Warning: Do not place any items on the shelf behind the rear seat. In the event of an accident or sudden braking, they can move forward and damage the vehicle or cause injury.
When leaving a parking space, make sure that the parking brake is released and the parking brake indicator light is off.
When driving on a road covered with water or after washing your car, water may get into the brakes. Wet brakes are dangerous! Wet brakes increase the braking distance of the vehicle and can also cause the vehicle to skid. Dry the brakes by applying gentle pressure to the pedal until normal action is restored, while maintaining constant control of the vehicle. If normal brake operation is not restored, stop the vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible and contact your Hyundai dealer for assistance.
Do not drive downhill in neutral. This is extremely dangerous. Keep one of the gears engaged at all times. To reduce speed, slow down the vehicle and shift into a lower gear to use engine braking to maintain a safe speed.
When driving downhill, do not maintain the desired speed by constantly braking. Continuously pressing the pedal is dangerous because it can cause the brakes to overheat and become ineffective. In addition, this leads to accelerated wear of the brake system parts.
If you get a flat tire while driving, brake the car smoothly, trying to keep it on a straight line. After slowing down enough to safely get off the road, pull over to the side of the road and stop in a safe place.
If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, make sure that the vehicle does not move forward slowly on its own. To do this, keep your foot on the brake pedal after stopping.

Take precautions when parking on a slope. Apply the parking brake and move the selector lever to the "P" position (in a car with an automatic transmission) or engage 1st gear or reverse gear (in a car with a manual transmission). If the vehicle is parked in a downward direction on a slope, turn the wheels toward the curb to prevent the vehicle from rolling. For the same purpose, when parking on a hill, turn the wheels away from the curb. If there is no curb or if other conditions require it, place chocks under the wheels.
Under certain conditions, freezing of the brakes may occur when the parking brake is applied. This most often occurs when ice or snow accumulates around or near the rear brakes, or when the brakes are wet. If there is a risk of the brakes freezing, apply the parking brake only briefly when the selector lever is in position "P" (in a car with an automatic transmission) or when engaging 1st gear or reverse gear (in a car with a manual transmission) and to hold the car more securely, place chocks under the wheels, then release the parking brake.
Do not hold the vehicle stationary on an incline using the accelerator pedal. This may cause the gearbox to overheat. Always use the brake pedal or parking brake to do this.
