Indicator and Warning
The TCS indicator should illuminate when the
ignition key is turned to ON or START but should
go out after approximately three seconds.
If the indicator does not illuminate, have the
system checked by an authorized dealer.
Should there be any unusual conditions in the
TCS system while driving, 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 the TCS indicator illuminates, trac-
tion control is automatically deactivated.
C300B01O-AAT
TCS ON Mode
When the TCS is operating, the TCS indicator
in the instrument cluster will blink.
NOTE:
1) The TCS mode will automatically be
turned ON after the engine is turned off
and restarted.
2) When the traction control system is op-
erating properly, you can feel a slight
pulsation in the vehicle. This is only the
effect of the brake control and indicates
nothing unusual.
3) When the engine starts, a click may be
heard from the engine compartment;
however, this is the sound of the traction
control being checked.
4) When moving out of the mud or fresh
snow, pressing the accelerator pedal
may not cause the engine speed to in-
crease due to TCS operation.

!
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, gently
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.
