DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
15
!
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 pres-
sure 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
driving surfaces should be observed.

TCS ON Mode
In the TCS ON mode, the indicator in
the instrument cluster will not be illumi-
nated.
NOTE:
1) Turn off the engine. Then restart
the engine, and the TCS mode will
automatically turn "ON".
2) When the traction control is oper-
ating 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 compart-
ment; however, this is only the
sound of traction control being
checked.
4) When moving out of the mud or
fresh snow, pressing the accelera-
tor pedal may not cause the en-
gine speed to increase.
C300D02O-GAT
Indicator and Warning
The indicator should illuminate when
the ignition key is turned to "ON" or "START",
but should go out after three seconds.
If the indicator does not illuminate, have
it checked by an Hyundai authorised
repairer.
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 Hyundai authorised re-
pairer.
NOTE:
When TCS illuminates, traction con-
trol is automatically deactivated for
safety.
