2019 Hyundai Santa Fe brake

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.HYUNDAI promotes an environmen-
tally sound treatment for end of life
vehicles and offers to take back your
HYUNDAI end of life vehicles in
accordance with the European Union
(EU) End of Life Vehicles Directive.
You can get detailed information
from your national HYUNDAI home-
page.

When returning the rear seat-
back from a folded to an upright
position, hold the seatback and
return it slowly. Ensure that the
seatback is completely locked
into its upright position by
pushing on the top of the seat-
back. In an accident or sudden
stop, the unlocked seatback
could allow cargo to move for-
ward with great force and enter
the passenger compartment,
which could result in serious
injury or death.
WARNING
Do not place objects in the rear
seats, since they cannot be
properly secured and may hit
vehicle occupants in a collision
causing serious injury or death.
WARNING
Make sure the engine is off, the
shift lever is in P (Park), and the
parking brake is securely applied
whenever loading or unloading
cargo. Failure to take these steps
may allow the vehicle to move if
the shift lever is inadvertently
moved to another position.
WARNING
Cargo should always be secured
to prevent it from being thrown
about the vehicle in a collision
and causing injury to the vehicle
occupants. Do not place objects
in the rear seats, since they can-
not be properly secured and may
hit the front seat occupants in a
collision.
WARNING
•Be careful when loading cargo
through the rear passenger
seats to prevent damage to
the vehicle interior.
•When cargo is loaded through
the rear passenger seats,
ensure the cargo is properly
secured to prevent it from
moving whilst driving.
CAUTION

2-68
Safety system of your vehicle
In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would
not be able to provide any additional
benefit, and thus the sensors may
not deploy any air bags.Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehicle
causing it to “ride” under a vehicle
with a higher ground clearance. Air
bags may not inflate in this "under-
ride" situation because deceleration
forces that are detected by sensors
may be significantly reduced by such
“underride” collisions.Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because front air
bag deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.
Information
The side and curtain air bags may
inflate in a rollover situation, when it
is detected by the rollover sensor.

Convenient features of your vehicle
Deadlocks (if equipped)
Some vehicles are equipped with a
deadlock system. Deadlocks prevent
opening of a door from either inside
or outside the vehicle once the dead-
locks have been activated providing
an additional measure of vehicle
security.
To lock the vehicle using the dead-
lock function, the doors must be
locked by using the remote key or
smart key. To unlock the vehicle, the
transmitter or smart key must be
used again.
Auto door lock/unlock features
Impact sensing door unlock
system (if equipped)
All doors will be automatically
unlocked when an impact causes the
air bags to deploy.
Speed sensing door lock system
(if equipped)
All doors will be automatically locked
when vehicle speed exceeds 9 mph
(15 km/h). Leaving your vehicle unlocked
increases the potential risk to
you or others from someone
hiding in your vehicle.
To secure your vehicle, whilst
depressing the brake, move the
shift lever to the P (Park) posi-
tion (for automatic transmis-
sion) or first gear or R (Reverse,
for manual transmission),
engage the parking brake, and
place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position, close all
windows, lock all doors, and
always take the key with you.
WARNING
Do not lock the doors with the
remote key or the smart key with
anybody left in the vehicle. The
passenger in the vehicle cannot
unlock the doors with the door
lock button. For example, if the
door is locked with the remote
key, the passenger in the vehicle
cannot unlock the door without
the transmitter.
WARNING
Opening a door when something
is approaching may cause dam-
age or injury. Be careful when
opening doors and watch for
vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles
or pedestrians approaching the
vehicle in the path of the door.
WARNING
If you stay in the vehicle for a
long time whilst the weather is
very hot or cold, there are risks
of injuries or danger to life. Do
not lock the vehicle from the out-
side when someone is in the
vehicle.
