DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 11

!
WARNING:
o Driving on rough, gravel or snow-cov-
ered roads.
o Driving with tire chains installed.
o Driving on roads where the road surface
is pitted or has different surface height.
During these conditions the vehicle 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.
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 driven wheels.
Driving hints
TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sure to
decelerate the car sufficiently before entering
curves.

BRAKE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
(BTCS) (If installed)
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.
CAUTION:
When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIP func-
tion has been activated. It also means that
the road is slippery or your car is accelerat-
ing excessively. In this situation, release
foot pressure from the accelerator pedal
and maintain moderate speed.
WARNING:
Traction control is only a driving aid; all
normal precautions for driving in inclement
weather and on slippery road surfaces
should be observed.

TCS ON Mode
In the TCS ON mode, the TCS indicator light in
the instrument cluster will blink.
NOTE:
1) Turn off the engine. Then restart the
engine, and the TCS mode will automati-
cally turn ON.
2) When the traction control system is op-
erating properly, you can feel a slight
pulsation in the vehicle. This is only the
effect of brake control and indicates
nothing 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 in-
crease.
