2012 Hyundai I40 Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
Good braking practices
WARNING
•  Check to  be sure the  parking brake is
not   engaged  and   that   the  parking
brake indicator light  is out before  driv-
ing away.
•  If a tire goes  flat while you are driving,
apply the  brakes gently  and keep  the
vehicle  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.
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.
•  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.
•  If  your   vehicle  is  equipped  with   an
automatic  transaxle,  do  not  let   your
vehicle creep  forward. To avoid creep-
ing  forward, keep  your  foot  firmly  on
the  brake  pedal  when  the  vehicle is
stopped.
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  call
an  authorized   HYUNDAI   dealer  for
assistance.
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.
•  Be  cautious  when  parking  on  a  hill.
Firmly  engage the  parking brake  and
place  the  shift  lever  in  P  (automatic
transaxle)  or  in  first  or  reverse  gear
(manual  transaxle). 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.
Do not 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.
Do not "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.
