to your cell phone or smart phone, the
signal from the smart key could be
blocked by normal operation of your
cell phone or smart phone. This is
especially important when the phone
is active such as making call, receiving
calls, text messaging, and/or send-
ing/receiving emails. Avoid placing
the smart key and your cell phone or
smart phone in the same pants or
jacket pocket and maintain adequate
distance between the two devices.

Driving your vehicle
Check the brake warning light by turning
the engine start/stop button ON (do not
start the engine). This light will be illumi-
nated when the parking brake is applied
with the engine start/stop button in the
START or ON position.
Before driving, be sure the parking brake
is fully released and the brake warning
light is off.
If the brake warning light remains on
after the parking brake is released while
the engine is running, there may be a
malfunction in the brake system.
Immediate attention is necessary.
If at all possible, cease driving the vehi-
cle immediately. If that is not possible,
use extreme caution while operating the
vehicle and only continue to drive the
vehicle until you can reach a safe loca-
tion.EPB malfunction indicator
This warning light illuminates if the
engine start/stop button is turned to the
ON position and goes off in approximate-
ly 3 seconds if the system is operation
normally.
If the EPB malfunction indicator remains
on, comes on while driving, or does not
come on when the engine start/stop but-
ton is turned to the ON position, this indi-
cates that the EPB may have malfunc-
tioned.
If this occurs, have your vehicle checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.
The EPB malfunction indicator may illu-
minate when the ESP indicator comes on
to indicate that the ESP is not working
properly, but it does not indicate a mal-
function of the EPB.

CAUTION
• A click sound may be heard while
operating or releasing the EPB.
These conditions are normal and
indicate that the EPB is function-
ing properly.
• When leaving your keys with a
parking lot attendant or valet,
make sure to inform him/her how
to operate the EPB.
