2012 Hyundai I20 Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
E070600APB
•  Check to  be sure the  parking brake is
not   engaged  and   that   the  parking
brake indicator light  is out before  driv-
ing away.
WARNING
Good braking practices
The Vehicle Stability Management
system  is   not  a   substitute  for
safe driving  practices but  a sup-
plementary function only. It is the
responsibility   of   the   driver  to
always check  the  speed and  the
distance  to   the   vehicle  ahead.
Always  hold  the  steering  wheel
firmly while driving.
WARNING
•  Driving   through  water   may  get   the
brakes  wet.  They  can   also  get  wet
when   the   vehicle   is  washed.   Wet
brakes can be dangerous! Your vehicle
will not stop as quickly if the brakes are
wet. Wet brakes may cause the vehicle
to pull to one side.
Whenever you leave or  park your
vehicle,  always  set  the   parking
brake as far as possible and  fully
engage   the  vehicle's   transaxle
into  the P  (Park)  position. If  the
parking
brake
is
not
fully
engaged,  the  vehicle may  move
inadvertently and  injure  yourself
and others.
Your vehicle  is designed  to acti-
vate   according  to   the   driver’s
intention,   even   with   the   VSM
installed.  Always   follow  all   the
normal precautions for  driving at
safe speeds  for the  conditions –
including   driving   in   inclement
weather and on a slippery road.
To  dry  the  brakes,  apply  the  brakes
lightly until the braking action returns to
normal, taking care to keep the vehicle
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  we
recommend that you call an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
All  vehicles should  always  have
the  parking brake  fully  engaged
when  parking  to  avoid  inadver-
tent   movement   of  the   vehicle
which  can   injure  occupants  or
pedestrians.
Driving with varying tire or  wheel
sizes may cause the VSM system
to  malfunction.  When  replacing
tires,   make  sure   they   are  the
same size as your original tires.
•  Don't coast  down hills with the vehicle
out  of   gear.  This  is  extremely   haz-
ardous. Keep the vehicle  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  the
brakes  might overheat  and  lose  their
effectiveness.  It   also   increases  the
wear of the brake components.
