EFFECTIVE BRAKING

SC140A2-E
Braking system performance and fric-
tion material life are greatly affected by
the driving style adopted. The following
suggestions are made to assist in
achieving the best results from the
braking system.
o Anticipate the road and conditions
ahead in order that heavy braking
may be avoided.
o When descending long gradients, use
the engine to assist in retarding the
vehicle to minimise the possibility of
brake fade occurring.
o When trailer towing, ensure that the
trailer brakes function correctly and
use engine braking to assist the
vehicle braking system.
o Use only genuine Hyundai replace-
ment brake pads and shoes to en-
sure consistent friction characteris-
tics and wear rates.
o After driving through deep water (e.g.
fording), the brakes may become
wet and performance reduced. Al-
ways check brake efficiency after
emerging from the water and dry the
brakes by lightly depressing the brake
pedal several times whilst driving
slowly.
