Driving your vehicle
High Performance Brake
As this vehicle is equipped with the
High Performance Brake (large-
diameter brakes for enhanced brak-
ing performance), noise such as a
squeal, squeak or groan is generat-
ed while braking. This is normal and
the friction may create circle patterns
on the disc surface. This is also a
normal situation 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.
Have the vehicle
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• If the vehicle has continuous
vibration or shudder in the
steering wheel while braking,
have the vehicle be checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
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.

NOTICE
NOTICE
Frequent speeding and braking
may deform components and
wear 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.
