5- 8 DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING:
Nothing should be carried on top of
the shelf panel behind the rear seat.
If there were an accident or a sud-
den stop, such objects could move
forward and cause damage to the
vehicle or injure the occupants.
o After being parked, check to be sure
the hand brake is not engaged and
that the hand brake indicator light is
out before driving away.
o 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 call your Hyundai dealer for
assistance.

GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES
!
o Don't coast down hills with the car
out of gear. This is extremely haz-
ardous. 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 main-
tain a safe speed.
o Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Rest-
ing your foot on the brake pedal
while driving can be dangerous be-
cause it can result in the brakes
overheating and losing their effec-
tiveness. It also increases the wear
of the brake components.
o If a tyre 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 slowly enough for it to be
safe to do so, pull off the road and
stop in a safe place.
o If your car is equipped with an auto-
matic transaxle, don't let your car
creep forward. To avoid creeping
forward, keep your foot firmly on the
brake pedal when the car is stopped.
o In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pull-
ing back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed lim-
its.
