DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

BRAKE TRACTION
CONTROL SYSTEM (BTCS)
o Driving on rough, gravel or snow-
covered 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 ve-
hicle should be driven at reduced
speeds. The safety features of an
ABS (ESP) equipped vehicle should
not be tested by high speed driving
or cornering. This could endanger
the safety of yourself or others.
C300A01O-GAT
(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.
SLIP Control
Limits the drive wheels from spinning
excessively during starting or while
making accelerated turns on slippery
roads to avoid losing the driving force
of the front wheels.
Driving hints
TCS does not actively apply brakes.
Be sure to decelerate the car suffi-
ciently before entering curves.
!
WARNING:
ABS (ESP) will not prevent accidents
due to improper or dangerous driv-
ing maneuvers. Even though vehicle
control is improved during emer-
gency braking, always maintain a
safe distance between you and ob-
jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should
always be reduced during extreme
road conditions.
The braking distance for cars
equipped with an anti-lock braking
system may be longer than for those
without it in the following road con-
ditions.
