DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
o
Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with
the accelerator pedal. This can cause the
transmission to overheat. Always use the
brake pedal or parking brake.
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.
Drivinghints
TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sure
to decelerate the car sufficiently before enter-
ing curves.
o
Driving on rough, gravel or snow-cov-
ered roads.
Driving with tyre chains installed.
Driving on roads where the road sur-
face is pitted or has different surface
height.
CAUTION:
SC140B1-E
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
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.

(Not all models)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is de-
signed to prevent wheel lock-up during sud-
den braking or on hazardous road surfaces.
The ABS control module monitors the wheel
speed and controls the pressure applied to
each brake. Thus, in emergency situations or
on slick roads, ABS will increase vehicle con-
trol during braking.
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:
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.
NOTE:
During ABS operation, a slight pulsation
may be felt in the brake pedal when the
brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be
heard in the engine compartment whilst
braking. These conditions are normal and
indicate that the anti-lock brake system is
functioning properly.

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.
WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents due to im-
proper or dangerous driving maneuvers.
Even though vehicle control is improved
during emergency braking, always maintain
a safe distance between you and objects
ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be
reduced during extreme road conditions.
SLIP Control
Limits the drive wheels from spinning exces-
sively during starting or whilst making accel-
erated turns on slippery roads to avoid losing
the driving force of the front wheels.
