WARNING
If AWD warning light () stays on the
instrument cluster, your vehicle may
have a malfunction with the AWD
system. When the AWD warning light
(
) illuminates have vehicle checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.
NOTICE

[ Maintain AWD Auto mode when
driving on roads in normal
conditions.

[ When driving under normal road
conditions (especially when
cornering) in AWD Lock mode, a
driver may find minor mechanical
vibration or noise, which is extremely
normal phenomenon, not a
malfunction. When AWD Lock mode
is released, such noise or vibration
will be immediately gone.
CAUTION
When driving on normal roads,
deactivate the AWD LOCK mode by
pushing the AWD LOCK button (AWD
LOCK indicator light goes off). Driving
on normal roads with the AWD LOCK
mode, especially, when cornering
may cause mechanical noise or
vibration. The noise and vibration will
disappear when the AWD LOCK mode is
deactivated. Prolonged driving with the
noise and vibration may damage some
parts of the power train.
NOTICE
When the AWD LOCK mode is
deactivated, a sensation may be felt as
the driving power is delivered entirely
to the front wheels.
Auto All Wheel Drive mode
(normal driving)
If the AWD system determines there is a
need for four wheel drive, the engine's
driving power is distributed to all four
wheels automatically.
For safe AWD operation
Before driving

[Mak
e sure all passengers are wearing
seat belts.

[ Sit upright and closer to the steering
wheel than usual. Adjust the steering
wheel to a position comfortable for
you to drive.

SPORT mode
SPORT mode provides sporty
but firm riding.
In SPORT mode, the fuel
efficiency may decrease.

[ When SPORT mode is selected, the
SPORT indicator will illuminate on the
instrument cluster.

[ Whenever the engine is restarted, the
drive mode will revert back to ECO
mode. If SPORT mode is desired, re-
select SPORT mode.

[ When SPORT mode is activated:
- The engine RPM will tend to remain raised over a certain length of time
even after releasing the accelerator
- Upshifts are delayed when accelerating
SNOW Mode (if equipped)
SNOW mode offers special traction
tuning for snow optimizing available
traction in adverse conditions. Snow
mode adjusts left and right wheel slip
control, engine torque and shift patterns
according to available traction levels.
SMART mode
SMART mode selects the
proper driving mode between
ECO and SPORT by judging
the driver's driving habits (for
example, mild or dynamic) from
the brake pedal depression or
the steering wheel operation.

[ Press the DRIVE MODE button to
activate SMART mode. When SMART
mode is activated, the indicator
illuminates on the instrument cluster.

[ The vehicle starts in SMART mode,
when the engine was turned OFF in
SMART mode.

[ SMART mode automatically controls
gear shifting patterns, engine torque,
in accordance with the driver's driving
habits.
Information

[When your vehicle drive mode
is selected to SMART mode, the
driving mode varies according to
your acceleration pedal input. When
your vehicle is in SMART mode and
your driving style is such that your
acceleration pedal input is gradual,
the drive mode will maximize fuel
efficiency. Note, however, the actual
fuel efficiency may vary according
to certain driving conditions (uphill/
downhill grade) and vehicle speed.

[ When your vehicle is in SMART
mode and your driving style is more
aggressive such that your acceleration
pedal input is more abrupt, the drive
mode will change to reflect a more
SPORT driving characteristic. Note
that while you are driving this way, fuel
economy may be adversely affected.

the vehicle.
• Never deliberately operate Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist on people,
objects, etc. It may cause serious
injury or death.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not operate if the driver
depresses the brake pedal to avoid
collision.
• Depending on the road and driving
conditions, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist may warn the driver
late or may not warn the driver.
• During Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist operation, the vehicle may
stop suddenly injuring passengers
and shifting loose objects. Always
have the seat belt on and keep loose
objects secured.

warning will sound.
• When the turn signal is turned off or you move away from the lane, the
collision warning will be canceled and
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
will return to vehicle detection state.
WARNING
• The detecting range of the rear
corner radar is determined by a
standard road width, therefore, on
a narrow road, Blind-Spot Collision-
Avoidance Assist may detect other
vehicles in the next next lane and
warn you. In contrast, on a wide
road, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not be able to detect a
vehicle driving in the next lane and
may not warn you.
• When the hazard warning flasher is
on, the collision warning by the turn
signal will not operate.
Information
• If the driver's seat is on the left side, the
collision warning may occur when you
turn left. Maintain a proper distance
