2024–2026 Hyundai Tucson FAQ
What should I do if the brake warning light stays on after releasing the parking brake?
2026
- With the parking brake released, an illuminated light means the reservoir has low brake fluid.
- Carefully reach the nearest safe location, stop, check the level with the engine off, add fluid as needed, and inspect for leaks.
- If there is a leak, the light stays on, or braking is poor, do not drive; have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer inspect the vehicle.
2024
- If the light comes on with the parking brake released, the brake fluid level in the reservoir is low.
- Drive carefully to the nearest safe location, stop, and check the brake fluid level immediately with the engine stopped.
- Add fluid as required and check the brake components for leaks; do not drive if a leak is found, the light remains on, or the brakes do not operate properly.
- Have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
