pad and brake rotor wear.
EPB malfunction
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) warning
light illuminates if the ignition switch is
in the ON position and goes off in about
3 seconds if the system is operating
normally.
If the EPB warning light remains on,
comes on while driving, or does not
come on when the ignition switch is ON,
the EPB may have malfunctioned.
If this occurs, have the system inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
The EPB warning light may illuminate
when the ESC indicator comes on to
indicate that ESC is not working properly,
but it does not indicate a malfunction of
EPB.
NOTICE
ś
If the Parking Brake warning light does
not illuminate or blinks after the EPB
switch has been pulled, the EPB may
not be applied.
ś
If the EPB warning light is still on or
the Parking Brake warning light blinks
when the EPB warning light is on,
press the switch, and then pull it up.
Repeat this one more time. If the EPB
warning does not go off, have your
vehicle towed on a flatbed tow truck
to an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
