holding the right paddle shifter ( ) for
over one second.
If the smart regeneration system does not
operate normally after the sensor has
been uncovered or unblocked, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Smart Regeneration System
Precautions
• Always monitor the distance to vehicles ahead on the road. The smart
regeneration system is not a substitute
for safe driving practices, but a
supplemental function only.
• Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicles ahead and adjust your
vehicle speed to the road conditions.
The smart regeneration system may not
recognize unexpected and sudden
situations or complex driving
situations.
General precautions
• Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicles ahead and adjust your
vehicle speed depending on the road
conditions.
• Always prepare for unexpected situations and depress the brake pedal
to decelerate when necessary. The
smart regeneration system cannot
react to pedestrians, vehicles making a
sudden stop and vehicles coming from
the opposite lane.
• If the vehicle ahead frequently changes the lane, keep your eyes forward to be
prepared for hazardous situations. In
this case, the smart regeneration
system may respond late and may
inappropriately respond to vehicle
movements from the side lanes.
• The driver must depress the brake pedal when stopping the vehicle.
• Depress the brake pedal to decelerate in the following conditions when: - The front part of the vehicle is lifted
up because of the cargo loaded on
the rear part of the vehicle.
- You are operating the steering wheel.
- You are not driving in the center of the lane.
- You are driving on a narrow or curved road.
• The smart regeneration system may be temporarily turn off when exposed to
strong electromagnetic waves.
• If the vehicle starts coasting near the speed camera and engages the brake
with the smart regeneration system,
the vehicle may not be able to keep the
speed limit. Always comply with the
road and traffic law.
Sensor precautions
• Never disassemble the radar or radar assembly, and never apply any impact
on it.
• If there is impact on or near the radar, the sensors may be damaged or not be
properly aligned near the radar, even
though a warning message does not
appear on the instrument cluster, the
Smart Regeneration System may not
operate properly. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
• If the radars have been replaced or repaired, have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Use only genuine parts to repair the bumper where the radar is located.
• Do not install a license plate frame or other objects such as bumper sticker,
film, bumper guard, or bumper wrap
near the radar.
• The Smart Regeneration System may not work properly if the bumper has
been replaced, or the surroundings of
the radar has been damaged or
painted.

brakes to overheat and could result in a
temporary loss of braking performance.
• Wet brakes may impair the vehicle's ability to safely decelerate. Because
wet brakes increase braking distance
and cause noise troubles, select 0 step
of the regenerative braking system and
depress the brake pedal around 10
times, with keeping the safe distance
from other vehicles, lightly in order to
dry the braking system. Such
procedure may decrease the driving
distance by restraining the
regenerative braking system, which is
not a system malfunction. Inspect the
braking system after car wash or
driving over wet road conditions.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
WARNING Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) or
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system
will not prevent accidents due to
improper or dangerous driving
maneuvers. Even though vehicle control
is improved during emergency braking,
always maintain a safe distance between
you and objects ahead of you. Vehicle
speeds should always be reduced during
extreme road conditions. The braking
distance for vehicles equipped with ABS
or ESC may be longer than for those
without these systems in the following
road conditions.
Drive your vehicle at reduced speeds
during the following conditions:
• Rough, gravel or snow-covered roads.
• On roads where the road surface is pitted or has different surface height.
• Tire chains are installed on your vehicle.
The safety features of ABS or ESC
equipped vehicle should not be tested by
high speed driving or cornering. This
could endanger the safety of yourself or
others.
ABS is an electronic braking system that
helps prevent a braking skid. ABS allows
the driver to steer and brake at the same
time.
Using ABS
To obtain the maximum benefit from your
ABS in an emergency situation, do not
attempt to modulate your brake pressure
and do not try to pump your brakes.
Depress your brake pedal as hard as
possible.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the wheels,
you may hear sounds from the brakes, or
feel a corresponding sensation in the brake pedal. This is normal and it means
your ABS is active.
ABS does not reduce the time or distance
it takes to stop the vehicle.
Always maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you.
ABS will not prevent a skid that results
from sudden changes in direction, such
as trying to take a corner too fast or
making a sudden lane change. Always
drive at a safe speed for the road and
weather conditions.
ABS cannot prevent a loss of stability.
Always steer moderately when braking
hard. Severe or sharp steering wheel
movement can still cause your vehicle to
veer into oncoming traffic or off the road.
On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock brake system
may result in a longer stopping distance
than for vehicles equipped with a
conventional brake system.
The ABS ( ) warning light will stay on
for several seconds after the Start/Stop
button is in the ON position.
During that time, ABS will go through
self-diagnosis and the light will go off if
everything is normal. If the light stays on,
you may have a problem with your ABS.
Contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.
WARNING
If the ABS ( ) warning light is on and
stays on, you may have a problem with
the ABS. Your power brakes will work
normally. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, contact your authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.

