OIL PRESSURE WARNING LAMP
CAUTION: If the oil pressure lamp illuminates when the engine is running, an insufficient oil pressure level for continued safe operation of the en- gine exists. Continued operation of the en- gine in this condition may result in serious engine damage. Under normal circumstances, the lamp will illu- minate when the ignition is turned "on" and will be extinguished when the engine is started. If the oil pressure warning lamp illuminates whilst the engine is running, stop the engine immedi- ately and check the engine oil level. If the level is insufficient, add the required amount of oil as indicated by the engine oil dipstick. If the lamp fails to extinguish when the engine is restarted, do not continue to operate the vehicle. If the oil pressure lamp illuminates during normal operation and the cause is not an insufficient oil level, or the lamp fails to illuminate when the ignition is turned "on", contact the nearest Hyundai dealer before further operating the vehicle.
SB210G1-E TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR LAMPS
Operation of a turn signal is indicated by the warning lamp located in the instrument cluster. If the lamp fails to illuminate or does not flash, a malfunction within the turn signal system is indi- cated.
SB210J1-E HIGH BEAM INDICATOR LAMP
The high beam indicator lamp will illuminate whenever the headlamps are switched to high beam of flash position.

ABS SERVICE REMINDER IN-
DICATOR (Not all models)
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 prob- lem 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 with- out the assistance of the anti-lock brake system. CAUTION: If the both ABS SRI and Parking Brake/Brake fluid level warning lights remain "ON" or come on while driving, there may be a prob- lem with E.B.D (Electronic brake force distri- bution). If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and have your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.

DOOR AJAR WARNING LAMP
The door ajar warning lamp indicates that a door is not correctly closed. Ensure that the lamp is extinguished prior to driving the vehicle.
SB210P1-E
LOW FUEL LEVEL WARNING LAMP
The low fuel warning lamp serves to warn the driver that the remaining fuel quantity is approxi- mately 9 litres and that the vehicle should be refuelled. If the vehicle is driven for an extended period with the low fuel warning lamp illuminated there exists a possibility that misfiring due to fuel
defective, approximately fifty per cent of thenormal braking performance will be available. If failure of one of the circuits occurs, the required amount of pedal effort, pedal travel and stopping distance will be increased. Use of the gearbox is recommended to assist in bringing the vehicle to rest. The vehicle must not be driven once brake failure has occurred until the system has been repaired and is functioning normally. The braking system employs a vacuum servo in order that the pedal efforts are reduced. Power for the servo is derived from the engine and therefore, in the event of the engine stopping or the vehicle being towed, pedal efforts will be substantially increased.
SB210M1-E CHARGING SYSTEM WARNING LAMP
The charging system warning lamp should illumi- nate when the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position and should be extinguished when the engine is started. If the lamp fails to illuminate when the ignition is turned "ON" or fails to extin- guish after starting the engine, the nearest Hyundai dealer should be contacted. If the lamp illuminates whilst the vehicle is being driven, stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so and check the condition of the generator drive belt. If the belt is in place and the tension is satisfactory, the advice of a Hyundai dealer should be sought.
B260H01GK-EAT PARKING BRAKE/BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING LAMP
WARNING: In the event of problems being suspected with the braking system, the advice of the nearest Hyundai dealer must be sought be- fore the vehicle is driven. Driving the vehicle with either an electrical or hydraulic braking system defect may be dangerous, resulting in accident or personal injury. Warning lamp operation The parking brake/brake fluid level warning lamp will be illuminated whenever the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" or "START" position when the parking brake is applied and must be extin- guished in a three seconds after the engine starts. If the warning lamp fails to extinguish or illumi- nates at any other time, the vehicle must be brought to rest in a safe location and the level of brake fluid in the reservoir checked. If the fluid level is incorrect, fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications should be added. If, after correcting the brake fluid level, the warning lamp continues to be illuminated, the advice of the nearest Hyundai dealer must be sought before the vehicle is driven again. The Hyundai Lantra is equipped with a diagonally split dual braking system which will ensure that in the event of one of the brake circuits becoming SB210N2-E
HATCHBACK DOOR OPEN WARNING LAMP
The hatchback door warning lamp indicates when the hatchback door is open or is not fully closed. Ensure that the lamp has extinguished prior to driving the vehicle.CAUTION: If the drive belt (generator belt) is loosen, broken, or missing while the vehicle is driv- ing, there may be a serious malfunction, en- gine could overheat because this belt also drives the water pump.
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 8 o Since the power assistance provided by the
brake servo is derived from the engine, coasting with the engine turned off or towing of the vehicle with the engine turned off will result in greatly increased pedal pressures being required to stop the vehicle.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with the accelerator pedal. This can cause thetransmission to overheat. Always use the brake pedal or parking brake.
SC140B1-E ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (Not all models) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking or on hazardous road surfaces. The ABS con- trol module monitors the wheel speed and con- trols the pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS will increase vehicle control during braking. NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pulsation may be felt in the brake pedal when the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the engine compartment while brak- ing. These conditions are normal and indi- cate that the anti-lock brake system is func- tioning properly.
when you are driving down a long hill, slowdown and shift to a lower gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear.
Otherwise, the lower gear may not be en-gaged.
o Always use the parking brake. Do not de- pend on placing the transaxle in "P" to keep the car from moving.
o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be especially careful whenbraking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an abrupt change in vehi- cle speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle to go out of control.
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel move- ments, such as sharp lane changes orfast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts.
o The risk of rollover is greatly increased if
you lose control of your vehicle at high- way speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway andthe driver oversteers to reenter the road- way.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the road- way, do not steer sharply. Instead, slowdown before pulling back into the travel lanes. o In a collision crash, un unbelted person
is significantly more likely to die than aperson wearing a seatbelt.
SC140A1-E EFFECTIVE BRAKINGBraking system performance and friction mate- rial life are greatly affected by the driving style adopted. The following suggestions are made to assist in achieving the best results from the braking system.
o Anticipate the road and conditions ahead in order that heavy braking may be avoided.
o When descending long gradients, use the engine to assist in retarding the vehicle to minimize the possibility of brake fade occur- ring.
o When trailer towing, ensure that the trailer brakes function correctly and use enginebraking to assist the vehicle braking system.
o Use only genuine Hyundai replacement brake pads and shoes to ensure consistentfriction characteristics and wear rates.
o After driving through deep water (e.g.
fording), the brakes may become wet and performance reduced. Always check brake efficiency after emerging from the water and dry the brakes by lightly depressing the brake pedal several times whilst driving slow- ly.
o Apply the parking brake only when the vehi- cle is at rest.

