BRAKE SYSTEM
Power Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes 
that adjust automatically through normal 
usage.
If the engine is not running or is turned 
off while driving, the power assist for 
the brakes will not work. You can still 
stop your vehicle by applying greater 
force to the brake pedal than typical. 
The stopping distance, however, will be 
longer than with power brakes.
When the engine is not running, the 
reserve brake power is partially depleted 
each time the brake pedal is applied. 
Do not pump the brake pedal when the 
power assist has been interrupted.
Only pump the brakes on slippery 
surfaces if the power assist has been 
interrupted to maintain steering control. 
Do not pump the brakes on slippery 
surfaces if the brakes are operating 
normally.
 WARNING
Take the following precautions:
[  Do not drive with your foot resting 
on the brake pedal. This will create 
abnormal high brake temperatures, 
excessive brake lining and pad wear, 
and increased stopping distances.
[  When descending down a long or 
steep hill, move the gear shift lever 
to Manual Shift Mode and manually 
downshift to a lower gear in order 
to control your speed without using 
the brake pedal excessively. Applying 
the brakes continuously will cause 
the brakes to overheat and could 
result in a temporary loss of braking 
performance.
[ Wet brakes may impair the vehicle's 
ability to safely slow down; the 
vehicle may also pull to one side 
when the brakes are applied. 
Applying the brakes lightly will 
indicate whether they have been 
affected in this way. Always test your 
brakes in this fashion after driving 
through deep water. To dry the 
brakes, lightly tap the brake pedal to 
heat up the brakes while maintaining 
a safe forward speed until brake 
performance returns to normal. 
Avoid driving at high speeds until the 
brakes function correctly.
Disc Brakes Wear Indicator
When your brake pads are worn and new 
pads are required, you will hear a high 
pitched warning sound from your front 
or rear brakes. You may hear this sound 
come and go or it may occur whenever 
you depress the brake pedal.
Note that some driving conditions or 
climates may cause a brake squeal 
when you first apply (or lightly apply) 
the brakes. This is normal and does not 
indicate a problem with your brakes.
NOTICE
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not 
continue to drive with worn brake pads.
 Information
Always replace brake pads as complete 
front or rear axle sets.
Rear Drum Brakes (if equipped)
Your rear drum brakes do not have wear 
indicators. Therefore, have the rear brake 
linings inspected if you hear a rear brake 
rubbing noise. Also have your rear brakes 
inspected each time you change or 
rotate your tires and when you have the 
front brakes replaced.

Maintenance8-14
Brake/Clutch Fluid
Check the brake fluid level in the brake 
fluid reservoir. The level should be 
between the MIN and the MAX marks 
on the side of the reservoir. Use only 
hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 
4 specification.
Parking Brake
Inspect the parking brake system 
including the parking brake pedal and 
cables.
Brake Discs, Pads, Calipers and 
Rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear, discs 
for run out and wear, and calipers for 
fluid leakage.
Exhaust Pipe and Muffler
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, 
muffler and hangers for cracks, 
deterioration, or damage. Start 
the engine and listen carefully for 
any exhaust gas leakage. Tighten 
connections or replace parts as 
necessary.
Suspension Mounting Bolts
Check the suspension connections for 
looseness or damage. Retighten to the 
specified torque.
Steering Gear Box, Linkage & 
Boots/Lower Arm Ball Joint
With the vehicle stopped and the engine 
off, check for excessive freeplay in the 
steering wheel. Check the linkage for 
bends or damage. Check the dust boots 
and ball joints for deterioration, cracks, 
or damage.
Replace any damaged parts.
Drive Shafts and Boots
Check the drive shafts, boots and clamps 
for cracks, deterioration, or damage. 
Replace any damaged parts and, if 
necessary, repack the grease.
Air Conditioning Refrigerant
Check the air conditioning lines and 
connections for leakage and damage.

Tire Rotation
To equalize tread wear, HYUNDAI 
recommends that the tires 
be rotated according to the 
maintenance schedule or sooner if 
irregular wear develops.
During rotation, check the tires for 
correct balance.
When rotating tires, check for 
uneven wear and damage. Abnormal 
wear is usually caused by incorrect 
tire pressure, improper wheel 
alignment, out-of-balance wheels, 
severe braking or severe cornering. 
Look for bumps or bulges in the 
tread or side of the tire. Replace 
the tire if you find any of these 
conditions. Replace the tire if fabric 
or cord is visible. After rotation, be 
sure to bring the front and rear tire 
pressures to specification and check 
lug nut tightness (proper torque is 
79~94 lbf·ft [11~13 kgf·m]).
  „Without a spare tire
ODH073802
Disc brake pads should be inspected 
for wear whenever tires are rotated.
 Information
Tires that are asymmetrical or 
directional can only be installed on 
the wheel in one direction. The outside 
and inside of an asymmetrical tire 
is not easily distinguishable. Pay 
careful attention to the markings 
on the sidewalls of the tires, noting 
the “outside” marking and also the 
rotating direction before installing 
them on the vehicle.
 WARNING
[ Do not use the compact spare 
tire for tire rotation.
[  Do not mix bias ply and radial ply 
tires under any circumstances. 
This may cause unusual handling 
characteristics that may cause 
loss of vehicle control resulting in 
an accident.
Wheel Alignment and Tire 
Balance
The wheels on your vehicle were 
aligned and balanced carefully at the 
factory to give you the longest tire 
life and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to 
have your wheels aligned again. 
However, if you notice unusual tire 
wear or your vehicle pulling one way 
or the other, the alignment may need 
to be reset.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating 
when driving on a smooth road, your 
wheels may need to be rebalanced.
NOTICE
Improper wheel weights can 
damage your vehicle’s aluminum 
wheels. Use only approved wheel 
weights.
