v o i r i s l o w :
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safelocation and stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check the brake fluid level immediately
and add fluid as required (For
more details, refer to “Brake Fluid”
in chapter 7). After adding brake
fluid, check all brake components
for fluid leaks. If a brake fluid leak
is found, or if the warning light
remains on, or if the brakes do not
operate properly, do not drive the
vehicle. We recommend you to
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
D u a l d i a g o n a l b r a k i n g s y s t e m
Your vehicle is equipped with dual
diagonal braking systems. This
means you still have braking on two
wheels even if one of the dual sys
tems should fail.
With only one of the dual systems
working, more than normal pedal
travel and greater pedal pressure is
required to stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as
short a distance with only a portion
of the brake system working.
If the brakes fail while you are driv
ing, shift to a lower gear for addition
al engine braking and stop the vehi
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.

Driving your vehicle
Using the clutch (if equipped)
The clutch pedal should be
depressed all the way to the floor
before:
Starting the engine The engine will not start without
depressing the clutch pedal.
Shifting
When releasing the clutch pedal,
release it slowly. The clutch pedal
should always be released while
driving. To prevent unnecessary wear or
damage to the clutch:
•Do not rest your foot on the clutch
pedal while driving.
•Do not hold the vehicle with the
clutch on an incline, while waiting
for the traffic light, etc.
•Always depress the clutch pedal
down fully to prevent noise or dam
age.
•Do not start with the 2nd (second)
gear engaged except when you
start on a slippery road.
Downshifting
Downshift when you must slow down
in heavy traffic or drive up a steep hill
to prevent engine load.
Also, downshifting reduces the
chance of stalling and can accelerate
when you need to increase your
speed again.
When the vehicle is going downhill,
downshifting helps maintain safe
speed by providing brake power from
the engine and enables less wear on
the brakes.
NOTICE

To prevent damage to the engine,
clutch and transaxle:
•When downshifting from 5th gear
to 4th gear, be careful not to inad
vertently push the shift lever side
ways engaging the 2nd gear. A
drastic downshift may cause the
engine speed to increase to the
point the tachometer will enter the
redzone.
•Do not downshift more than two
gear at a time or downshift the
gear when the engine is running at
high speed (5,000 RPM or higher).
Such a downshifting may damage
the engine, clutch and the
transaxle.
Good driving practices
• Never take the vehicle out of gearand coast down a hill. This is
extremely dangerous.
• Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause the brakes and related parts
to overheat and malfunction.
When you are driving down a long
hill, slow down and shift to a lower
gear. Engine braking will help slow
down the vehicle.
• Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. This will help avoid
overrevving the engine, which can
cause damage.
• Slow down when you encounter cross winds. This gives you much
better control of your vehicle.
• Be sure the vehicle is completely stopped before you shift into R
(Reverse) to prevent damage to
the transaxle. • 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
NOTICE
Do not use the engine brake (shift
ing from a higher gear to lower
gear) rapidly on slippery roads.
The vehicle may slip causing an
accident.
WARNING

5-28
Driving your vehicle
1. Press the shiftlock release button.
2. Press and hold the lock release button on the shift lever.
3. Move the shift lever.
4. Have your vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer immediately
Parking
Always come to a complete stop and
continue to depress the brake pedal.
Move the shift lever into the P (Park)
position, apply the parking brake,
and place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position. Take the Key
with you when exiting the vehicle.
Good driving practices
• Never move the shift lever from P(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other
position with the accelerator pedaldepressed.
• Never move the shift lever into P (Park) when the vehicle is in
motion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
• Do not move the shift lever to N (Neutral) when driving. Doing so
may result in an accident because
of a loss of engine braking and the
transaxle could be damaged.
• Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. Even light, but
consistent pedal pressure can
result in the brakes overheating,
brake wear and possibly even
brake failure.
• Depressing both accelerator and brake pedals at the same time can
trigger logic for engine power
reduction to assure vehicle decel
eration. Vehicle acceleration will
resume after the brake pedal isreleased.
When you stay in the vehicle with
the engine running, be careful not
to depress the accelerator pedal
for a long period of time. The
engine or exhaust system may
overheat and start a fire.
The exhaust gas and the exhaust
system are very hot. Keep away
from the exhaust system compo
nents.
Do not stop or park over flamma
ble materials, such as dry grass,
paper or leaves. They may ignite
and cause a fire.

Driving your vehicle
Power brakes
Your vehicle has powerassisted
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 dis
tance, however, will be longer than
with power brakes.
When the engine is not running, the
reser ve brake power is par tially
depleted each time the brake pedal
is applied. Do not pump the brake
pedal when the power assist has
been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when
necessary to maintain steering con
trol on slippery surfaces.
BRAKING SYSTEM
Take the following precautions:
•Do not drive with your foot rest
ing on the brake pedal. This will
create abnormal high brake tem
peratures, excessive brake lin
ing and pad wear, and
increased stopping distances.
•When descending a long or
steep hill, shift to a lower gear
and avoid continuous applica
tion of the brakes. Applying the
brakes continuously will cause
the brakes to overheat and
could result in a temporary loss
of braking performance.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•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,
lightly tap the brake pedal to
heat up the brakes while main
taining a safe forward speed
until brake performance returns
to normal. Avoid driving at high
speeds until the brakes function
correctly.

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.
Please remember some driving con
ditions or climates may cause a
brake squeal when you first apply (or
lightly apply) the brakes. This is nor
mal and does not indicate a problem
with your brakes.
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not
continue to drive with worn brake
pads.
Information
Always replace brake pads as com
plete front or rear axle sets.
Rear drum brakes
(if equipped)
Your rear drum brakes do not have
wear indicators.Therefore, have the
rear brake linings inspected if you
hear a rear brake rubbing noise. Also
have your rear brakes inspected
each time you change or rotate your
tires and when you have the front
brakes replaced.
Parking brake
Always set the parking brake before
leaving the vehicle, to apply:
Firmly depress the brake pedal.
Pull up the parking brake lever as far
as possible.