missing. If it is not missing, check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satisfac- tory, check for coolant leaking from the radia- tor, hoses or under the car. (If the air condi- tioning had been in use, it is normal for cold water to be draining from it).
WARNING: Whilst the engine is running, keep hands and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or coolant is leaking out, stop the engine imme- diately and call the nearest Hyundai dealer for assistance.
WARNING:Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot since steam and boiling water may be ejected from the radiator resulting in burns or scalding.
6. If the cause of the overheating cannot be found, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been lost, carefully remove the radiator cap and add water to bring the fluid level in the reser- voir up to the base of the radiator fill opening. Fill the coolant expansion tank to the halfway mark.
WARNING: Motor vehicle batteries contain sulphuric acid and emit hydrogen gas. Protective clothing should be worn and care exercised to prevent the acid from coming into contact with skin or clothing and the vehicle. Naked lights should not be permitted in the vicinity of the battery. Care should be exercised to prevent sparks occurring during connection. If acid acciden- tally comes into contact with skin or eyes, the affected area should immediately be flushed with copious amounts of water and medical assistance sought.
1. Ensure that the booster battery is 12 volt type.
If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, ensure that the two vehicles are not touching.
2. Turn off all unnecessary electrical equipment in both vehicles.
3. Ensure that the engine of the vehicle provid- ing the jump start is running prior to connec- tion of the jump cables.
4. Connect the red jump cable to the positive (+)
terminal of the booster battery and the other end to the positive (+) terminal of the dis- charged battery.
5. Attach the black jump cable to the negative
(-) terminal of the booster battery, and the other end to a ground point within the engine compartment of the vehicle with the flat bat- tery. Do not connect to the negative battery terminal of the flat battery since sparks may be generated with the subsequent risk of explosion. 6. Raise the booster vehicle engine speed to
2,000 r.p.m. and start the engine of the vehi- cle with the flat battery.
7. Remove jump cables in the reverse order of installation (black cable first).
CAUTION: If the jump cable is incorrectly installed, dam- age to the vehicle electrical system may oc- cur, in particular the electronic components such as the Fuel Injection system computer and the Automatic Transmission computer. The battery must never be disconnected whilst the engine is running. SD040A1-E IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATSIf the temperature gauge indicates overheating:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto- matic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from under the bonnet stop the engine. Do not open the bonnet until the cool-ant has stopped running or the steam- ing has stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant and no steam, leave the engine run- ning and check to be sure the engine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.

