EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) may be
automatically applied when:
• Requested by other systems
• The driver turns the vehicle off whilst
Auto Hold is operating.
Emergency braking
If there is a problem with the brake pedal
whilst driving, emergency braking is
possible by pulling up and holding the
EPB switch. Braking is possible only whilst
you are holding the EPB switch. However,
braking distance may be longer than
normal.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death, do not operate the EPB whilst the
vehicle is moving except in an emergency
situation. It may damage the brake
system and cause a collision.
Information
During emergency braking, the Parking
Brake warning light illuminates and you
may hear a clicking noise.
NOTICE
If you notice a noise or burning smell
when the EPB is used for emergency
braking, we recommend that your vehicle
be inspected by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
