Check the brake warning light by turning
the ignition switch ON (do not start the
engine). This light will be illuminated when
the parking brake is applied with the igni-
tion switch 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
engine is running, there may be a mal-
function in the brake system. Immediate
attention is necessary.
If at all possible, cease driving the vehicle
immediately. If that is not possible, use
extreme caution while operating the vehi-
cle and only continue to drive the vehicle
until you can reach a safe location.
WARNING
To prevent unintentional move-
ment when stopped and leaving
the vehicle, do not use the shift
lever in place of the parking
brake. Set the parking brake and
make sure the shift lever is
securely positioned in P (Park).
Never allow anyone who is unfa-
miliar with the vehicle to touch
the parking brake. If the parking
brake is released unintentionally,
serious injury may occur.
All vehicles should always have
the parking brake fully engaged
when parking to avoid inadvertent
movement of the car which can
injure occupants or pedestrians.

ON, but should go off after approximate-
ly 3 seconds, if the system is operating
normally.If the EPB malfunction indicator remains
on, comes on while driving, or does not
come on when the ignition switch is

✽ ✽
NOTICE
• The AUTO HOLD does not operate
when;
- the driver’s door is open.
- the shift lever is in P (Park).• For your safety, the AUTO HOLD
automatically switches to EPB in such
cases as
- the hood is open with transmission
in D (Drive).
- the trunk lid is open with transmis-
sion in R (Reverse).
- the driver's seat belt is unbuckled
and the driver's door is open.
- AUTO HOLD is operating for a long
period of time.
- the vehicle is standing on a steep
slope.
In these cases, the brake warning light
comes on, the AUTO HOLD indicator
changes from green to white, and
warning sounds and a message will
appear to inform you that EPB has
been automatically engaged.
Before driving again, press the foot
brake pedal, check the surrounding
area near your vehicle and release the
parking brake manually with the EPB
switch.• When AUTO HOLD is ON and the
vehicle comes to a stop on a steep
slope (about 25% gradient or more),
the EPB will be automatically
engaged. In this case, when you
release EPB manually by pressing the
EPB switch with the foot brake pedal
pressed, AUTO HOLD will hold the
vehicle for 3 seconds in order to pre-
vent the vehicle from rolling back
during the launch.
• If the AUTO HOLD malfunction indi-
cator lights up yellow on the LCD
screen, the AUTO HOLD is not work-
ing properly. Take your vehicle to an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the system checked.
• While operating Auto Hold, you may
heard mechanical noise. However, it is
normal operating noise.

Good braking practices
After parking the vehicle, check to be
sure the parking brake is not engaged
and that the parking brake indicator
light is out before driving away.
Driving through water may get the
brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the car is washed. Wet brakes
can be dangerous! Your car will not
stop as quickly if the brakes are wet.
Wet brakes may cause the car to pull
to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns to
normal, taking care to keep the car
under control at all times. If the braking
action does not return to normal, stop
as soon as it is safe to do so and call
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.
Do not coast down hills with the car out
of gear. This is extremely hazardous.
Keep the car in gear at all times, use
the brakes to slow down, then shift to a
lower gear so that engine braking will
help you maintain a safe speed. Do not "ride" the brake pedal. Resting
your foot on the brake pedal while driv-
ing can be dangerous because it can
result in the brakes overheating and
losing their effectiveness. It also
increases the wear of the brake com-
ponents.
If a tire goes flat while you are driving,
apply the brakes gently and keep the
car pointed straight ahead while you
slow down. When you are moving
slowly enough for it to be safe to do so,
pull off the road and stop in a safe
place.
If your car is equipped with an auto-
matic transmission, do not let your car
creep forward. To avoid creeping for-
ward, keep your foot firmly on the
brake pedal when the car is stopped.
WARNING
Whenever leaving vehicle or
parking, always set the parking
brake as far as possible and fully
engage the vehicle's transmis-
sion into the park position.
Vehicles not fully engaged in park
with the parking brake set are at
risk for moving inadvertently and
injuring yourself or others.
All vehicles should always have
the parking brake fully engaged
when parking to avoid inadver-
tent movement of the car which
can injure occupants or pedestri-
ans.
535
Driving your vehicle
Be careful when parking on a hill.
Firmly engage the parking brake and
place the gear selector lever in P. If
your car is facing downhill, turn the
front wheels into the curb to help keep
the car from rolling. If your car is facing
uphill, turn the front wheels away from
the curb to help keep the car from
rolling. If there is no curb or if it is
required by other conditions to keep
the car from rolling, block the wheels.
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged posi-
tion. This is most likely to happen when
there is an accumulation of snow or ice
around or near the rear brakes or if the
brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the
parking brake may freeze, apply it only
temporarily while you put the gear
selector lever in P (automatic transmis-
sion) and block the rear wheels so the
car cannot roll. Then release the park-
ing brake.
Do not hold the vehicle on an incline
with the accelerator pedal. This can
cause the transmission to overheat.
Always use the brake pedal or parking
brake.
539
Driving your vehicle
Press the parking brake pedal or oper-
ate the EPB switch (if equipped). Do
not operate the parking brake while
driving except in an emergency situa-

Each of these actions will cancel cruise
control operation (the SET indicator light
in the instrument cluster will go off), but it
will not turn the system off. If you wish to
resume cruise control operation, push
the RES+ switch located on your steering
wheel. You will return to your previously
preset speed.
E090600ABH
To resume cruising speed at
more than approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h):
If any method other than the CRUISE
switch was used to cancel cruising speed
and the system is still activated, the most
recent set speed will automatically
resume when the RES+ switch is pushed.
It will not resume, however, if the vehicle
speed has dropped below approximately
25 mph (40 km/h).
✽ ✽
NOTICE
Always check the road conditions when
pressing the RES+ switch to resume the
speed.
E090700ABH
To turn cruise control off, do one
of the following:
Push the CRUISE button (the CRUISE
indicator light in the instrument cluster
will go off).

cruise control operation, repeat the steps
provided in “To set cruise control speed”
on the previous page.

ily, because the speed is not regulated
automatically at this time even if there is
a vehicle in front of you.
