SLIP Control

Limits the drive wheels from spinning exces-

sively during starting or while making accelerat-

ed 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.

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.

2) 2) 2) 2) 2) When the traction control is operating

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 un-

usual.

3) 3) 3) 3) 3) When the engine starts, a click is heard

When the engine starts, a click is heard

from the engine compartment; however,

this is only the sound of traction control

being checked.

When moving out of the mud or fresh

snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may

not cause the engine speed to increase.

Indicator and Warning

The indicator should illuminate when the igni-

tion 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 authorized dealer.

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

authorized Hyundai dealer.

NOTE:

When TCS illuminates, traction control is

automatically deactivated for safety.

Full-time 4WD Operation (If installed)

Engine power can be delivered to all front and

rear wheels for maximum power. Full-time 4WD

is useful when good traction is required, such

as, when driving on slippery, wet or snow-

covered roads and when moving out of mud.

These vehicles, however, are not designed for

challenging off-road use. Full-time 4WD ve-

hicles are designed primarily to improve trac-

tion and performance on paved roads and high-

ways in wet and/or slippery conditions. Occa-

sional off-road use such as established un-

paved roads and trails is OK. It is always

important when traveling off-highway that the

driver carefully reduce their speed to a level

that does not exceed the safe operating speed

for those conditions. In general, off-road condi-

tions provide less traction and braking effec-

tiveness than on road conditions. These factors

must be carefully considered when driving off-

road. Keeping the vehicle in contact with the

driving surface and under control in these con-

ditions is always the driver's responsibility for

the safety of him/herself and his or her passen-

gers.

WARNING:

This vehicle is designed primarily for on

road use. Driving the vehicle in challenging

off-road conditions for which it was not

designed may result in damage to the ve-

hicle. Driving in conditions that exceed the

vehicle's intended design or the driver's
