2012 Hyundai Accent Owners Manual

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 warrants  and allow the ABS  to con-
trol   the  force   being  delivered   to  the
brakes.
ABS (or ESC) 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.

Check the  brake warning light  by turning

equipped with  an anti-lock braking
system
(or   Electronic    Stability
Control system) may be longer than
for those without it  in the following
road conditions.
Before driving, be  sure the parking brake
is  fully released  and  the  brake  warning
light is off.
If the brake warning light remains on after
the  parking brake  is  released  while  the
engine  is running,  there  may be  a mal-
function in  the  brake system.  Immediate
attention is necessary.
If at  all possible, cease  driving the vehi-
cle  immediately. If  that  is  not  possible,
use extreme  caution while operating the
vehicle  and  only  continue  to  drive  the
vehicle until  you can  reach a  safe loca-
tion or repair shop.
During these conditions  the vehicle
should be driven at reduced speeds:
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
ESC)  equipped vehicle  should not
be tested  by high speed  driving or
cornering. This could endanger the
safety of yourself or others.
