Parking Brake & Brake Fluid Warning Light - Hyundai Sonata 2016 Owner's Manual

Parking Brake & Brake
Fluid Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
• When the Engine Start/Stop button
is in the ON position
- It illuminates for approximately 3
seconds and then goes off.
- It remains on if the parking brake
is applied.
• When the parking brake is applied.
• When the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low.
- If the warning light illuminates
with the parking brake released, it
indicates the brake fluid level in
reservoir is low.
• When the regenerative brake does
not operate.
• When only one of the dual system
is working, the stopping distance
will be increased
If the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir is low:
(red color) 1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe
location and stop your vehicle.
2. Stop the vehicle, immediately
check the brake fluid level and add
fluid, if necessary (For more infor-
mation, refer to "Brake Fluid" in
the chapter 7). Then check all
brake components for fluid leaks.
When any leak in the brake system
is still detected, when the warning
light remains ON, or when the
brakes do not properly operate, do
not drive the vehicle.
In this case, have the vehicle
towed to an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer and inspected.
Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal braking systems. This means
you still have braking on two wheels
even if one of the dual systems fails.
With only one of the dual systems
working, longer pedal travel and
greater pedal pressure is required.
If the brakes fail , while driving, shift
to a lower gear for additional engine
braking and stop the vehicle as soon
as it is safe to do so.
WARNING
Driving the vehicle with a warn-
ing light ON is dangerous. If the
Parking Brake & Brake Fluid
Warning Light illuminates with
the parking brake released, it
indicates that the brake fluid
level is low.
In this case, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
