2013 Hyundai I30 Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
BRAKE SYSTEM
Power brakes
Your vehicle  has  power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically  through normal
usage.
In  the   event   that  the   power-assisted
brakes lose  power because  of a  stalled
engine  or some  other  reason,  you can
still stop your vehicle by applying greater
force  to the  brake  pedal  than you  nor-
mally would.The stopping distance, how-
ever, will be longer.
When  the   engine  is  not   running,  the
reserve brake power is partially depleted
each time the brake  pedal is applied. Do
not  pump   the  brake   pedal  when   the
power assist has been interrupted.

WARNING - Brakes
Always,  confirm  the  position  of
the  brake and  accelerator  pedal
before driving. If you  don't check
the  position   of  the   accelerator
and  brake  pedal  before  driving,
you may  depress the accelerator
instead of the brake pedal. It may
cause a serious accident.
•  Do not  drive with  your foot  rest-
ing on  the  brake pedal. This  will
create abnormal  high brake tem-
peratures, excessive brake  lining
and   pad   wear,  and   increased
stopping distances.
•  When descending a long or steep
hill,  shift   to  a   lower  gear   and
avoid  continuous  application  of
the   brakes.   Continuous   brake
application will cause  the brakes
to overheat  and could result in  a
temporary  loss  of   braking  per-
formance.
Pump the brake pedal only  when neces-
sary to maintain  steering control on slip-
pery surfaces.
•  Wet  brakes may impair  the vehi-
cle’s ability  to safely  slow down;
the vehicle  may also  pull to  one
side when the brakes are applied.
Applying  the  brakes  lightly  will
indicate whether  they have  been
affected in  this  way. Always  test
your brakes  in this  fashion  after
driving  through   deep  water.  To
dry the brakes, apply them lightly
while maintaining  a safe  forward
speed  until   brake   performance
returns to normal.
