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
OVERDRIVE OFF INDI 
CATORLIGHT
(Not all models)
When the overdrive (4th gear) switch is 
turned off and the operation of overdrive 
(4th gear) is cancelled, the overdrive
warning light (O/D OFF) will be illumi- 
nated. When the switch is at the on 
position, the gearbox will operate in the
normal fully automatic mode and the 
warning light will be extinguished. 
SB210G1-E TURN SIGNAL 
INDICATOR LIGHT
Operation of a turn signal is indicated 
by the warning light located in the in- 
strument cluster. If the light fails to
illuminate or does not flash, a malfunc- 
tion within the turn signal system is 
indicated.
! WARNING:
If the both ABS SRI and Parking 
Brake/Brake fluid level warning lights
remain "ON" or come on while driv- 
ing, there may be a problem 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 pos- 
sible.

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.

LOW FUEL LEVEL 
WARNING LIGHT
The low fuel warning light serves to 
warn the driver that the remaining fuel 
quantity is approximately 9 litres and 
that the vehicle should be refuelled. If
the vehicle is driven for an extended 
period with the low fuel warning light 
illuminated there exists a possibility
that misfiring due to fuel shortage may 
occur. This situation must be avoided 
to prevent damage to the catalyst oc-
curring.
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.

CAUTION:
If the drive belt (generator belt) is 
loose, broken, or missing while the 
vehicle is driving, there may be a
serious malfunction, engine could 
overheat because this belt also drives 
the water pump.

(Diesel Engine)
The indicator light illuminates amber 
when the ignition switch is placed at 
the "ON" position. The engine can be 
started after the pre-heat indicator light
goes off. The illuminating time varies 
with the water temperature, air tem- 
perature and battery condition. 
NOTE: 
If the engine were not started 10 
seconds after the preheating is com-
pleted, turn the ignition key once 
more to the "LOCK" position, and 
then to the "ON" position, in order

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERA- 
TURE GAUGE
The  engine coolant temperature gauge 
indicates the engine coolant tempera- 
ture and will, under normal circum-
stances, give an indication in the "Nor- 
mal" or centre portion of the scale. 
Should the indication move into the
upper or "Hot" portion of the scale, 
engine overheating is indicated. Under 
these circumstances, the vehicle should
be brought to rest as soon as is safe to 
do so and the engine turned off. Once 
the engine has cooled somewhat, the
coolant level and the condition of the 
generator/water pump drive belt should 
be checked. If the cause of the over- SB215C1-E

The speedometer indicates the vehicle 
speed in both miles and kilometres per 
hour.
WARNING:
The engine cooling system is pres- 
surized and removal of the radiator 
cap when the engine is hot may
cause hot water and steam to be 
ejected from the radiator resulting in 
burns and scalding. The radiator cap
must only be removed when the en- 
gine has cooled. Do not add cold 
water to a hot engine to avoid the
possibility of engine damage. The 
use of plain water in the cooling 
system is not recommended since
the aluminium components of the 
cooling system require the use of a 
corrosion inhibitor found in the rec-
ommended Ethylene Glycol type anti 
freeze solutions.

CAUTION:
Make sure that the support rod has 
been released prior to closing the

4. Hold the bonnet open with the sup- port rod. WARNING:
o Always double check to be sure that the bonnet is firmly latched
before driving away. If it is not 
latched, the bonnet could fly open
while the vehicle is being driven, 
causing a total loss of visibility, 
which might result in an accident.
o The support rod must be inserted completely into the hole provided
in the bonnet whenever you in-
spect the engine compartment. 
This will prevent the bonnet from 
falling and possibly injuring you. o Do not move the vehicle with the
bonnet in the raised position, as 
vision is obstructed and the bon-

AUTO FUEL CUT SWITCH 
(Petrol Engine) 
The auto fuel cut switch is located on the
