The following observed behavior may be normal, but after nearly two years, I noticed it only during the past two weeks.

In Eco mode, during spirited acceleration from a stop, the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) indicator flashes a few times, then extinguishes. This occurs on smooth, level, bare-and-dry pavement; I detect no slippage of tires or anything unusual. These maneuvers typically involve turning during acceleration.

The manual states: “This indicator light blinks: While the ESC is operating.”

Does the ESC operate only during hard acceleration, turning or other conditions? Is the observed behavior normal?

Thanks,
Brian

Had this on other car (RWD): worn tires.

Thanks. This Tucson has an unusually low mileage of 5800 miles during nearly two years. The tread depth of the OEM Kumho Crugen tires measured 11/32" during 04/28/2018.

Spirited driving in "Eco" mode? I didn't think that was even possible. Does it do it in other modes, (ie; normal or sport if you have all three?)

Yes, it is possible.

I have not yet tried it in other modes; I will soon.
