BRAKING SYSTEM

Power brakes

Your vehicle has power-assisted

through normal usage.

ꢀ :HWꢀEUDNHVꢀPD\ꢀLPSDLUꢀWKHꢀYHKL-

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.

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 dis-

tance, however, will be longer than

with power brakes.

When the engine is not running, the

reserve brake power is partially

depleted each time the brake pedal is

applied. Do not pump the brake pedal

when the power assist has been

interrupted.

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.

necessary to maintain steering con-

trol on slippery surfaces.

WARNING

Take the following precautions:

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.

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 performance.

NOTICE

To avoid costly brake repairs, do

not continue to drive with worn

brake pads.

Information

i

Always replace brake pads as complete

front or rear axle sets.

Whilst driving

Rear drum brakes

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.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS

Electronic Stability Control

(ESC)

WARNING

Never drive too fast for the road

conditions or too quickly when

cornering. The ESC system will

not prevent accidents.

Excessive speed in turns, abrupt

manoeuvres, and hydroplaning on

wet surfaces can result in severe

accidents.

The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

system helps to stabilize the vehicle

during cornering manoeuvres.

ESC checks where you are steering

and where the vehicle is actually

going.

ESC applies braking pressure to any

one of the vehicle’s brakes and inter-

venes in the engine management

system to assist the driver with keep-

ing the vehicle on the intended path.

It is not a substitute for safe driving

a HYUNDAI authorised repairer as

soon as possible.

WARNING

When the ESC is blinking, this

indicates the ESC is active:

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 acci-

dent.

Wet brakes can be dangerous! The

brakes may get wet if the vehicle is

driven 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

repairer for assistance.

DO NOT drive with your foot resting

on the brake pedal. Even light, but

constant pedal pressure can result in

the brakes overheating, brake wear,

and possibly even brake failure.

If a tyre goes flat whilst you are driv-

ing, 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 location.

Keep your foot firmly on the brake

pedal when the vehicle is stopped to

prevent the vehicle from rolling for-

ward.
