2010 Hyundai Elantra 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/or  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
driving  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.
