Keep the clutch pedal and brake pedal depressed while turning the ignition switch to the start position. Automatic Transaxle - Place the transaxle shift lever in P (Park). Depress the brake pedal fully. You can also start the engine when the shift lever is in the N (Neutral) position. 5 5 CAUTION Do not engage the starter for more than 10 seconds.If the engine stalls or fails to start,wait 5 to 10 seconds before re-engaging the starter. Improper use of the starter may damage it. Driving your vehicle 3. Turn the ignition switch to START and hold it there until the engine starts (a maximum of 10 seconds), then release the key. 4. In extremely cold weather (below 0°F / -18°C) or after the vehicle has not been operated for several days, let the engine warm up without depress- ing the accelerator. Whether the engine is cold or warm, it should be started without depressing the accelerator. CAUTION If the engine stalls while you are in motion,do not attempt to move the shift lever to the P (Park) position.If traffic and road conditions permit, you may put the shift lever in the N (Neutral) position while the vehicle is still moving and turn the ignition switch to the START position in an attempt to restart the engine. 65 MANUAL TRANSAXLE (IF EQUIPPED) The shift lever can be moved without pulling the ring (1). The ring (1) must be pulled up while moving the shift lever. OHD056002 Driving your vehicle Manual transaxle operation The manual transaxle has 5 forward gears. This shift pattern is imprinted on the shift knob. The transaxle is fully synchronized in all forward gears so shifting to either a higher or a lower gear is easily accom- plished. Press the clutch pedal down fully while shifting, then release it slowly. The gearshift lever must be returned to the neutral position before shifting into R (Reverse). The ring located immediately below the shift knob must be pulled upward while moving the shift lever to the R position. Make sure the vehicle is completely stopped before shifting into R (Reverse). Never operate the engine with the tachometer (rpm) in the red zone. 5 7 WARNING Before leaving the driver’s seat, always set the parking brake fully and shut the engine off. Then make sure the transaxle is shifted into 1st gear when the vehicle is parked on a level or uphill grade, and shifted into R (Reverse) on a downhill grade. Unexpected and sudden vehicle movement can occur if these precautions are not followed in the order identified. Driving your vehicle CAUTION (cid:129) When downshifting from fifth gear to fourth gear, caution should be taken not to inadver- tently press the gear shift lever sideways in such a manner that second gear is engaged. Such a drastic downshift may cause the engine speed to increase to the point that the tachometer will enter the red-zone. Such over- revving of the engine may possi- bly cause engine damage. (cid:129) Do not downshift more than 2 gears or downshift the gear when the engine is running at high speed (5,000 RPM or higher). Such a downshifting may damage the engine. (cid:129) To shift into reverse, rest the lever in neutral for at least 3 seconds after your car is completely stopped. Then move the lever into the reverse position. (cid:129) During cold weather, shifting may be difficult until the transaxle lubricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harmful to the transaxle. (cid:129) If you've come to a complete stop and it's hard to shift into 1st or R (Reverse), put the shift lever in N (Neutral) posi- tion and release the clutch. Press the clutch pedal back down, and then shift into 1st or R (Reverse) gear position. CAUTION (cid:129) To avoid premature clutch wear and damage, do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal. Also, don’t use the clutch to hold the vehicle stopped on an uphill grade, while waiting for a traffic light,etc. (cid:129) Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, as this can result in premature wear of the transaxle shift forks. 85 Using the clutch The clutch should be pressed all the way to the floor before shifting, then released slowly. The clutch pedal should always be fully released while driving. Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driv- ing. This can cause unnecessary wear. Do not partially engage the clutch to hold the car on an incline. This causes unnec- essary wear. Use the foot brake or park- ing brake to hold the car on an incline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly. Downshifting When you must slow down in heavy traf- fic or while driving up steep hills, down- shift before the engine starts to labor. Downshifting reduces the chance of stalling and gives better acceleration when you again need to increase your speed. When the vehicle is traveling down steep hills, downshifting helps maintain safe speed and prolongs brake life. Good driving practices (cid:129) Never take the car out of gear and coast down a hill. This is extremely hazardous. Always leave the car in gear. (cid:129) Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malfunction. Instead, when you are driving down a long hill, slow down and shift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slow the car. (cid:129) Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. This will