Title: Electric Handbrake
Post by: Bryanny54 on November 04, 2016, 20:05:43

Hi all,  I've 2016 i30 Preium diesel. Very nice and goes very well.
The problem I have is the electric handbrake doesn't release sometimes and at traffic lights that can be a problem. I'll take it to the dealers when it happens on a regular bases, but for now is there any ideas.

Thanks Bryan

Have you tried pushing the button down? Why is it engaging at the lights?

I've found that if im too quick on the foot brake the handbrake does not release. Can't say I have tried the auto hold feature, just as easy to keep my foot on the brake at the lights.