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.

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.

Tire chains (Wire chains)
B6015201
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are
thinner than other types of tires, they may
be damaged by mounting some types of
tire chains on them. Therefore, the use of
snow tires is recommended instead of tire
chains. If tire chains must be used, use
genuine Hyundai parts and install the tire
chain after reviewing the instructions
provided with the tire chains. Damage to
your vehicle caused by improper tire
chain use is not covered by your vehicle
manufacturer’s warranty.
When using tire chains, install tire chains
only on the rear tires.
WARNING The use of tire chains may adversely
affect vehicle handling:
• Drive less than 20 mph (30 km/h) or the chain manufacturer’s recommended
speed limit, whichever is lower.
• Drive carefully and avoid bumps, holes, sharp turns, and other road hazards,
which may cause the vehicle to
bounce.
• Avoid sharp turns or locked wheel braking.
Information • Install tire chains only in pairs and on the rear tires. It should be noted that installing
tire chains on the tires will provide a greater
driving force, but will not prevent side
skids.
• Do not install studded tires without first checking local and municipal regulations
for possible restrictions against their use.
Tire chains (Auto sock)
B6015202
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are
thinner, they can be damaged by
mounting some types of snow chains on
them. Therefore, the use of snow tires is
recommended instead of snow chains.
Do not mount tire chains on vehicle
equipped with aluminum wheels; snow
chains may cause damage to the wheels.
If snow chains must be used, use
AutoSock (fabric snow chain). Damage to
your vehicle caused by improper snow
chain use is not covered by your vehicle
manufacturer’s warranty.
When using tire chains, install tire chains
only on the rear tires.

Check battery and cables
Winter temperatures affect battery
performance. Inspect the battery and
cables, as specified in chapter 9. The
battery charging level can be inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer or in a
service station.
To prevent locks from freezing
Spray approved de-icing fluid or glycerin
into key holes. When a lock opening is
already covered with ice, spray approved
de-icing fluid over the ice to remove it.
When an internal part of a lock freezes, try
to thaw it with a heated key. Carefully use
the heated key to avoid an injury.
Use approved window washer anti-freeze
solution
Add authorized window washer
anti-freeze solution, as specified on the
window washer container. Window
washer anti-freeze solution is available
from an authorized HYUNDAI dealer, and
most vehicle accessory outlets. Do not
use coolant or other types of anti-freeze
solution, to prevent any damage to the
vehicle paint.
Do not let your parking brake freeze
Under some conditions, your parking
brake may freeze in the engaged position.
This is most likely to happen when there is
an accumulation of snow or ice around or
near the rear brakes or the brakes are wet.
When there is the risk that your parking
brake may freeze: temporarily apply the
parking brake with the gear in P (Park),
then block the rear wheels, and then
release the parking brake.Do not let ice and snow accumulate
underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
may build up under the fenders and
interfere with the steering. When driving
in such conditions during the severe
winter, check underneath the vehicle on a
regular basis, to make sure that the front
wheels and the steering components are
not blocked.
Carry emergency equipment
In accordance with weather conditions,
carry appropriate emergency equipment,
while driving. Some of the items you may
want to carry include tire chains, tow
straps or chains, flashlight, emergency
flares, sand, shovel, jumper cables,
window scraper, gloves, ground cloth,
coveralls, blanket, etc.
Do not place objects or materials in the
motor compartment
Putting objects or materials in the motor
compartment may cause a motor failure.
Such damage is not be covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty.
