Hello,

If you drive with the parking brake engaged, it will damage the parking brake shoes.
This should not however will have any impact on the clutch. As the clutch is not operated by the parking brake lever.

I have attached the parking brake replacement procedures for an Accent, which uses a similar setup at the I10.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
