Electronic Stability Control (Esc) - Hyundai Yeni i20 2023 Owner's Manual

Driving your vehicle
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC)
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) sys-
tem 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 condi-
tions or too quickly when cornering. The
ESC system will not prevent accidents.
Excessive speed in turns, abrupt maneu-
vers, and hydroplaning on wet surfaces
can result in severe accidents.

• When you apply your brakes under
conditions which 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 the ESC activates, the engine
may not respond to the accelerator as
it does under routine conditions.
• If the Cruise Control was in use when
the ESC activates, the Cruise Control
automatically disengages. The Cruise
Control can be reengaged when the
road conditions allow. Refer to "Cruise
Control" section in chapter 7 (if
equipped).
• When moving out of the mud or driv-
ing on a slippery road, the engine
RPM (revolutions per minute) may not
increase even if you press the accelera-
tor pedal deeply. This is to maintain the
stability and traction of the vehicle and
does not indicate a problem.
When the ESC is in operation,
the ESC indicator light blinks:
