emergingfromthewateranddrythe
brakes by lightly depressing the
brake pedal several times whilst
driving slowly.
o Apply the parking brake only when
the vehicle is at rest.
o Since the power assistance pro-
vided by the brake servo is derived
from the engine, coasting with the
engine turned off or towing of the
vehicle with the engine turned off
will result in greatly increased pedal
pressuresbeingrequiredtostopthe
vehicle.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the up-
grade with the accelerator pedal.
This can cause the transaxle to
overheat. Always use the brake
pedal or parking brake.

achieving the best results from the
braking system.
!
CAUTION:
o Shift into "R" and "P" position
only when the vehicle has com-
pletely stopped.
o Do not accelerate the engine in
reverse or any of the forward
positionswiththebrakesapplied.
o Alwaysapplythefootbrakewhen
shifting from "P" or "N", to "R",
"D"position.
o Do not use the "P" (Park) posi-
tioninplaceof theparkingbrake.
Always set the parking brake,
shift the transaxle into "P" (Park)
position and turn off the ignition
when you leave the vehicle, even
momentarily. Never leave the ve-
hicle unattended while the en-
gine is running.
o Anticipate the road and conditions
ahead in order that heavy braking
may be avoided.
o When descending long gradients,
use the engine to assist in retarding
the vehicle to minimize the possibil-
ity of brake fade occur-ring.
o When trailer towing, ensure that the
trailer brakes function correctly and
use engine braking to assist the
vehicle braking system.
o Use only genuine Hyundai replace-
ment brake pads and shoes to en-
sure consistent friction characteris-
tics and wear rates.
o Check the automatic transaxle
fluidlevelregularly,andaddfluid
as necessary.
o After driving through deep water
(e.g. fording), the brakes may be-
comewetandperformancereduced.
