To release:
Firmly depress the brake pedal.
Slightly pull up the parking brake
lever.
While pressing the release button
(1), lower the parking brake (2).
If the parking brake does not release
or does not release all the way, we
recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
WARNING
•
Whenever leaving the vehicle or
parking, always come to a com-
plete stop and continue to
depress the brake pedal. Move
the shift lever into the 1st gear
(for manual transaxle vehicle) or
P (Park, for automatic transaxle
vehicle) position, then apply the
parking brake, and place the
OIB054005
ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF
position.
Vehicles with the parking brake
not fully engaged are at risk for
moving inadvertently and caus-
ing injury to yourself or others.
•
NEVER allow anyone who is
unfamiliar with the vehicle to
touch the parking brake. If the
parking brake is released unin-
tentionally, serious injury may
occur.
•
Only release the parking brake
when you are seated inside the
vehicle with your foot firmly on
the brake pedal.
NOTICE
• • Do not apply the accelerator pedal
while the parking brake
engaged. If you depress the accel-
erator pedal with the parking brake
engaged, warning will sound.
Damage to the parking brake may
occur.
• Driving with the parking brake on
can overheat the braking system
and cause premature wear or
damage to brake parts. Make sure
the parking brake is released and
the Brake Warning Light is off
before driving.
