Braking System

Power-Assist Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes that adjust automatically through normal usage. If the engine is not running or is turned off while driving, the power assist for the brakes will not work. You can still stop your vehicle by applying greater force to the brake pedal than typical. The stopping distance, however, will be longer than with power brakes. 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.

Information

When the brake pedal is depressed under certain driving conditions
or weather conditions, you may temporarily hear a noise. This is normal and does not indicate a problem with your brakes.
While driving on a road with deicing chemicals, brake noise or abnormal tire wear may occur due to deicing chemicals. In safe traffic conditions, apply the brakes to remove deicing chemicals on the brake discs and pads.
When descending down a long or steep hill, use the paddle shifter and manually downshift to a lower gear in order to control your speed without using the brake pedal excessively. Applying the brakes continuously will cause the brakes to overheat and could result in a temporary loss of braking performance.
The brake pressure(%) displayed on the infotainment screen may differ from the actual brake pressure.
Wet brakes may impair the vehicle’s ability to safely slow down; the vehicle may also pull to one side when the brakes are applied. Applying the brakes lightly will indicate whether they have been affected in this way. Always test your brakes in this fashion after driving through deep water. To dry the brakes, lightly tap the brake pedal to heat up the brakes while maintaining a safe forward speed until brake performance returns to normal. Avoid driving at high speeds until the brakes function correctly.

Disc Brakes Wear Indicator

When your brake pads are worn and new pads are required, you will hear a high-pitched warning sound from your front or rear brakes. You may hear this sound come and go or it may occur whenever you depress the brake pedal.

NOTICE
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not continue to drive with worn brake pads.

Information
Always replace brake pads as complete front or rear axle sets.

High-Performance Brake
For vehicles equipped with a High-Performance Brake (applied with a material having a high coefficient of friction), noise such as a squeal, squeak, or groan is generated while braking. This is normal and the friction may create circle patterns on the disc surface. This is also a normal situation that does not affect braking performance.

NOTICE
Occasional brake noise is normal. If a continuous grinding or continuous squeal sound is present, the brake lining may be worn out. We recommend that the vehicle be checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. If the vehicle has continuous vibration or shudders in the steering wheel while braking, we recommend that the vehicle be checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING
Frequent speeding and braking may deform components and wear the disc brake causing vibration when braking. Prevent brake damage by avoiding excessive braking. Brake wear, noise, vibration from excessive braking, or deformation of the brakes caused by repeatedly braking at high speed, racing on tracks, etc. can be excluded from warranty coverage.

Parking Brake
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes that adjust automatically through normal usage. If the engine is not running or is turned off while driving, the power assist for the brakes will not work. You can still stop your vehicle by applying greater force to the brake pedal than typical. The stopping distance, however, will be longer than with power brakes. 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.

Information
When the brake pedal is depressed under certain driving conditions or weather conditions, you may temporarily hear a noise. This is normal and does not indicate a problem with your brakes. While driving on a road with deicing chemicals, brake noise or abnormal tire wear may occur due to deicing chemicals. In safe traffic conditions, additionally, apply the brakes to remove deicing chemicals on the brake discs and pads.

WARNING
Take the following precautions:

Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. This will create abnormally high brake temperatures, excessive brake lining and pad wear, and increased stopping distances.
When descending down a long or steep hill, use the paddle shifter and manually downshift to a lower gear in order to control your speed without using the brake pedal excessively. Applying the brakes continuously will cause the brakes to overheat and could result in a temporary loss of braking performance.
The brake pressure(%) displayed on the infotainment screen may differ from the actual brake pressure.
Wet brakes may impair the vehicle’s ability to safely slow down; the vehicle may also pull to one side when the brakes are applied. Applying the brakes lightly will indicate whether they have been affected in this way. Always test your brakes in this fashion after driving through deep water. To dry the brakes, lightly tap the brake pedal to heat up the brakes while maintaining a safe forward speed until brake performance returns to normal. Avoid driving at high speeds until the brakes function correctly.

Disc Brakes Wear Indicator

This is normal and the friction may create circle patterns on the disc surface. This is also a normal situation that does not affect braking performance.

WARNING
Frequent speeding and braking may deform components and wear the disc brake causing vibration when braking. Prevent brake damage by avoiding excessive braking. Brake wear, noise, vibration from excessive braking or deformation of the brakes caused by repeatedly braking in high speed, racing on tracks, etc. can be excluded from warranty coverage.

