ABS is an electronic braking system
that helps prevent a braking skid.
ABS allows the driver to steer and
brake at the same time.
Using ABS
To obtain the maximum benefit from
your ABS in an emergency situation,
do not attempt to modulate your
brake pressure and do not try to
pump your brakes. Depress your
brake pedal as hard as possible.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear sounds from
the brakes, or feel a corresponding
sensation in the brake pedal. This is
normal and it means your ABS is
active.
ABS does not reduce the time or dis-
tance it takes to stop the vehicle.
Always maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle in front of you.
ABS will not prevent a skid that
results from sudden changes in
direction, such as trying to take a
corner too fast or making a sudden
lane change. Always drive at a safe
speed for the road and weather con-
ditions.ABS cannot prevent a loss of stabili-
ty. Always steer moderately when
braking hard. Severe or sharp steer-
ing wheel movement can still cause
your vehicle to veer into oncoming
traffic or off the road.
On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock brake sys-
tem may result in a longer stopping
distance than for vehicles equipped
with a conventional brake system.
The ABS warning light ( ) will stay
on for several seconds after the igni-
tion switch is in the ON position.
During that time, the ABS will go
through self-diagnosis and the light
will go off if everything is normal. If
the light stays on, you may have a
problem with your ABS. Contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible(Continued)
Drive your vehicle at reduced
speeds during the following
conditions:
Rough, gravel or snow-cov-
ered roads.
On roads where the road sur-
face is pitted or has different
surface height.
Tire chains are installed on
your vehicle.
The safety features of an ABS
or ESC equipped vehicle should
not be tested by high speed
driving or cornering. This could
endanger the safety of yourself
or others.

Good Braking Practices Wet brakes can be dangerous! The
brakes may get wet if the vehicle is
driven through standing water or if it
is washed. Your vehicle will not stop
as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet
brakes may cause the vehicle to pull
to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns
to normal, taking care to keep the
vehicle under control at all times. If
the braking action does not return to
normal, stop as soon as it is safe to
do so and call an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.
DO NOT drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. Even light, but
constant pedal pressure can result in
the brakes overheating, brake wear,
and possibly even brake failure.
If a tire goes flat while you are driv-
ing, apply the brakes gently and
keep the vehicle pointed straight
ahead while you slow down. When
you are moving slowly enough for it
to be safe to do so, pull off the road
and stop in a safe location.Keep your foot firmly on the brake
pedal when the vehicle is stopped to
prevent the vehicle from rolling for-
ward.
Whenever leaving the vehicle or
parking, always come to a com-
plete stop and continue to
depress the brake pedal. Move
the shift lever into the P (Park)
position, then apply the parking
brake, and place the ignition
switch in the OFF position.
Vehicles with the parking brake
not fully engaged are at risk for
moving inadvertently and caus-
ing injury to yourself or others.

NOTICE
When using the Smart Cruise
Control take the following pre-
cautions:
If an emergency stop is nec-
essary, you must apply the
brakes. The vehicle cannot be
stopped by using the Smart
Cruise Control System.
Keep a safe distance accord-
ing to road conditions and
vehicle speed. If the vehicle to
vehicle distance is too close
during a high-speed driving, a
serious collision may result.
Always maintain sufficient
braking distance and deceler-
ate your vehicle by applying
the brakes if necessary.
The Smart Cruise Control
System cannot recognize a
stopped vehicle, pedestrians
or an oncoming vehicle.
Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occur-
ring.

WARNING (Continued)
Vehicles moving in front of you
with a frequent lane change
may cause a delay in the sys-
tem's reaction or may cause
the system to react to a vehicle
actually in an adjacent lane.
Always drive cautiously to pre-
vent unexpected and sudden
situations from occurring.
Always be aware of the select-
ed speed and vehicle to vehi-
cle distance.
The Smart Cruise Control
System may not recognize
complex driving situations so
always pay attention to driv-
ing conditions and control
your vehicle speed.

The system may not work prop-erly if the bumper has been
replaced or if repair work has
been done near the radar.
The detection area differs according to the roads width. If
the road is narrow the system
may detect other vehicles in the
next lane. In addition, if the road
is very wide the system may not
detect other vehicles.
The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic waves.
Non-operating condition
Outside rearview mirror may not
alert the driver when:
- The outside rearview mirror hous-ing is damaged or covered with
debris.
- The window is covered with debris.
- The windows are severely tinted.

etc
- The rear bumper near the radar is covered or hidden with a for-
eign matter such as a sticker,
bumper guard, bicycle stand etc.
- The rear bumper is damaged or the radar is out of place.
- The height of the vehicle is altered such as when the trunk is
loaded with heavy objects, or
there is low tire pressure etc.
- Bad weather such as heavy rain or snow.
