DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
in the vehicle. This is only the effect of
brake control and indicates nothing un-
usual.
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.
NOTE:
CAUTION:
1) When TCS-OFF illuminates or blinks, trac-
tion control is automatically deactivated
for safety.
2) This warning function is not provided
when the driver selects the TCS-OFF
mode.
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, release foot
pressure from the accelerator pedal and
maintain moderate speed.

DRIVING FOR ECONOMY
You can save fuel and get more miles from your
car if you follow these suggestions:
WARNING:
Traction control is only a driving aid; all
normal precautions for driving in inclement
weather and on slippery road surfaces
should be observed.

Indicator 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. Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-
sible. Always maintain a safe distance from
other vehicles so you can avoid unneces-
sary braking. This also reduces brake wear.
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.
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.

TCS ON/OFF Mode
In the TCS ON mode, the indicator in the
instrument cluster will not be illuminated.
To switch the TCS OFF mode, press the TCS
switch . To switch the TCS mode, press the
TCS switch again. In the TCS OFF mode, the
SLIP control will be deactivated and the TCS-
OFF indicator in the instrument cluster will be
illuminated.
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.

Turn off the engine. Then restart the
engine, and the TCS mode will automati-
cally turn ON.
When the traction control is operating
properly, you can feel a slight pulsation
If the indicator remains lit even after the engine
has been started, have your car checked by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
