DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents due
to improper or dangerous driving
manoeuvres. Even though vehicle
control is improved during emer-
gency braking, always maintain a
safe distance between you and ob-
jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should
always be reduced during extreme
road conditions.
The braking distance for cars
equipped with an anti-lock braking
system may be longer than for those
without it in the following road con-
ditions. These roads should be
driven at reduced speeds.
o Rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.
o With tyre chains installed.
o On roads where the road surface
is pitted or has different surface
height.
!
The safety features of an ABS
equipped vehicle should not be tested
by high speed driving or cornering.
This could endanger the safety of
yourself or others.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
(ABS)
C120A03A-EAT
(Not all models)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is
designed to prevent wheel lock-up
during sudden braking or on hazard-
ous road surfaces. The ABS control
module monitors the wheel speed and
controls the pressure applied to each
brake. Thus, in emergency situations
or on slick roads, ABS will increase
vehicle control during braking.
NOTE:
o A click sound may be heard in the
engine compartment when the ve-
hicle begins to move after the en-
gine is started. These conditions
are normal and indicate that the
anti-lock brake system (Electronic
Stability Program) is functioning
properly.
o During ABS operation, a slight
pulsation may be felt in the brake
pedal when the brakes are ap-
plied. Also, a noise may be heard
in the engine compartment while
braking. These conditions are
normal and indicate that the anti-
lock brake system is functioning
properly.
