Parking Brake Warning Light

This indicator light illuminates:

• When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the parking brake warning light illuminates for approximately 3 seconds and then turns off after the parking brake is released.
• Whenever the parking brake is applied.
• Whenever the brake fluid level in the reservoir is low.
  - If the warning light illuminates with the parking brake released, it indicates the brake fluid level in the reservoir is low.

If the brake fluid level in the reservoir is low:

1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe location and stop the vehicle.

2. With the engine off, check the brake fluid level immediately and add fluid as necessary (for more information, refer to "Brake Fluid" in Chapter 9). After adding brake fluid, check all brake components for fluid leaks. If a brake fluid leak is detected, if the warning light remains on, or if the brakes do not function properly, do not drive the vehicle. Have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Dual Diagonal Brake System

Your vehicle is equipped with a dual diagonal brake system. This means that you still have braking on two wheels even if one of the dual systems fails.

With only one of the dual systems working, more pedal travel than normal is required, and more force on the pedal is needed to stop the vehicle.

In addition, the vehicle will not stop within a short distance if only part of the brake system is working.

If you experience a malfunction in the brake system while driving, try to slow the vehicle by coasting or by using engine braking. You may be able to reduce vehicle speed manually by shifting to a lower gear. Use manual shift mode by using the shift lever (if equipped) or the paddle shifters (if equipped) to shift to a lower gear.

WARNING

If the parking brake warning light remains on when the parking brake is released, this indicates that the brake fluid level is low. Have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
