2015 Hyundai I30 Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
Good braking practices
WARNING
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.
Don't  "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 los-
ing their effectiveness. It also increases
the wear of the brake components.
•  If a  tire goes flat while  you are driving,
apply  the brakes  gently and  keep  the
car  pointed  straight  ahead  while  you
slow down. When you are moving slow-
ly enough for it to be safe  to do so, pull
off the road and stop in a safe place.
•  Use  caution  when  parking  on   a  hill.
Firmly  engage the  parking  brake  and
place the  shift lever  in P. If  your car  is
facing  downhill,  turn  the  front wheels
into the curb  to help keep the  car from
rolling. If  your car  is facing  uphill, turn
the front wheels  away from the curb  to
help keep the car from rolling. If there is
no curb or if it is  required by other con-
ditions to keep the car from rolling, block
the wheels.
•  Under  some   conditions  your  parking
brake can  freeze in the  engaged posi-
tion. This is most likely to happen when
there is an accumulation of snow or ice
around or near the rear brakes  or if the
brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the
parking brake may  freeze, apply it only
temporarily while you put the  shift lever
in P  and block  the rear  wheels so the
car cannot roll.Then release the parking
brake.
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.
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.
Do not hold the vehicle  on the upgrade
with  the  accelerator   pedal.  This  can
cause the transaxle to overheat. Always
use the brake pedal or parking brake.
•  If your car is equipped with an automat-
ic  transaxle/dual   clutch  transmission,
don't let your car creep forward.To avoid
creeping forward,  keep your foot  firmly
on  the  brake  pedal  when  the  car  is
stopped.
