care to keep the car under control at
all times. If the braking action does

it  is  safe to  do  so  and  call  your
Hyundai dealer for assistance.
o  Don't coast down hills  with the car
out of gear. This is  extremely haz-
ardous. Keep the car in  gear at all
times, use the brakes to slow down,
then shift  to  a lower  gear so  that
engine braking will help  you main-
tain a safe speed.
o  Don't "ride" the brake  pedal. Rest-
ing  your foot  on  the  brake pedal
while driving can be dangerous be-
cause  it can  result  in  the brakes
overheating and losing  their effec-
tiveness. It also increases the wear
of the brake components.
o  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.
o  Use caution when parking on a hill.

the gear selector lever in "P" (auto-
matic transaxle) or in first or reverse
gear (manual transaxle). If your car

uphill, turn  the  front wheels  away
from the curb to  help keep the car
from rolling.
o  Do not hold the  vehicle on the up-
gradewiththeacceleratorpedal.This
can cause the transmission to over-
heat. Always use the brake pedal or

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
(If Installed)
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.
If there is no curb or if it is required
by other conditions to keep the car
from rolling, block the wheels.
o  Under some  conditions your park-
ing brake can freeze in the engaged
position. This is most likely to hap-
pen 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 tem-
porarily while you put  the gear se-
lector lever in "P" (automatic) or  in
first   or   reverse   gear    (manual
transaxle)andblocktherearwheels
so the car cannot roll. Then release
the parking brake.

matic transaxle,  don't let  your car
