Driving your vehicle

Driving with wheels and tires with
different sizes may cause the VSM
system to malfunction. Before
replacing tires, make sure all four
tires and wheels are the same
size. Never drive the vehicle with
different sized tires and wheels
installed.
Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
(if equipped)
The Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
helps prevent the vehicle from rolling
backwards when starting a vehicle
from a stop on a hill. The system
operates the brakes automatically for
approximately 2 seconds and releas-
es the brake after 2 seconds or when
the accelerator pedal is depressed.
Information
• The HAC does not operate when the
shift lever is in P (Park) or N
(Neutral).
• The HAC activates even when the
ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is
off. However, it does not activate,
when the ESC does not operate nor-
mally.
Emergency Stop Signal (ESS)
(if equipped)
The Emergency Stop Signal system
alerts the driver behind by blinking
the stop lights, while sharply and
severely braking.
The system is activated when:
• The vehicle suddenly stops. (The
deceleration power exceeds 7 m/s
2
,
and the driving speed exceeds 55
km/h (34 mph).)
• The ABS is activated and the driv-
ing speed exceeds 55 km/h (34
mph).
The hazard warning flasher automat-
ically turns ON after blinking the stop
lights:
• When the driving speed is under
40 km/h (25 mph),
• When the ABS is deactivated, and
• When the sudden braking situation
is over.

NOTICE
If the ESC indicator light ( ) or
EPS warning light ( ) stays
or blinks, your vehicle may have
a malfunction with the VSM sys-
tem. When the warning light illu-
minates we recommend that the
vehicle be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.
WARNING
Always be ready to depress the
accelerator pedal when starting
off on a incline. The HAC acti-
vates only for approximately 2
seconds.