Parking Brake

Always set the parking brake before leaving the vehicle. To apply the parking brake:
Firmly depress the brake pedal. Pull up the parking brake lever as far as possible.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, do not operate the parking brake while the vehicle is moving except in an emergency situation. It could damage the brake system and lead to an accident.

To release:
Firmly depress the brake pedal. While pressing the release button (1), slightly pull up on the parking brake lever then lower the parking brake lever (2). If the parking brake does not release or does not release all the way, have your vehicle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING

Whenever leaving the vehicle or parking, always come to a complete stop and continue to depress the brake pedal. Move the shift lever into P (Park) position, then apply the
the parking brake, and set the Engine Start/Stop button in the OFF position.
Vehicles with the parking brake not fully engaged are at risk for moving inadvertently and causing injury to yourself or others.
When parking on an incline, block the wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling down.
NEVER allow anyone who is unfamiliar with the vehicle to touch the parking brake. If the parking brake is released unintentionally, serious injury may occur.
Only release the parking brake when you are seated inside the vehicle with your foot firmly on the brake pedal.

NOTICE
Do not apply the accelerator pedal while the parking brake is engaged. If you depress the accelerator pedal with the parking brake engaged, the warning will sound. Damage to the parking brake may occur. Driving with the parking brake on can overheat the braking system and cause premature wear or damage to brake parts. Make sure the parking brake is released and the Brake Warning Light is off before driving.

Check the Parking Brake Warning Light by setting the Engine Start/Stop button to the ON position (do not start the engine). This light will be illuminated when the parking brake is applied with the Engine Start/Stop button in the START or ON position. Before driving, be sure the parking brake is released and the Brake Warning Light is OFF. If the Parking Brake Warning Light remains on after the parking brake is released while the engine is running, there may be a malfunction in the brake system. Immediate attention is necessary. If at all possible, cease driving the vehicle 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 location.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

WARNING
An Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) or Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system will not prevent accidents
due to improper or dangerous driving maneuvers. Even though vehicle control is improved during emergency braking, always maintain a safe distance between you and objects ahead of you. Vehicle speeds should always be reduced during extreme road conditions. The braking distance for vehicles equipped with ABS or ESC may be longer than for those without these systems in the following road conditions.

Drive your vehicle at reduced speeds during the following conditions:

Rough, gravel, or snow-covered roads.
On roads where the road surface is pitted or has a different surface height.
Tire chains are installed on your vehicle.

The safety features of ABS or ESC-equipped vehicles should not be tested by high-speed driving or cornering. This could endanger the safety of yourself or others. ABS is an electronic braking system that helps prevent a braking skid. ABS allows the driver to steer and brake at the same time.

Using ABS
To obtain the maximum benefit from your ABS in an emergency situation, do not attempt to modulate your brake pressure and do not try to pump your brakes. Depress your brake pedal as hard as possible.

When you apply your brakes under conditions that 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 ABS is active. ABS does not reduce the time or distance it takes to stop the vehicle. Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. ABS will not prevent a skid that results from sudden changes in direction, such as trying to take a corner too fast or making a sudden lane change. Always drive at a safe speed for the road and weather conditions. ABS cannot prevent a loss of stability. Always steer moderately when braking hard. Severe or sharp steering wheel movement can still cause your vehicle to veer into oncoming traffic or off the road. On loose or uneven road surfaces, the operation of the anti-lock brake system may result in a longer stopping distance than for vehicles equipped with a conventional brake system. The ABS ( ) warning light will stay on for several seconds after the Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON position. During that time, ABS will go through self-diagnosis and the light will go off if everything is normal.

WARNING
If the ABS ( ) warning light is on and stays on, you may have a problem with the ABS. Your power brakes will work normally. To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, contact your authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.

NOTICE
When you drive on a road having poor traction, such as an icy road, and apply your brakes continuously, ABS will be active continuously and the ABS ( ) warning light may illuminate. Pull your vehicle over to a safe place and turn the vehicle off. Restart the vehicle. If the ABS warning light is off, then your ABS system is normal. Otherwise, you may have a problem with your ABS system. Contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.

