Good Braking Practices - Hyundai stargazer 2022 Owner's Manual

Driving your vehicle
System off
• Brake Assist System is canceled in the
following situations:
- The accelerator pedal is depressed
over a certain level.
- The vehicle stops.
- ESC (Electronic Stability Control) or
electronic devices has malfunc-
tioned.
- In a situation the system cannot op-
erate normally.
- Ten seconds have passed since the
brake has been controlled automat-
ically by The brake Assist System.
WARNING
• The brake Assist System decreases
vehicle speed after a collision and re-
duces the risk of a second collision,
but it does not prevent a second colli-
sion. You may drive away from the
collision spot to avoid other danger-
ous situations by depressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
• After the vehicle is stopped by the
brake Assist System, the system stops
controlling the brakes. Depending on
the situation, the driver should de-
press the brake or the accelerator
pedal to prevent a further accident.

Good braking practices

WARNING
Whenever leaving the vehicle or parking,
always come to a complete stop and con-
tinue to depress the brake pedal. Shift
the gear to the 1st gear (for Manual trans-
mission vehicle) or P (Parking) position
(for Continuously variable transmission),
then apply the parking brake, and place
the ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF posi-
tion.
Vehicles parked with the parking brake
not applied or not fully engaged may roll
inadvertently and may cause injury to the
driver and others. ALWAYS apply the
parking brake before exiting the vehicle.
Wet brakes can be dangerous! The brakes
may get wet if the vehicle is driven
through standing water or if it is washed.
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,
taking care to keep the vehicle under
control at all times. 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 driving, ap-
ply 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 forward.
