brake Hyundai Equus 2016 Workshop Manual

Do not slide down (or coast down)the vehicle on a slope out of gear.
This is extremely hazardous. Keep
the vehicle in gear at all times,
depress the brake pedal to slow
down, and then shift to a lower
gear so that engine braking will
help you maintain a safe speed.
Do not "ride" the brake pedal. Resting your foot on the brake
pedal, while driving, is dangerous
because it may result brake over-
heating or lose braking effects. It
also wears out the brake compo-
nents.
If a tire goes flat while driving, gen- tly depress the brake pedal. Keep
the driving direction straight ahead
while slowing down the speed.
When the speed is lowered
enough to be safe, pull off and stop
the vehicle in a safe place.
When your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, do
not let your car creep forward. To
avoid creeping forward, firmly
depress the brake pedal when
stopping the vehicle.
Be careful when parking on a slope. Firmly set the parking brake
and place the shift lever in P(Park).
When parking the vehicle on a
downward slope, steer the front
wheels sideways (into the curbs) to
prevent the vehicle from rolling.
When parking the vehicle on an
upwards, turn the front wheels
sideways (away from the curb) to
prevent the vehicle from rolling.
If there is no curb, or if it is required
by other conditions, block the
wheels with obstacles to keep the
vehicle from rolling. Under some conditions, your park-
ing brake may freeze in the
engaged position. This is most like-
ly to happen, when there is an
accumulation of snow or ice
around or near the rear brakes, or
when the brake is wet. When there
is a risk that the parking brake may
freeze, temporarily depress the
brake pedal while locating the shift
lever(automatic transmission) in
P(Park) and block the rear wheels.
Thus, the vehicle may not roll.
Then, release the parking brake.
Do not hold the vehicle on a slope by depressing the accelerator. This
may overheat the transmission.
Always use the brake pedal or
parking brake.

When using the Cruise Control
mode, you must check the dis-
tance from other vehicles for
yourself, as the system will not
automatically brake to slow
down.
WARNING
Do not install accessoriesaround the sensor and do not
replace the bumper by your-
self. It may interfere with the
sensor performance.
Always keep the sensor and bumper clean.
To prevent sensor cover from being damaged, use a soft
cloth to clean your vehicle.
Do not strike the sensor or the sensor area with a strong
impact. When the sensor
moves slightly off position,
the Smart Cruise Control sys-
tem will not correctly operate.
If this occurs, immediately
have your vehicle checked by
an authorized EQUUS dealer.
Use only an authorized HYUNDAI sensor cover for
your vehicle.
CAUTION

Limitations of the system
The Smart Cruise Control system
may have limits to its ability to meas-
ure a distance from a vehicle in front
due to road and traffic conditions.
On curves
On curves, the Smart CruiseControl system may not detect a
moving vehicle in front in your lane.
Then, your vehicle may accelerate
to the set speed. Also, the vehicle
speed will abruptly slow down,
when suddenly recognizing a vehi-
cle in front.
Select an appropriate set speed on curves and depress the brake or
the accelerator, if necessary. Your vehicle speed may slow down
due to an adjacent vehicle in the
next lane. Depress the accelerator
and select an appropriate set
speed. Make sure that the road
conditions are safe to operate the
Smart Cruise Control.
On a slope
When driving uphill or downhill, theSmart Cruise Control system may
not detect a moving vehicle in your
lane, and cause your vehicle to
accelerate to the set speed. Also,
the vehicle speed will slow down,
when the system suddenly detects
a vehicle in front.
Select an appropriate set speed for a slope and depress the brake or
the accelerator, if necessary.

A vehicle may be unrecognized by
the sensor, when;
- The vehicle points upwards due tooverloading in the trunk,
- The steering wheel is operated,
- The vehicle drives astray to one side of a lane, and
- The vehicle drives in a narrow lane or on a curve.
If necessary, depress the brake
pedal or the accelerator.
When vehicles are parked in a line, and when a vehicle in front drives
out of the line, the system may not
recognize other parked vehicles in
the line. Thus, be careful, when you
start to drive. Always look out for abrupt appear-
ance of any passers-by, while your
vehicle system automatically con-
trols and maintains a safe distance
from a vehicle in front.
Always be cautious for vehicles with higher height or vehicles car-
rying loads that sticks out from the
back of the vehicle.
