Whilst driving

Electronic Stability Control

(ESC)

WARNING

If the ABS warning light (

) is on

and stays on, you may have a prob-

lem with the ABS. Your power brakes

will work normally. To reduce the

risk of serious injury or death, we

recommend that you contact

HYUNDAI authorised repairer as

soon as possible.

NOTICE

OAC3063004R

When you drive on a road having

poor traction, such as an icy road,

and apply your brakes continuously,

the ABS will be active continuously

and the ABS warning light

The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

system helps to stabilize the vehicle

during cornering manoeuvres.

ESC checks where you are steering

and where the vehicle is actually going.

(

) may illuminate. Pull your vehi-

cle over to a safe place and turn the

engine off.

ESC applies braking pressure to any

one of the vehicle’s brakes and inter-

venes in the engine management sys-

tem 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.

Restart the engine. If the ABS warn-

ing light is off, then your ABS sys-

tem is normal.

Otherwise, you may have a problem

with your ABS system. We recom-

mend that you contact a HYUNDAI

authorised repairer as soon as pos-

sible.

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.

ESC operation

ESC ON condition

When the ignition switch is in the ON

position, the ESC and the ESC OFF

indicator lights illuminate for about

three seconds. After both lights go off,

the ESC is enabled.

WARNING

Never drive too fast for the road con-

ditions or too quickly when corner-

ing. The ESC system will not prevent

accidents.

Excessive speed in turns, abrupt

manoeuvres, and hydroplaning on

wet surfaces can result in severe

accidents.

When operating

When the ESC is in opera-

tion, 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 the ESC activates, the engine

may not respond to the accelerator

as it does under routine conditions.

• If the Cruise Control was in use when

the ESC activates, the Cruise Control

automatically

disengages.

The

Cruise Control can be reengaged

when the road conditions allow. For

more information, refer to the

“Cruise Control System” in chap-

ter 7. (if equipped).

• When moving out of the mud or driv-

ing on a slippery road, the engine rpm

(revolutions per minute) may not

increase even if you press the accel-

erator pedal deeply. This is to main-

tain the stability and traction of the

vehicle and does not indicate a prob-

lem.

ESC OFF usage

When Driving

The ESC OFF mode should only be

used briefly to help free the vehicle if

stuck in snow or mud, by temporarily

stopping operation of the ESC, to main-

tain wheel torque.

To turn ESC off whilst driving, press the

ESC OFF button whilst driving on a flat

road surface.

When the ignition switch is in the ON

position, the ESC indicator light illumi-

nates, then goes off if the ESC system

is operating normally.

The ESC indicator light blinks whenev-

er the ESC is operating.

If the ESC indicator light stays on, your

vehicle may have a malfunction with

the ESC system. When this warning

light illuminates we recommend that the

vehicle be checked by a HYUNDAI

authorised repairer as soon as possi-

ble.

The ESC OFF indicator light comes on

when the ESC is turned off with the but-

ton.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the transmis-

sion:

• Do not allow wheel(s) of one axle

to spin excessively whilst the ESC,

ABS, and parking brake warning

lights are displayed. The repairs

would not be covered by the vehi-

cle warranty. Reduce engine pow-

er and do not spin the wheel(s)

excessively whilst these lights are

displayed.

WARNING

When the ESC is blinking, this indi-

cates the ESC is active:

• When operating the vehicle on a

dynamometer, make sure the ESC

is turned off (ESC OFF light illumi-

nated).

Drive slowly and NEVER attempt to

accelerate. NEVER turn the ESC off

whilst the ESC indicator light is

blinking or you may lose control of

the vehicle resulting in an accident.
