Parking brake warning light
Check the Parking Brake
Warning Light by setting the
ignition switch to the ON
position ( indicator off).
This light will be illuminated when the
parking brake is applied with the ignition
switch in the START or ON position.
Before driving, be sure the parking brake
is released and the Brake Warning Light
is OFF.
If the Parking Brake Warning Light
remains on after the parking brake is
released while the vehicle is in the ready
( ) mode, there may be a malfunction
in the brake system. Immediate attention
is necessary.
If at all possible, cease driving the vehicle
immediately. If that is not possible,
use extreme caution while operating
the vehicle and only continue to drive
the vehicle until you can reach a safe
location.
Emergency braking
If there is a problem with the brake
pedal while driving, emergency braking
is possible by pulling up and holding
the EPB switch. Braking is possible only
while you are holding the EPB switch.
However, braking distance will be longer
than normal.
WARNING
Do not operate the parking brake while
the vehicle is moving except in an
emergency situation. It could damage
the brake system and lead to a severe
accident.
Information
During emergency braking, the parking
brake warning light will illuminate to
indicate that the system is operating.
NOTICE
If you continuously notice a noise or
burning smell when the EPB is used for
emergency braking, we recommend
that you have the system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
When the EPB (Electronic Parking Brake)
does not release
If the EPB does not release normally,
we recommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer by loading
the vehicle on a flatbed tow truck and
have the system checked.
