ating properly, you can feel a slight pulsa- tion in the vehicle. This is only the effect ofbrake control and indicates nothing un-usual.
3) When the engine starts, a click is heard from the engine compartment; however,this is only the sound of traction controlbeing checked.
4) When moving out of the mud or fresh snow, pressing the accelerator pedal maynot cause the engine speed to increasedue to TCS operation.
C310D01O-AAT Indicators and Warning The indicators should illuminate when the igni- tion key is turned to ON or START but should goout after three seconds.If the indicators do not illuminate, or the TCS orTCS-OFF indicator does not go out after 3 sec-onds, have it checked by an authorized dealer. Should there be any unusual conditions in the device while driving, TCS-OFF indicator illumi-nates as a warning.If TCS-OFF indicator illuminates, pull your car toa safe place and stop the engine.Then, start the engine again to check if the TCS-OFF indicator goes out.
C300A03Y-GAT TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS) (If installed)
HGK156A
CAUTION: When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIP controlhas been activated. It also means that theroad is slippery or your car is acceleratingexcessively. In this situation, gently releasefoot pressure from the accelerator pedal andmaintain moderate speed. WARNING: Traction control is only a driving aid; allnormal precautions for driving in inclementweather and on slippery road surfaces shouldbe observed.
On slippery road surfaces, the traction controlsystem (TCS) limits the drive wheels from spin-ning excessively, thus helping the car to acceler-ate. It also provides sufficient driving force andsteering performance as the car turns at acceler-ated speeds. SLIP Control Limits the drive wheels from spinning exces- sively during starting or while making accelerat-ed turns on slippery roads to avoid losing thedriving force of the front wheels. Driving hints TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sure to decelerate the car sufficiently before enteringcurves. C310B01O-AAT TCS ON/OFF Mode When the TCS is running, the TCS indicator light in the instrument cluster will blink.If you turn the system off by pressing the TCSswitch, the TCS-OFF indicator light will come onand stay on. In the TCS-OFF mode, the SLIPcontrol will be deactivated. Adjust you drivingaccordingly. To turn the system back on, pressthe switch again. The TCS-OFF indicator lightshould go off. NOTE:
1) The TCS mode will automatically be turned
ON after the engine is turned off and re-started.

off your engine and restart only when you're ready to go.
o Remember, your Hyundai does not require extended warm-up. As soon as the engine isrunning smoothly, you can drive away. Invery cold weather, however, give your enginea slightly longer warm-up period.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in too high a gear result-ing in the engine bucking. If this happens, shiftto a lower gear. Over-revving is racing theengine beyond its safe limit. This can beavoided by shifting at the recommendedspeeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is operated by enginepower so your fuel economy is reduced whenyou use it.
crease wear on these components. In addi-tion, driving with your foot resting on the brakepedal may cause the brakes to overheat,which reduces their effectiveness and maylead to more serious consequences.
o Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pressure. Incorrect infla-tion, either too much or too little, results inunnecessary tire wear. Check the tire pres-sures at least once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper alignment can result from hittingcurbs or driving too fast over irregular surfac-es. Poor alignment causes faster tire wearand may also result in other problems as wellas greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For better fuel economy and reduced maintenancecosts, maintain your car in accordance withthe maintenance schedule in Section 5. If youdrive your car in severe conditions, morefrequent maintenance is required (see Sec-tion 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your Hyundai should be kept clean and free ofcorrosive materials. It is especially importantthat mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed toaccumulate on the underside of the car. Thisextra weight can result in increased fuel con-sumption and also contribute to corrosion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than neces- sary. If you are waiting (and not in traffic), turn C150A01A-AAT
SMOOTH CORNERING
Avoid braking or gear changing in corners, espe-cially when roads are wet. Ideally, corners shouldalways be taken under gentle acceleration. If youfollow these suggestions, tire wear will be held toa minimum. C160A01A-AAT WINTER DRIVING The more severe weather conditions of winter result in greater wear and other problems. Tominimize the problems of winter driving, youshould follow these suggestions:
If the indicator remains lit even after the enginehas been started, have your car checked by anauthorized Hyundai dealer. NOTE:
1) When the TCS-OFF indicator illuminates,
traction control is automatically deacti-vated for safety.
2) This warning function is not provided when the driver selects the TCS-OFF mode.
C140A01A-GAT DRIVING FOR ECONOMY You can save fuel and get more kilometers from your car if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts or full- throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruisingspeed. Don't race between stoplights. Try toadjust your speed to that of the other traffic soyou don't have to change speeds unneces-sarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible.Always maintain a safe distance from othervehicles so you can avoid unnecessary brak-ing. This also reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving ata moderate speed, especially on the high-way, is one of the most effective ways toreduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This can increase fuel consumption and also in-
