B240C02L WARNING:
o Do not install a child restraint system in the front passenger
seat position.
A child restraint system must
never be placed in the front seat.
The infant or child could be se-
verely injured by an airbag de-
ployment in case of an accident.
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rear-
ward facing restraint on a seat
protected by an airbag in front of
it!
o Modification to SRS components or wiring, including the addition
of any kind of badges to the pad
covers or modifications to the
body structure, can adversely
affect SRS performance and lead
to possible injury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad cov-
ers, use only a soft, dry cloth or
one which has been moistened
with plain water. Solvents or
cleaners could adversely affect the
airbag covers and proper deploy-
ment of the system.
B240C02Y-GAT
SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and there are no parts you can safely
service by yourself. The entire SRS
system must be inspected by an au-
thorized Hyundai dealer in 10 years
after the date that the vehicle was
manufactured.
Any work on the SRS system, such as
removing, installing, repairing, or any
work on the steering wheel must be
performed by a qualified Hyundai tech-
nician. Improper handling of the SRS
system may result in serious personal
injury.
o Do not place any objects (an um-
brella, bag, etc.) between the front
door and the front seat. Such ob-
jects may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if the
supplemental side impact air bag
inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deploy- ment of the side air impact bag
that may result in personal injury,
avoid impact to the side airbag
sensor when the ignition key is
on.

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.

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

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.