1. Bring the car to rest as soon as it is safe to do so and with the minimum amount ofbraking required which will assist in main- taining the maximum amount of control. The vehicle should be parked wherever possible upon firm level ground to facilitate wheel changing.
2. If the vehicle is creating a hazard and the road conditions do not permit the wheel to bechanged safely, assistance should be sought.
3. Passengers must not be allowed to remain inside the vehicle during wheel changing. Ifa puncture occurs whilst the vehicle is on a SD070A1-E CHANGING A FLAT TYRE
7. Proceed with caution until it is established
that the engine is operating normally. If the engine overheats repeatedly, the advice of a Hyundai dealer should be sought.
CAUTION: Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai dealer.
It is of the utmost importance that care is exer- cised when changing road wheels. Ensure that the parking brake is set and that the gear shift lever is in reverse (P, if the vehicle has automatic transmission).
D040A01GK-EAT TEMPORARY SPARE TYREThe following instructions for the temporary spare tyre should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon as practical
after installing the spare tyre, and adjust to the specified pressure. The tyre pressure should be periodically checked and maintained at the specified pressure while the tyre is stored.
2. The spare tyre should only be used temporari-
ly and should be returned to the luggagecompartment as soon as the original tyre can be repaired or replaced.
3. Continuous use at speeds of over 50 mph (80 km/h) is not recommended. 4. As the temporary spare tyre is specifically
designed for your car, it should not be used onany other vehicle.
5. The temporary spare tyre should not be used on any other wheels, nor should standard tyre, snow tyre, wheel covers or trim rings be used with the temporary spare wheel. If such use is attempted, damage to these items or other car components may occur.

retreatment programme must be observed in accordance with the Terms and Conditions outlined in the separate Anti Perforation War- ranty Booklet. NOTE: The underbody should never be steamcleaned since the underbody coating may be removed by this process. During the interim period between powerwashing the underbody, the more vulnera- ble areas such as wheel arches should be hosed off particularly during the winter sea- son to prevent prolonged contact with road salts.Ensure that the various drain points located at the bottom of the door panels and sills are kept clear to prevent water from becom- ing trapped within the cavities. Wherever possible, the parking of the vehicle in a confined, poorly ventilated location (a ga- rage for example) should be avoided when the vehicle is wet or is covered with snow or ice. Under these conditions, the internal cavities of the vehicle will remain damp for prolonged periods of time which will en- courage corrosion. Parking the vehicle where good ventilation exists (outside for example) is preferable.
SE020A1-E PROTECTING YOUR HYUNDAI FROM CORROSION By using the most advanced design and con- struction practices, every Hyundai is built to retain the original factory finish for many years. However, long term durability is also greatly dependant upon maintaining the various protec- tion systems and coatings used in manufacture since constant, exposure to the elements will result in a breakdown and loss of effectiveness. The following suggestions are made to assist in the maintenance of the vehicle bodywork. SE030A1-E UNDERBODY COATINGSEvery Hyundai passenger car receives a full underbody and cavity injection treatment during production. In order that this treatment may retain maximum effectiveness it is recommend- ed that the underbody receives a power wash and a thorough inspection after each winter season. In so doing any accumulations of mud, which act as moisture traps and combine with road salts to accelerate corrosion will be re- moved.

CARE
E030A01GK-AAT VALETINGRegular cleaning of the exterior paintwork serves two important functions. Firstly, the removal of abrasive dirt and contaminants will maintain the lustre of the paintwork and will prevent discolouration and dulling due to prolonged con- tact. Secondly, the presence of damage through im- pact or abrasion will be apparent allowing early rectification to be made thus preventing corro- sion from becoming established and spreading beneath the paint film. To avoid "water spotting" the vehicle should not be washed in direct sun- light particularly in the case of vehicles having dark body colours. The heat from the sun rays is absorbed by the paint film increasing the surface temperature. This action causes water used for washing to evaporate quickly leaving behind the deposits from the water and the shampoo used. Use only a shampoo intended for the purpose and ensure that the body work is thoroughly wetted to soften the dirt film prior to attempting to remove this. After removing the dirt film with a soft sponge, the body work should be thoroughly rinsed and then dried with a good quality chamois leather to prevent streaking or spotting of the paint work. Household detergents, solvents and abrasive cleaning materials should not be used in order to avoid damaging the paint film. High pressure car washes may cause water to enter your vehicle. Plastic wheel covers should be cleaned using a sponge and water. Cast alloy wheels should be cleaned using a mild soap or neutral detergent. Abrasive compounds must not be used since in the event of these damaging the lacquer coating,
