Traction Control System (Tcs) - Hyundai ELANTRA 2006 Owner's Manual

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS)

C300A02Y-GAT
(If installed)
C300A02E
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.
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
C310B01O-AAT
TCS ON/OFF Mode
When the TCS is running, the TCS
indicator in the instrument cluster will
blink.
If you turn the system off by pressing
the TCS switch, the TCS-OFF indica-
tor will come on and stay on. In the
TCS-OFF mode, the SLIP control will
be deactivated. Adjust you driving ac-
cordingly. To turn the system back on,
press the switch again. The TCS-OFF
indicator should go off.
NOTE:
1) The TCS mode will automatically
be turned "ON" after the engine
is turned off and restarted.
2) When the traction control sys-
tem is operating properly, you
can feel a slight pulsation in the
vehicle. This is only the effect of
brake control and indicates noth-
ing 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.
