GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES

Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Resting your
foot on the brake pedal while driving can be

overheating and losing their effectiveness. It
also increases the wear of the brake com-
ponents.
If a tire goes flat while you are driving, apply
the brakes gently and keep the car pointed
straight ahead while you slow down. When

to do so, pull off the road and stop in a safe
place.
If your car is equipped with an automatic
transaxle, don't let your car creep forward.
To avoid creeping forward, keep your foot on
the brake pedal when the car is stopped.
Use caution when parking on a hill. Engage
the parking brake and place the gear selec-
torleverin"P"(automatictransaxle)orinfirst
or reverse gear (manual transaxle). If your
car is facing downhill, turn the front wheels
into the curb to help keep the car from rolling.
If your car is facing uphill, turn the front
wheels away from the curb to help keep the
car from rolling. If there is no curb or if it is
required by other conditions to keep the car
from rolling, block the wheels.
Under some conditions your parking brake
can freeze in the engaged position. This is
most likely to happen when there is an ac-
cumulation of snow or ice around or near the
rear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If there
is a risk that the parking brake may freeze,
apply it only temporarily while you put the
gear selector lever in "P" (automatic) or in

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
damage to the vehicle or injure the occu-
pants.
Should there be any unusual conditions in the
device, TCS illuminates as a warning.
If TCS illuminates, pull your car to a safe place
and stop the engine.
Then, start the engine again to check if the TCS
indicator goes out.

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.
If the indicator remains lit even after the engine
has been started, have your car checked by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
Driving through water may get the brakes
wet. They can also get wet when the car is
washed. Wet brakes can be dangerous!
Your car will not stop as quickly if the brakes
are wet. Wet brakes may cause the car to
pull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the
brakes lightly until the braking action returns
to normal, taking care to keep the car 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.
NOTE:
1)
When TCS illuminates, traction control
is automatically deactivated for safety.
This warning function is not provided
when the driver selects the TCS-OFF
mode.

Automotive readers have rated 2003 Hyundai Sonata Owners Manual 3.6 out of 4.0 based on 7 product reviews. Just bought the 2003 Sonata on Craig's List and easily found a manual to assist with the "trial & error" method. Thanks.
