Proper Braking Practices

WARNING

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

Vehicles with a parking brake that is not fully applied may move unintentionally, which could result in damage to property and injury to yourself or others.

Wet brakes can be dangerous! Brakes may become wet when the vehicle drives through standing water or when it is washed. Your vehicle will not stop as quickly when the brakes are wet. Wet brakes may cause the vehicle to pull to one side.

To dry the brakes, lightly apply the brake pedal until braking performance returns to normal, while keeping the vehicle under control at all times. If braking performance does not return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do so and contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.

DO NOT drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. Even light but constant pressure on the pedal may cause the brakes to overheat, wear prematurely, and possibly even fail.

If a tire goes flat while driving, gently apply the brake and keep the vehicle pointed straight ahead while slowing down. When you are moving slowly enough to do so safely, leave the road and stop in a safe location.

Firmly depress the brake pedal when the vehicle is stopped to prevent the vehicle from rolling forward.
