Driving your vehicle
Disc brakes wear indicator
Your vehicle has disc brakes.
When your brake pads are worn and new
pads are required, you will hear a high-
pitched warning sound from your front
brakes or rear brakes. You may hear this
sound come and go or it may occur
whenever you depress the brake pedal.
Please remember that some driving con-
ditions or climates may cause a brake
squeal when you first apply (or lightly
apply) the brakes. This is normal and
does not indicate a problem with your
brakes.

To avoid costly brake repairs, do
not continue to drive with worn
brake pads.
The parking brake will be released auto-
matically when you shift the shift lever
from P (Park) to R (Reverse), N (Neutral)
or D (Drive) while depressing the brake
pedal.
Always replace brake pads as
complete front or rear axle sets.
CAUTION
Driving with the parking brake
applied will cause excessive brake
pad (or lining) and brake rotor wear.
WARNING - Brake wear
Make sure that the brake warning light
goes out.
This brake wear warning sound
means your vehicle needs service.
If you ignore this audible warning,
you will eventually lose braking
performance, which could lead to a
serious accident.
If the parking brake does not release,
have the system checked by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
