The Hyundai i30 is equipped with an Electronic Parking Brake (EPB), as shown in the picture below.
It is located below the gear shift and this is how it works:
-
To release the EPB, push down on the button.
-
Shift the gear downwards to D (Drive) and off you go!
-
To switch gear to R (Reverse), shift the gear upwards.
-
To engage the EPB, shift the gear to 'P' and pull up the EPB button.
For extra assurance, you'll see the same sign lit up on the dashboard too.
