Hyundai Accent HCI 2019 Owner's Manual page 307

Your vehicle will not stop as quickly if
the brakes are wet. Wet brakes may
cause the vehicle to pull to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns
to normal. If the braking action does
not return to normal, stop as soon as
it is safe to do so and we recommend
that you call an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer for assistance.
DO NOT drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. Even light, but
constant pedal pressure can result in
the brakes overheating, brake wear,
and possibly even brake failure.
If a tire goes flat while you are driv-
ing, apply the brakes gently and
keep the vehicle pointed straight
ahead while you slow down. When
you are moving slowly enough for it
to be safe to do so, pull off the road
and stop in a safe location.
Keep your foot firmly on the brake
pedal when the vehicle is stopped to
prevent the vehicle from rolling for-
ward.
If your vehicle is equipped with an
Automatic Transmission, don't let
your vehicle creep forward. To avoid
creeping forward, keep your foot
firmly on the brake pedal when the
vehicle is stopped.
Be cautious when parking on a hill.
Firmly engage the parking brake and
place the shift lever in P (automatic
transmission). If your vehicle is fac-
ing downhill, turn the front wheels
into the curb to help keep the vehicle
from rolling.
If your vehicle is facing uphill, turn
the front wheels away from the curb
to help keep the vehicle from rolling.
If there is no curb or if it is required
by other conditions to keep the vehi-
cle from rolling, block the wheels.
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged
position. This is most likely to happen
when there is an accumulation of
snow or ice around or near the rear
brakes or if the brakes are wet. If
there is a risk that the parking brake
may freeze, apply it only temporarily
while you put the shift lever in P
(automatic transmission) and block
the rear wheels so the vehicle cannot
roll.
Then release the parking brake.
Do not hold the vehicle on an incline
with the accelerator pedal.
This can cause the transaxle to over-
heat. Always use the brake pedal or
parking brake.
