Whilst driving

BRAKING SYSTEM

Power brakes

Your vehicle has power-assisted

brakes that adjust automatically through

normal usage.

If the engine is not running or is turned

off whilst driving, the power assist for

the brakes will not work. You can still

stop your vehicle by applying greater

force to the brake pedal than typical.

The stopping distance, however, will be

longer than with power brakes.

When the engine is not running, the

reserve brake power is partially deplet-

ed each time the brake pedal is applied.

Do not pump the brake pedal when the

power assist has been interrupted.

WARNING

Take the following precautions:

• Do not drive with your foot resting

on the brake pedal. This will create

abnormal high brake tempera-

tures, excessive brake lining and

pad wear, and increased stopping

distances.

• When descending down a long or

steep hill, downshift to a lower

gear in order to control your speed

without using the brake pedal

excessively. Applying the brakes

continuously will cause the brakes

to overheat and could result in a

temporary loss of braking perfor-

mance.

Pump the brake pedal only when nec-

essary to maintain steering control on

slippery surfaces.

• Wet brakes may impair the vehi-

cle’s ability to safely slow down;

the vehicle may also pull to one

side when the brakes are applied.

Applying the brakes lightly will

indicate whether they have been

affected in this way. Always test

your brakes in this fashion after

driving through deep water. To dry

the brakes, lightly tap the brake

pedal to heat up the brakes whilst

maintaining a safe forward speed

until brake performance returns to

normal. Avoid driving at high

speeds until the brakes function

correctly.

Information

i

• When the brake pedal is depressed

under certain driving conditions or

weather conditions, you may tempo-

rarily hear a noise. This is normal

and does not indicate a problem with

your brakes.

• Whilst driving on a road with deic-

ing chemicals, brake noise or abnor-

mal tyre wear may occur due to deic-

ing chemicals. In a safe traffic

condition, additionally apply the

brakes to remove deicing chemicals

on the brake discs and pads.

Disc brakes wear indicator

Parking brake

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.

NOTICE

To avoid costly brake repairs, do not

continue to drive with worn brake

pads.

OAC3069002TU

Always set the parking brake before

leaving the vehicle, to apply:

Firmly depress the brake pedal.

Information

i

Always replace brake pads as complete

front or rear axle sets.

Pull up the parking brake lever as far as

possible.

Rear drum brakes

WARNING

Your rear drum brakes do not have

wear indicators. Therefore, have the

rear brake linings inspected if you hear

a rear brake rubbing noise. Also have

your rear brakes inspected each time

you change or rotate your tyres and

when you have the front brakes

replaced.

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJU-

RY or DEATH, do not operate the

parking brake whilst the vehicle is

moving except in an emergency situ-

ation. It could damage the brake sys-

tem and lead to an accident.

6-31

Whilst driving

Parking brake warning light

Check the Parking Brake

Warning Light by placing the

ignition switch to the ON

position (do not start the

engine).

This light will be illuminated when the

parking brake is applied with the igni-

tion switch in the START or ON posi-

tion.

Before driving, be sure the parking

brake is released and the Brake Warn-

ing Light is OFF.

OAC3069003TU

To release:

Firmly depress the brake pedal.

Slightly pull up the parking brake lever.

Whilst pressing the release button (1),

lower the parking brake (2).

If the Parking Brake Warning Light

remains on after the parking brake is

released whilst the engine is running,

there may be a malfunction in the brake

system. Immediate attention is neces-

sary.

If at all possible, cease driving the vehi-

cle immediately. If that is not possible,

use extreme caution whilst operating

the vehicle and only continue to drive

the vehicle until you can reach a safe

location.

If the parking brake does not release or

does not release all the way, we recom-

mend that the system be checked by a

HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

WARNING

Whenever leaving the vehicle or

parking, always come to a complete

stop and continue to depress the

brake pedal.

Move the shift lever into the 1st gear

(for Manual transmission vehicle) or

N (Neutral, for Automated Manual

Transmission vehicle) position, then

apply the parking brake, and place

the ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF

position.

Using ABS

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

WARNING

To obtain the maximum benefit from

your ABS in an emergency situation, do

not attempt to modulate your brake

pressure and do not try to pump your

brakes. Depress your brake pedal as

hard as possible.

When you apply your brakes under

conditions which may lock the wheels,

you may hear sounds from the brakes,

or feel a corresponding sensation in the

brake pedal. This is normal and it

means your ABS is active.

ABS does not reduce the time or dis-

tance it takes to stop the vehicle.

Always maintain a safe distance from

the vehicle in front of you.

ABS will not prevent a skid that results

from sudden changes in direction, such

as trying to take a corner too fast or

making a sudden lane change. Always

drive at a safe speed for the road and

weather conditions.

An Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)

or an Electronic Stability Control

(ESC) system will not prevent acci-

dents due to improper or dangerous

driving manoeuvres. Even though

vehicle control is improved during

emergency braking, always maintain

a safe distance between you and

objects ahead of you. Vehicle speeds

should always be reduced during

extreme road conditions. The brak-

ing distance for vehicles equipped

with ABS or ESC may be longer than

for those without these systems in

the following road conditions.

