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.

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.

(1) Be sure to wear the seat belt.
(2) Do not drive in challenging off-road condi-
tions or areas that exceed the vehicle's
basic design intent or the driver's experi-
ence level.
(3) Drive at lower speeds in strong cross-
winds. Because of your vehicle's high cen-
ter of gravity, its stability will be affected in
crosswinds. Slower speeds ensure better
vehicle control.
(4) Check the brake condition after driving in
wet or muddy conditions. Press the brake
several times as you move slowly until you
feel normal braking forces return.
(5) Do not drive the vehicle through water.
(i.e. streams, rivers, lakes, etc.)
(6) The stopping distance of the full-time 4WD
vehicle differs very little from that of the
2WD vehicle.
When driving on a snow-coverd road or a
slippery, muddy surface, make sure that
you keep a sufficient distance between
your vehicle and the one ahead of you.
(7) Since the driving torque is always applied
to the 4 wheels, the performance of the
full-time 4WD vehicle is greatly affected by
the condition of the tires. Be sure to equip
it with all four tires of the same size and
type.
