C300D02O-AAT
Indicator and Warning
The indicator should illuminate when the ignition 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 while driving, TCS illuminates as a warn-ing.
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 TCS indicator illuminates, traction control is automatically deactivated for safety.

FULL TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (FTCS) (3.5 L only) (If installed)
On slippery road surfaces, the traction control system (TCS) limits the drive wheels from spinning excessively, thus helping the car to accelerate. It also provides sufficient driving force and steering performance as the car turns at accelerated speeds.
HSM434
SLIP Control
Limits the drive wheels from spinning exces-sively during starting or while making acceler-ated turns on slippery roads to avoid losing the driving force of the front wheels.
Driving hints
TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sure to decelerate the car sufficiently before entering curves.
CAUTION:
When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIP control has been activated. It also means that the road is slippery or your car is accelerating excessively. In this situation, 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.

Indicators and Warning
The indicators should illuminate when the igni-tion key is turned to ON or START but should go out after three seconds.
If the indicators do not illuminate, 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 conditions in the device while driving, TCS-OFF indicator illumi-nates 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 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.
C310B01O-AAT
TCS ON/OFF Mode
In the TCS-ON mode, the TCS indicator light in the instrument cluster will blink.
If you turn the system off by pressing the TCS switch, the TCS-OFF indicator light will come on and stay on. In the TCS-OFF mode, the SLIP control will be deactivated. Adjust you driving accordingly. To turn the system back on, press the switch again. The TCS-OFF indicator light should go off.
NOTE:
1) Turn off the engine. Then restart the engine, and the TCS mode will automati-cally turn ON.
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 brake control and indicates nothing unusual.
3) When the engine starts, a click is heard from the engine compartment; however, this is only the sound of 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.

Full-Time 4WD Operation (If installed) 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 traction 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 conditions provide less traction and braking effectiveness 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 conditions is always the driver's responsibility for the safety of him/herself and his or her passengers.
When driving on a snow-covered 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 con-dition of the tires. Be sure to equip it with all four tires of the same size and type.
o When replacement of any of the tires or disc wheels is necessary, replace all of them.
o Rotate the tires and check the tire pres-sure at regular intervals.
(8) The full-time 4WD vehicle cannot be towed by an ordinary tow truck. Make sure that the vehicle is towed with its four wheels raised off the ground.
o Roadside Assistance Program:
Off-roading is not covered. To receive service, the vehicle must be on a publicly maintained road.
o If the vehicle is towed with its only two wheels raised off the ground, the 4WD system could be damaged.
o In unavoidable case, if the vehicle is being towed with all four wheels on the ground, it should be towed only forward direction with rope.
o While towing, check the following items.
1. The ignition switch is in "ACC" or
"ON".
2. Place the shift lever in neutral (For Automatic Transaxle, "N" position).
3. Release the parking brake.
NOTE:
To avoid serious damage to your 4WD ve-hicle, limit towing to 10 mph and not for more than 1 mile at ANY TIME.
(9)For speedometer test or inspection/mainte-nance (I/M) program of SANTA FE 4WD, use a four wheel chassis dynamometer.
HSM281
Roll tester(Speedometer)
Temporary free roller
o In rare cases when it's unavoidable that a 4WD vehicle is to be inspected for speedometer test on 2WD roll tester, strictly follow the procedures next.
CAUTION:
Never engage the parking brake while per-forming these tests.

WARNING:This vehicle is designed primarily for on road use. Driving the vehicle in challenging off-road conditions for which it was not designed may result in damage to the ve-hicle. Driving in conditions that exceed the vehicle's intended design or the driver's experience level may result in severe injury or death.
Driving 4WD Safely
(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 crosswinds.
Because of your vehicle's high center of gravity, its stability will be affected in cross-winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehicle control.
(4) Check the brake condition after driving in wet or muddy conditions. Press the brake sev-eral 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.
!
1. Check the tire pressures recom-mended for your vehicle.
2. Place the front wheels on the roll tester for speedometer as shown in the illustration.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Place the rear wheels on the tempo-rary free roller as shown in the illustra-tion.
!
CAUTION:o While the full-time 4WD vehicle is being raised on a jack, never start the engine or cause the tires to rotate.
There is the danger that rotating tires touching the ground could cause the vehicle to go off the jack and to jump forward.
WARNING:
Keep away from the front of the vehicle while inspecting. This is very dangerous as the vehicle can jump forward and cause serious injury or death.
(10)When using tire chains, always attach them to the front wheels.
(11)If the front or rear wheels get stuck in the mud, do not spin them recklessly. The 4WD system could be damaged.