Drive your vehicle at reduced speeds

during the following conditions:

• Rough, gravel or snow-covered

roads.

• On roads where the road surface is

pitted or has different surface

height.

ABS cannot prevent a loss of stability.

Always steer moderately when braking

hard. Severe or sharp steering wheel

movement can still cause your vehicle

to veer into oncoming traffic or off the

road.

On loose or uneven road surfaces,

operation of the anti-lock brake system

may result in a longer stopping distance

than for vehicles equipped with a con-

ventional brake system.

• Tyre chains are installed on your

vehicle.

The safety features of an ABS or

ESC equipped vehicle should not be

tested by high speed driving or cor-

nering. This could endanger the

safety of yourself or others.

The ABS warning light (

) will stay

ABS is an electronic braking system

that helps prevent a braking skid. ABS

allows the driver to steer and brake at

the same time.

on for several seconds after the ignition

switch is in the ON position. During that

time, the ABS will go through self-diag-

nosis and the light will go off if every-

thing is normal. If the light stays on, you

may have a problem with your ABS. We

recommend that you contact a HYUN-

DAI authorised repairer as soon as

possible.

Electronic Stability Control

(ESC)

WARNING

If the ABS warning light (

) is on

and stays on, you may have a prob-

lem with the ABS. Your power brakes

will work normally. To reduce the

risk of serious injury or death, we

recommend that you contact

a

HYUNDAI authorised repairer as

soon as possible.

NOTICE

OAC3063004R

When you drive on a road having

poor traction, such as an icy road,

and apply your brakes continuously,

the ABS will be active continuously

and the ABS warning light

(

) may illuminate. Pull your vehi-

cle over to a safe place and turn the

engine off.

ESC applies braking pressure to any

one of the vehicle’s brakes and inter-

venes in the engine management sys-

tem to assist the driver with keeping the

vehicle on the intended path. It is not a

substitute for safe driving practices.

Always adjust your speed and driving to

the road conditions.

Restart the engine. If the ABS warn-

ing light is off, then your ABS sys-

tem is normal.

Otherwise, you may have a problem

with your ABS system. We recom-

mend that you contact a HYUNDAI

authorised repairer as soon as pos-

sible.

Information

i

When you jump start your vehicle

because of a drained battery, the ABS

warning light (

) may turn on at the

same time. This happens because of the

low battery voltage. It does not mean

your ABS is malfunctioning. Have the

battery recharged before driving the

vehicle.

ESC operation

ESC ON condition

When the ignition switch is in the ON

position, the ESC and the ESC OFF

indicator lights illuminate for about

three seconds. After both lights go off,

the ESC is enabled.

WARNING

Never drive too fast for the road con-

ditions or too quickly when corner-

ing. The ESC system will not prevent

accidents.

Excessive speed in turns, abrupt

manoeuvres, and hydroplaning on

wet surfaces can result in severe

accidents.

When operating

When the ESC is in opera-

tion, the ESC indicator light

blinks:

• When you apply your brakes under

conditions which may lock the

wheels, you may hear sounds from

the brakes, or feel a corresponding

sensation in the brake pedal. This is

normal and it means your ESC is

active.

• When the ESC activates, the engine

may not respond to the accelerator

as it does under routine conditions.

• If the Cruise Control was in use when

the ESC activates, the Cruise Control

automatically

disengages.

The

Cruise Control can be reengaged

when the road conditions allow. For

more information, refer to the

“Cruise Control System” in chap-

ter 7. (if equipped).

• When moving out of the mud or driv-

ing on a slippery road, the engine rpm

(revolutions per minute) may not

increase even if you press the accel-

erator pedal deeply. This is to main-

tain the stability and traction of the

vehicle and does not indicate a prob-

lem.

When the ignition switch is in the ON

position, the ESC indicator light illumi-

nates, then goes off if the ESC system

is operating normally.

The ESC indicator light blinks whenev-

er the ESC is operating.

If the ESC indicator light stays on, your

vehicle may have a malfunction with

the ESC system. When this warning

light illuminates we recommend that the

vehicle be checked by a HYUNDAI

authorised repairer as soon as possi-

ble.

The ESC OFF indicator light comes on

when the ESC is turned off with the but-

ton.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the transmis-

sion:

• Do not allow wheel(s) of one axle

to spin excessively whilst the ESC,

ABS, and parking brake warning

lights are displayed. The repairs

would not be covered by the vehi-

cle warranty. Reduce engine pow-

er and do not spin the wheel(s)

excessively whilst these lights are

displayed.

WARNING

When the ESC is blinking, this indi-

cates the ESC is active:

• When operating the vehicle on a

dynamometer, make sure the ESC

is turned off (ESC OFF light illumi-

nated).

Drive slowly and NEVER attempt to

accelerate. NEVER turn the ESC off

whilst the ESC indicator light is

blinking or you may lose control of

the vehicle resulting in an accident.

