The traction control system (TCS) limits the degree of slippage of the drive wheels on slippery road surfaces, thereby facilitating the acceleration of the vehicle. In addition, it provides sufficient traction on the drive wheels and vehicle control when cornering under acceleration.
Preventing slippage
The system limits the slippage of the drive wheels when starting off and when cornering under acceleration on a slippery road, thereby preventing a reduction in the traction force of the drive wheels.
Driving with PPS
The PPS system does not act directly on the brakes. Reduce speed before entering a turn.
Note: Flashing of the TCS indicator lamp indicates that the TCS has come into operation. It also indicates that the road is slippery or that acceleration is too abrupt. In this situation, ease off the accelerator pedal and maintain a moderate speed.
Warning: PPS only provides assistance in driving a vehicle. Its presence does not cancel out the need to take all safety precautions when driving in difficult weather conditions or on slippery roads.
Turning PPS on and off
When the system is switched on, the corresponding indicator lamp in the instrument cluster flashes.
When the system is switched off by pressing the switch, the PPS control lamp lights up continuously. When switched off, the slip control is stopped.
This should be taken into account when driving. To turn the system on, press the switch again. The control lamp should go out.
Note:
- 1) Stop the engine, start it again: the PPS will turn on automatically.
- 2) During normal operation of the PPS, a slight vibration may be felt in the car, which is caused by the system's effect on the brakes and is not something unusual.
- 3) When starting the engine, a clicking sound is heard from the engine compartment, which indicates that the traction control system is being checked.
- 4) When starting off on liquid mud or freshly fallen snow, the engine speed may not increase when the accelerator pedal is pressed as a result of the PPS action.
System indicator lights
When the ignition key is turned to the "ON" or "START" position, the indicator lights should come on and go out after three seconds.
If the lamps do not light or do not go out after 3 seconds, have them checked by an authorized dealer.
If there is any malfunction in the system, the "TCS-OFF" control lamp lights up.

If the "TCS-OFF" indicator light is on or flashing, stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the engine.
After this, start the engine again and make sure that the "TCS-OFF" indicator lamp does not light.
If the light remains on after the engine is started, have the system checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
Note:
- 1) If the "TCS-OFF" indicator lamp lights up, the traction control system is automatically switched off for safety reasons.
- 2) This function does not work if the driver turns off the system himself.