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.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

Electronic Stability Control(ESC) helps to stabilize the vehicle during cornering maneuvers. ESC checks where you are steering and where the vehicle is actually going. ESC applies braking pressure to any one of the vehicle’s brakes and intervenes in the engine management system 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.

WARNING
Never drive too fast for the road conditions when cornering. ESC will not prevent accidents. Excessive speed in turns, abrupt maneuvers, and hydroplaning on wet surfaces can result in severe accidents.

ESC ON condition
When the engine is turned off and then on again, ESC operation is enabled, and it is activated in the ESC operating mode (not in ESC Sport mode or ESC OFF mode) regardless of the ESC mode before turning off the engine.

You may select between the following state of ESC:

ESC NORMAL activated (ESC ON)
ESC SPORT activated (ESC SPORT indicator illuminates)
ESC deactivated (ESC OFF indicator illuminates)

When ESC is in operation, the ESC indicator light blinks:
When you apply your brakes under conditions that 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 ESC activates, the engine may not respond to the accelerator as it does under routine conditions. If Cruise Control is in use when ESC activates, Cruise Control automatically disengages. Cruise Control can be reengaged when the road conditions allow. See “Cruise Control (CC)” later in this chapter. When moving out of the mud or driving on a slippery road, the engine rpm (revolutions per minute) may not increase even if you press the accelerator pedal deeply. This is to maintain the stability and traction of the vehicle and does not indicate a problem.

Indicator lights

When the Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON position, the ESC indicator light illuminates, and then goes off if the ESC system is operating normally. The ESC indicator light blinks whenever the ESC is operating. If the ESC indicator light stays on, your vehicle may malfunction with the ESC system. When this warning light illuminates have the vehicle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible. The ESC OFF indicator light comes on when ESC is turned off.

WARNING
When ESC is blinking, this indicates ESC is active:
Drive slowly and NEVER attempt to accelerate. NEVER turn the ESC off while the ESC indicator light is blinking or you may lose control of the vehicle resulting in an accident.

Deactivating / Activating ESC

You may select between the following state of ESC:

ESC NORMAL activated
ESC SPORT activated (ESC SPORT indicator illuminates)
ESC deactivated (ESC OFF indicator

WARNING
If you deactivate ESC, ESC no longer stabilizes the vehicle. There is an increased risk of skidding and an accident. When ESC SPORT mode is activated, the stability support from ESC will be less than in “ESC ON mode”, there is a greater risk of skidding and an accident. Only deactivate ESC or activate ESC SPORT in the situations described in the following.

In the following situations, it may be better to activate ESC SPORT or deactivate ESC (ESC OFF):

When using snow chains
Driving in deep snow
Driving in sand or gravel
Driving on specially designed roads where oversteering and understeering characteristics are desired
We recommend only qualified and experienced drivers to drive the vehicle with the ESC deactivated or ESC SPORT activated.

CAUTION
After the above situations are over, activate ESC immediately. If not, the vehicle can be unstable due to vehicle slip or wheel spin.

ESC SPORT
To activate ESC SPORT mode
Press the ESC OFF button briefly. The ESC SPORT indicator light illuminates the cluster LCD display. In this state, ESC only stabilizes the vehicle to a limited degree.

When ESC SPORT mode is activated:
ESC only improves driving stability to a limited degree. Traction control is still activated but with less wheel control (more slip). Engine torque can partially be limited for the vehicle’s stability and the driving wheel spin may be restricted for better traction.

To deactivate ESC SPORT mode
Press the ESC OFF button briefly. The ESC SPORT indicator light will go off on the cluster LCD display.

To deactivate ESC (ESC OFF)
Press and hold the ESC OFF button continuously for more than 3 seconds. The ESC OFF indicator light and message “Traction & Stability Control disabled” illuminates and a warning chime sounds. In this state, both the traction control function of ESC (engine management) and the brake control function of ESC (braking management) are disabled. To activate the ESC again, briefly press the ESC OFF button. The ESC OFF indicator light will go off.

NOTICE
Driving with wheels and tires of 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 a vehicle with different-sized wheels and tires installed.

WARNING
Don’t use ESC SPORT mode or ESC OFF while using a mini spare tire or a tire repair kit is in use!

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 the operation of the ESC, to maintain wheel torque. To turn the ESC off while driving, press the ESC OFF button while driving on a flat road surface.

