Anti-Lock Brake System (Abs) - Hyundai Accent 2010 Owner's Manual

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
C120A01FC-GAT
(If Installed)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is
designed to prevent wheel lock-up
during sudden braking or on hazard-
ous road surfaces. The ABS control
module monitors the wheel speed and
controls the pressure applied to each
brake. Thus, in emergency situations
or on slick roads, ABS will increase
vehicle control during braking.
NOTE:
o A click sound may be heard in the
engine compartment when the ve-
hicle begins to move after the en-
gine is started. These conditions
are normal and indicate that the
anti-lock brake system (Electronic
Stability Program) is functioning
properly.
o During ABS (ESP) operation, a
slight pulsation may be felt in the
brake pedal when the brakes are
applied. Also, a noise may be heard
in the engine compartment while
braking. These conditions are
normal and indicate that the anti-
lock brake system (Electronic Sta-
bility Program) is functioning prop-
erly.
!
WARNING:
ABS (ESP) will not prevent accidents
due to improper or dangerous driv-
ing maneuvers. Even though vehicle
control is improved during emer-
gency braking, always maintain a
safe distance between you and ob-
jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should
always be reduced during extreme
road conditions.
The braking distance for cars
equipped with an anti-lock braking
system (Electronic Stability Program)
may be longer than for those without
it in the following road conditions.
During these conditions, the ve-
hicle should be driven at reduced
speeds.
o Rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.
o With tire chains installed.
o On roads where the road surface
is pitted or has different surface
height.

The safety features of an ABS (ESP)
equipped vehicle should not be tested

This could endanger the safety of
yourself or others.
