Disc brakes wear indicator

Your vehicle has disc brakes.

When your brake pads are worn and new

pads are required, you will hear a high-

pitched warning sound from your front

brakes or rear brakes. You may hear this

sound come and go or it may occur

whenever you depress the brake pedal.

Please remember that some driving con-

ditions 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.

To engage the parking brake, first apply

the foot brake and then depress the park-

ing brake pedal down as far as possible.

In addition it is recommended that when

parking the vehicle on an incline, the shift

lever should be in the P (Park) position.

Releasing the parking brake

To release the parking brake, depress

the parking brake pedal a second time

while applying the foot brake. The pedal

will automatically extend to the fully

released position. If the parking brake

pedal does not release or does not

release all the way, have the system

checked by an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer.
