Disc Brakes Wear Indicator; High Performance Brake - Hyundai i30 N Owner's Manual

(Continued)
• 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
affected in this way. Always
test your brakes in this fash-
ion after driving through deep
water. To dry the brakes, light-
ly tap the brake pedal to heat
up the brakes whilst maintain-
ing a safe forward speed until
brake performance returns to
normal. Avoid driving at high
speeds until the brakes func-
tion correctly.
• The brake pressure (%) dis-
played on the infotainment
screen may differ from the
actual brake pressure.

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.

NOTICE
To avoid costly brake repairs, do
not continue to drive with worn
brake pads.
Information
i
Always replace brake pads as com-
plete front or rear axle sets.

High performance brake

For vehicles equipped with the High
Performance Brake (applied with
material having high coefficient of
friction), noise such as a squeal,
squeak or groan is generated whilst
braking. This is normal and the fric-
tion may create circle patterns on the
disc surface. This is also a normal sit-
uation which does not affect braking
performance.
NOTICE
• Occasional brake noise is nor-
mal. If a continuous grinding or
continuous squeal sound is
present, the brake lining may be
worn-out. We recommend that
the vehicle be checked by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
• If the vehicle has continuous
vibration or shudder in the
steering wheel whilst braking,
we recommend that the vehicle
be checked by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
