Driving your vehicle
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
WARNING
The ABS continuously senses the speed
of the wheels. If the wheels are going to
lock, the ABS system repeatedly modu-
lates the hydraulic brake pressure 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 is active.
In order to obtain the maximum benefit
from your ABS in an emergency situa-
tion, 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 situa-
tion allow the ABS to control the force
being delivered to the brakes.
WARNING
Press the accelerator pedal slow-
ly when you start the vehicle.
For your safety, cancel the AUTO
HOLD when you drive downhill or
back up the vehicle or park the
vehicle.

•
ABS (or ESP) will not prevent acci-
dents due to improper or danger-
ous
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.
CAUTION
If there is a malfunction with the dri-
ver’s door, hood or trunk open
detection system, the AUTO HOLD
may not work properly.
Take your vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the sys-
tem checked.
The braking distance for vehicle
equipped with an anti-lock braking
(or Electronic Stability
system
Program system) may be longer
than for those without it in the fol-
lowing road conditions.
During these conditions the vehicle
should
speeds:
be
driven
at
reduced
•
Rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.
•
•
With tire chains installed.
On roads where the road surface
is pitted or has different surface
height.
The safety features of an ABS (or
ESP) equipped vehicle should not
be tested by high speed driving or
cornering. This could endanger the
safety of yourself or others.
