Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
• When you place the ignition switch to the ON position.

-

The parking brake light illuminates
for about 3 seconds and will then
turn off once the parking brake is
released.
• Whenever the parking brake is applied.

tion and stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check the brake fluid level immediately
and add fluid as required (For more
information, refer to "Brake Fluid" in
chapter 8). After adding brake fluid,
check all brake components for fluid
leaks. If a brake fluid leak is found, or

the brakes do not operate properly, do
not drive the vehicle. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer. Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-

working, more than normal pedal travel
and greater pedal pressure is required to
stop the vehicle.
If the brakes fail while you are driving,
shift to a lower gear for additional engine
braking and stop the vehicle as soon as it
is safe to do so.
