Parking Brake Warning Light

Hyundai Palisade. Parking brake warning light

Check the parking brake warning lamp by turning the ignition switch to the ON position (do not start the engine).

This indicator illuminates when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the START or ON position.

Before driving, make sure the parking brake is released and the brake warning light is off.

If the parking brake warning light remains on after the parking brake is released with the engine running, there may be a malfunction in the brake system. Immediate attention is required.

If possible, stop driving the vehicle immediately. If this is not possible, use extreme caution while driving and continue only until you can reach a safe location.
