Indicators and Warning
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.
When the TCS is operating, the TCS indicator
in the instrument cluster will blink.
The TCS indicators should illuminate when the
ignition 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 the system checked by an
authorized dealer.
If you turn the system off by pressing the TCS
switch, the TCS-OFF indicator will come on and
stay on. In the TCS-OFF mode, the SLIP control
will be deactivated. Adjust you driving accord-
ingly. To turn the system back on, press the
switch again. The TCS-OFF indicator should go
off.
Drivinghints
TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sure to
decelerate the car sufficiently before entering
curves.
Should there be any unusual conditions in the
TCS system while driving, TCS-OFF indicator
illuminates 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.
NOTE:
!
1)
The TCS mode will automatically be
turned "ON" after the engine is turned
off and restarted.
When the traction control system is
operating properly, you can feel a slight
pulsation in the vehicle. This is only the
effect of brake control and indicates
nothing unusual.
CAUTION:
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.
2)
If the indicator remains lit even after the engine
has been started, have your car checked by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
3)
4)
When the engine starts, a click may be
heard from the engine compartment;
this is the sound of the traction control
being checked.
When moving out of the mud or fresh
snow, pressing the accelerator pedal
may not cause the engine speed to in-
crease due to TCS operation.
NOTE:
1) When the TCS-OFF indicator illuminates,
traction control is automatically deacti-
vated .
2) This warning function is not provided
when the driver selects the TCS-OFF
mode.
!
WARNING:
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.
