DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
13
!
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 ve-
hicle speed can cause the drive
wheels to lose traction and the ve-
hicle to go out of control.
o Turn the overdrive switch on for
good fuel economy and smooth driv-
ing. If engine braking is needed in
the "D" range or if repeated upshift-
ing and downshifting between 3rd
and 4th gear is needed when climb-
ing a gentle slope, it is recommended
that the overdrive switch be turned
off. Turn the overdrive switch back
on immediately afterward.
o Optimum vehicle performance and
economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the accel-
erator pedal.
o Always wear your seat belts.
In a collision, an unbelted person
is significantly more likely to die
than a person wearing a seat belt.
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 pulling
back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.
o If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you
may attempt to rock the vehicle
free by moving it forward and back-
ward. Do not attempt this proce-
dure if people or objects are any-
where near the vehicle. During the
rocking operation the vehicle may
suddenly move forward of back-
ward as it becomes unstuck, caus-
ing injury or damage to nearby
people or objects.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
(ABS)
C120A01FC-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 (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
normal and indicate that the anti-
lock brake system is functioning
properly.
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
