Emergency Braking

~1min read

If there is a problem with the brake pedal while driving, emergency braking can be applied by pulling up and holding the EPB switch. Braking is only possible while you hold the EPB switch. However, the braking distance will be longer than normal.

WARNING

Do not operate the parking brake while the vehicle is moving except in an emergency. This may damage the brake system and cause a serious accident.

Information

During emergency braking, the parking brake indicator light comes on to indicate that the system is operating.

NOTICE

If you constantly notice a noise or burning smell when the EPB is used for emergency braking, have the system inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

When the EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) does not release

If the EPB does not operate normally, we recommend that you contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer and have the vehicle transported by a flatbed tow truck to inspect the system.