help avoid over-revving the engine, which can cause damage. (cid:129) Slow down when you encounter cross winds. This gives you much better con- trol of your car. (cid:129) Be sure the car is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into reverse. The transaxle can be damaged if you do not. To shift into reverse, depress the clutch, move the shift lever to neu- tral, wait three seconds, then shift to the reverse position. (cid:129) 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 the vehicle to go out of control. Driving your vehicle WARNING (cid:129) Always buckle-up! In a collision, an unbelted occupant is signifi- cantly more likely to be seriously injured or killed than a properly belted occupant. (cid:129) Avoid high speeds when corner- ing or turning. (cid:129) Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns. (cid:129) The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your vehicle at highway speeds. (cid:129) Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway and the driver over- steers to reenter the roadway. (cid:129) In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply. Instead, slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes. (cid:129) Never exceed posted speed lim- its. 5 9 Driving your vehicle AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE Depress the brake pedal when shifting The shift lever can be moved freely 10 OHD056003 Automatic transaxle operation The highly efficient automatic transaxle has 4 forward speeds and one reverse speed. The individual speeds are select- ed automatically, depending on the posi- tion of the shift lever. All normal forward driving is done with the shift lever in the D (Drive) position. To move the shift lever from the P (Park) position, the brake pedal must be depressed with the ignition switch ON. ✽✽ NOTICE The first few shifts on a new vehicle, if the battery has been disconnected, may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condition, and the shifting sequence will adjust after shifts are cycled a few times by (Transaxle Control Module). the TCM For smooth operation, depress the brake pedal when shifting from N (Neutral) to a forward or reverse gear. WARNING - Automatic transaxle (cid:129) Always check the surrounding areas near your vehicle for peo- ple, especially children, before putting a car into D (Drive) or R (Reverse). (cid:129) Before leaving the driver’s seat, always make sure the shift lever is in the P (Park) position; then set the parking brake fully and shut the engine off. Unexpected and sudden vehicle movement can occur if these precautions are not followed in the order iden- tified. Driving your vehicle CAUTION (cid:129) To avoid damage to your transaxle, do not accelerate the engine in R (Reverse) or any for- ward gear position with the brakes on. (cid:129) When stopped on an upgrade,do not hold the vehicle stationary with engine power.Use the serv- ice brake or the parking brake. (cid:129) Do not shift from N (Neutral) or P (Park) into D (Drive), or R (Reverse) when the engine is above idle speed. 5 11 Driving your vehicle Transaxle ranges The indicator lights in the instrument cluster indicate the shift lever position when the ignition switch is in the ON position. P (Park) Always come to a complete stop before shifting into P (Park). This position locks the transaxle and prevents the front wheels from rotating. WARNING (cid:129) Shifting into P (Park) while the vehicle is in motion will cause the drive wheels to lock which will cause you to lose control of the vehicle. (cid:129) Do not use the P (Park) position in place of the parking brake. Always make sure the shift lever is latched in the P (Park) position and set the parking brake fully. (Continued) 12 (Continued) (cid:129) Before leaving the driver’s seat, always make sure the shift lever is in the P (Park) position. Set the parking brake fully, shut the engine off and take the key with you. Unexpected and sudden vehicle movement can occur if you do not follow these precau- tions in the order specified. (cid:129) Never leave a child unattended in a vehicle. CAUTION The transaxle may be damaged if you shift into P (Park) while the vehicle is in motion. R (Reverse) Use this position to drive the vehicle backward. CAUTION Always come to a complete stop before shifting into or out of R (Reverse); you may damage the transaxle if you shift into R while the vehicle is in motion, except as explained in “Rocking the Vehicle”, in this manual. N (Neutral) The wheels and transaxle are not locked. The vehicle will roll freely even on the slightest incline unless the parking brake or service brakes are applied. D (Drive) This is the normal forward driving posi- tion. The transaxle will automatically shift through a 4-gear sequence, providing the best fuel economy and power. For extra power when passing another vehicle or climbing grades, depress the accelerator fully, at which time the transaxle will automatically downshift to the next lower gear. 3 (Third gear) Use for towing a trailer during hill climb- ing or to use engine braking downhill. "3" automatically shifts between 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears. This means that no shift- up to 4th gear is performed. However, the shift-up to 4th gear is done when the car speed exceeds a certain value to prevent the engine from over-revving. Manually move the selector to "D" when returning to normal driving condition. 