DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

o Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may
not be engaged.
o Always use the parking brake. Do
not depend on placing the transaxle
in "P" to keep the car from moving.
o Exercise extreme caution when driv-
ing on a slippery surface. Be espe-
cially careful when braking, acceler-
ating or shifting gears. On a slippery
surface, an abrupt change in vehicle
speed can cause the drive wheels to
lose traction and the vehicle to go out
of control.
!
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision crash, un unbelted
person is significantly more likely
to die than a person wearing a
seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in-
creased if you lose control of your
vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two
or more wheels drop off the road-
way and the driver oversteers to
reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pull-
ing back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed lim-
its.
o Excessive depressing of the
accelerater pedal under the tire
slip condition such as moving
out of the mud or fresh snow etc,
may cause severe damage to the
transaxle. At this time, take other
way such as towing.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
(ABS)
C120A03A-AAT
(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 operation, a slight
pulsation may be felt in the brake
pedal when the brakes are ap-
plied. Also, a noise may be heard
in the engine compartment while
braking. These conditions are
normal and indicate that the anti-
lock brake system is functioning
properly.
