Driving your vehicle
In these cases, the brake warning light
comes on, the AUTO HOLD indicator
changes from green to white, and
warning sounds and a message will
appear to inform you that EPB has
been automatically engaged.
Before driving again, press the foot
brake pedal, check the surrounding
area near your vehicle and release the
parking brake manually with the EPB
switch.
• When AUTO HOLD is ON and the
vehicle comes to a stop on a steep
slope (about 25% gradient or more),
the EPB will be automatically
engaged. In this case, when you
release EPB manually by pulling the
EPB switch with the foot brake pedal
pressed, AUTO HOLD will hold the
vehicle for 3 seconds in order to pre-
vent the vehicle from rolling back
during the launch.
• If the AUTO HOLD malfunction indi-
cator lights up yellow on the LCD
screen, the AUTO HOLD is not work-
ing properly. Take your vehicle to an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the system checked.
