Using one pedal driving
Pull and hold the left paddle shifter ( )
for over 0.5 seconds while coasting to
enable the one pedal driving mode.
• Release the paddle shifter when the vehicle speed is above 1.8 mph (3 km/h)
to return to the previously set
regenerative braking level.
• If the vehicle speed is below 1.8 mph (3 km/h), the vehicle will keep engaging
the brake although the driver releases
the paddle shifter.
• Releasing the paddle shifter after the vehicle comes to a stop will maintain
the vehicle stationary.
CAUTION • The vehicle may not come to a stop although the one pedal driving function
is active, depending on the condition of
the vehicle and the road. Check the
surroundings and depress the brake
pedal to decelerate.
• If the driver depresses the accelerator pedal while pulling and holding the left
paddle shifter ( ) to increase the
braking level, one pedal driving
function operates same as i-PEDAL
function. In this case, the vehicle speed
is no longer controllable through the
paddle shifter.

One pedal driving limitations
In the following conditions, the vehicle
may not come to a stop although the one
pedal driving function is active. Depress
the brake pedal 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 one side.
• The tire is worn out.
Automatic engagement of EPB
Use one pedal driving function to bring
the vehicle to a stop and automatically
engage the Electronic Parking Brake
(EPB).
After the vehicle is stopped, EPB is
automatically applied when any of the
following conditions are satisfied:
• The driver’s seatbelt is unfastened and
the driver’s door is open.
• The gear shifts to N (Neutral).
• The hood is open.
• The trunk is open.
• 5 minutes have passed after the vehicle has stopped.
• One pedal driving is limited due to other reasons.
Using i-PEDAL
i-PEDAL assists the driver to accelerate,
decelerate, and stop the vehicle with only
the accelerator pedal.
Turning on/off the i-PEDAL
• Turning on i-PEDAL:
Pull the left paddle shifter ( ) once
when the regenerative braking level is
at 3. i-PEDAL is turned on and the
instrument cluster displays the
‘i-PEDAL’ message. i-PEDAL is not
available while the smart regeneration
system is on. Turn off the smart
regeneration system first before using
i-PEDAL.
• Turning off i-PEDAL: Pull the right paddle shifter ( ) once
while the function is on. Otherwise,
shift the gear to R (Reverse) then to D

(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.

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.

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.

Information When you jump start your vehicle because of
a drained battery, the ABS ( ) warning
light may turn on at the same time. This
happens because of the low battery voltage. It
does not mean your ABS is malfunctioning.
Have the battery recharged before driving the
vehicle.

Electronic Stability Control
(ESC)
B6004101
Electronic Stability Control helps to
stabilize the vehicle during cornering
maneuvers.ESC checks where you are steering and
where the vehicle is actually going. ESC
applies braking pressure to any one of the
vehicle's brakes and intervenes in the
electric vehicle control system to assist
the driver with keeping the vehicle on the
intended path. It is not a substitute for
safe driving practices. Always adjust your
speed and driving to the road conditions.
WARNING Never drive too fast for the road
conditions when cornering. ESC will not
prevent accidents.
Excessive speed in turns, abrupt
maneuvers, and hydroplaning on wet
surfaces can result in severe accidents.

ESC operation
ESC ON condition
When the Start/Stop button is in the ON
position, ESC and the ESC OFF indicator
lights illuminate for about 3 seconds.
After both lights go off, ESC is enabled.
When operating
When ESC is in operation, the ESC
indicator light blinks:
• 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 ESC is active.
• When ESC activates, the vehicle may not respond to the accelerator as it
does under routine conditions.

• If Smart Cruise Control was in use when ESC activates, Smart Cruise Control
automatically disengages. Smart Cruise
Control can be reengaged when the
road conditions allow. For more
information, refer to the “Smart Cruise
Control (SCC)” section in chapter 7.
ESC OFF condition
To cancel ESC operation:
• State 1 Press the ESC OFF button briefly. The
ESC OFF indicator light and/or message
'Traction Control disabled' will
illuminate. In this state, the traction
control function of ESC (electric vehicle
control management) is disabled, but
the brake control function of ESC
(braking management) still operates.
• State 2 Press and hold the ESC OFF button
continuously for more than 3 seconds.
The ESC OFF indicator light and/or
message 'Traction & Stability Control
disabled' illuminates and a warning
chime sounds. In this state, both the
traction control function of ESC
(electric vehicle control management)
and the brake control function of ESC
(braking management) are disabled.
If the Start/Stop button is pressed to
the OFF position when ESC is off, ESC
remains off. Upon restarting the
vehicle, ESC will automatically turn on
again.
When ESC (electric vehicle control) is
deactivated, the vehicle will lose the
traction and stability if the vehicle is
driven by abrupt steering wheel
control. It is possible that the tire may
make a collision with the connected parts of the tire. Do not turn off ESC
while driving the vehicle for your safety.
Indicator lights
ESC indicator light (blinks)
ESC OFF indicator light (comes on)
When the Start/Stop button is pressed to

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.
