2011 Hyundai Genesis Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
After parking  the vehicle,  check to  be
sure the parking  brake is not engaged
and  that  the  parking  brake  indicator
light is out before driving away.
Driving   through  water   may  get   the
brakes  wet.  They  can   also  get  wet
when  the car  is  washed. Wet  brakes
can  be  dangerous!  Your  car  will  not
stop as  quickly  if the  brakes are  wet.
Wet brakes  may cause the  car to  pull
to one side.
To  dry  the  brakes,  apply  the  brakes
lightly until the braking action returns to
normal,  taking  care  to  keep  the  car
under control at all times. If the braking
action does  not return to normal,  stop
as soon as  it is safe  to do so and  call
an  authorized   HYUNDAI   dealer  for
assistance.
Don't coast down  hills with the car out
of  gear. This  is extremely  hazardous.
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.
•  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.
•  If  your car  is  equipped with  an  auto-
matic  transmission, don't  let  your car
creep  forward. To  avoid  creeping for-
ward,  keep   your  foot   firmly  on   the
brake pedal when the car is stopped.
•  Use  caution  when  parking  on  a  hill.
Firmly  engage the  parking brake  and
place  the  gear  selector lever  in  P.  If
your  car  is  facing  downhill,  turn  the
front wheels into the curb  to help keep
the car from rolling. If your car is facing
uphill, turn the  front wheels away from
the  curb  to  help  keep   the  car  from
rolling.  If  there  is  no  curb  or  if  it  is
required  by  other  conditions  to keep
the car 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   gear
selector lever in P (automatic transmis-
sion) and block  the rear wheels so the
car cannot roll. Then  release the park-
ing brake.
•  Do  not hold  the vehicle  on an  incline
with  the  accelerator  pedal.  This  can
cause  the  transmission   to  overheat.
Always use the brake pedal  or parking
brake.
