2012 Hyundai I30 Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
In the event of brake failure
(if equipped)
Disc brakes wear indicator
Your vehicle has disc brakes.
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 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  (if equipped). 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.
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.

Parking brake - Hand type
Applying the parking brake
To engage  the parking brake,  first apply
the foot brake and  then without pressing
the  release  button  in,  pull  the  parking
brake lever up as far as possible. In addi-
tion it is recommended that when parking
the vehicle  on a gradient,  the shift  lever
should be  positioned  in the  appropriate
low gear for manual transaxle vehicles or
in  the  P  (Park)   position  for  automatic
transaxle vehicles.
CAUTION
To avoid  costly brake  repairs, do
not  continue  to drive  with  worn
brake pads.
Always  replace   brake   pads  as
complete front or rear axle sets.
WARNING - Brake wear
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.
