Driving your vehicle
Disc brakes wear indicator
When your brake pads are worn and
new pads are required, you will hear
a high pitched warning sound from
your front or rear brakes. You may
hear this sound come and go or it
may occur whenever you depress
the brake pedal.
Note that some driving conditions or
climates may cause a brake squeal
when you first apply (or lightly apply)
the brakes. This is normal and does
not indicate a problem with your
brakes.
To avoid costly brake repairs, do
not continue to drive with worn
brake pads.
Information
Always replace brake pads as com-
plete front or rear axle sets.
High performance brake
For vehicles equipped with the High
Performance Brake (applied with
material having high coefficient of
friction), noise such as a squeal,
squeak or groan is generated while
braking. This is normal and the fric-
tion may create circle patterns on the
disc surface. This is also a normal sit-
uation which does not affect braking
performance.
• Occasional brake noise is nor-
mal. If a continuous grinding or
continuous squeal sound is
present, the brake lining may be
worn-out. We recommend that
the vehicle be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• If the vehicle has continuous
vibration or shudder in the
steering wheel while braking, we
recommend that the vehicle be
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE

NOTICE
Frequent speeding and braking
may deform components and
worn the disc brake causing
vibration when braking. Prevent
brake damage by avoiding
excessive braking.
Brake wear, noise, vibration
from excessive braking or
deformation of the brakes
caused by repeatedly braking in
high speed, racing on tracks,
etc. can be excluded from war-
ranty coverage.