2 (Second gear) Use for driving on a slippery road, hill climbing or engine braking downhill. "2" automatically shifts between first and second gears. This means that no shift-up to 3rd gear is performed. However, the shift-up to third gear is done when the car speed exceeds a certain value to prevent the engine from over-revving. Manually move the selector to "D" returning to normal driving condition. L (Low gear) Use for driving up a very steep grade or for engine braking when descending steep hills. When downshifting to "L", the transaxle will temporarily remain in sec- ond gear until the vehicle has slowed enough for low gear to engage. Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h) in low gear. "L" shifts to 1st gear only. However, shift up to 2nd is performed when the car exceeds a certain speed and, as speed increases, the transaxle will shift up to 3rd gear to prevent over-revving the engine. ✽✽ NOTICE • For smooth and safe operation, depress the brake pedal when shifting from "N" (Neutral) position or "P" (Park) position to a forward or "R" (Reverse) gear. • Fully depress the brake pedal in order to move the shift lever from the "P" (Park) position to any of the other positions. • It is always possible to shift from "R", "N", "D", "3", "2", "L" position to "P" position. The vehicle must be fully stopped to avoid transaxle dam- age. Driving your vehicle CAUTION (cid:129) Shift into "R" and "P" position only when the vehicle has com- pletely stopped. (cid:129) Do not accelerate the engine in reverse or any of the forward positions with the brakes applied. (cid:129) Always apply the footbrake when shifting from "P" or "N", to "R", "D","3","2" or "L" position. (cid:129) Check the automatic transaxle fluid level regularly,and add fluid as necessary. See the maintenance schedule for the proper fluid recommendation. 5 13 Driving your vehicle Shift lock system For your safety, the automatic transaxle has a shift lock system which prevents shifting the transaxle out of P (Park) unless the brake pedal is depressed. To shift the transaxle out of P (Park): 1. Depress and hold the brake pedal. 2. Start the engine or turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Ignition key interlock system The ignition key cannot be removed unless the shift lever is in the P (Park) position. If the ignition switch is in any other position, the key cannot be removed. the brake pedal 3. Move the shift lever. If repeatedly depressed and released with the shift lever in the P (Park) position, a chattering noise near the shift lever may be heard. This is a normal condition. is WARNING Always fully depress the brake pedal before and while shifting out of the P (Park) position into anoth- er position to avoid inadvertent motion of the vehicle which could injure persons in or around the car. 14 OHD056004 Shift-lock override If the shift lever cannot be moved from the P (Park) position with the brake pedal depressed, continue depressing the brake, then do the following: 1. Carefully remove the cap (1) covering the shift-lock override access hole. 2. Insert a screwdriver (or key) into the access hole and press down on the screwdriver (or key). 3. Move the shift lever. 4. Have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Hyundai dealer immediate- ly. Good driving practices (cid:129) Never move the gear selector lever from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to any other position with the accelerator pedal depressed. (cid:129) Never move the gear selector lever into "P" when the vehicle is in motion. (cid:129) Be sure the car is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into R (Reverse). (cid:129) Never take the car out of gear and coast down a hill. This may be extremely hazardous. Always leave the car in gear when moving. (cid:129) Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malfunc- tion. Instead, when you are driving down a long hill, slow down and shift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slow the car. (cid:129) Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may not be engaged. (cid:129) Always use the parking brake. Do not depend on placing the transaxle in P (Park) to keep the car from moving. (cid:129) 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 the vehicle to go out of control. (cid:129) Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothly depressing and releasing the accelera- tor pedal. WARNING (cid:129) Always buckle-up! In a collision, an unbelted occupant is signifi- cantly more likely to be seriously injured or killed than a properly belted occupant. (cid:129) Avoid high speeds when corner- ing or turning. (cid:129) Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes or fast, sharp turns. (cid:129) The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your vehicle at highway speeds. (cid:129) Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway and the driver over- steers to reenter the roadway. (cid:129) In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply. Instead, slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes. (cid:129) Never