2012 Hyundai Sonata 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
ESC)  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. 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.  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.
