Electronic Stability Control (Esc) - Hyundai SX2 Owner's Manual

The ABS ( ) warning light stays on for
several seconds after the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the ON position.
During that time, ABS goes through
self-diagnosis and the light goes off if
everything is normal. If the light stays on,
we recommend that you contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer 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 work normally. To
reduce the risk of serious injury or death it
is recommended to contact your
authorised HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.
NOTICE
When you drive on a road having poor
traction, such as an icy road, and apply
your brakes continuously, ABS is active
continuously and the ABS ( ) warning
light may illuminate. Pull your vehicle
over to a safe place and turn off the
vehicle.
Restart the vehicle. If the ABS warning
light is off, then your ABS system is
normal.
If not, we recommend that you contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer as soon as
possible.
Information
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the ABS ( )
warning light may turn on at the same
time. It does not mean your ABS is
malfunctioning. Have the battery
recharged before driving the vehicle.
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC)
2C_ESCOffButtion
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system helps stabilize the vehicle during
cornering manoeuvres.
ESC checks where you are steering and
where the vehicle is actually going. ESC
applies braking pressure to any one of the
vehicle's brakes and intervenes in the
engine management system to assist the
driver with keeping the vehicle on the
intended path. It is not a substitute for
safe driving practices. Always adjust your
speed and driving to the road conditions.