VSM operation

When operating

When you apply your brakes under

conditions which may activate the ESC,

you may hear sounds from the brakes,

or feel a corresponding sensation in the

brake pedal. This is normal and it

means your VSM is active.

Information

i

Turning the ESC off does not affect

ABS or standard brake system opera-

tion.

Vehicle Stability Management

(VSM)

The Vehicle Stability Management

(VSM) is a function of the Electronic

Stability Control (ESC) system. It helps

ensure the vehicle stays stable when

accelerating or braking suddenly on

wet, slippery and rough roads where

traction over the four tyres can sudden-

ly become uneven.

Information

i

The VSM does not operate when:

• Driving on a banked road such as

gradient or incline

• Driving in reverse.

• The ESC OFF indicator light is on.

• The MDPS (Motor Driven Power

WARNING

Steering) warning light (

or blinks.

) is on

Take the following precautions when

using the Vehicle Stability Manage-

ment (VSM):

WARNING

• ALWAYS check the speed and the

distance to the vehicle ahead. The

VSM is not a substitute for safe

driving practices.

If the ESC indicator light ( ) or

MDPS warning light ( ) stays on

or blinks, your vehicle may have a

malfunction with the VSM system.

When the warning light illuminates,

we recommend that the vehicle be

checked by a HYUNDAI authorised

repairer as soon as possible.

• Never drive too fast for the road

conditions. The VSM system will

not prevent accidents. Excessive

speed in bad weather, slippery and

uneven roads can result in severe

accidents.

Emergency Stop Signal (ESS)

NOTICE

The Emergency Stop Signal system

alerts the driver behind by blinking the

stop light when the vehicle is braked

rapidly and severely.

Driving with wheels and tyres with

different sizes may cause the ESC

system to malfunction. Before

replacing tyres, make sure all four

tyres and wheels are the same size.

Never drive the vehicle with different

sized tyres and wheels installed.

The system is activated when:

• The vehicle suddenly stops (vehicle

speed is over 34 mph (55 km/h) and

the vehicle deceleration at greater

than 7 m/s²)

Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)

• The ABS is activating

Hill-Start Assist Control helps prevent

the vehicle from rolling backwards

when starting a vehicle from a stop on a

hill. The system operates the brakes

automatically for about 2 seconds

(maximum of 5 seconds when the

accelerator pedal is slightly depressed

during HAC operation) and releases

the brake after 2 seconds or when the

accelerator pedal is depressed.

When the vehicle speed is under 25

mph (40 km/h) and the ABS deacti-

vates or the sudden stop situation is

over, the stop light blinking will stop.

Instead, the hazard warning flasher will

turn on automatically.

The hazard warning flasher will turn off

when vehicle speed is over 6 mph (10

km/h) after the vehicle has stopped.

Also, it will turn off when the vehicle is

driven at low speed for some time. You

can turn it off manually by pushing the

hazard warning flasher switch.

Whilst driving

Brake Assist System (BAS)

Good braking practices

WARNING

The Brake Assistant System provides

additional pressure when the brake

pedal is momentarily and strongly

depressed in a situation sudden brak-

ing is required while driving. The Brake

Assistant System reduces the time for

ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) control

to enter and consequently reduces the

braking distance by providing additional

pressure up to the point of ABS inter-

vention.

Whenever leaving the vehicle or

parking, always come to a complete

stop and continue to depress the

brake pedal. Move the shift lever into

the 1st gear (for manual transmis-

sion vehicle) or N (Neutral) position

(for Automated Manual Transmis-

sion vehicle), then apply the parking

brake, and place the ignition switch

in the LOCK/OFF position.

BAS operation

Vehicles parked with the parking

brake not applied or not fully

engaged may roll inadvertently and

may cause injury to the driver and

others. ALWAYS apply the parking

brake before exiting the vehicle.

• When the vehicle speed is more than

30 km/h (20 mph) and the ABS con-

trol is not entered.

• When the brake pedal is depressed

strongly over a certain level.

• When the friction of the road surface

is above a certain level.

BAS operation off

• The vehicle speed is below 10 km/h

(6 mph).

• The brake pedal is depressed over a

certain conditions.

• The friction of the road surface is

below a certain level.

WARNING

The system may not operate depend-

ing on driver’s driving habit, driving

speed, the degree to which the brake

pedal is depressed and the road sur-

face condition.

6-40

06

Wet brakes can be dangerous! The

brakes may get wet if the vehicle is driv-

en through standing water or if 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 brakes

lightly until the braking action returns to

normal. If the braking action does not

return to normal, stop as soon as it is

safe to do so and we recommend that

you call a HYUNDAI authorised repair-

er for assistance.

DO NOT drive with your foot resting on

the brake pedal. Even light, but con-

stant pedal pressure can result in the

brakes overheating, brake wear, and

possibly even brake failure.

If a tyre goes flat whilst you are driving,

apply the brakes gently and keep the

vehicle pointed straight ahead whilst

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 loca-

tion.

Keep your foot firmly on the brake ped-

al when the vehicle is stopped to pre-

vent the vehicle from rolling forward.
