Driving your vehicle
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 trunk
are closed and the seat belt is fastened.
Information
• You can engage EPB even though the
ignition switch is in the LOCK/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, have the system inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Do not drive your vehicle with EPB
applied. It may cause excessive brake
pad and brake rotor wear.
