Hyundai Brake Maintenance: Ensuring Safety on the Road

The Hyundai maintenance schedule in your vehicle handbook lists all the services that will ensure your vehicle is always in good condition and performs at its best. As your Hyundai dealer, we would like to give you some examples of the services we provide. Tire Rotations Tire rotations help extend tire life by allowing them to wear down at a relatively even rate. Tires experience damage as you drive due to friction with the surface, but they suffer additional damage due to their position on your vehicle. Each tire position generates a particular wear pattern based on weight distribution and tire alignment, and continued damage to the same sections of a tire will cause leaks or a blowout. Our technicians rotate your tires by moving them to different places on your Hyundai. The exact positions the tires move to depend on your drivetrain. If your Hyundai has FWD, the front tires move to the rear and remain on the same side, while the rear tires move to the front but change to opposite sides. A tire rotation is usually performed every 7,500 miles and can extend a tire's useful life by up to 40%. more Oil and Filter Change Oil continuously circulates through your engine to keep it working efficiently. Many engine components depend on friction to work effectively, and the oil lubricates these components to reduce damage. The oil cools hot components as it moves over them, which further reduces wear and tear. In addition, oil additives provide essential benefits, like preventing rust and breaking down potentially damaging carbon buildup. The oil filter collects dirt and other debris that are collected by the oil, improving fuel economy and further reducing wear and tear on the engine. As time passes, the oil will become slower and thicker, which makes it less effective. An oil change is usually due after 7,500 miles, during which we drain and replace the old oil and install a new oil filter. Brake Pad Inspection Brake pads are an important part of the braking system, as they generate friction against the wheel rotors, which stops the wheels. Each pad has a 1/2" thick rough material covering that produces the friction, but this material slowly wears thinner over time. Thin pads take longer to generate friction, which slows braking response and increases your braking distance. During an inspection, we measure the thickness of each pad and replace any that have dropped to 1/4" thickness. We also examine the calipers, which contain the pads, to ensure they're working correctly, and we check the condition of the rotors. These inspections are usually performed around 45,000 miles.

While out on the road in your Hyundai, you never know when a collision threat might suddenly arise. Fortunately, Hyundai SmartSense features are always watching for hazards to keep you safe. Here's how this award-winning safety suite keeps you and your passengers from harm. Forward-Collision Avoidance Collision threats often appear from the front. Forward-collision assist with pedestrian detection monitors the road ahead for hazards. If another vehicle swerves in front of you or slows abruptly in a dangerous way, your car will warn you both visually and audibly. If you're slow to respond, the emergency brakes can apply to avoid or reduce the impact. This system detects pedestrians as well. more Blind Spot Collision Avoidance To the rear and either side, our blind spots might contain other vehicles without the driver's knowledge. Blind spot collision avoidance keeps you aware of what's in your blind spots and warns you if you begin to change lanes with an unseen vehicle obstructing the maneuver. If necessary, the front brakes on the left or right will activate to prevent the dangerous lane change. Lane Following Assist It's dangerous to weave even a little in your lane, which might happen in a fatigued moment. When active, lane-following assist watches the lane markers and keeps you centered by providing occasional gentle adjustments to the steering. Lane Keeping Assist The previous feature pairs nicely with lane-keeping assist, which warns you if you drift too near to the neighboring lane; you'll see and hear an alert. If you don't immediately take corrective action, your Hyundai will apply steering pressure to get you back into a safely centered position. Driver Attention Warning Nighttime driving, long journeys, and driving when sleep-deprived all increase the risk of a drowsiness or distraction. This clear danger is mitigated with the driver attention warning feature, which detects the patterns of inattentive or drowsy driving and provides a clear alert and on-screen message to encourage you to take a break from driving. Forward Attention Warning This sophisticated feature uses a driver facing camera in the steering wheel to watch the driver's eyes. By reading changes in your eye positions, it can tell if you're getting drowsy or distracted and warn you. You thereby have an extra layer of defense against drowsiness, although nothing beats coffee and good rest before driving.
