4. SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
When equipped with ABS, the braking force at each wheel will be controlled with 3-channel 4-
sensor method. And when equipped with ESP, 4 wheels will be controlled independently with 4-
channel method. (When controlling ABS system only, it will be operated with 3-channel method.)
When compared to the vehicle equipped with ABS/EBD only, the internal hydraulic circuit has a
normally-open separation valve and a shuttle valve in primary circuit and in secondary circuit.
When the vehicle brakes are not applied during engine running or when applying the non-ABS
operating brakes, the normally-open separation valve and the inlet valve are open, whereas the
normally-closed shuttle valve and the outlet valve are closed. When the ESP system is operating,
the normally-open separation valve will be closed by the solenoid valve operation and the hydraulic
circuit will be established by the shuttle valve. Then, the inlet and outlet valves will be
closed or open depending on the braking pressure increase, decrease or unchanged conditions.

1) Hydraulic Circuit Diagram
When the ESP operates during vehicle movement, the ESP warning lamp on the instrument
panel flickers and beep comes on every 0.1 seconds. The ESP operation shows that the vehicle
stability is extremely unstable and it is used to warn the driver. The ESP system is just a
supplementary system for the vehicle motion and it cannot control the vehicle when it exceeds
the physical limits. Do not solely rely on the system but be advised to drive the vehicle safely.
When the ESP system activates, the driving feeling can be different depending on vehicle
driving conditions. For example, you will feel differently when the ESP system is activated during
when ABS is operating with the brakes applied and when brakes are not applied on a curve.
Thus, the ESP system would make the driver feel more abruptly when the brakes are applied
during the ESP system activation.
The ESP system may transfer noise and vibration to the driver due to the pressure changes
caused by the motor and valve operations in a very short period of time. Extreme cornering will
trigger the ESP operation and this will make the driver feel noise and vibration due to sudden
brake application. Also, the ESP system controls the engine output. So, the driver may notice
the engine output decrease even when the accelerator pedal is being applied.

Oil Level Check ▶
Check the fluid level on a level ground with the
engine turned off. The fluid level should be
between the MIN and MAX marks on the
reservoir cap gauge.
Place the vehicle on a level ground and start
the engine and let it run at idle speed.
Turn the steering wheel several times so that
the oil temperature reaches to normal
operating level (75~85˚C).
Place the steering wheel at straight ahead
direction.
Check the oil level in the power steering oil
reservoir. Adjust the oil level between MAX
and MIN. A.

Oil Change ▶
If the difference between two measurements
is below 5 mm and the level is between MAX
and MIN level, it's normal. If it is over 5 mm,
bleed air from the system.
Open the power fluid reservoir cap and drain
the fluid completely with oil suction device.
To make it easy, turn the steering wheel to its
both ends several times.

1. OVERVIEW
A radial tire uses a cord angle of 90 degrees. That is, the cord material runs in a radial or direct
line from one bead to the other across the tread. In addition, a radial tire has a belt overwrap
under the tread surface to provide greater structural stability. The belt overwrap of a radial tire
distortion while the radial structure enables high speed driving.
Tire supports the weight of the vehicle, reduces the impact from the road and at the same time,
transmits the power to propel, brake and steer on the road. It also functions to maintain a

vessel of air.
There is wear limit mark on the tire, which protrudes as a strip shape located approximately 1.6
mm from the groove bottom. This wear limit mark is not seen from the outside so there is
additional "▲" mark on the shoulder to let the driver find the wear mark easily. To measure the tire
groove depth, measure at any point other than the point which has a wear limit mark.
The tire is worn unevenly according to the driver's driving habit, improper servicing, low tire
inflation pressure, changed tire location, etc.
1) Structure of Tire
Tread
This thick layer of rubber provides the
interface between the tire and the road.
Wear-resistant rubber is used to protect the
carcass and belt against fractures and
impacts and to deliver a long driving life.
Shoulder
Located between the tread and sidewall, the
shoulder rubber is the thickest so that the
design must allow for the easy diffusion of
heat generated within the tire while driving.
Sidewall
The part between the shoulder and bead, the
flexible sidewall protects the carcass and
enhances the ride. A tire’s type, size,
structure, pattern, manufacturing company,
product name and various characters are
indicated here. Bead
The bead attaches the tire to the rim and
wraps the end of the cord fabric. Comprised
of the bead wire, core, flipper and other parts,
the bead is generally designed to be slightly
tight around the rim so that in the case of a
sudden drop in inflation pressure, the tire will
not fall off the rim.
Carcass
As the most important framework of a tire, the
entire inner layer of cord fabric is called the
carcass. The carcass acts to support air
pressure, vertical load and absorb shocks.
