Emergency braking
If there is a problem with the brake pedal whilst driving, emergency braking is possible by pulling up and holding the EPB switch. Braking is possible only whilst you are holding the EPB switch. However, braking distance may be longer than normal.
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, do not operate the EPB whilst the vehicle is moving except in an emergency situation. It may damage the brake system and cause a collision.
During emergency braking, the Parking Brake warning light illuminates and you may hear a clicking noise.
If you notice a noise or burning smell when the EPB is used for emergency braking, we recommend that your vehicle be inspected by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
To release EPB (Electronic Parking Brake):

To release EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) automatically:
-
Vehicle in P (Park) or in N (Neutral)
With the engine running, press the brake pedal and shift out of P (Park) or N (Neutral) to R (Reverse) or D (Drive). Make sure the doors, bonnet, and tailgate are closed and the seat belt is fastened.

For your safety, you can engage EPB even though the Engine Start/Stop button is in the OFF position (only if battery power is available), but you cannot release it.
-
Press the brake pedal and release the parking brake manually with the EPB switch before you drive downhill or when reversing.
-
If the Parking Brake warning light is still on even though the EPB has been released, we recommend that your vehicle be inspected by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
-
Do not drive your vehicle with EPB applied. It may cause excessive brake pad and brake rotor wear.
To release EPB, fasten seatbelt, and close door, bonnet and tailgate
2C_EPBEnableToReleaseInfo
If the driver's seat belt is unfastened, or the bonnet, tailgate, doors are open, and you try to drive with EPB applied, a warning sounds and a message appears.
Always come to a complete stop and continue to press the brake pedal before parking, shift the gear into P (Park), pull up the EPB switch, and press the Engine Start/Stop button to the OFF position. Take the key with you when leaving the vehicle.
Never allow anyone who is unfamiliar with the vehicle to touch the EPB switch.
Only release EPB when you are seated inside the vehicle with your foot firmly on the brake pedal.
Driving with the parking brake on may overheat the braking system and cause premature wear or damage to brake parts.
-
A clicking sound may be heard whilst operating or releasing the EPB. These conditions are normal and indicate that EPB is functioning properly.
-
When leaving your keys with a parking attendant or assistant, make sure to inform them how to operate EPB.
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) warning light illuminates if the Engine Start/Stop button is pressed to the ON position and goes off in about 3 seconds if the system is operating normally.
If the EPB warning light remains on, comes on whilst driving, or does not come on when the Engine Start/Stop button is pressed to the ON position, the EPB may have malfunctioned.
If this occurs, we recommend that your vehicle be inspected by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
The EPB warning light may illuminate when the ESC indicator comes on to indicate that ESC is not working properly, but it does not indicate a malfunction of EPB.
-
If the Parking Brake warning light does not illuminate or blinks after the EPB switch has been pulled, the EPB may not be applied.
-
If the EPB warning light is still on or the Parking Brake warning light blinks when the EPB warning light is on, press the switch, and then pull it up. Repeat this one more time. If the EPB warning does not go off, we recommend that your vehicle be inspected by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
WL_BreakWarningLamp_2
This light illuminates when the Parking Brake is applied with the Engine Stop/Start button in the START or ON position.
Before driving, make sure the Parking Brake is released and the Parking Brake warning light is OFF.
If the Parking Brake warning light remains on after the Parking Brake is released whilst the engine is running, there may be a malfunction in the brake system.
If possible, stop driving the vehicle immediately. If that is not possible, use extreme caution whilst operating the vehicle and only continue to drive the vehicle until you can reach a safe location.
If the EPB does not release normally, we recommend that you contact an authorised HYUNDAI dealer by loading the vehicle on a flatbed tow truck and have the system checked.
