Anti-Lock Brake System (Abs) - Hyundai Elantra 2018 Owner's Manual

Driving your vehicle
Check the Parking Brake
Warning Light by placing
the ignition switch to the
ON position (do not start
the engine).
This light will be illuminat-
ed when the parking brake is applied with
the ignition switch in the START or ON
position.
Before driving, be sure the parking brake
is released and the Brake Warning Light
is OFF.
If the Parking Brake Warning Light
remains on after the parking brake is
released while engine is running, there
may be a malfunction in the brake sys-
tem. Immediate attention is necessary.
If at all possible, cease driving the vehi-
cle immediately. If that is not possible,
use extreme caution while operating the
vehicle and only continue to drive the
vehicle until you can reach a safe loca-
tion.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

WARNING
An Anti-Lock Braking
(ABS) or an Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system will not pre-
vent accidents due to improper or
dangerous driving maneuvers.
Even though vehicle control is
improved during emergency brak-
ing, always maintain a safe dis-
tance between you and objects
ahead of you. Vehicle speeds
should always be reduced during
extreme road conditions. The brak-
ing distance for cars equipped with
ABS or ESC may be longer than for
those without these systems in the
following road conditions.
Drive your vehicle at reduced
speeds during the following condi-
tions:
•
Rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.
•
On roads where the road surface
is pitted or has different surface
height.
•
Tire chains are installed on your
vehicle.

The safety features of an ABS or
ESC equipped vehicle should not
be tested by high speed driving or
System
cornering. This could endanger the
safety of yourself or others.
ABS is an electronic braking system that
helps prevent a braking skid. ABS allows
the driver to steer and brake at the same
time.
