DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 13
NOTE:
1) When TCS illuminates, traction
control is automatically deacti-
vated for safety.
2) This warning function is not pro-
vided when in the TCS-OFF mode.
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.
4) When moving out of the mud or
fresh snow, pressing the accel-
erator pedal may not cause the
engine speed to increase.

Indicator and Warning
The indicator should illuminate when
the ignition key is turned ON or START
but should go out after three seconds.
If the indicators do not illuminate or go
out after three seconds, have them
checked by an authorized dealer.
Should there be any unusual condi-
tions 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 do not go out after three
seconds even after the engine has
been started, have your car checked
by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES
WARNING:
Nothing should be carried on top of
the cargo area cover behind the
rear seat. If there were an accident
or a sudden stop, such objects
could move forward and cause dam-
age to the vehicle or injure the oc-
cupants.
o After being parked, check to be sure
the parking brake is not engaged
and that the parking brake indicator
light is out before driving away.
o Driving through water may get the
brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the car is washed. Wet brakes
can be dangerous! Your car will not
stop as quickly if the brakes are wet.
Wet brakes cause the car to pull to
one side. To dry the brakes, apply
the brakes lightly until the braking
action returns to normal, taking care
to keep the car under control at all
times. If the braking action does not
return to normal, stop as soon as it
is safe to do so and call your Hyundai
dealer for assistance.
o Don't coast down hills with the car
out of gear. This is extremely haz-
ardous. Keep the car in gear at all
times, use the brakes to slow down,
then shift to a lower gear so that
engine braking will help you main-
tain a safe speed.
o Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Rest-
ing your foot on the brake pedal
while driving can be dangerous be-
cause it can result in the brakes
overheating and losing their effec-
tiveness. It also increases the wear
of the brake components.
o If a tire goes flat while you are
driving, apply the brakes gently and
keep the car pointed straight ahead
while you slow down. When you are
moving slowly enough for it to be
safe to do so, pull off the road and
stop in a safe place.
