2012 Hyundai I30 Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
NOTICE
(Continued)
A  click   sound  may   be  heard   in  the
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.
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.
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.
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.
W-78
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.
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.  We   recommend   that  you
contact  an  authorized  HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.
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. Depress  your  brake pedal
as hard as possible or as hard as the sit-
uation allows the ABS to control the force
being delivered to the brakes.
