Anti-lock braking system (Hyundai Santa Fe CM)

The anti-lock braking system (ABS) prevents the wheels from locking during sudden braking or when driving on an uneven road surface. The electronic control unit of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) monitors the rotation speed of the vehicle's wheels and regulates the pressure of the brake fluid in the working brake cylinders. Thus, in emergency situations or on slippery roads, this system improves the vehicle's controllability during braking.

Note: Immediately after starting the engine and the vehicle begins to move, a short knocking sound may be heard in the engine compartment. This is normal and indicates that the ABS (ESP) systems are working properly.

When the anti-lock braking system is operating (ABS) (ESP) when braking, a slight pulsation may be felt on the brake pedal.
