B260P02Y-GAT

ABS Service Reminder

Indicator (If installed)

When the key is turned to the "ON"

position, the Anti-Lock Brake System

SRI will come on and then go off in a

few seconds. If the ABS SRI remains

on, comes on while driving, or does not

come on when the key is turned to the

"ON" position, this indicates that there

may be a problem with the ABS.

If this occurs, have your vehicle

checked by your Hyundai dealer as

soon as possible. The normal braking

system will still be operational, but

without the assistance of the anti-lock

brake system.

Turn Signal Indicator

Lights

The blinking green arrows on the in-

strument panel show the direction indi-

cated by the turn signals. If the arrow

comes on but does not blink, blinks

more rapidly than normal, or does not

illuminate at all, a malfunction in the

turn signal system is indicated. Your

dealer should be consulted for repairs.

WARNING:

If the both ABS SRI and Parking

Brake/Brake fluid level warning

lights remain "ON" or come on while

driving, there may be a problem

with E.B.D (Electronic Brake Force

Distribution).

If this occurs, avoid sudden stops

and have your vehicle checked by

your Hyundai dealer as soon as

possible.

Low Oil Pressure Warn-

ing Light

CAUTION:

If the oil pressure warning light

stays on while the engine is run-

ning, serious engine damage may

result. The oil pressure warning

light comes on whenever there is

insufficient oil pressure. In normal

operation, it should come on when

then go out when the engine is

started.

If the oil pressure warning light

stays on while the engine is run-

ning, there is a serious malfunc-

tion.

If this happens, stop the car as

soon as it is safe to do so, turn off

the engine and check the oil level. If

the oil level is low, fill engine oil to

the proper level and start the en-

gine again. If the light stays on with

the engine running, turn the engine

off immediately.

In any instance where the oil light

stays on when the engine is running,

the engine should be checked by an

authorized Hyundai dealer before the

car is driven again.

B260J01S-GAT

Charging System Warn-

ing Light

The charging system warning light

should come on when the ignition is

turned on, then go out when the engine

is running. If the light stays on while the

engine is running, there is a malfunc-

tion in the electrical charging system. If

the light comes on while you are driv-

ing, stop, turn off the engine and check

under the hood. First, make certain the

generator drive belt is in place. If it is,

check the tension of the belt.

And then, have the system checked by

your Hyundai dealer.

CAUTION:

If the drive belt (generator belt) is

loosen, broken, or mission while

the vehicle is driving, there may be

a serious malfunction, engine could

overheat because this belt also

drives the water pump.

Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-

diagonal braking systems. This means

you still have braking on two wheels

even if one of the dual systems should

fail. With only one of the dual systems

working, more than normal pedal travel

and greater pedal pressure are re-

quired to stop the car. Also, the car will

not stop in as short a distance with only

half of the brake system working. If the

brakes fail while you are driving, shift

to a lower gear for additional engine

braking and stop the car as soon as it

is safe to do so.

Warning Light Operation

The parking brake/brake fluid level

warning light should come on when the

parking brake is applied and the igni-

tion switch is turned to "ON" or

"START". After the engine is started,

the light should go out when the park-

ing brake is released.

If the parking brake is not applied, the

warning light should come on when the

ignition switch is turned to "ON" or

"START", then go out when the engine

starts. If the light comes on at any

other time, you should slow the vehicle

and bring it to a complete stop in a safe

location off the roadway.

The brake fluid level warning light indi-

cates that the brake fluid level in the

brake master cylinder is low and hy-

draulic brake fluid conforming to DOT

3 or DOT 4 specifications should be

added. After adding fluid, if no other

trouble is found, the car should be

immediately and carefully driven to a

Hyundai dealer for inspection. If fur-

ther trouble is experienced, the vehicle

should not be driven at all but taken to

a dealer by a professional towing ser-

vice or some other safe method.
