DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
3)
4)
When the engine starts, a click is heard
from the engine compartment; however,
this is only the sound of traction control
being checked.
When moving out of the mud or fresh
snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may
not cause the engine speed to increase.
2) This warning function is not provided
when the driver choose the TCS-OFF
mode.

Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated
to the recommended pressure. Incorrect infla-
tion, either too much or too little, results in
unnecessary tire wear. Check the tire pres-
sures at least once a month.

DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
You can save fuel and get more miles from your
car if you follow these suggestions:
Be sure that the wheels are aligned cor-
rectly. Improper alignment can result from
hitting curbs or driving too fast over irregular
surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tire
wear and may also result in other problems
as well as greater fuel consumption.
Keep your car in good condition. For better
fuel economy and reduced maintenance
costs, maintain your car in accordance with
the maintenance schedule in Section 5. If
you drive your car in severe conditions,
more frequent maintenance is required (see
Section 5 for details).
Keep your car clean. For maximum service,
your car should be kept clean and free of
corrosive materials. It is especially impor-
tant that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed to
accumulate on the underside of the car. This
extra weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute to corro-
sion.

o
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate
rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts or full-
throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruising
speed. Don't race between stoplights. Try to
adjust your speed to that of the other traffic
so you don't have to change speeds unnec-
essarily.
Indicator and Warning
The indicator should illuminate when the igni-
tion key is turned to ON or START but should
go out after three seconds.
If the indicator does not illuminate, or the TCS
indicator does not go out after 3 seconds, have
it checked by an authorized dealer.
o
o
Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible. Al-
ways maintain a safe distance from other
vehicles so you can avoid unnecessary brak-
ing. This also reduces brake wear.
Should there be any unusual conditions in the
device, TCS-OFF either illuminates or blinks as
a warning.
If TCS-OFF illuminates or blinks, pull your car
to a safe place and stop the engine.
Then, start the engine again to check if the
TCS-OFF indicator goes out.
o
o
Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you
drive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving at
a moderate speed, especially on the high-
way, is one of the most effective ways to
reduce fuel consumption.
Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This
can increase fuel consumption and also
increase wear on these components. In ad-
dition, driving with your foot resting on the
brake pedal may cause the brakes to over-
heat, which reduces their effectiveness and
may lead to more serious consequences.
If the indicator remains lit even after the engine
has been started, have your car checked by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
o
o
Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight
in your car. Weight is an enemy of good fuel
economy.
Don't let the engine idle longer than neces-
sary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic),
turn off your engine and restart only when
you're ready to go.
NOTE:
1)
When TCS-OFF illuminates or blinks, trac-
tion control is automatically deactivated
for safety.
