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.

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.
