If the Brake System Indicator (Red) Comes On

Reasons for the indicator to come on

• The brake fluid is low.

• There is a malfunction in the brake system.

What to do when the indicator comes on while driving

Press the brake pedal lightly to check pedal pressure.

• If normal, check the brake fluid level the next time you stop.

• If abnormal, take immediate action. If necessary, downshift the

transmission to slow the vehicle using engine braking.

If the EPS System Indicator Comes On

Reasons for the indicator to come on

• Comes on when there is a problem with EPS system.

• If you depress the accelerator pedal repeatedly to increase the engine

speed while the engine is idling, the indicator comes on, and
sometimes the steering wheel becomes harder to operate.

What to do when the indicator comes on

Stop the vehicle in a safe place and restart the engine.
If the indicator comes on and stays on, immediately have your vehicle
inspected by a dealer.

If the Brake System Indicator (Red) Comes On

Have your vehicle repaired immediately.
It is dangerous to drive with low brake fluid. If there
is no resistance from the brake pedal, stop
immediately in a safe place. If necessary downshift
the transmission.

If the brake system indicator and ABS indicator come
on simultaneously, the electronic brake distribution
system is not working. This can result in vehicle
instability under sudden braking.

Have your vehicle inspected by a dealer immediately.

If the EPS System Indicator Comes On

NOTICE

If you repeatedly turn the steering wheel at an
extremely low speed, or hold the steering wheel on
the full left or right position for a while, the system
heats up. The system goes into a protective mode,
and limits its performance. The steering wheel
becomes harder and harder to operate. Once the
system cools down, EPS system is restored. Repeated
operation under these conditions can eventually
damage the system.
