 Information
ś For the Middle East, EPB is released 
regardless of seat belt fastening.
ś For your safety, you can engage EPB 
even though the Vehicle Stop/Start 
button is in the OFF position (only if 
battery power is available), but you 
cannot release it.
ś For your safety, depress the brake 
pedal and release the parking brake 
manually with the EPB switch when 
you drive downhill or when backing up 
the vehicle.
NOTICE
ś If the Parking Brake warning light is 
still on even though the EPB has been 
released, have the system checked 
by an authorized retailer of Genesis 
Branded products.
ś Do not drive your vehicle with EPB 
applied. It may cause excessive brake 
pad and brake rotor wear.
