with the maximum fuel economy po-
tential of the vehicle being realized.
o Use only genuine Hyundai replace-
ment brake pads and shoes to en-
sure consistent friction characteris-
tics and wear rates.
o After driving through deep water
(e.g. fording), the brakes may be-

Always check brake efficiency after
emergingfromthewateranddrythe
brakes by lightly depressing the
brake pedal several times whilst
driving slowly.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
(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.

EFFECTIVE BRAKING
Braking system performance and fric-

the driving style adopted. The follow-
ing suggestions are made to assist in
achieving the best results from the
braking system.
o Apply the parking brake only when
the vehicle is at rest.
NOTE:
o Since the power assistance pro-
vided by the brake servo is derived
from the engine, coasting with the
engine turned off or towing of the
vehicle with the engine turned off
will result in greatly increased pedal
pressuresbeingrequiredtostopthe
vehicle.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the up-
grade with the accelerator pedal.
This can cause the transmission to
overheat. Always use the brake
pedal or parking brake.
During ABS operation, a slight pul-
sationmaybefeltinthebrakepedal
when the brakes are applied. Also,
a noise may be heard in the engine
compartmentwhilstbraking.These
conditions are normal and indicate
that the anti-lock brake system is
functioning properly.
o Anticipate the road and conditions
ahead in order that heavy braking
may be avoided.
o When descending long gradients,
use the engine to assist in retarding
the vehicle to minimize the possibil-
ity of brake fade occurring.
o When trailer towing, ensure that the
trailer brakes function correctly and
use engine braking to assist the
vehicle braking system.