exceed posted speed lim- its. Driving your vehicle CAUTION If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow,mud,sand,etc.,then you may attempt to rock the vehicle free by moving it forward and backward.Do not attempt this procedure if people or objects are anywhere near the vehicle. During the rocking opera- tion the vehicle may suddenly move forward of backward as it becomes unstuck,causing injury or damage to nearby people or objects. Moving up a steep grade from a stand- ing start To move up a steep grade from a stand- ing start, depress the brake pedal, shift the shift lever to D (Drive). Select the appropriate gear depending on load weight and steepness of the grade, and release the parking brake. Depress the accelerator gradually while releasing the service brakes. 5 15 Driving your vehicle BRAKE SYSTEM Power brakes Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes that adjust automatically through normal usage. In the event that the power-assisted brakes lose power because of a stalled engine or some other reason, you can still stop your vehicle by applying greater force to the brake pedal than you nor- mally would. The stopping distance, how- ever, will be longer. When the engine is not running, the reserve brake power is partially depleted each time the brake pedal is applied. Do not pump the brake pedal when the power assist has been interrupted. Pump the brake pedal only when neces- sary to maintain steering control on slip- pery surfaces. 16 In the event of brake failure If service brakes fail to operate while the vehicle is in motion, you can make an emergency stop with the parking brake. The stopping distance, however, will be much greater than normal. WARNING - Parking brake Applying the parking brake while the vehicle is moving at normal speeds can cause a sudden loss of control of the vehicle. If you must use the parking brake to stop the vehicle, use great caution in apply- ing the brake. WARNING - Brakes (cid:129) Do not drive with your foot rest- ing on the brake pedal. This will create abnormal high brake tem- peratures, excessive brake lining and pad wear, and increased stopping distances. (Continued) (Continued) (cid:129) When descending a long or steep hill, shift to a lower gear and avoid continuous application of the brakes. Continuous brake application will cause the brakes to overheat and could result in a temporary loss of braking per- formance. lightly will (cid:129) Wet brakes may result the vehicle not to slow down at the usual rate and pull it to one side when the brakes are applied. Applying the brakes indicate whether they have been affected in this way. Always test your brakes in this fashion after driv- ing through deep water. To dry the brakes, apply them lightly while maintaining a safe forward speed until brake performance returns to normal. Driving your vehicle Rear drum brakes Your rear drum brakes do not have wear indicators.Therefore, have the rear brake linings inspected if you hear a rear brake rubbing noise. Also have your rear brakes inspected each time you change or rotate your tires and when you have the front brakes replaced. Disc brakes wear indicator Your vehicle has disc brakes. When your brake pads are worn and new pads are required, you will hear a high- pitched warning sound from your front brakes or rear brakes (if equipped). You may hear this sound come and go or it may occur whenever you depress the brake pedal. Please remember that some driving con- ditions 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. CAUTION To avoid costly brake repairs, do not continue to drive with worn brake pads. CAUTION Always replace brake pads as com- plete front or rear axle sets. WARNING - Brake wear This brake wear warning sound means your vehicle needs service. If you ignore this audible warning, you will eventually lose braking performance, which could lead to a serious accident. 5 17 Driving your vehicle OHD056005 OHD056006 Releasing the parking brake To release the parking brake, first apply the foot brake and pull the parking brake lever slightly. Secondly, depress the release button and lower the parking brake lever while holding the button. Parking brake Applying the parking brake To engage the parking brake, first apply the foot brake and then without pressing the release button in, pull the parking brake lever up as far as possible. In addi- tion it is recommended that when parking the vehicle on a gradient, the shift lever should be positioned in the appropriate low gear on manual transaxle vehicles or in the P (Park) position on automatic transaxle vehicles. CAUTION Driving with the parking brake applied will cause excessive brake pad (or lining) and brake rotor wear. 18 WARNING (cid:129) To prevent unintentional move- ment when stopped and leaving the vehicle, do not use the gearshift lever in place of the parking brake. Set the parking brake AND make sure the gearshift lever is securely posi- tioned in 1st (First) gear or R (Reverse) for manual transaxle equipped vehicles and in P (Park) for automatic transaxle equipped vehicles. (cid:129) Never allow a person who is unfa- miliar with the vehicle or children to touch the parking brake. If the parking brake is released unin- tentionally, serious injury may occur. (cid:129) All