Driving your vehicle
The ABS continuously senses the speed      NOTICE

engine  compartment  when  the  vehicle
begins to move after  the engine is start-
ed.  These  conditions   are  normal  and
indicate that the anti-lock brake system
is functioning properly.
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 warrants  and allow the ABS  to con-
trol   the  force   being  delivered   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.

CAUTION
If the ABS warning light  is on and
stays on, you may have a problem
with the ABS. In this case, howev-
er,  your regular  brakes  will  work
normally.
The ABS warning light will stay on
for approximately  3 seconds after
the  ignition switch  is ON.  During
that time, the ABS will go  through
self-diagnosis and the light will go
off  if everything  is  normal. If  the
light  stays  on,  you  may  have  a
problem  with  your  ABS. Contact
an authorized HYUNDAI  dealer as
soon as possible.
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.
