Driving your vehicle
✽ NOTICE
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.
• 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.
• 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 prob-
lem with the ABS. In this case,
however, 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.
CAUTION
• When you drive on a road with
poor traction, such as an icy
road, and have operated your
brakes continuously, the ABS will
be active continuously and the
ABS warning light may illuminate.
Pull your vehicle over to a safe
place and stop the engine.
• Restart the engine. If the ABS
warning light is off, then your
ABS system
W-78
Otherwise, you may have a prob-
lem with the ABS. We recommend
that you contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
✽ NOTICE
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the engine
may not run as smoothly and 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 has malfunctioned.
• Do not pump your brakes!
• Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.
