B260B01S-GAT
SRS (Airbag) Service Reminder Indicator (SRI) (If Installed)
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) comes on and flashes for about6 seconds after the ignition key isturned to the "ON" position or after theengine is started, after which it will goout. This light also comes on when the SRS is not working properly. If the SRI doesnot come on, or continuously remainson after flashing for about 6 secondswhen you turned the ignition key to the "ON" position or started the engine, or if it comes on while driving, have theSRS inspected by an authorizedHyundai Dealer. B260P02Y-GAT
ABS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
(If Installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the Anti-Lock Brake Systemwill come on and then go off in a fewseconds. If the ABS SRI remains on,comes on while driving, or does notcome 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 vehiclechecked by your Hyundai dealer assoon as possible. The normal brakingsystem will still be operational, but without the assistance of the anti-lock brake system. B260C01A-AAT
O/D OFF Indicator (Automatic transaxle
only) (If Installed)
When the overdrive switch is turned on, the overdrive off indicator will goout. This amber indicator will be illumi-nated when the overdrive switch isturned off.
B260D01A-AAT 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, blinksmore rapidly than normal, or does notilluminate at all, a malfunction in theturn signal system is indicated. Yourdealer should be consulted for repairs.
! CAUTION:
If both ABS SRI and Parking Brake/ Brake fluid level warning lights re- main "ON" or come on while driv-ing, there may be a problem withE.B.D (Electronic Brake Force Dis-tribution).If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and have your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer as soon aspossible.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 13
o Don't coast down hills with the car
out of gear. This is extremely haz-
ardous. Keep the car in gear at alltimes, use the brakes to slow down,
then shift to a lower gear so that engine braking will help you main-tain a safe speed.
o Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Rest-
ing your foot on the brake pedal
while driving can be dangerous be- cause it can result in the brakes overheating and losing their effec-tiveness. It also increases the wear of the brake components.
o If a tire goes flat while you are driving, apply the brakes gently andkeep the car pointed straight ahead while you slow down. When you are
moving slowly enough for it to be safe to do so, pull off the road and stop in a safe place.
o If your car is equipped with an auto- matic transaxle, don't let your carcreep forward. To avoid creepingforward, keep your foot on the brake
pedal when the car is stopped.
o Use caution when parking on a hill. Engage the parking brake and place
the gear selector lever in "P" (auto- matic transaxle) or in first or reverse gear (manual transaxle). If your car is facing downhill, turn the front wheels into the curb to help keep thecar from rolling. If your car is facing
uphill, turn the front wheels away from the curb to help keep the carfrom rolling. If there is no curb or if it is required by other conditions to keep the carfrom rolling, block the wheels.
o Under some conditions your park-
ing brake can freeze in the engagedposition. This is most likely to hap- pen when there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near therear brakes or if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the parking brake may freeze, apply it only tem-porarily while you put the gear se- lector lever in "P" (automatic) or in first or reverse gear (manualtransaxle) and block the rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then release the parking brake.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the up- grade with the accelerator pedal.This can cause the transmission tooverheat. Always use the brake pedal or parking brake. C120A02A-AAT ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (If Installed) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking or on hazard-ous road surfaces. The ABS control module monitors the wheel speed and controls the pressure applied to eachbrake. Thus, in emergency situations or on slick roads, ABS will increase vehicle control during braking. NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pul- sation may be felt in the brake pedalwhen the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the engine compartment while braking. Theseconditions are normal and indicate that the anti-lock brake system is functioning properly.
