Driving with wheels and tires with
different sizes may cause the ESC system
to malfunction. Before replacing tires,
make sure all four tires and wheels are the
same size. Never drive the vehicle with
different sized wheels and tires installed.
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 ESC, to maintain wheel
torque.
To turn ESC off while driving, press the
ESC OFF button while driving on a flat
road surface.
To prevent damage to the gear:
• Do not allow wheel(s) of one axle to
spin excessively while the ESC, ABS,
and Parking Brake warning lights are
displayed. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Reduce motor power and do not spin
the wheel(s) excessively while these
lights are displayed.
• When operating the vehicle on a
dynamometer, make sure ESC is turned
off (ESC OFF light illuminated).
Information
• Turning ESC off does not affect ABS or
standard brake system operation.
• Select 0 step of the regenerative braking
system and depress the brake pedal around
10 times to efficiently apply brake disc
cleaning.
Brake disc cleaning may decrease the
driving distance by restraining the
regenerative braking system. After brake
disc cleaning, the regenerative braking
system may be restored.
If the regenerative braking system is not
restored after the brake disc cleaning, have
the vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM)
Vehicle Stability Management is a
function of the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system. It helps the vehicle
stay stable when accelerating or braking
suddenly on wet, slippery and rough
roads where traction over the four tires
can suddenly become uneven.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Vehicle Stability Management:
• ALWAYS check the speed and the
distance to the vehicle ahead. VSM is
not a substitute for safe driving
practices.
• Never drive too fast for the road
conditions. VSM will not prevent
accidents. Excessive speed in bad
weather, on slippery and uneven roads
can result in severe accidents.
VSM operation
When operating
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may activate ESC, you
may hear sounds from the brakes, or feel
a corresponding sensation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and it means your
VSM is active.
