If the parking brake does not release or
does not release all the way, have the
system checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
• To prevent unintentional move-
ment when stopped and leaving
the vehicle, do not use the
gearshift lever in place of the
parking brake. Set the parking
brake
AND
make
sure
gearshift lever is securely posi-
tioned in P (Park) for automatic
transaxle equipped vehicles.
• Never allow anyone who is unfa-
miliar with the vehicle to touch
the parking brake. If the parking
brake is released unintentionally,
serious injury may occur.
• All vehicles should always have
the parking brake fully engaged
when parking to avoid inadver-
tent movement of the vehicle
which can injure occupants or
pedestrians.
the
Check the brake warning light by turning
the engine start/stop button ON (do not
start the engine). This light will be illumi-
nated when the parking brake is applied
with the engine start/stop button in the
START or ON position.
Also, the brake warning light may illumi-
nate for a second even though the park-
ing brake is released at the moment the
engine start/stop button is turned to the
ON position.
Before driving, be sure the parking brake
is fully released and the brake warning
light is off.
If the brake warning light remains on after
the parking brake is released while the
hybrid system is in READY state, there
may be a malfunction in the brake sys-
tem. Immediate attention is necessary.
Driving your vehicle
If at all possible, cease driving the vehicle
immediately. If that is not possible, use
extreme caution while operating the vehi-
cle and only continue to drive the vehicle
until you can reach a safe location or
repair shop.
WARNING
• It is normal for the brake warning
light to illuminate temporarily
when the brake is depressed
repeatedly and go out after a few
W-75
seconds when the brake is not
depressed. But the braking dis-
tance might be longer when the
brake pedal is depressed while
the brake warning light is on.
• Have your system checked if the
brake warning light is on. It may
lead to an accident.
