Parking Brake & Brake
Fluid Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
When the POWER button is in the
ON position.
- It illuminates for approximately 3
seconds.
- It remains on if the parking brake
is applied.
When the parking brake is applied.
When the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low.
- If the warning light remains illumi-
nated when the parking brake is
released, check under the hood
to see if the fluid level in the brake
fluid reservoir is low.
If the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir is low:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe
location and stop your vehicle.
2. With the vehicle turned off, check
the brake fluid level immediately
and add fluid as required (For more
details, refer to "Brake Fluid" in
chapter 7). 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 proper-
ly, do not drive the vehicle. Have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal braking systems. This
means you still have braking on two
wheels even if one of the dual sys-
tems 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.
Parking Brake & Brake Fluid
Warning Light
Driving the vehicle with a warn-
ing light ON is dangerous. If the
Parking Brake & Brake Fluid
Warning Light illuminates with
the parking brake released, it
indicates that the brake fluid
level is low.
If this occurs, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
