2009 Hyundai Entourage Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
BRAKE SYSTEM
Power brakes
Your vehicle  has  power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically  through normal
usage.
In  the   event   that  the   power-assisted
brakes lose  power because  of a  stalled
engine  or some  other  reason,  you can
still stop your vehicle by applying greater
force  to the  brake  pedal  than you  nor-
mally would.The stopping distance, how-
ever, will be longer.
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.
In the event of brake failure
(Continued)
If service brakes fail  to operate while the
vehicle  is in  motion,  you  can  make an
emergency stop  with the  parking brake.
The stopping  distance,  however, will  be
much greater than normal.
When descending a long or steep
hill,  shift   to  a   lower  gear   and
avoid  continuous  application  of
the   brakes.   Continuous    brake
application will  cause the brakes
to overheat  and could result  in a
temporary  loss   of  braking  per-
formance.
WARNING - Parking brake
Applying  the  parking  brake   while
the  vehicle   is  moving   at  normal
speeds can cause a sudden  loss of
control  of the  vehicle. If  you  must
use  the parking  brake  to  stop the
vehicle, use great  caution in apply-
ing the brake.
Wet brakes may result in the vehi-
cle not slowing down at the usual
rate and pulling 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  driv-
ing through deep water.To dry the
brakes,  apply  them lightly  while
maintaining a safe forward  speed
until  brake  performance  returns
to normal.
Pump the brake pedal only  when neces-
sary to maintain  steering control on slip-
pery surfaces.
WARNING - Brakes
Do not  drive with  your  foot rest-
ing  on the  brake pedal. This  will
create abnormal  high brake  tem-
peratures, excessive  brake lining
and   pad   wear,   and   increased
stopping distances.
