NOTICE

• If the parking brake indicator remains on even when the EPB is released, we recommend having the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Do not drive the vehicle while the EPB is applied. This may cause premature wear of the brake pads and discs.

We recommend that you contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer to have your vehicle transported on a flatbed truck to inspect the system.

The EPB may be applied automatically under the following conditions:
