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.

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
