STARTING & OPERATING
D150A01P-GAT
(3) If the vehicle is equipped with a brake warn-
ing lamp, the lamp will light up if the brake
fluid level is abnormally low.
(6) It is important to take advantage of the
braking power of the engine by shifting to a
lower gear while driving on steep downhill
roads in order to prevent the brakes from
overheating.
(7) Periodically confirm that the brake warning
lamp functions properly.
(8) With new brake linings, if possible, avoid
applying the brakes fully during the first 200
km (124 miles) of driving.
BRAKE SYSTEM
(4)
If the vehicle is equipped with a brake boost-
er, the brake boosting force is lost after the
brake pedal is depressed once or twice
while the engine is off. If this occurs, the
brake will require greater force than usual.
This is especially important when the ve-
hicle is being towed.

PARKING
GS30160A
All the parts of the brake system are critical to
safety. Have the vehicle serviced by an autho-
rized HYUNDAI dealer at regular intervals ac-
cording to the service standards.
(1)
The service brake is divided into two brake
circuits so that when one brake circuit fails,
the other is available to stop the vehicle. If
this occurs, however, the brake pedal must
be depressed further than usual; stop driv-
ing as soon as possible and have the brake
system serviced at the nearest authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
GT30170A
(5)
Check the brake system while driving at a
low speed immediately after starting, espe-
cially when the brakes are wet, to confirm
that it works normally.
Chock
GS30180A
(1) When parking on a hill, fully engage the
parking brake and set the gear shift lever to
1st or reverse position. It is recommended
to use chocks for greater safety.
(2) Do not keep the engine running for a long
time in a closed or poorly ventilated place.
Carbon monoxide gas is odourless and ex-
tremely poisonous and dangerous.
A film of water can form on the brake discs
or brake drums and prevent normal func-
tioning after driving in heavy rain or through
large puddles, or after the vehicle is washed.
If this occurs, repeatedly tap the brake pedal
lightly while driving to dry out the brakes.
(2)
Do not place a thick floor mat around the
brake pedal; doing so could prevent the full
pedal stroke that would be necessary in an
emergency. Make sure that the pedal can
be operated freely at all times.
