Hyundai Santa Fe: Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) / EPB malfunction
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) warning light illuminates if the Engine Start/Stop
button is pressed to the ON position and goes off in approximately 3 seconds if
the system is operating normally.
If the EPB warning light remains on, comes on while driving, or does not come
on when the Engine Start/Stop button is pressed to the ON position, this indicates
that the EPB may have malfunctioned.
If this occurs, have the system checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
The EPB warning light may illuminate when the ESC indicator comes on to indicate
that ESC is not working properly, but it does not indicate a malfunction of EPB.
NOTICE
- If the EPB warning light is still on, have the system checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
- If the Parking Brake warning light does not illuminate or blinks
even though the EPB switch was pulled up, EPB may not be applied.
- If the Parking Brake warning light blinks when the EPB warning light
is on, press the switch, and then pull it up. Repeat this one more time. If
the EPB warning does not go off, have the system checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
To release EPB, fasten seatbelt and close door, hood and liftgate
If you try to drive with EPB applied, a warning will sound and a message
will appear...
Check the Parking Brake warning light by pressing the Engine Stop/Start button
