Indicators and Warning
The indicators should illuminate when
the ignition key is turned to ON or
START but should go out after three
seconds. If the indicators do not illumi-
nate, or the TCS or TCS-OFF indicator
does not go out after 3 seconds, have
it checked by an authorized dealer.
Should there be any unusual condi-
tions in the device while driving, TCS-
OFF indicator illuminates as a warning.
If TCS-OFF indicator illuminates, pull
your car to a safe place and stop the
engine. Then, start the engine again to
check if the TCS-OFF 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:
1) When the TCS-OFF indicator il-
luminates, traction control is au-
tomatically deactivated for safety.
2) This warning function is not pro-
vided when the driver selects the
TCS-OFF mode.
NOTE:
1) The TCS mode will automatically
be turned ON after the engine is
turned off and restarted.
2) When the traction control is op-
erating properly, you can feel a
slight pulsation in the vehicle.
This is only the effect of brake
control and indicates nothing
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.
4) When moving out of the mud or
fresh snow, pressing the accel-
erator pedal may not cause the
engine speed to increase due to
TCS operation.

(If installed)
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
system is designed to stabilize the
vehicle during cornering manuevers.
ESP checks where you are steering
and where the vehicle is actually go-
ing. ESP applies the brakes at indi-
vidual wheels and intervenes in the
engine management system to stabi-
lize the vehicle.
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
system is an electronic system de-
signed to help the driver maintain ve-
hicle control under adverse conditions.
It is not a substitute for safe driving
practices. Factors including speed,
road conditions and driver steering

effective in preventing a loss of con-

and corner at reasonable speeds and
to leave a sufficient margin of safety.

size may cause the ESP system to
malfunction. When replacing tires,
make sure they are the same size as
your original tires.
WARNING:
Electronic stability program is only
a driving aid; all normal precau-
tions for driving in inclement
weather and on slippery road sur-
faces should be observed.
