2016 Hyundai Equus brake pads

In the event of brake failure
When service brakes fail to operate
while driving, you can make an
emergency stop by setting the park-
ing brake. The braking distance,
however, will become longer than
normal.
Disc brakes wear indicator
Your vehicle is equipped with disc
brakes. When your brake pads are
worn down and new pads are
required, you will hear a high-pitched
warning sound from the front or rear
brakes. You may hear this beeping
sound or it may sound when the
brake pedal is depressed.
Please remember that some driving
conditions 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 prevent costly brake repairs,do not drive continuously with
the worn-down brake pads.
Always replace brake pads in a set of a complete front and rear
axle.
NOTICE
5-18
Driving your vehicle
- Parking brake
Setting the parking brake while
driving at a normal speed may
cause a sudden loss of vehicle
control. If you must set the
parking brake to stop, set it with
great caution.
WARNING
- Brake wear
This brake wear warning sound
indicates that your vehicle
should be repaired. If you
ignore this audible warning
sound, you will eventually lose
braking performance, which
may lead to a serious accident.
