D110A01P-GAT GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES
WARNING:
Nothing should be carried on top of the cargo area cover behind the rear seat. If there were an accident or a sudden stop, such objectscould move forward and cause dam- age to the vehicle or injure the oc- cupants.
o After being parked, check to be sure the parking brake is not engagedand that the parking brake indicator light is out before driving away.
o Driving through water may get the brakes wet. They can also get wetwhen the vehicle is washed. Your vehicle may not stop as quickly if thebrakes are wet and it may also pull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes lightly until the brakingaction returns to normal, taking care to keep the vehicle under control at all times. If the braking action doesnot return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do so and call your Hyundai dealer for assistance. o Don’t coast down hills with the ve-
hicle out of gear. This may be ex-tremely hazardous. Keep the vehicle in gear at all times, use the brakes to slow down, thenshift to a lower gear so that engine braking will help you maintain a safe speed.
o Don’t "ride" the brake pedal. Rest- ing your foot on the brake pedalwhile driving can be dangerous be-cause it can result in the brakes overheating and losing their effec- tiveness. It also increases the wearof the brake components.
o If a tire goes flat while you are
driving, apply the brakes gently andkeep the vehicle pointed straight ahead while you slow down. When you are moving slowly enough for itto be safe to do so, pull off the road and stop in a safe place.
o If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, don’t letyour vehicle creep forward. To avoid creeping forward, keepyour foot on the brake pedal when the vehicle is stopped.

STARTING AND OPERATING
25BACK WARNING SYSTEM
NOTE:
o Back warning system should onlybe considered as a supplemen- tary function. The driver mustcheck the rear view.
o The audible warning signal can
be different depending on theobjects.
o The audible warning signal might
not activate in case the sensor isfrozen or stained with dirt or mud.
o There is a chance of malfunction
of the back warning system whendriving in uneven surfaces such as woods, gravel road, jagged road, or gradient.
o Do not push, or scratch the sur- face of the sensor. This will likelydamage the covering.
o The sensor system might not rec- ognize sharp objects, thick win-ter clothes or sponges whichabsorb the frequency.
o Clean dirty sensors with a soft
sponge and clean water.
o When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-est one will be recognized first.
C400A01P-GAT (If installed)
The back warning system assists the driver during backward movement ofthe vehicle by chiming if any object is sensed within the distance of 1200 mm (47 in.) behind the vehicle. Thissystem is only a supplemental system. Sensor

o Use caution when parking on a hill.
Engage the parking brake and place the gear selector lever in "P"(automatic transmission) or in first or reverse gear (manual trans-mission). If your vehicle is facing downhill, turn the front wheels away from the curb to help keep thevehicle from rolling. If there is no curb or if it is required by other conditions to keep the vehicle fromrolling, block the wheels.
o Under some conditions your park-
ing brake can freeze in the engagedposition. This is most likely to hap- pen when there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near therear brakes or if the brakes are wet. if there is a risk that the parking brake may freeze, apply it only tem-porarily while you put the gear se- lector lever in "P" (automatic trans- mission) or in first or reverse gear(manual transmission) and block the rear wheels so the vehicle cannot roll. Then release the parking brake.

Waxing the vehicle will help preventthe adherence of dust and road chemi-cals to the paintwork. Apply a wax solution after washing the vehicle, and apply wax at least once every threemonths. F010D01P-GAT
Polishing
The vehicles should only be polished if
the paintwork has become stained or lost its luster. Mat-finish parts and plastic bumpers must not be polished;polishing these parts will stain them or damage their finish.
F010E01P-GAT
Wheels
The wheels are painted and, therefore,
require the same care and mainte- nance as the vehicle body.
