Hyundai Palisade. Releasing the parking brake

To release the EPB (Electronic Parking Brake):

  • Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
  • Press and hold the brake pedal.
  • Press the EPB switch.

Make sure the parking brake warning light turns off.

Information

  • For your safety, you can use the EPB even when the ignition switch is in the OFF position, but you cannot release it.
  • For safety, depress the brake pedal and release the parking brake manually using the EPB switch when driving downhill or reversing uphill.

NOTICE

  • If the parking brake warning light remains on even though the EPB has been released, have the system inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
  • Do not drive the vehicle with the EPB applied. This may cause excessive brake pad and brake rotor wear.

The EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) may apply automatically when:

  • Requested by other systems
  • The driver turns off the engine while the Auto Hold function is operating.
