2002 Hyundai Atos Owners Manual

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
o
o
Don't "ride"  the brake pedal.  Resting your
foot on the brake pedal while driving can be
dangerous because it can result in the brakes
overheating and losing their effectiveness. It
also increases the wear of the brake compo-
nents.
If a tire goes flat while you are driving, apply
the brakes gently and keep the car pointed
straight ahead while you slow down. When
you are  moving slowly enough  for it to be
safe to do so, pull off the road and stop in a
safe place.
If your  car is  equipped with  an  automatic
transaxle, don't let your  car creep forward.
To avoid creeping  forward, keep your  foot
on the brake pedal when the car is stopped.
Use caution when parking on a hill. Engage
the parking brake and place the gear selec-
tor lever  in "P" (automatic  transaxle) or  in
first or  reverse gear (manual  transaxle). If
your  car is  facing downhill,  turn  the front
wheels into  the curb  to help keep  the car
from rolling. If your car is facing uphill, turn
the front wheels away from the curb to help
keep the car from rolling. If there is no curb
or if it is required by other conditions to keep
the car from rolling, block the wheels.
Under some conditions your parking brake
can freeze in the engaged position. This is
most  likely  to  happen  when  there  is  an
accumulation of snow or ice around or near
the rear brakes  or if the brakes  are wet. If
there is  a risk that  the parking brake  may
freeze, apply  it only temporarily  while you
put the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic)
or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle)
and block the rear wheels so the car cannot
roll. Then release the parking brake.
Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with
the accelerator  pedal. This can  cause the
transaxle to overheat. Always use the brake
pedal or parking brake.
WARNING:
Your ABS will not prevent accidents due to
improper or dangerous driving maneuvers.
Even  though vehicle  control  is  improved
during emergency braking, always maintain
a safe  distance  between you  and objects
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 conditions.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
(If installed)
o
o
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed
to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking
or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS con-
trol module monitors the wheel speed and con-
trols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus,
in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS
will increase vehicle control during braking.
o
Driving  on rough,  gravel or  snow-cov-
ered roads.
o
o
Driving with tire chains installed.
Driving on roads where the road surface
is pitted or has different surface height.
During these conditions the vehicle should
be  driven at  reduced  speeds.  The  safety
features of an ABS equipped vehicle should
not be tested by high speed driving or cor-
nering. This  could endanger  the safety  of
yourself or others.
NOTE:
During  ABS operation,  a  slight  pulsation
may  be felt  in  the  brake  pedal when  the
brakes are  applied.  Also, a  noise may  be
heard in the engine compartment while brak-
ing. These conditions are normal and  indi-
cate that the anti-lock brake system is func-
tioning properly.