vehicles should always have the parking brake fully engaged when parking to avoid inadver- tent movement of the car which can injure occupants or pedestri- ans. Anti-lock brake system (ABS) (if equipped) WARNING ABS (ESC) will not prevent acci- dents due to improper or danger- ous driving maneuvers. Even though vehicle control is improved during emergency braking, always maintain a safe distance between you and objects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be reduced during extreme road conditions. The braking distance for cars equipped with an anti-lock braking system (Electronic Stability Control System) may be longer than for those without it in the following road conditions. During these conditions the vehicle should be driven at reduced speeds: (cid:129) Rough, gravel or snow-covered roads. (cid:129) With tire chains installed. (cid:129) On roads where the road surface is pitted or has different surface height. (Continued) W-75 Check the brake warning light by turning the ignition switch ON (do not start the engine). This light will be illuminated when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the START or ON position. Before driving, be sure the parking brake is fully released and the brake warning light is off. If the brake warning light remains on after the parking brake is released, there may be a malfunction in the brake sys- tem. Immediate attention is necessary. If at all possible, cease driving the vehi- cle immediately. If that is not possible, use extreme caution while operating the vehicle and only continue to drive the vehicle until you can reach a safe loca- tion or repair shop. Driving your vehicle (Continued) The safety features of an ABS (ESC) equipped vehicle should not be tested by high speed driving or cornering. This could endanger the safety of yourself or others. 5 19 Driving your vehicle The ABS continuously senses the speed of the wheels. If the wheels are going to lock, the ABS system repeatedly modu- lates the hydraulic brake pressure to the wheels. When you apply your brakes under con- ditions which may lock the wheels, you may hear a “tik-tik’’ sound from the brakes, or feel a corresponding sensation in the brake pedal. This is normal and it means your ABS is active. In order to obtain the maximum benefit from your ABS in an emergency situa- tion, do not attempt to modulate your brake pressure and do not try to pump your brakes. Press your brake pedal as hard as possible or as hard as the situa- tion warrants and allow the ABS to con- trol the force being delivered to the brakes. ✽✽ NOTICE A click sound may be heard in the engine compartment when the vehicle begins to move after the engine is start- ed. These conditions are normal and indicate that the anti-lock brake system is functioning properly. (cid:129) Even with the anti-lock brake system, your vehicle still requires sufficient stopping distance. Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. (cid:129) Always slow down when cornering. The anti-lock brake system cannot pre- vent accidents resulting from exces- sive speeds. (cid:129) On loose or uneven road surfaces, operation of the anti-lock brake system may result in a longer stopping dis- tance than for vehicles equipped with a conventional brake system. 20 W-78 CAUTION (cid:129) If the ABS warning light is on and stays on,you may have a problem with the ABS.In this case,howev- er, your regular brakes will work normally. (cid:129) The ABS warning light will stay on for approximately 3 seconds after the ignition switch is ON. During that time,the 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. CAUTION (cid:129) When you drive on a road having poor traction,such as an icy road, and operate your brakes continu- ously,the ABS will be active con- tinuously and the ABS warning light may illuminate.Pull your car over to a safe place and stop the engine. (cid:129) Restart the engine. If the ABS warning light is off, then your ABS system is normal. Otherwise,you may have a prob- lem with the ABS. Contact an authorized Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. ✽✽ NOTICE When you jump start your vehicle because of a drained battery, the engine may not run as smoothly and 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. • Do not pump your brakes! • Have the battery recharged before driving the vehicle. OHD056007N Electronic stability control (ESC) (If equipped) The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system is designed to stabilize the vehicle during cornering manuevers. ESC checks where you are steering and where the vehicle is actually going. ESC applies the brakes at individual wheels and intervenes in the engine management system to stabilize the vehicle. Driving your vehicle WARNING Never drive too fast for the road conditions or too quickly when cor- nering. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) will not prevent accidents. Excessive speed in turns, abrupt maneuvers and hydroplaning on wet surfaces can still result in seri- ous accidents. Only a safe and attentive driver can prevent acci- dents by avoiding maneuvers that cause the vehicle to lose traction. Even with ESC installed, always fol- low all the normal precautions for driving - including driving at safe speeds for the conditions. 