Hyundai KONA N 2022 Owner's Manual page 246

To release:
Firmly depress the brake pedal.
While pressing the release button (1),
slightly pull up on the parking brake lever
then lower the parking brake lever (2).
If the parking brake does not release
or does not release all the way, have
your vehicle checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
Whenever leaving the vehicle or
parking, always come to a complete
stop and continue to depress the
brake pedal. Move the shift lever
into P (Park) position, then apply
the parking brake, and set the
Engine Start/Stop button in the OFF
position.
Vehicles with the parking brake not
fully engaged are at risk for moving
inadvertently and causing injury to
yourself or others.
When parking on an incline, block
the wheels to prevent the vehicle
from rolling down.
NEVER allow anyone who is
unfamiliar with the vehicle to touch
the parking brake. If the parking
brake is released unintentionally,
serious injury may occur.
Only release the parking brake when
you are seated inside the vehicle
with your foot firmly on the brake
pedal.
NOTICE
Do not apply the accelerator pedal
while the parking brake is engaged.
If you depress the accelerator pedal
with the parking brake engaged,
warning will sound. Damage to the
parking brake may occur.
Driving with the parking brake on
can overheat the braking system and
cause premature wear or damage to
brake parts. Make sure the parking
OOSN061004L
brake is released and the Brake
Warning Light is off before driving.
This light will be illuminated when the
parking brake is applied with the Engine
Start/Stop button 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 engine is running,
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.
Check the Parking Brake
Warning Light by setting the
Engine Start/Stop button to
the ON position (do not start
the engine).
