(Drive) while the function is on. i-PEDAL
is disabled and regenerative braking
level is set to 3.
CAUTION • Depending on the vehicle and road condition, the vehicle may not come to
a stop although the i-PEDAL function is
active. Check surroundings and
depress the brake pedal to control the
vehicle speed.
• Do not use i-PEDAL on slippery roads.
i-PEDAL limitations
In the following conditions, the vehicle
may not come to a stop although the
i-PEDAL is properly activated. Depress
the brake to stop the vehicle when:
• Driving on a slope, or when the vehicle is repeatedly driven and stopped.
• The vehicle is driving through the end of the slope.
• Driving on a slippery surface such as an icy, rainy, or muddy road.
• The wheels are not properly aligned.
• A wheel slip or wheel spin occurs.
• The weight on board is heavy.
• The vehicle is tilted to the side.
• The tire is worn out.
Smart Regeneration
System
The smart regeneration system
recognizes vehicle-to-vehicle distance,
road gradient, and speed cameras and
controls the regenerative braking level
while coasting. It reduces unnecessary
depressing of pedals to improve fuel
efficiency and driver convenience.
Information • Coasting is the process of driving a vehicle without the brake pedal and the accelerator
depressed. Coasting uses the inertia of
driving energy instead of the vehicle power.
• 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.
Smart Regeneration System
On/Off
Operate the paddle shifter as shown
below to use the smart regeneration
system.
• Turning on the smart regeneration system: While the indicator is on,
shift the gear to D (Drive), and pull and
hold the right paddle shifter ( ) for
over a second.

• Do not spray the sensors or the surrounding area directly with high
pressure water.
Detecting vehicle
• The front sensors may not detect the vehicle ahead or may suddenly detect
the vehicle ahead, such as when the
smart regeneration system responds
slowly, when driving on a hill ends, or
when driving through a curve. The
regenerative braking intensity may
increase and decelerate your vehicle.
• Some vehicles in your lane may not be detected by the sensors:
B6003201
- Narrow vehicles such as motorcycles or bicycles
- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden decelerating vehicles
- Vehicles with small rear profile such as trailers with no loads
• When a vehicle in front of you merges out of the lane, the front sensors may
not detect the new stopped vehicle that
is now in front of your vehicle. Driving on curves
• The front sensors may not detect the
vehicle ahead if you are coasting on a
curve. The regenerative braking
intensity may automatically decrease
and accelerate the vehicle.
B6003202
• On curves, if a vehicle is detected in an adjacent lane, the regenerative braking
intensity may increase and decelerate
your vehicle.
B6003203
• If the front sensors suddenly detect the vehicle ahead, the regenerative braking
intensity may increase and decelerate
your vehicle.

dealer.
Parking brake warning light
Check the Parking Brake warning light by
pressing the Start/Stop button to the ON
position.
This light will be illuminated when the
parking brake is applied with the
Start/Stop button in the START or ON
position.
Before driving, be sure the parking brake
is released and the Parking Brake warning
light is OFF.
If the Parking Brake warning light remains
on after the parking brake is released
while the motor is running, there may be
a malfunction in the brake system.
Immediate attention is necessary.
If at all possible, cease driving the vehicle
immediately. If that is not possible, use
extreme caution while operating the
vehicle and only continue to drive the
vehicle until you can reach a safe
location.
When the EPB (Electronic Parking
Brake) does not release
If the EPB does not release normally,
contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer by
loading the vehicle on a flatbed tow truck
and have the system inspected.
Auto Hold
Auto Hold maintains the vehicle in a
standstill even though the brake pedal is
not depressed after the driver brings the vehicle to a complete stop by depressing
the brake pedal.
To apply:
B6003901
1. With the driver's door and hood closed,
depress the brake pedal and then press
the AUTO HOLD switch. The white
AUTO HOLD indicator will come on and
the system will be in the standby
position.
B6003902(1) White
(2) Green
2. When you stop the vehicle completely by depressing the brake pedal, Auto
Hold maintains the brake pressure to
hold the vehicle stationary. The
indicator changes from white to green.
3. The vehicle will remain stationary even if you release the brake pedal.
4. If EPB is applied, Auto Hold will be released.
