Cruise Control operation

1. Cruise indicator

2. SET indicator

Cruise Control allows the Hyundai Accent to maintain a constant driving speed above 20 mph (30 km/h) without continuously depressing the accelerator pedal.

WARNING

Take the following precautions:

• Always set the vehicle speed below the posted speed limit.
• If Cruise Control is left ON (cruise indicator illuminated), it may be activated unintentionally. Turn Cruise Control OFF when not in use to avoid setting an unintended speed.
• Use Cruise Control only on open highways in good weather conditions.
• Do not use Cruise Control when it may be unsafe to maintain a constant speed.
• Do not use Cruise Control when:
  - Driving in heavy traffic or variable traffic conditions
  - Driving on rainy, icy, or snow-covered roads
  - Driving on hilly, winding, or windy roads
  - Driving with limited visibility due to fog, snow, rain, or sandstorms

NOTICE

During cruise-speed driving in a manual transmission Hyundai Accent, do not shift into neutral without depressing the clutch pedal. Doing so may cause engine over-revving. If this occurs, depress the clutch pedal or press the Cruise Control ON/OFF button.

Information

• During normal Cruise Control operation, when the SET switch is activated or reactivated after braking, Cruise Control will engage after approximately 3 seconds. This delay is normal.
• Before activating Cruise Control, the system checks that the brake switch operates correctly. Depress the brake pedal at least once after turning ON the ignition or starting the engine.

To set Cruise Control speed

1. Press the CRUISE button on the steering wheel to turn the system ON. The cruise indicator will illuminate.

2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which must be higher than 20 mph (30 km/h).

Information - Manual transmission

For manual transmission vehicles, depress the brake pedal at least once after starting the engine before setting Cruise Control.

3. Push the toggle switch down (SET-) and release it. The SET indicator light will illuminate.

4. Release the accelerator pedal.

Information

On steep slopes, the vehicle may slightly slow down or speed up when driving uphill or downhill. This is normal Cruise Control behavior.

Small addition: For best results, use Cruise Control in your Hyundai Accent on long, steady highway drives where traffic flow is consistent and road conditions are predictable.

To increase Cruise Control speed

Use these steps to raise your set speed smoothly and safely while using Cruise Control in your Hyundai Accent:

• Push the toggle switch up (RES+) and hold it while watching the SET speed shown on the instrument cluster. Release the toggle switch when the desired speed appears; the Hyundai Accent will accelerate to that selected speed.
• Push the toggle switch up (RES+) and release it immediately. The cruising speed will increase by 1.0 mph (1.6 km/h) each time the toggle switch is operated this way, making fine adjustments easy.
• Depress the accelerator pedal to temporarily speed up. When the vehicle reaches the speed you want, push the toggle switch down (SET-) to store and maintain that higher speed.

To decrease Cruise Control speed

Lower the set speed gradually to maintain comfort and stability in your Hyundai Accent, especially on wet or uneven roads:

• Push the toggle switch down (SET-) and hold it. Your vehicle will gradually slow down. Release the toggle switch at the speed you want to maintain.
• Push the toggle switch down (SET-) and release it immediately. The cruising speed will decrease by 1.0 mph (1.6 km/h) each time the toggle switch is operated in this manner.
• Lightly tap the brake pedal to slow the vehicle. When the Hyundai Accent attains the desired speed, push the toggle switch down (SET-) to set the new cruising speed.

To temporarily accelerate with Cruise Control ON

Depress the accelerator pedal. When you take your foot off the accelerator, the Hyundai Accent will return to the previously set Cruise Control speed, as long as the system has not been canceled.

If you push the toggle switch down (SET-) at the increased speed, Cruise Control will store and maintain the increased speed, which is useful for quick passes when conditions allow.

Cruise Control will be canceled when:

Any of the following actions will cancel Cruise Control operation in your Hyundai Accent (the SET indicator will go out):

• Depressing the brake pedal.
• Depressing the clutch pedal. (for manual transmission vehicle)
• Pressing the CANCEL button located on the steering wheel.
• Pressing the CRUISE button. Both the cruise indicator and the "SET" indicator will turn OFF.
• Moving the shift lever into N (Neutral). (for intelligent variable transmission)
• Decreasing the vehicle speed to less than approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
• The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is operating.
• Downshifting to the 2nd gear in manual shift mode. (for intelligent variable transmission)

Information

Each of the above actions will cancel Cruise Control operation (the "SET" indicator in the instrument cluster will go off), but only pressing the CRUISE button will turn the system off. If you wish to resume Cruise Control operation, push the toggle switch up (RES+) located on your steering wheel. You will return to your previously preset speed, unless the system was turned off using the CRUISE button.

To resume preset Cruising speed

Push the toggle switch up (RES+). If the vehicle speed is over 20 mph (30 km/h), the Hyundai Accent will resume the preset speed.

To turn Cruise Control off

• Press the CRUISE button (the cruise indicator light will go off), confirming Cruise Control is turned OFF.
• Turn the vehicle OFF.
