Driving Your Vehicle6-20

[ Always apply the parking brake when
leaving the vehicle. Do not depend on
placing the transmission in P (Park) to
keep the vehicle from moving.

[ Exercise extreme caution when
driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the drive
wheels to lose traction and may cause
loss of vehicle control resulting in an
accident

[ Optimum vehicle performance
and fuel economy is obtained by
smoothly depressing and releasing
the accelerator. WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH:

[ALWAYS wear your seat belt. In a
collision, an unbelted occupant
is significantly more likely to be
seriously injured or killed than a
properly belted occupant.

[ Avoid high speeds when cornering or
turning.

[ Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.

[ The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of your
vehicle at highway speeds.

[ Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway
and the driver over steers to reenter
the roadway.

[ In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the t ravel lanes.

[ Genesis Branded Vehicle
recommends you to follow all posted
speed limits.

BRAKING SYSTEM
Power-Assist Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through normal
usage.
If the engine is not running or is turned
off while driving, the power assist for
the brakes will not work. You can still
stop your vehicle by applying greater
force to the brake pedal than typical.
The stopping distance, however, will be
longer than with power brakes.
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.
Information

[hen the brake pedal is
depressed under certain driving
conditions or weather conditions, you
may temporarily hear a noise. This is
normal and does not indicate a problem
with your brakes.

[ hile driving on a road with deicing
chemicals, brake noise or abnormal tire
wear may occur due to deicing
chemicals. In a safe traffic condition,
additionally apply the brakes to remove
deicing chemicals on the brake discs
and pads.
WARNING
Take the following precautions:

[ Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. This will create
abnormal high brake temperatures,
excessive brake lining and pad wear,
and increased stopping distances.

[ When descending down a long or
steep hill, use the paddle shifter
and manually downshift to a
lower gear in order to control your
speed without using the brake
pedal excessively. Applying the
brakes continuously will cause
the brakes to overheat and could
result in a temporary loss of braking
performance.

[ Wet brakes may impair the vehicle'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, lightly tap the brake pedal to
heat up the brakes while maintaining
a safe forward speed until brake
performance returns to normal.
Avoid driving at high speeds until the
brakes function correctly.

Driving Your Vehicle6-22
High Performance Brake
(if equipped)
For vehicles equipped with the High
Performance Brake (large-diameter
brembo brakes for enhanced braking
performance), noise such as a squeal,
squeak or groan is generated while
braking. This is normal and the friction
may create circle patterns on the
disc surface. This is also a normal
situation which does not affect braking
performance.
NOTICE

[ Occasional brake noise is normal. If
a continuous grinding or continuous
squeal sound is present, the brake
lining may be worn-out. Have the
vehicle checked by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.

[ If the vehicle has continuous
vibration or shudder in the steering
wheel while braking, have the
vehicle be checked by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
WARNING
Frequent speeding and braking may
deform components and worn the disc
brake causing vibration when braking.
Prevent brake damage by avoiding
excessive braking.
Brake wear, noise, vibration from
excessive braking or deformation of the
brakes caused by repeatedly braking in
high speed, racing on tracks, etc., can
be excluded from warranty coverage.
Disc Brakes Wear Indicator
When your brake pads are worn and new
pads are required, you will hear a high
pitched warning sound from your front
or rear brakes. You may hear this sound
come and go or it may occur whenever
you depress the brake pedal.
NOTICE
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not
continue to drive with worn brake pads.
Information
Always replace brake pads as complete
front or rear axle sets.
