Driving your vehicle
Using ABS
On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock brake sys-
tem may result in a longer stopping
distance than for vehicles equipped
with a conventional brake system.
CAUTION
To obtain the maximum benefit from
your ABS in an emergency situation,
do not attempt to modulate your brake
pressure and do not try to pump your

on for several seconds after the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON
position. 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 prob-
lem with your ABS. We recommend
that you contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the wheels,
you may hear sounds from the brakes,
or feel a corresponding sensation in
the brake pedal. This is normal and it
means your ABS is active.
ABS does not reduce the time or dis-
tance it takes to stop the vehicle.
Always maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle in front of you.
ABS will not prevent a skid that results
from sudden changes in direction,
such as trying to take a corner too fast
or making a sudden lane change.
Always drive at a safe speed for the
road and weather conditions.
ABS cannot prevent a loss of stability.
Always steer moderately when brak-
ing hard. Severe or sharp steering
wheel movement can still cause your
vehicle to veer into oncoming traffic or
off the road.

Pull your car over to a safe place
and turn the engine off.
Restart the engine. If the ABS
warning light is off, then your
ABS system is normal.
Otherwise, you may have a prob-
lem with your ABS system. We
recommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.
WARNING
If the ABS warning light (
) is
on and stays on, you may have
a problem with the ABS. Your
power brakes will work normal-
ly. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, we recommend
that you contact your HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.
✽ NOTICE
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the
ABS warning light (
) may turn
on at the same time. This happens
because of the low battery voltage. It
does not mean your ABS is malfunc-
tioning. Have the battery recharged
before driving the vehicle.
