Hyundai i-30: Braking system / Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM)
The Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM) is a function of the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system. It
helps ensure the vehicle stays stable
when accelerating or braking suddenly
on wet, slippery and rough
roads where traction over the four
tyres 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 9 mph (15 km/h) on curve
roads.
- Vehicle speed is approximately
above 12 mph (20 km/h) 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 a banked road such as
gradient or incline.
- Driving in reverse.
- The ESC OFF indicator light is on.
- The EPS (Electric power steering)
warning light () is on or
blinks.
WARNING
If the ESC indicator light ()
or
EPS warning light () stays
or blinks, your vehicle may have
a malfunction with the VSM system.
When the warning light illuminates
we recommend that the
vehicle be checked by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer
as soon as possible.
NOTICE
Driving with wheels and tyres with
different sizes may cause the VSM
system to malfunction. Before
replacing tyres, make sure all four
tyres and wheels are the same
size. Never drive the vehicle with
different sized tyres and wheels
installed.
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 the ESC, to
maintain wheel torque...
The Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
helps prevent the vehicle from rolling
backwards when starting a vehicle
from a stop on a hill. The system
operates the brakes automatically for
approximately 2 seconds and releases
the brake after 2 seconds or when
the accelerator pedal is depressed...
