Hyundai 2016 Azera Owner's Manual page 336

Only a safe and attentive driver can
prevent accidents by avoiding maneu-
vers that cause the vehicle to lose
traction. Even with ESC installed,
always follow all the normal precau-
tions for driving - including driving at
safe speeds for the conditions.
The Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system is an electronic sys-
tem designed to help the driver main-
tain vehicle control under adverse
conditions. It is not a substitute for
safe driving practices. Factors includ-
ing speed, road conditions and driv-
er steering input can all affect
whether ESC will be effective in pre-
venting 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
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear a "tik-tik''
sound from the brakes, or feel a cor-
responding sensation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and it means
your ESC is active.
ESC operation
ESC ON condition
• When the ignition is turned ON,
ESC and ESC OFF indicator lights
illuminate for approximately 3 sec-
onds, then ESC is turned on.
• Press the ESC OFF button after
turning the ignition ON to turn ESC
off. (ESC OFF indicator will illumi-
nate). To turn the ESC on, press
the ESC OFF button (ESC OFF
indicator light will go off).
• When starting the engine, you may
hear a slight ticking sound. This is
the ESC performing an automatic
system self-check and does not
indicate a problem.
Driving your vehicle
When operating
When the ESC is in opera-
tion, the ESC indicator light
blinks.
• When the Electronic
Stability Control is operat-
ing properly, you can feel a
slight pulsation in the vehi-
cle. This is only the effect
of driving on a brake con-
trol and indicates nothing
unusual.
• When moving out of mud
or driving on a slippery
road, depressing the accel-
erator pedal may not cause
the rpm (revolutions per
minute) to increase. This is
to maintain the stability of
the vehicle and is a normal
condition.
• When the ESC activates,
the engine may
respond to the accelerator
as it does under routine
conditions.
