DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
14
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 equipped vehicle should not
be tested by high speed driving or
cornering. This could endanger the
safety of yourself or others.
BRAKE TRACTION CONTROL
SYSTEM (BTCS)
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.
!
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, gently release foot
pressure from the accelerator pedal
and maintain moderate speed.
!
WARNING:
Traction control is only a driving
aid; all normal precautions for driv-
ing in inclement weather and on
slippery driving surfaces should be
observed.
