SRS (Airbag) SERVICE
REMINDER INDICATOR
The SRS service reminder indicator
(SRI) comes 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 continu-
ously 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 autho-
rized Hyundai Dealer. B260P02Y-EAT
ABS SERVICE
REMINDER INDICATOR
(SRI) (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 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. SB210E1-E

OIL PRESSURE
WARNING LIGHT
!CAUTION:
If the oil pressure light illuminates
when the engine is running, an in-
sufficient oil pressure level for con-
tinued safe operation of the engine
exists. Continued operation of the
engine in this condition may result
in serious engine damage.
Under normal circumstances, the
light will illuminate when the igni-
tion is turned "on" and will be extin-
guished when the engine is started.
If the oil pressure warning light illu-
minates whilst the engine is run-
ning, stop the engine immediately
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 light fails to
extinguish when the engine is re-
started, do not continue to operate
the vehicle.
If the oil pressure light illuminates
during normal operation and the
cause is not an insufficient oil level,
or the light fails to illuminate when
the ignition is turned "on", contact
the nearest Hyundai dealer before
further operating the vehicle.
Warning light operation
The parking brake/brake fluid level warn-
ing light will be illuminated whenever
the ignition switch is turned to the "ON"
position irrespective of whether or not
the parking brake is applied and must
be extinguished when the engine starts
and the parking brake released.
If the warning light fails to extinguish or
illuminates at any other time, the ve-
hicle 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 light continues to be illumi-
nated, the advice of the nearest Hyundai
dealer must be sought before the ve-
hicle is driven again.
Your Hyundai is equipped with a diago-
nally split dual braking system which
will ensure that in the event of one of the
brake circuits becoming defective, ap-
proximately fifty per cent of the normal
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
WARNING:
In the event of problems being sus-
pected with the braking system, the
advice of the nearest Hyundai dealer
must be sought before the vehicle is
driven. Driving the vehicle with ei-
ther an electrical or hydraulic brak-
ing system defect may be danger-
ous, resulting in accident or per-
sonal injury.

SC140B1-E ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (Not all models) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-upduring sudden braking or on hazard-ous road surfaces. The ABS controlmodule monitors the wheel speed and controls the pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in emergency situationsor on slick roads, ABS will increasevehicle control during braking. NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pul- sation may be felt in the brake pedal when the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the enginecompartment whilst braking. Theseconditions are normal and indicatethat the anti-lock brake system isfunctioning properly.

When the overdrive switchis turned "ON", the transaxle functionsas a fully automatic four speed unitwith the maximum fuel economy po- tential of the vehicle being realized. SC140A1-E EFFECTIVE BRAKING Braking system performance and fric- tion material life are greatly affected by the driving style adopted. The follow-ing suggestions are made to assist inachieving the best results from thebraking 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 retardingthe vehicle to minimize the possibil- ity of brake fade occurring.
o When trailer towing, ensure that the
trailer brakes function correctly and use engine braking to assist thevehicle braking system. o Use only genuine Hyundai replace-
ment brake pads and shoes to en-sure consistent friction characteris-tics and wear rates.
o After driving through deep water (e.g. fording), the brakes may be-come wet and performance reduced.Always check brake efficiency afteremerging from the water and dry thebrakes by lightly depressing thebrake pedal several times whilst driving slowly.
o Apply the parking brake only when the vehicle is at rest.
o Since the power assistance pro- vided by the brake servo is derived from the engine, coasting with the engine turned off or towing of the vehicle with the engine turned offwill result in greatly increased pedalpressures being required to stop thevehicle.
o Do not hold the vehicle on the up- grade with the accelerator pedal.This can cause the transmission tooverheat. Always use the brakepedal or parking brake.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 15
o Keep your car in good condition. For
better fuel economy and reduced maintenance costs, maintain yourcar in accordance with the mainte-nance schedule in Section 5. If you drive your car in severe conditions, more frequent maintenance is re-quired (see Section 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your car should be keptclean and free of corrosive materi- als. It is especially important that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be allowed toaccumulate on the underside of thecar. This extra weight can result inincreased fuel consumption and alsocontribute to corrosion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces-
sary weight in your car. Weight is anenemy of good fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting (andnot in traffic), turn off your engine and restart only when you're ready to go.
o Remember, your car does not re-
quire extended warm-up. As soonas the engine is running smoothly,you can drive away. In very cold weather, however, give your engine a slightly longer warm-up period. o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine.
Lugging is driving too slowly in toohigh a gear resulting in the enginebucking. If this happens to you, shiftto a lower gear. Over-revving is racing the engine beyond its safe limit. This can beavoided by shifting at the recom-mended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is oper- ated by the engine power so your fuel economy is reduced when youuse it.
SC160A1-F SMOOTH CORNERING Avoid braking or gear changing in cor- ners, especially when roads are wet.Ideally, corners should always be takenunder gentle acceleration. If you followthese suggestions, tyre wear will beheld to a minimum. SC170A1-E WINTER MOTORING The onset of winter conditions subject motor vehicles to greater operatingdemands. Therefore, the followingsuggestions will assist in maintainingpeak performance and reliability dur- ing these periods: ZC170B1-E Electrical System Winter conditions impose severe de- mands upon vehicle electrical systems, particularly the charging circuit. The battery condition and performancealong with the alternator performanceand drive belt condition should bechecked prior to the onset of winter.
