Driving your vehicle
EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) may be
automatically applied when:
• Requested by other systems
• The driver turns the vehicle off while
Auto Hold is operating.
Emergency braking
If there is a problem with the brake pedal
while driving, emergency braking is
possible by pulling up and holding the
EPB switch. Braking is possible only while
you are holding the EPB switch. However,
braking distance will be longer than
normal.
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH, do not operate the EPB while the
vehicle is moving except in an emergency
situation. It could damage the brake
system and lead to an accident.
During emergency braking, the Parking
Brake warning light will illuminate to
indicate that the system is operating.
If you continuously notice a noise or
burning smell when the EPB is used for
emergency braking, have the system
checked by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products.
