However, braking distance will be longer
than normal.

the vehicle is moving except in an
emergency situation. It could damage
the brake system and lead to a severe
accident.

During emergency braking, the parking
brake warning light will illuminate to
indicate that the system is operating.
NOTICE
If you continuously notice a noise or
burning smell when the EPB is used
for emergency braking, have system
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
