Good Braking Practices
WARNING:
Nothing should be carried on top of
the cargo area cover behind the
rear seat. If there were an accident
or a sudden stop, such objects
could move forward and cause dam-
age to the vehicle or injure the oc-
cupants.
o After being parked, check to be sure
the parking brake is not engaged
and that the parking brake indicator
light is out before driving away.
o Driving through water may get the
brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the vehicle is washed. Your
vehicle may not stop as quickly if the
brakes are wet and it may also pull
to one side. To dry the brakes, apply
the brakes lightly until the braking
action returns to normal, taking care
to keep the vehicle under control at
all times. If the braking action does
not return to normal, stop as soon
as it is safe to do so and call your
Hyundai dealer for assistance.
o Don’t coast down hills with the ve-
hicle out of gear. This may be ex-
tremely hazardous.
Keep the vehicle in gear at all times,
use the brakes to slow down, then
shift to a lower gear so that engine
braking will help you maintain a safe
speed.
o Don’t "ride" the brake pedal. Rest-
ing your foot on the brake pedal
while driving can be dangerous be-
cause it can result in the brakes
overheating and losing their effec-
tiveness. It also increases the wear
of the brake components.
o If a tire goes flat while you are
driving, apply the brakes gently and
keep the vehicle pointed straight
ahead while you slow down. When
you are moving slowly enough for it
to be safe to do so, pull off the road
and stop in a safe place.
o If your vehicle is equipped with an
automatic transmission, don’t let
your vehicle creep forward.
To avoid creeping forward, keep
your foot on the brake pedal when
the vehicle is stopped.
