DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 11
C120A02A-AAT ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (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 eachbrake. Thus, in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS will increase vehicle control during braking. NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pul- sation may be felt in the brake pedalwhen the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the engine compartment while driving. Theseconditions are normal and indicate that the anti-lock brake system is functioning properly. WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents dueto improper or dangerous drivingmaneuvers. Even though vehicle control is improved during emer- gency braking, always maintain asafe distance between you and ob- jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be reduced during extremeroad conditions. The braking distance for cars equipped with an anti-lock brakingsystem may be longer than for those without it in the following road con- ditions. 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 surfaceheight.
The safety features of an ABSequipped vehicle should not betested by high speed driving or cornering. This could endanger the safety of yourself or others.
ating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in vehi- cle speed can cause the drive wheelsto 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.
o In a collision crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likelyto die than a person wearing aseatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in-
creased if you lose control ofyour vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off theroadway 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.

4- 4 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
trol chemicals are used, you should pay particular attention to the under- side of the car. Start by rinsing the carto remove dust and loose dirt. In win- ter, or if you have driven through mud or muddy water, be sure to thoroughlyclean the underside as well. Use a hard direct stream of water to remove accumulations of mud or corrosivematerials. High pressure car washes may cause water to enter your vehicle. Use a good quality car-washing solu-tion and follow the manufacturer's di- rections on the package. These are available at your Hyundai dealer orauto parts outlet. Don't use strong household detergents, gasoline, strong solvents or abrasive cleaning powdersas these may damage the finish. Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse it frequently and don't damage the finishby rubbing too hard. For stubborn spots, dampen them frequently and remove them a little at a time. To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush or soapy steel-wool scouring pad.To clean plastic wheel covers, use a clean sponge or soft cloth and water. To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels, use a mild soap or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Protectthe bare-metal surfaces by cleaning, polishing and waxing. Because alumi- num is subject to corrosion, be sure togive aluminum alloy wheels special attention in winter. If you drive on salted roads, clean the wheels thor-oughly afterwards. After washing, be sure to rinse thor- oughly. If soapy water dries on the finish, streaking will result. When the weather is warm and the humidity low, you may find it neces- sary to rinse each section immediatelyafter washing to avoid streaking. After rinsing, dry the car using a damp chamois or soft, absorbent cloth. The reason for drying the car is to removewater from the car so it will dry without water spots. Don't rub, this can dam- age the finish. If you find any nicks or scratches in the paint, use touch-up paint to coverthem to prevent corrosion. To protect the paintwork of the car against corro- sion, you must clean your Hyundai (atleast once a month). Give special at- tention to the removal of salt, mud and other substances on the underside ofthe splashboards of the car. Make sure that the outlets and the underside of the doors are open. Paint damagecan be caused by small accumulation of tar, industrial precipitation, tree resin, insects and bird droppings, when notremoved immediately. If water alone is not strong enough to remove the accu- mulated dirt, use a mild car washingsolution. Be sure to rinse the surface after washing to remove the solution. Never allow the solution to dry on thepainted surfaces.
