Driving your vehicle
Hill-start assist control (HAC)
(if equipped)
✽ NOTICE
Good braking practices
� The HAC does not operate when the
transaxle shift lever is in the P (Park)
or N (Neutral) position.
•
Check to be sure the parking brake is
not engaged and that the parking
brake indicator light is out before driv-
ing away.
Hill-start Assist Control is a function for
your convenience. The main intention is
to prevent the vehicle from rolling back-
wards while driving uphill on an inclined
surface. HAC holds the braking pressure
built up by the driver while stopping for 2
seconds (manual transaxle) or 0.8 sec-
onds (automatic transaxle) after releas-
ing the brake pedal.
�
The HAC activates even though the
ESP is off but it does not activate
when the ESP has malfunctioned.
• Driving through water may get the
brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the vehicle is washed. Wet
brakes can be dangerous! Your vehicle
will not stop as quickly if the brakes are
wet. Wet brakes may cause the vehicle
to pull to one side.
During the pressure-hold period, the
driver has enough time to depress the
accelerator pedal to drive off.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking operation
returns to normal, to keep the vehicle
under control at all times. If the braking
operation does not return to normal,
stop as soon as it is safe to do so and
call an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.
The braking pressure is reduced as soon
as the system detects the driver’s inten-
tion to drive.
WARNING
The HAC is usually activated only
for 2 seconds (manual transaxle) or
0.8 seconds (automatic transaxle).
The driver should be careful not to
roll backward causing an accident
with an object or person behind.
•
Don't coast down hills with the vehicle
out of gear. This is extremely haz-
ardous. Keep the vehicle in gear at all
times, use the brakes to slow down,
then shift to a lower gear so that
engine braking will help you maintain a
safe speed.
