Proper Braking Practice

WARNING

Whenever you leave the vehicle or park, always come to a complete stop and continue to depress the brake pedal. Move the shift lever to the P (Park) position, then apply the parking brake and turn the ignition switch to the LOCK/OFF position.

Vehicles parked on an incline with the parking brake not applied or not fully engaged may roll unintentionally and may cause injury to the driver and others. ALWAYS apply the parking brake fully before leaving the vehicle.

Wet brakes can be dangerous! Brakes may get wet when the vehicle is driven through standing water or when 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 brake pedal lightly until braking performance returns to normal, making sure the vehicle is always under control. If braking performance does not return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do so and we recommend that you contact an authorized HYUNDAI service center for assistance.

Do NOT drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. Even light but constant pressure on the pedal may cause brake overheating, brake wear, and possibly even brake failure.

If a tire goes flat while driving, gently depress the brake and keep the vehicle straight ahead while you slow down. When you are moving slowly enough to do so safely, drive off the road and stop in a safe place.

Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when the vehicle is stopped to prevent the vehicle from rolling forward.
