EPB malfunction
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) warning
light illuminates if the Engine Start/Stop
button 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 Engine Start/Stop button is
ON, the EPB may have malfunctioned.
If this occurs, have your vehicle 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.
Information
• If the Parking Brake warning light does
not illuminate or blinks after the EPB
switch has been pulled, the EPB may
not be applied.
• 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
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
