Anti-Lock Brake System (Abs); Brake Traction Control System (Btcs) - Hyundai TUCSON Owner's Manual

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
C120A01JM-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/Traction
Control System/Electronic Stabil-
ity Program is functioning prop-
erly.
o During ABS/TCS/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 nor-
mal and indicate that the anti-lock
brake system/Traction Control Sys-
tem/Electronic Stability Program
is functioning properly.
!
WARNING:
ABS/TCS/ESP will not prevent acci-
dents due to improper or dangerous
driving maneuvers. Even though
vehicle control is improved during
emergency braking, always main-
tain a safe distance between you and
objects ahead. Vehicle speeds
should always be reduced during
extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for cars
equipped with an anti-lock braking
system/Traction Control System/Elec-
tronic Stability Program may be
longer than for those without it in the
following road conditions.
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
During these conditions the vehicle
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/TCS/
ESP equipped vehicle should not be
tested by high speed driving or cor-
nering. This could endanger the
safety of yourself or others.
