brakes Hyundai Tucson 2019 Owner's Manual - RHD (UK, Australia)

As with other vehicles of this type,
failure to operate this vehicle correct-
ly may result in loss of control, an
accident or vehicle rollover.
Specific design characteristics (high-
er ground clearance, track, etc.) give
this vehicle a higher centre of gravity
than other types of vehicles. In other
words they are not designed for cor-
nering at the same speeds as con-
ventional 2-wheel drive vehicles.
Avoid sharp turns or abrupt manoeu-
vres. Again, failure to operate this
vehicle correctly may result in loss of
control, an accident or vehicle
rollover.Be sure to read the
"Reducing the risk of a rollover"
driving guidelines, in section 5 of
this manual. By following a few simple precautions
for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) you
may add to the performance, econo-
my and life of your vehicle.
• Do not race the engine.
• Whilst driving, keep your engine
speed (rpm, or revolutions per
minute) between 2,000 rpm and
4,000 rpm.
• Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speed is need-
ed to properly break-in the engine.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emer- gencies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.
• Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of operation.

Introduction
•Never use any fuel, whether
diesel, B7 biodiesel or other-
wise, that fails to meet the lat-
est petroleum industry speci-
fication.
•Never use any fuel additives
or treatments that are not rec-
ommended or approved by
the vehicle manufacturer.

Parking Brake & BrakeFluid Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
• Once you set the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button to the
ON position.
- It illuminates for approximately 3seconds
- It remains on if the parking brake is applied.
• When the parking brake is applied.
• When the brake fluid level in the reservoir is low.
- If the warning light illuminateswith the parking brake released, it
indicates the brake fluid level in
reservoir is low.
If the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir is low:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe location 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). Then check all brake
components for fluid leaks. If any
leak on brake system is still found,
the warning light remains on, or the
brakes do not operate properly, do
not drive the vehicle.
In this case, we recommend that
you have the vehicle towed to a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer and
inspected.
Dual-diagonal braking system
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 are
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 whilst 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.

Using the clutch
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 whilst
driving. To prevent unnecessary wear or
damage to the clutch:
• Do not rest your foot on the
clutch pedal whilst driving.
• Do not hold the vehicle with the clutch on an incline, whilst wait-
ing for the traffic light, etc.
• Always depress the clutch pedal down fully to prevent noise or
damage.
• Do not start with the 2nd (sec- ond) 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
TLe UK 5.qxp 5/10/2018 12:20 PM Page 21

5-22
Driving your vehicle
To prevent damage to the engine,
clutch and transaxle:
• When downshifting from 5th gear to 4th gear, be careful not
to inadvertently push the shift
lever sideways engaging the 2nd
gear. A drastic downshift may
cause the engine speed to
increase to the point the
tachometer will enter the red-
zone.
• 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
over-revving 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
(shifting from a higher gear to
lower gear) rapidly on slippery
roads. The vehicle may slip
causing an accident.

Ignition key interlock system (if equipped)
The ignition key cannot be removed
unless the shift lever is in the P
(Park) position.
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 pedal
depressed.
• 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.
• When driving in sports mode, slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear
may not be engaged if the engine
rpms are outside of the allowable
range.
When you stay in the vehicle
with the engine running, be
careful not to depress the accel-
erator 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 components.
Do not stop or park over flam-
mable materials, such as dry
grass, paper or leaves. They
may ignite and cause a fire.

Driving your vehicle• The dual clutch transmission givesthe driving feel of a manual
transaxle, yet provides the ease of
a fully automatic transaxle. Unlike
a traditional automatic transaxle,
the gear shifting can be felt (and
heard) on the dual clutch transmis-
sion
- Think of it as an automaticallyshifting manual transaxle.
- Shift into Drive range and get fully automatic shifting, similar to a
conventional automatic transaxle. • Dual clutch transmission adopts
dry-type dual clutch, which is dif-
ferent from torque converter of
automatic transaxle, and shows
better acceleration performance
during driving. But, initial launch
might be little bit slower than
Automatic Transaxle.
• Gear shifts are sometimes more noticeable than a conventional
automatic transmission and a light
vibration during launching can be
felt as the transmission speed is
matched with the engine speed.
This is a normal condition of the
dual clutch transmission.
• The dry-type clutch transfers torque and provides a direct driv-
ing feeling which may feel different
from a conventional automatic
transaxle with a torque converter.
This may be more noticeable when
starting from a stop or low vehicle
speed.
• When rapidly accelerating at low vehicle speed, engine could rev at
high rpm depending on vehicle
drive condition.
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death:
•ALWAYS check the surround-
ing areas near your vehicle for
people, especially children,
before shifting a vehicle into
D (Drive) or R (Reverse).
•Before leaving the driver’s
seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in the P (Park)
position, then set the parking
brake, and place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF posi-
tion. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occur
if these precautions are not
followed.
•Do not use the engine brake
(shifting from a high gear to
lower gear) rapidly on slip-
pery roads. The vehicle may
slip causing an accident.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•To avoid damage to your
transaxle, do not try to accel-
erate in R (Reverse) or any for-
ward gear position with the
brakes on.
•When stopped on slope, do
not hold the vehicle with
accelerator pedal. Use the
service brake or the parking
brake.
