Kia Optima: Traction Control System
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 improved driving force and steering performance as the car turns at accelerated speeds.
CAUTION
When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIP control function 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 a driving aid; all normal precautions for driving in inclement weather and on slippery road surfaces should be observed.
To Reset at a Slower Speed
1. Press the COAST/SET switch and hold it. While the switch is pressed, the vehicle
speed will gradually decrease.
2. When the desired speed is obtained, release the COAST/SET switch.
