tion switch in the START or ON posi-
tion.

If the Parking Brake Warning Light
remains on after the parking brake is
released whilst engine is running,
there may be a malfunction in the
brake system. Immediate attention is
necessary.

vehicle immediately. If that is not pos-
sible, use extreme caution whilst

EPB malfunction indicator
(if equipped)
If the EPB malfunction indicator
remains on, comes on whilst driving,
or does not come on when the
Engine Start/Stop button is changed
to the ON position, this indicates that
the EPB may have malfunctioned.
If this occurs, we recommend that
the system be checked by an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer.
The EPB malfunction indicator may
illuminate when the ESC indicator
comes on to indicate that the ESC is
not working properly, but it does not
indicate a malfunction of the EPB. If the EPB warning light is still
on, we recommend that the sys-
tem be checked by an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer.
If the parking brake warning
light does not illuminate or
blinks even though the EPB
switch was pulled up, the EPB
may not be applied.
If the parking brake warning
light blinks when the EPB warn-
ing light is on, press the switch,
and then pull it up. Repeat this
one more time. If the EPB warn-
ing does not go off, we recom-
mend that the system be
checked by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.

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.

ing brake warning light will illumi-
nate to indicate that the system is

WARNING

5-58
Driving your vehicle
When you drive on a road having
poor traction, such as an icy road,
and apply your brakes continu-
ously, the ABS will be active con-
tinuously and the ABS warning
light ( ) may illuminate. Pull
your car over to a safe place and
turn the engine off.
Restart the engine. If the ABS
warning light is off, then your ABS
system is normal.
Otherwise, you may have a prob-
lem with your ABS system. We
recommend that you contact an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.
Information
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the ABS
warning light ( ) may turn on at the
same time. This happens because of
the low battery voltage. It does not
mean your ABS is malfunctioning.
Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC)
The Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system helps to stabilise the
vehicle during cornering manoeu-
vres.
ESC checks where you are steering
and where the vehicle is actually
going. ESC applies braking pressure
to any one of the vehicle’s brakes
and intervenes in the engine man-
agement system to assist the driver
with keeping the vehicle on the
intended path. It is not a substitute
for safe driving practices. Always
adjust your speed and driving
according to the road conditions.
i
NOTICE
If the ABS warning light ( ) is
on and stays on, you may have
a problem with the ABS. Your
power brakes will work normal-
ly. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, we recommend
that you contact your HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.
