brakes to overheat and could result in a
temporary loss of braking performance.
• Wet brakes may impair the vehicle's
ability to safely decelerate. Because
wet brakes increase braking distance
and cause noise troubles, select 0 step
of the regenerative braking system and
depress the brake pedal around 10
times, with keeping the safe distance
from other vehicles, lightly in order to
dry the braking system. Such
procedure may decrease the driving
distance by restraining the
regenerative braking system, which is
not a system malfunction. Inspect the
braking system after car wash or
driving over wet road conditions.
• Do not continue depressing the brake
pedal if the vehicle is off ( indicator
off). The battery may be discharged.
• Noise and vibration generated during
braking is normal.
• Under normal operation, electric brake
pump noise and motor vibration may
occur temporarily in below cases.
- When the pedal is depressed
suddenly.
- When the pedal is repeatedly
depressed in short intervals.
- When the ABS function is activated
while braking.
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.
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not
continue to drive with worn brake pads.
Information
Always replace brake pads as complete front
or rear axle sets.
WARNING
Frequent braking may deform
components and worn the disc brake
causing vibration when braking. Observe
the speed limit to prevent brake damage
from excessive braking.
Brake wear, noise, vibration from
excessive braking or deformation of the
brakes caused by repeatedly braking in
high speed, racing on tracks, etc. can be
excluded from warranty coverage.
