Before Driving
Before Entering the Vehicle
• Make sure all windows, outer side mirror(s), and outside lights are clean
and unobstructed.
• Remove frost, snow, or ice from both the front and rear windshield as well as
the front side windows.
• Visually check the tires for uneven wear and damage.
• Check under the vehicle for any sign of leaks.
• Make sure there are no obstacles behind you if you intend to back up.
Before Starting
• Make sure the hood, the trunk, and the doors are securely closed and locked.
• Adjust the position of the seat and steering wheel.
• Adjust the inside rearview mirror and outer side view mirrors.
• Verify all the lights work.
• Fasten your seat belt. Check that all passengers have fastened their seat
belts.
• Check the gauges and indicators in the instrument panel and the messages on
the cluster display when the vehicle is
in the ON position.
• Check that any items you are carrying are stored properly or fastened down
securely.
WARNING To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH, take the following precautions:
• ALWAYS wear your seat belt. All passengers must be properly belted
whenever the vehicle is moving. For
more information, refer to the “Seat
Belts” section in chapter 3. • Always drive defensively. Assume other
drivers or pedestrians may be careless
and make mistakes.
• Stay focused on the task of driving. Driver distraction can cause accidents.
• Leave plenty of space between you and the vehicle in front of you.

WARNING NEVER drink or take drugs and drive.
Drinking or taking drugs and driving is
dangerous and may result in an accident
and SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.
Drunk driving is the number one
contributor to the highway death toll each
year. Even a small amount of alcohol will
affect your reflexes, perceptions and
judgment. Just one drink can reduce your
ability to respond to changing conditions
and emergencies. Your reaction time gets
worse with each additional drink.
Driving while under the influence of drugs
is as dangerous or more dangerous than
driving under the influence of alcohol.
You are much more likely to have a
serious accident if you drink or take drugs
and drive. If you are drinking or taking
drugs, don’t drive. Do not ride with a
driver who has been drinking or taking
drugs. Choose a designated driver or call
a taxi.

• 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 pedal.
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.

Regenerative Braking
System (Paddle Shifter)
Regenerative braking system operates
the paddle shifter to control the
regenerative braking intensity of the
vehicle. It improves the fuel efficiency of
the vehicle and helps the driver to have a
better driving experience.
Information The regenerative braking system uses the
electric motor to engage the brake. The
electric motor converts the kinetic energy
generated from decelerating the vehicle to
electricity and charges the high voltage
battery.

Using Regenerative Braking
System
Operating paddle shifter
Operate the paddle shifter as shown
below to use the regenerative braking
system.

• Pull the left paddle shifter ( ) once to raise the regenerative braking intensity
level by 1. It will increase decelerating
intensity.
• Pull the right paddle shifter ( ) once to lower the regenerative braking
