Hyundai Elantra: Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) / 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.

The VSM does not operate when:
- Driving on a banked road such as gradient or incline.
- Driving rearward.
- ESC OFF indicator light is on.

is on or blinks.
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.

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.
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.
