2012 Hyundai I30 Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
Good braking practices
WARNING
•  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  we
recommend that you call an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
•  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.
WARNING
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.
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.
Whenever
leaving
vehicle
or
parking,  always  set  the  parking
brake as far as possible and  fully
engage   the  vehicle's   transaxle
into  the  park  position.  Vehicles
not fully engaged in park with the
parking  brake set  are at  risk  for
moving  inadvertently  and   injur-
ing yourself or others.
All  vehicles should  always  have
the  parking brake  fully  engaged
when  parking  to  avoid  inadver-
tent  movement of  the  car which
can injure occupants or pedestri-
ans.
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.
