Hyundai Palisade: 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
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 13 mph (22 km/h) on curve
roads.
- Vehicle speed is approximately
above 6 mph (10 km/h) when the
vehicle is braking on a two surface
road.
✱The two surface road is made of
surfaces which have different friction
forces.
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 rearward.
- ESC OFF indicator light is on.
- EPS (Electric Power Steering) warning
light () is on or blinks.
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.
WARNING
If ESC indicator light () or
EPS warning light () stays on
or blinks, your vehicle may have
a malfunction with the VSM system.
When the warning light illuminates,
have your vehicle
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.
The Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system helps to stabilize the
vehicle during cornering maneuvers.
ESC checks where you are steering
and where the vehicle is actually
going...
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...
Other information:
The Auto Hold maintains the vehicle
in a standstill even though the brake
pedal is not depressed after the driver
brings the vehicle to a complete
stop by depressing the brake pedal.
To apply :
1. With the driver's door and engine
hood closed, depress the brake
pedal and then press the [AUTO
HOLD] switch...
