Anti-Lock Brake System (Abs) - Hyundai 2009 Elantra Owner's Manual

Check the brake warning light by turning
the ignition switch ON (do not start the
engine). This light will be illuminated
when the parking brake is applied with
the ignition switch in the START or ON

after the parking brake is released, there

If at all possible, cease driving the vehi-
cle immediately. If that is not possible,

vehicle and only continue to drive the
vehicle until you can reach a safe loca-
tion or repair shop.
