on and flashes for about 6 seconds after the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" position or
after the engine is started, after which it will go
out.
This light also comes on when the SRS is not
working properly. If the SRI does not come on,
or continuously remains on after flashing for
about 6 seconds when you turned the ignition
key to the "ON" position or started the engine,
or if it comes on while driving, have the SRS
inspected by an authorized Hyundai Dealer.

DICATOR (SRI) (If Installed)

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.
WARNING:If both ABS SRI and Parking Brake/Brake fluid
level warning lights remain "ON" or come on

sulted for repairs.

pressure. In normal operation, it should come
on when the ignition switch is turned on, then
go out when the engine is started. If the oil
pressure warning light stays on while the
engine is running, there is a serious malfunc-
tion.

safe to do so, turn off the engine and check the
oil level. If the oil level is low, fill the engine oil
to the proper level and start the engine again.
