DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

Indicators and Warning
The indicators should illuminate when
the ignition key is turned to ON or
START but should go out after approxi-
mately 3 seconds.
If the indicators do not illuminate, or the
ESP or ESP-OFF indicator does not go
out after approximately 3 seconds, have
the vehicle checked by Hyundai
authorised repairer.
Should there be any unusual conditions
in the device whilst driving, ESP-OFF
indicator illuminates as a warning.
If ESP-OFF indicator illuminates, pull
your car to a safe place and stop the
engine.
Then, start the engine again to check if
the ESP-OFF indicator goes out.
If the indicator remains lit even after the
engine has been started, have your car
checked by Hyundai authorised repairer.
EFFECTIVE BRAKING
SC140A2-E
Braking system performance and fric-
tion material life are greatly affected by
the driving style adopted. The following
suggestions are made to assist in
achieving the best results from the
braking system.
o Anticipate the road and conditions
ahead in order that heavy braking
may be avoided.
o When descending long gradients, use
the engine to assist in retarding the
vehicle to minimize the possibility of
brake fade occurring.
o When trailer towing, ensure that the
trailer brakes function correctly and
use engine braking to assist the
vehicle braking system.
o Use only genuine Hyundai replace-
ment brake pads and shoes to en-
sure consistent friction characteris-
tics and wear rates.
o After driving through deep water (e.g.
fording), the brakes may become wet
and performance reduced. Always
check brake efficiency after emerg-
ing from the water and dry the brakes
by lightly depressing the brake pedal
several times whilst driving slowly.
o Apply the parking brake only when
the vehicle is at rest.
o Since the power assistance provided
by the brake servo is derived from
the engine, coasting with the engine
turned off or towing of the vehicle
with the engine turned off will result in
greatly increased pedal pressures
being required to stop the vehicle.
o Do not hold the vehicle on an incline
with the accelerator pedal. This can
cause the transmission to overheat.
Always use the brake pedal or park-
ing brake.
o Use caution when parking on a hill.
Engage the parking brake and place
the gear selector lever in "P" (auto-
matic transaxle) or in first or reverse
gear (manual transaxle). 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 conditions to
keep the car from rolling, block the
wheels.
