DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
The braking distance for cars equipped
with an anti-lock braking system may be
longer than for those without it in the
following road conditions.
Driving hints
3) When the engine starts, a click is heard
from the engine compartment; however,
this is only the sound of traction control
being checked.
TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sure
to decelerate the car sufficiently before enter-
ing curves.
4)
When moving out of the mud or fresh
snow, pressing the accelerator pedal
may not cause the engine speed to
increase.
o
Driving on rough, gravel or snow-cov-
ered roads.
CAUTION:
When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIP con-
trol has been activated. It also means that
the road is slippery or your car is acceler-
ating excessively. In this situation, release
foot pressure from the accelerator pedal
and maintain moderate speed.
o
o
Driving with tyre chains installed.
Driving on roads where the road sur-
face is pitted or has different surface
height.

Indicator and Warning
The indicator should illuminate when the igni-
tion key is turned to "ON" or "START", but
These roads should be driven at reduced
speeds. The safety features of an ABS
equipped vehicle should not be tested by
high speed driving or cornering. This could
endanger the safety of yourself or others.
WARNING:
should go out
after three seconds.
Traction control is only a driving aid; all
normal precautions for driving in inclem-
ent weather and on slippery driving sur-
faces should be observed.
If the indicator does not illuminate, have it
checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
Should there be any unusual conditions in the
device, TCS illuminates as a warning.
If TCS illuminates, pull your car to a safe
place and stop the engine.
Then, start the engine again to check if the
TCS indicator goes out.
If the indicator remains lit even after the
engine has been started, have your car
checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

TCS ON Mode
In the TCS ON mode, the indicator in the
instrument cluster will not be illuminated.
On slippery road surfaces, the traction control
system (TCS) limits the drive wheels from
spinning excessively, thus helping the car to
accelerate. It also provides sufficient driving
force and steering performance as the car
turns at accelerated speeds.
NOTE:
1) Turn off the engine. Then restart the
engine, and the TCS mode will auto-
matically turn "ON".
2) When the traction control is operating
properly, you can feel a slight pulsation
in the vehicle. This is only the effect of
brake control and indicates nothing
unusual.
NOTE:
When TCS illuminates, traction control is
automatically deactivated for safety.
SLIP Control
Limits the drive wheels from spinning exces-
sively during starting or while making acceler-
ated turns on slippery roads to avoid losing
the driving force of the front wheels.
