Driving your vehicle
Indicator lights
ESC indicator light (blinks)
ESC OFF indicator light (comes on)
When the ignition switch is the ON posi-
tion, the ESC indicator light illuminates,
then goes off if the ESC system is operat-
ing normally.
The ESC indicator light blinks whenever
ESC is operating.
If the ESC indicator light stays on, your
vehicle may have a malfunction with the
ESC system. When this warning light illu-
minates we recommend that the vehicle
be 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 ac-
celerate. NEVER turn ESC off while the
ESC indicator light is blinking or you may
lose control of the vehicle resulting in an
accident.

NOTICE
Driving with wheels and tires with differ-
ent 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.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the transmission:
• 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. Re-
duce engine power and do not spin
the wheel(s) excessively while these
lights are displayed.
• When operating the vehicle on a dy-
namometer, make sure ESC is turned
off (ESC OFF light illuminated).
Information
Turning ESC off does not affect ABS or
standard brake system operation.
