Driving your vehicle
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH, take the fol-
lowing precautions:
NEVER allow children or any
person who is unfamiliar with
the vehicle to touch the
POWER button or related
parts. Unexpected and sud-
den vehicle movement can
occur.
NEVER reach through the
steering wheel for the POWER
button or any other control,
while the vehicle is in motion.
The presence of your hand or
arm in this area may cause a
loss of vehicle control result-ing in an accident.
WARNING
OFE058001
To turn the vehicle off in an
emergency:
Press and hold the POWER but-
ton for more than two seconds
OR Rapidly press and release
the POWER button three times(within three seconds).
If the vehicle is still moving, you
can restart the vehicle without
depressing the brake pedal by
pressing the POWER button
with the gear in the N (Neutral)position.
WARNING
NEVER press the POWER but-
ton while the vehicle is in
motion except in an emer-
gency. This will result in the
vehicle turning off and loss of
power assist for the steering
and brake systems. This maylead to loss of directional con-
trol and braking function,
which could cause an accident.
Before leaving the driver's seat,
always make sure the gear is in
the P (Park) position, set the
parking brake, press the
POWER button to the OFF posi-
tion, and take the Smart Key
with you. Unexpected vehicle
movement may occur if these
precautions are not followed.

Driving your vehicle
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park).
To shift the gear from R (Reverse), N
(Neutral) or D (Drive) to P (Park),
press the [P] button.
If you turn off the vehicle in D (Drive)
or R (Reverse), the gear automatical-
ly shifts to P (Park).
R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
To shift to R (Reverse), press the [R]
button while depressing the brakepedal.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and gear are not engaged.
To shift to N (Neutral), press the [N]
button while depressing the brakepedal.
Always depress the brake pedal
when you are shifting from N
(Neutral) to another gear.
In N (Neutral), if the driver attempts
to turn off the vehicle, the gear
remains in N (Neutral) and the
POWER button will be in the ACCposition.
To turn off the vehicle from the ACC
position, press the [P] button within 3
minutes. The vehicle will shift to P
(Park) and turn off.When the driver’s door is opened
within 3 minutes with the POWER
button in the ACC position and the
gear in N (Neutral), the vehicle is
automatically turned OFF and shifted
to the P (Park) position.
D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position.
To shift to D (Drive), press the [D]
button while depressing the brakepedal.
Shifting into P (Park) while the
vehicle is in motion may
cause you to lose control of
the vehicle.
After the vehicle has stopped,
always make sure the gear is
in P (Park), apply the parking
brake, and turn the vehicle off.
Do not use the P (Park) posi- tion in place of the parking
brake.

Driving your vehicle
Good Driving Practices
Never shift to P (Park) or N(Neutral) to any other position with
the accelerator pedal depressed.
Never shift to P (Park) when the vehicle is in motion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
Do not shift to N (Neutral) when driving. Doing so may result in anaccident.
Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. Even light, butconsistent pedal pressure can
result in the brakes overheating,
brake wear and possibly even
brake failure.
Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle. Do notdepend on placing the 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 controlresulting in an accident
Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothlydepressing and releasing the
accelerator.
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 belt-ed occupant.
Avoid high speeds when cor- nering or turning.
Do not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,sharp turns.
WARNING
The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control
of your vehicle at highwayspeeds.
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 recommends you
follow all posted speed limits.
Driving uphill or downhill,
always shift to D (Drive) when
driving forward or to R
(Reverse) when driving back-
wards, and check the gear
position indicated on the clus-
ter before driving. If you drivein the opposite direction of
the selected gear, the vehiclewill turn off and a seriousaccident might be occurreddue to the degraded brake
performance.

5-18
Power Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted
brakes that adjust automatically
through normal usage.
If the power is not supplied such as
battery discharge, the power assist
for the brakes will not work. You can
still stop your vehicle by applying
greater force to the brake pedal than
typical. The stopping distance, how-
ever, will be longer than with power
brakes.
Do not pump the brake pedal when
the power assist has been interrupt-ed.
Pump the brake pedal only when
necessary to maintain steering con-
trol on slippery surfaces.
BBRRAA KKIINN GG SS YY SSTT EEMM
Driving your vehicle
Take the following precautions:
Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal.This will create abnormal high
brake temperatures, exces-sive brake lining and pad
wear, and increased stoppingdistances.
When descending down a
long or steep hill, use the pad-
dle shifter (left side lever) to
increase regenerative braking
control in order to control
your speed without using the
brake pedal excessively.
Applying the brakes continu-
ously will cause the brakes to
overheat and could result in a
temporary loss of braking per-
formance.
Wet brakes may impair the
vehicle's ability to safely slow
down; the vehicle may alsopull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Applying
the brakes lightly will indicate
whether they have been
affected in this way. Always
test your brakes in this fash-
ion after driving through deep
water. To dry the brakes, light-
ly tap the brake pedal to heatup the brakes while maintain-
ing a safe forward speed until
brake performance returns to
normal. Avoid driving at highspeeds until the brakes func-
tion correctly.WARNING

Do not continue depressing thebrake pedal if the " "indica-
tor is OFF. The battery may be
discharged.
Noise and vibration generated during braking is normal.
Under normal operation, electric brake pump noise and motor
vibration may occur temporarily
in below cases.
- When the pedal is depressedsuddenly.
- When the pedal is repeatedly depressed in short intervals.
- When the ABS function is acti- vated while braking.
Disc Brake Wear Indicator
When your brake pads are worn and
new pads are required, you will hear
a high pitched warning sound from
your front or rear brakes. You mayhear this sound come and go or it
may occur whenever you depress
the brake pedal.
Note that some driving conditions or
climates may cause a brake squeal
when you first apply (or lightly apply)
the brakes. This is normal and does
not indicate a problem with your
brakes.
To avoid costly brake repairs, do
not continue to drive with wornbrake pads.
Information
Always replace brake pads as com-
plete front or rear axle sets.
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB)
