Windshield Defrosting
and Defogging
WARNING Windshield heating
Do not use the position during cooling
operation in extremely humid weather.
The difference between the temperature
of the outside air and that of the
windshield could cause the outer surface
of the windshield to fog up, causing loss
of visibility could cause an accident
resulting in serious injury or death. In this
case, set the mode selection to the
position and fan speed control to a lower
speed.

• For maximum defrost performance, set the temperature control to the highest
temperature setting and the fan speed
control to the highest setting.
• If warm air to the floor is desired while defrosting or defogging, set the mode
to the floor-defrost position.
• Before driving, clear all snow and ice from the windshield, rear window, side
view mirrors, and all side windows.
• Clear all snow and ice from the hood and air inlet in the cowl grill to improve
heater and defroster efficiency and to
reduce the probability of fogging up the
inside of the windshield.

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 moving. Completely
stop before shifting 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 gear.
• Never attempt to select a gear that is opposite the direction of the vehicle
motion. Check the gear position before
driving. Stop the vehicle before shifting
to the desired gear. The vehicle may
turn off, causing a collision.
• 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.

BAS operation
• When the vehicle speed is more than 18 mph (30 km/h) and the ABS control is
not entered.
• When the brake pedal is depressed strongly over a certain level.
• When the friction of the road surface is above a certain level.
BAS operation off
• The vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h).
• The brake pedal is depressed over a certain conditions.
• The friction of the road surface is below a certain level.
WARNING The system may not operate depending
on driver's driving habit, the degree to
which the brake pedal is depressed and
the road surface condition.

Good Braking Practices
WARNING Whenever leaving the vehicle or parking,
always come to a complete stop and
continue to depress the brake pedal. Shift
the gear to the P (Park) position, then
apply the parking brake, and press the
Start/Stop button to the OFF position.
Vehicles parked with the parking brake
not applied or not fully engaged may roll
inadvertently and may cause injury to the
driver and others. ALWAYS apply the
parking brake before exiting the vehicle.

Be aware of wet brakes. The brakes may
get wet if the vehicle is driven through
standing water or if it is washed. Your
vehicle will not stop as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet brakes may cause the
vehicle to pull to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes lightly
until the braking action returns to normal.
If the braking action does not return to
normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do so
and call an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
for assistance.
DO NOT drive with your foot resting on
the brake pedal. Even light, but constant
pedal pressure can result in the brakes
overheating, brake wear, and possibly
even brake failure.
If a tire goes flat while you are driving,
apply the brakes gently and keep the
vehicle pointed straight ahead while you
slow down. When you are moving slowly
enough for it to be safe to do so, pull off
the road and stop in a safe location.
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal
when the vehicle is stopped to prevent
the vehicle from rolling forward.

Driving Your Vehicle

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
