DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
CAUTION:
effect of brake control and indicates noth-
ing unusual.
3) When the engine starts, a click is heard
from the engine compartment; however,
this is only the sound of traction control
being checked.
4) When moving out of the mud or fresh
snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may
not cause the engine speed to increase
due to TCS operation.
NOTE:
When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIP control
has been activated. It also means that the
road is slippery or your car is accelerating
excessively. In this situation, gently release
foot pressure from the accelerator pedal
and maintain moderate speed.
1) When the TCS-OFF indicator illuminates,
traction control is automatically deacti-
vated for safety.
2) This warning function is not provided
when the driver selects the TCS-OFF
mode.
WARNING:
SC150A1-F
Traction control is only a driving aid; all
normal precautions for driving in inclement
weather and on slippery road surfaces
should be observed.
DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
You can save fuel and get more miles from your
car if you follow these suggestions:

Indicators and Warning
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.
The indicators should illuminate when the igni-
tion key is turned to ON or START but should
go out after three seconds.
If the indicators do not illuminate, or the TCS or
TCS-OFF indicator does not go out after 3
seconds, have it checked by an authorized
dealer.

TCS ON/OFF Mode
When the TCS is running, the TCS indicator
light in the instrument cluster will blink.
If you turn the system off by pressing the TCS
switch, the TCS-OFF indicator light will come
on and stay on. In the TCS-OFF mode, the
SLIP control will be deactivated. Adjust you
driving accordingly. To turn the system back
on, press the switch again. The TCS-OFF indi-
cator light should go off.
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 while driving, TCS-OFF indicator illumi-
nates as a warning.
If TCS-OFF indicator illuminates, 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
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-
NOTE:

) The TCS mode will automatically be
turned ON after the engine is turned off
and restarted.
If the indicator remains lit even after the engine
has been started, have your car checked by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.

) When the traction control system is op-
erating properly, you can feel a slight
pulsation in the vehicle. This is only the
