DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

WARNING:

ABS or ESC will not prevent accidents

due to improper or dangerous driving

maneuvers. Even though vehicle control

is improved during emergency braking,

always maintain 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 (Elec-

tronic Stability Control System) may be

longer than for those without it in the

following road conditions.

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 or ESC

equipped vehicle should not be tested by

high speed driving or cornering. This

could endanger the safety of yourself or

others.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CON-

TROL (ESC) SYSTEM

C310A02NF-AAT

The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

system is designed to stabilize the vehicle

during cornering manuevers. ESC checks

where you are steering and where the

vehicle is actually going. ESC applies the

brakes at individual wheels and intervenes

in the engine management system to sta-

bilize the vehicle.

The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

system is an electronic system designed to

help the driver maintain vehicle control

under adverse conditions. It is not a

substitute for safe driving practices. Factors

including speed, road conditions and

driver steering input can all affect whether

ESC will be effective in preventing a loss

of control. It is still your responsibility to

drive and corner at reasonable speeds

and to leave a sufficient margin of safety.

ONF058011N

WARNING:

Never drive too fast for the road

conditions or too quickly when cornering.

Electronic stability control (ESC) will not

prevent accidents. Excessive speed in

turns, abrupt maneuvers and

hydroplaning on wet surfaces can still

result in serious accidents. Only a safe

and attentive driver can prevent

accidents by avoiding maneuvers that

cause the vehicle to lose traction. Even

with ESC installed, always follow all the

normal precautions for driving - including

driving at safe speeds for the conditions.
