and is
less efficient than driving at a slower,
more moderate speed. Maintain a
moderate speed in order to conserve
electric energy when driving on the
highway.
Be sure to check both the coolant level
and the electric energy level before
driving.

Winter Driving
The severe weather conditions of winter
quickly wear out tires and cause other
problems. To minimize 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. 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 install tire chains on your
tires.
Always carry emergency equipment.
Some of the items you may want to carry
include tire 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 tires
WARNING Snow tires should be equivalent in size
and type to the vehicle’s standard tires.
Otherwise, the safety and handling of
your vehicle may be adversely affected.
If you mount snow tires on your vehicle,
make sure to use radial tires of the same
size and load range as the original tires.
Mount snow tires on all four wheels to
balance your vehicle’s handling in all
weather conditions. The traction
provided by snow tires on dry roads may
not be as high as your vehicle’s original
equipment tires. Check with the tire dealer for maximum speed
recommendations.
Information Do not install studded tires without first
checking local and municipal regulations for
possible restrictions against their use.
Summer tires
• Summer tires are used to maximize the
driving performance on dry roads.
• If the temperature is below 45 °F (7 °C) or you are driving on snowy or icy
roads, the summer tires lose their brake
performance and traction as the tire
grip weakens significantly.
• If the temperature is below 45 °F (7 °C) or you are driving on snowy or icy
roads, mount snow tires or all-season
tires of the same size with your
vehicle’s standard tire for safe driving.
Both snow and all-season tires have
M+S markings.
• When using the M+S tires, use tires with the same tread produced by the same
manufacturer for safe driving.
• When driving with the M+S tires with the lower maximum allowable speed
than that of the vehicle’s standard
summer tire, be careful not to exceed
the speed allowed for the M+S tires.
