Disc Brakes Wear Indicator; Electronic Parking Brake (Epb) - Hyundai SX2 Owner's Manual

Driving Your Vehicle
WARNING
Take the following precautions:
• Do not drive with your foot resting on
the brake pedal. This will create
abnormal high brake temperatures,
excessive brake lining and pad wear,
and increased stopping distances.
• When descending down a long or steep
hill, use the paddle shifter and manually
downshift to a lower gear in order to
control your speed without using the
brake pedal excessively. Applying the
brakes continuously will cause the
brakes to overheat and may result in a
temporary loss of braking performance.
• Wet brakes may impair the vehicle's
ability to safely slow down and the
vehicle may also pull to one side when
the brakes are applied. Applying the
brakes lightly indicates whether they
have been affected in this way. Always
test your brakes in this fashion after
driving through deep water. To dry the
brakes, lightly tap the brake pedal to
heat up the brakes whilst maintaining a
safe forward speed until brake
performance returns to normal. Avoid
driving at high speeds until the brakes
function correctly.