5 21 When operating ESC When the ESC is in operation, ESC indicator light blinks. (cid:129) When the Electronic Stability Control is operating properly, you can feel a slight pulsation in the vehicle. This is only the effect of brake control and indi- cates nothing unusual. (cid:129) When moving out of the mud or slippery road, pressing the accelerator pedal may not cause the engine rpm (revo- lutions to increase. per minute) ESC operation ESC ON condition (cid:129) When the ignition is turned ON, ESC and ESC OFF indi- cator for approximately 3 seconds, then ESC is turned on. illuminate lights (cid:129) Press the ESC OFF button for at least half a second after turning the ignition ON to turn ESC off. (ESC OFF indicator will illuminate). To turn the ESC on, press the ESC OFF button (ESC OFF indicator light will go off). (cid:129) When starting the engine, you may hear a slight ticking sound. This is the ESC per- forming an automatic system self-check and does not indi- cate a problem. Driving your vehicle The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system is an electronic system designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether ESC will be effective in preventing a loss of control. It is still your responsibility to drive and corner at reasonable speeds and to leave a sufficient margin of safety. When you apply your brakes under con- ditions which may lock the wheels, you may hear a “tik-tik’’ sound from the brakes, or feel a corresponding sensation in the brake pedal. This is normal and it means your ESC is active. ✽✽ NOTICE A click sound may be heard in the engine compartment when the vehicle begins to move after the engine is start- ed. These conditions are normal and indicate that the Electronic Stability Control System is functioning properly. 22 ESC operation off ESC OFF state ESC OFF (cid:129) To cancel ESC operation, press the ESC OFF button (ESC OFF indicator light illu- minates). (cid:129) If the ignition switch is turned to LOCK position when ESC is off, ESC remains off. Upon restarting the engine, the ESC will automatically turn on again. Driving your vehicle CAUTION Driving with varying tire or wheel sizes may cause the ESC system to malfunction. When replacing tires, make sure they are the same size as your original tires. WARNING The Electronic Stability Control sys- tem is only a driving aid; use pre- cautions for safe driving by slowing down on curved, snowy, or icy roads. Drive slowly and don’t attempt to accelerate whenever the ESC indicator light is blinking, or when the road surface is slippery. ■ ESC indicator light (blinks) ESC ■ ESC OFF indicator light (comes on) ESC OFF Indicator light When ignition switch is turned to ON, the indicator light illuminates, then goes off if ESC system is operating normally. The ESC indicator light blinks whenever ESC is operating. ESC OFF indicator light comes on when either the ESC is turned off with the but- ton, or ESC fails to operate when turned on. 5 23 Driving your vehicle ESC OFF usage When driving (cid:129) It’s a good idea to keep the ESC turned on for daily driving whenever possible. (cid:129) To turn ESC off while driving, press the ESC OFF button while driving on a flat road surface. Never press ESC OFF button while ESC is operating (ESC indicator light blinks). If ESC is turned off while ESC is operat- ing, the vehicle may slip out of control. WARNING Never press the ESC OFF button while ESC is operating. If the ESC is turned off while ESC is operating, the vehicle may go out of control. To turn ESC off while driving, press the ESC OFF button while driving on a flat road surface. ✽✽ NOTICE • When operating the vehicle on a dynamometer, ensure that the ESC is turned off (ESC OFF light illuminat- ed). If the ESC is left on, it may pre- vent the vehicle speed from increas- ing, and result in false diagnosis. • Turning the ESC off does not affect ABS or brake system operation. Good braking practices (cid:129) After being parked, check to be sure the parking brake is not engaged and that the parking brake indicator light is out before driving away. (cid:129) Driving through water may get the brakes wet. They can also get wet when the car is washed. Wet brakes can be dangerous! Your car will not stop as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet brakes may cause the car to pull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes lightly until the braking action returns to normal, taking care to keep the car under control at all times. If the braking action does not return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do so and call an authorized Hyundai dealer for assistance. (cid:129) Don't coast down hills with the car out of gear. This is extremely hazardous. Keep the car in gear at all times, use the brakes to slow down, then shift to a lower gear so that engine braking will help you maintain a safe speed. 24 (cid:129) Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged posi- tion. This is most likely to happen when there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the parking brake may freeze, apply it only temporarily while you put the gear selector (automatic transaxle) or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the car cannot roll.