NOTICE
To prevent damage to the transmission:
Do not allow the 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 engine 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.

Drive mode selection
When the ESC is on, the characteristic of the ESC varies according to which drive mode is selected by pressing the DRIVE MODE or N1 or N2 button on the steering wheel.

Mode button	Selected mode	Characteristic of ESC
DRIVE MODE button	ECO mode	NORMAL

To turn on CUSTOM mode with the ESC OFF setting, press and hold the N1 or N2 button.

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.

When operating
When you apply your brakes under conditions that 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.

Information
VSM does not operate when:
Driving through banked corners might result in an ESC system shutdown, due to system self-diagnostics and an assumption of a sensor failure. In the next ignition cycle, the ESC system is available again. Driving in reverse. The ESC OFF indicator light is on. The Motor Driven Power Steering (MDPS) warning light ( blinks. ) is on or

VSM OFF condition
To cancel the VSM operation, press the ESC OFF button. ESC OFF ( ) indicator light will illuminate. To turn on VSM, press the ESC OFF button again. The ESC OFF indicator light will go out.

WARNING
If the ESC ( ) indicator light or MDPS ( ) warning light stays illuminated or blinks, your vehicle may have malfunctioned with the VSM system. When the warning light illuminates have the vehicle be checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.

NOTICE
Driving with wheels and tires of 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 a vehicle with different-sized tires and wheels installed.

Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)

Hill-Start Assist Control helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when starting a vehicle from a stop on a hill. The system operates the brakes automatically for approximately 2 seconds and releases the brake after 2 seconds or when the accelerator pedal is depressed.

WARNING
Always be ready to depress the accelerator pedal when starting off an incline. The HAC activates only for approximately 2 seconds.

Information
The HAC does not operate when the gear is shifted to P (Park) or N (Neutral). The HAC activates even when the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is off. However, it does not activate, when ESC does not operate normally.

Downhill Brake Control (DBC)

The Downhill Brake Control (DBC) feature assists the driver to descend down a steep hill without having to depress the brake pedal. The system automatically applies the brakes to maintain the vehicle speed below 5 mph (8 km/h) and allows the driver to concentrate on steering the vehicle downhill.

WARNING
Always turn off the DBC on normal roads. The DBC might activate inadvertently from the standby mode when driving through speed bumps or making sharp curves.

NOTICE
The DBC defaults to the OFF position whenever the Engine Start/Stop button is placed in the ON position. Noise or vibration may occur from the brakes when the DBC is activated. The rear stop light comes on when DBC is activated.

Good Braking Practices

WARNING
Whenever leaving the vehicle or parking, always come to a complete stop and continue to depress the brake pedal. Shift the gear to the P (Park) position, then apply the parking brake, and press the Engine Start/Stop button to the OFF position. Vehicles parked with the parking brake not applied or not fully engaged may roll inadvertently and may cause injury to the driver and others. ALWAYS apply the parking brake before exiting the vehicle. Wet brakes can be dangerous! The brakes may get wet if the vehicle is driven through standing water or if it is washed. Your vehicle will not stop as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet brakes may cause the vehicle to pull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes lightly until the braking action returns to normal. 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. DO NOT drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. Even light, but constant pedal pressure can result in the brakes overheating, brake wear, and possibly even brake failure. If a tire goes flat while you are driving, apply the brakes gently and keep the vehicle pointed straight ahead while you slow down. When you are moving slowly enough for it to be safe to do so, pull off the road and stop in a safe location. Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when the vehicle is stopped to prevent the vehicle from rolling forward.

WARNING
Whenever leaving the vehicle or parking, always come to a complete stop and continue to depress the brake pedal. Move the shift lever into the P (Park) position, then apply the parking brake, and set the Engine Start/Stop button in the OFF position. Vehicles parked with the parking brake not applied or not fully engaged may roll inadvertently and may cause injury to the driver and others. ALWAYS apply the parking brake before exiting the vehicle.

Electronic Control Suspension (ECS)
The Electronic Control Suspension (ECS) controls the vehicle suspension automatically to maximize driving comfort by taking into account the driving conditions such as speed, the surface of the road, cornering, stopping requirements, and acceleration.

System malfunction

Check Electronic Suspension
If the ECS warning message comes on, you may have a problem with the ECS system. We recommend that you have the system checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
