2008 Kia Amanti Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
WARNING - ABS Brakes
Your  ABS  is   not  a substitute   for
good  driving  judgement.   You  can
still have  an accident.   In fact, your
ABS system  will   probably  not  be
able  to prevent  an  accident  in  the
following driving  conditions:
The  ABS   system  continuously   senses
the speed of the wheels. If the wheels are
going to lock,  the ABS system  repeated-
ly  modulates  the  hydraulic  brake  pres-
sure to the  wheels.
When you  apply your brakes  under con-
ditions  which  may lock  the  wheels, you
may   hear   a  “tik-tik’’   sound   from   the
brakes, or feel a corresponding sensation
in the  brake pedal. This  is normal  and it
means your ABS  system is active.
In  order to  obtain  the maximum  benefit
from your  ABS system  in an emergency
situation,   do  not   attempt  to   modulate
your  brake  pressure  and  do  not  try  to
pump   your  brakes.   Press  your   brake
pedal as  hard as  possible or as  hard as
the situation warrants  and allow the ABS
system  to control  the  force  being deliv-
ered to the  brakes.
•  Even  with the  anti-lock  brake system,
your   vehicle   still  requires   sufficient
stopping  distance.  Always  maintain  a
safe distance  from the  vehicle in  front
of you.
•  Always   slow  down   when   cornering.
The anti-lock brake system cannot pre-
vent  accidents   resulting  from  exces-
sive speeds.
On  loose   or  uneven   road  surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock  brake system
may  result  in  a  longer  stopping   dis-
tance than for vehicles equipped with a
conventional brake system.
Dangerous     driving,  such     as
neglecting  safety   precautions,
speeding,  or driving  too close  to
the vehicle in  front of you.
Driving  at   high speed  in situa-
tions providing  considerably less
traction, such  as wet  conditions
where hydroplaning  could occur.
Driving too fast  on poor roadsur-
faces.  The  ABS   is  designed   to
improve  maximum braking  effec-
tiveness on  typical highways and
roads in good  condition. On poor
road surfaces in  poor  condition,
the   ABS   may   actually    reduce
braking effectiveness.
