Parking Brake & Brake Fluid
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.
Whenever the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low.
- If the warning light illuminates
with the parking brake released, it
indicates that 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
loca
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
if the warning light remains on, or if
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-
diagonal br
aking systems. 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.
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.
WARNING
Parking Brake & Brake Fluid Warning
Light
Driving the vehicle with a warning 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.
In this case, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
