2011 Hyundai Equus Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
Don't coast down  hills with the vehicle
out  of   gear.  This  is  extremely   haz-
ardous.  Keep  the  car  in  gear   at  all
times,  use  the brakes  to  slow  down,
then  shift   to  a   lower  gear   so  that
engine braking will help you maintain a
safe speed.
•  If  your   vehicle  is  equipped  with   an
automatic  transmission, don't  let your
car  creep  forward. To  avoid  creeping
forward,  keep your  foot  firmly  on the
brake pedal when the car is stopped.
•  Be  caution   when  parking  on   a  hill.
Firmly  engage the  parking brake  and
place the shift lever in P. If your vehicle
is facing downhill, turn the front wheels
into the  curb to  help keep  the vehicle
from  rolling.  If  your  vehicle  is  facing
uphill, turn the  front wheels away from
the curb to  help keep the vehicle  from
rolling.  If  there  is  no  curb  or  if  it  is
required  by  other  conditions  to keep
the   vehicle  from   rolling,   block   the
wheels.
•  Under  some  conditions  your  parking
brake can freeze  in the engaged posi-
tion.This is most likely to happen when
there is an accumulation 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 shift lever
in P  and block the  rear wheels so  the
car cannot roll. Then release the  park-
ing brake.
•  Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade
with  the  accelerator  pedal.  This  can
cause  the  transmission   to  overheat.
Always use the brake pedal  or parking
brake.
Don't  "ride"  the brake  pedal.  Resting
your foot on the brake pedal while driv-
ing can  be dangerous  because it  can
result  in  the  brakes  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  you   are   moving
slowly enough for it to be safe to do so,
pull  off  the  road  and  stop  in a  safe
place.
