To release EPB (Electronic Parking Brake)
automatically:
Gear in P (Park) or in N (Neutral)
With the engine running, depress the
brake pedal and shift out of P (Park) or N
(Neutral) to R (Reverse) or D (Drive). Make
sure the doors, hood, and tailgate are
closed and the seat belt is fastened.
Information
• You can engage EPB even though the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the OFF
position (only if battery power is
available), but you cannot release it.
• Depress the brake pedal and release
the parking brake manually with the
EPB switch before you drive downhill or
when backing up.
NOTICE
• If the Parking Brake warning light is still
on even though the EPB has been
released, we recommend that the
system be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• Do not drive your vehicle with EPB
applied. It may cause excessive brake
pad and brake rotor wear.
Warning messages
To release EPB, fasten seat belt and close
door, hood and tailgate

If the driver's seat belt is unfastened, or
the hood, tailgate, doors are open, and
you try to drive with EPB applied, a
warning sounds and a message appears.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death from
unintended vehicle movement:
• Always come to a complete stop and
continue to depress the brake pedal
before parking, shift the gear into P
(Park), pull up the EPB switch, and
move the Engine Start/Stop button to
the OFF position. Take the key with you
when leaving the vehicle.
• Never allow anyone who is unfamiliar
with the vehicle to touch the EPB
switch.

inside the vehicle with your foot firmly
on the brake pedal.
