CAUTION
Driving with varying tyre or wheel
sizes may cause the ESP system to
malfunction. When replacing tyres,
make sure they are the same size as
your original tyres.
WARNING
The Electronic Stability Program
system is only a driving aid; use
precautions for safe driving by
slowing down on curved, snowy, or
icy roads. Drive slowly and don't
attempt to accelerate whenever the
ESP indicator light is blinking, or
when the road surface is slippery.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
After reconnecting or recharging a dis-
charged battery, the ESP OFF indicator
may illuminate. In this case, turn the
steering wheel 360 degrees to the left
and 360 degrees to the right while the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
Then, restart the engine after the igni-
tion is off. If the ESP OFF indicator does
not turn off, have the system checked by
an authorised HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.

ESP OFF usage

When driving
• It's a good idea to keep the ESP turned
on for daily driving whenever possible.
• To turn ESP off while driving, press the
ESP OFF button while driving on a flat
road surface.
Never press the ESP OFF button while
ESP is operating (ESP indicator light
blinks).
If ESP is turned off while ESP is operat-
ing, the vehicle may slip out of control.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• When operating the vehicle on a
dynamometer, ensure that the ESP is
turned off (ESP OFF light illuminat-
ed). If the ESP is left on, it may pre-
vent the vehicle speed from increas-
ing, and result in false diagnosis.
• Turning the ESP off does not affect
ABS or brake system operation.
