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.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
warning light
This warning light illuminates:
• When you set the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button to the
ON position.
-The ABS warning light illuminates
for about 3 seconds and then goes
off.
• Whenever there is a malfunction with
the ABS.
Note that the hydraulic braking
system will still be operational even if
there is a malfunction with the ABS.
If the ABS warning light remains
illuminated while driving, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Electronic Brake Force
Distribution (EBD) system
warning light
When the ABS warning and Parking Brake warning lights are on
simultaneously, it may indicate a
problem with the Electronic Brake Force
Distribution system.
If both the ABS warning light and the
Parking Brake warning light remain
illuminated while driving, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
Electronic Brake Force Distribution
(EBD) system warning light
When both ABS and Parking Brake
warning lights are on, the brake
system will not work normally and you
may experience an unexpected and
dangerous situation during sudden
braking.
If this occurs, avoid high speed driving
and abrupt braking.
We recommend that you have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
NOTICE
Electronic Brake Force Distribution
(EBD) system warning light
When the ABS warning light is on or
both ABS and Parking Brake warning
lights are on, the speedometer,
odometer, or tripmeter may not
work. Also, the EPS warning light may
illuminate and the steering effort may
increase or decrease.
If both the ABS warning light and the
Parking Brake warning light remain
illuminated while driving, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Electronic Parking Brake
(EPB) warning light
This warning light illuminates:
• When you set the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button to the
ON position.
-The EPB warning light illuminates
for about 3 seconds and then goes
off.
• 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.
For more details, refer to “Electronic
Parking Brake (EPB)” section in chapter
6.
Low tire pressure warning
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.

When Downhill Brake Control system is
operating.
This indicator light illuminates yellow:
Whenever there is a malfunction with
Downhill Brake Control system.
If this occurs, we recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
For more details, refer to "Downhill
Brake Control (DBC)“ section in chapter
6.
IDLE STOP & GO (ISG)
indicator light
This indicator light illuminates:
When the engine enters the Idle Stop
mode of ISG (Idle Stop and Go) system.
When the engine automatically starts,
the IDLE STOP & GO (ISG) indicator on
the cluster Illuminates to white.

and Go) system" section in chapter 6.
Information
When the engine automatically starts
by the ISG system, some warning lights
(ABS, ESC, ESC OFF, EPS or Parking
brake warning light) may turn on for a
few seconds. This happens because of
low battery voltage. It does not mean the
system has malfunctioned.
