Hyundai Creta: Braking system / Vehicle Stability Management
Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) helps ensure the vehicle stays stable when accelerating or braking suddenly on wet, slippery and rough roads where traction over the four tires can suddenly become uneven.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when using the Vehicle Stability Management (VSM):
- ALWAYS check the speed and the distance to the vehicle ahead. The VSM is not a substitute for safe driving practices.
- Never drive too fast for the road conditions. The VSM system will not prevent accidents. Excessive speed in bad weather, slippery and uneven roads can result in severe accidents.
VSM operation
VSM ON condition
The VSM operates when:
- The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is on.
- Vehicle speed is approximately above 15 km/h (9 mph) on curve roads.
- Vehicle speed is approximately above 20 km/h (12 mph) when the vehicle is braking on rough roads.
When operating
When you apply your brakes under conditions which may activate the ESC, you may hear sounds from the brakes, or feel a corresponding sensation in the brake pedal. This is normal and it means your VSM is active.
Information
The VSM does not operate when:
- Driving on bank road such as gradient or incline
- Driving rearward.
- ESC OFF indicator light is on.
- EPS (Electronic Power Steering)
warning light (
) is on.
VSM OFF condition
To cancel VSM operation, press the
ESC OFF button. ESC OFF indicator
light (
) will illuminate.
To turn on VSM, press the ESC OFF button again. The ESC OFF indicator light will go out.
WARNING
If ESC indicator light (
) or
EPS
warning light () stays on, your
vehicle may have a malfunction
with the VSM system. When the
warning light illuminates we recommend
that the vehicle be
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
NOTICE
Driving with wheels and tires with different 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 tires and wheels installed.
