Parking brake warning light
This warning light illuminates:
• When you set the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button to the
ON position.
-The parking brake & brake fluid
warning light illuminates for about 3
seconds and will then turn off once
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 your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check the
brake fluid level immediately and add
fluid as required (For more details,
refer to “Brake Fluid” section in
chapter 9). After adding brake fluid,
check all brake components for fluid
leaks. If a brake fluid leak is found, or
if the warning light remains on, or if
the brakes do not operate properly, do
not drive the vehicle. We recommend
that you have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal braking system. This means you
still have braking on two wheels even if
one of the dual systems should fail.
With only one of the dual systems
working, more than normal pedal travel
and greater pedal pressure is required to
stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as short
a distance with only a portion of the
brake system working.
If you experience a malfunction with
the brake system while driving, attempt
to slow your vehicle by coasting or
by using engine braking. You may be
able to reduce your vehicle speed by
manually downshifting to a lower gear.
Use Manual Shift Mode using either the
gear shift lever or the paddle shifters (if
equipped) to shift to a lower gear.
WARNING
Parking Brake & Brake Fluid warning
light
Driving the vehicle with a warning light
ON is dangerous. If the Parking Brake
warning light illuminates with the
parking brake released, it indicates that
the brake fluid level is low.
If this occurs, we recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

(EPB) warning light
This warning light illuminates:
• When you set the ignition switch or

• Whenever there is a malfunction with
EPB.
If the EPB warning light remains
illuminated while driving, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB)
warning light may illuminate when
the Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
indicator light comes on to indicate that
ESC is not working properly. This does
not indicate malfunction of EPB.
AUTO HOLD indicator light
This indicator light illuminates:
• [White] When you activate Auto Hold
by pressing the AUTO HOLD switch.
• [Green] When you stop the vehicle
completely by depressing the brake
pedal with Auto Hold activated.
• [Yellow] Whenever there is a
malfunction with the Auto Hold
function.
If the AUTO HOLD indicator light
remains YELLOW while driving, have
the vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

light
This warning light illuminates:
• When you set the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button to the
ON position.
- The low tire pressure warning light
illuminates for approximately 3
seconds and then goes off.
• When one or more of your tires are
significantly underinflated. (The
location of the underinflated tires are
displayed on the LCD display.)
For more details, refer to “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” section in
chapter 8.
This warning light remains ON after
blinking for approximately 60 seconds, or
repeatedly blinks ON and OFF in 3 second
intervals:
When there is a malfunction with the
TPMS.
If this occurs, we recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.
For more details, refer to “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” section in
chapter 8.
WARNING
Safe Stopping
• The TPMS cannot alert you to severe
and sudden tire damage caused by
external factors.
• If you notice any vehicle instability,
immediately take your foot off the
accelerator pedal, apply the brakes
gradually with light force, and slowly
move to a safe position off the road.

Closing the fuel filler door
1. To install the fuel tank cap, turn it
clockwise until it “clicks” one time.
2. Close the fuel filler door until it is
latched securely.
Information
To lock the fuel filler door, make sure the
fuel filler door is completely closed. Press
the LOCK button on the remote key or
smart key to lock your vehicle. The fuel
filler door will also lock.
Note that if the fuel filler door is not
completely closed when the vehicle is
locked, the fuel filler door will not be
locked.
CAUTION
Make sure the fuel filler door is
completely closed before driving
through a car wash or operating a high
pressure spray washer.
WARNING
Automotive fuel is highly flammable
and explosive. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
• Read and follow all warnings posted
at the gas station.
• Before refueling, note the location
of the Emergency Fuel Shut-Off, if
available, at the gas station.
• Before touching the fuel nozzle, you
should eliminate the potential build-
up of static electricity by touching
a metal part of the vehicle, a safe
distance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas source,
with your bare hand.
• Do not use mobile phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellular
phones can potentially ignite fuel
vapors and cause a fire. •
Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refueling.
You can generate a buildup of
static electricity by touching,
rubbing or sliding against any item
or fabric capable of producing
static electricity. Static electricity
discharge can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. If you must re-enter
the vehicle, you should once again
eliminate potentially dangerous
static electricity discharge by
touching a metal part of the vehicle,
away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle
or other fuel source, with your bare
hand.
• When using an approved portable
fuel container, be sure to place the
container on the ground prior to
refueling. Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire.
Once refueling has begun, contact
between your bare hand and the
vehicle should be maintained until
the filling is complete.
• Use only approved portable plastic
fuel containers designed to carry and
store fuel.
• When refueling, always shift the
gear to the P (Park) position, set
the parking brake, and press the
Engine Start/Stop button to the
OFF position. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to the
engine can ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire.
• Do not use matches or a lighter and
do not smoke or leave a lit cigarette
in your vehicle while at a gas station,
especially during refueling.

are not able to replace the fuse, you
can start the engine by pressing and
holding the Engine Start/Stop button
for 10 seconds with the Engine Start/
Stop button in the ACC position.
For your safety always depress the
brake pedal before starting the vehicle.
