2 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
8WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS
B260B01S-GAT SRS (Airbag) Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)(If installed)
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) comes on and flashes for about 6 seconds after the ignition key isturned 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 doesnot 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 authorizedHyundai Dealer.
C130N02Y-GAT Anti-lock Brake Warning
Light (If installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the ABS light will come onand then go off in a few seconds. If the ABS light remains on, comes on while driving, or does not come onwhen 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 brakingsystem will still be operational, but without the assistance of the anti-lock brake system.C130I01P-GAT Overdrive/Off Indicator (If installed)
When the overdrive switch is turned on and 4th gear is engaged, the overdriveoff indicator will go out. This amber indicator will be illuminated when the overdrive switch is turned off.(Automatic tranmission only)
C130F01P-GAT Turn-signal Indication Lamps-Green
These indication lamps blink on and off when a turn-signal lamp is blinking. Ifthe blinking is too short, the cause may be a faulty turn-signal lamp connection or a blown lamp bulb.
C130G01P-GAT High-beam Indication Lamp-Blue
This indication lamp illuminates when the high beams are on.
!WARNING:
If both the ABS SRI and Parking Brake/Brake fluid level warning lights remain "ON" or come on whiledriv ing, there may be a problem with
E.B.D (Electronic brake force distri-
bution). If this occurs, avoid suddenstops  and have your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.

D140A02P-GAT ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) (If installed) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-upduring sudden braking or on hazard- ous road surfaces. A computer moni- tors the wheel speed and controls thepressure applied to each brake. Thus, in emergency situations or on slick roads, your ABS will increase vehiclecontrol 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 driving. Theseconditions are normal and indicate that the anti-lock brake system is functioning properly. WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents dueto improper or dangerous driving maneuvers. Even though vehicle control is improved during emer-gency braking, always maintain a safe distance between you and ob- jects ahead. Vehicle speeds shouldalways be reduced during extreme road conditions. The braking distance for carsequipped with an anti-lock braking system may be longer than for those without it in the following road con-ditions. During these conditions, the ve- hicle should be driven at reducedspeeds: 
o On rough, gravel or snow-cov- ered roads.
o With tire chains installed. 
o On roads where the road surface
is pitted or has different surface height.
o Use caution when parking on a hill.
Engage the parking brake and place the gear selector lever in "P"(automatic transmission) or in first or reverse gear (manual trans-mission). If your vehicle is facing downhill, turn the front wheels away from  the curb to help keep thevehicle from rolling. If there is no curb or if it is required by other conditions to keep the vehicle fromrolling, 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 trans- mission) or in first or reverse gear(manual transmission) and block the rear wheels so the vehicle cannot roll. Then release the parking brake.  

3 STARTING AND OPERATING
24
The safety features of an ABS equipped vehicle should not be tested by high speed driving or cornering. This could endanger thesafety of yourself or others.
BACK WARNING SYSTEM
NOTE: 
o Back warning system should onlybe considered as a supplemen- tary function. The driver mustcheck the rear view.
o The audible warning signal can
be different depending on theobjects.
o The audible warning signal might
not activate in case the sensor isfrozen or stained with dirt or mud.
o There is a chance of malfunction
of the back warning system whendriving in uneven surfaces such as woods, gravel road, jagged road, or gradient.
o Do not push, or scratch the sur- face of the sensor. This will likelydamage the covering.
o The sensor system might not rec- ognize sharp objects, thick win-ter clothes or sponges whichabsorb the frequency.
o Clean dirty sensors with a soft
sponge and clean water.
o When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-est one will be recognized first.
C400A01P-GAT (If installed)
The back warning system assists the driver during backward movement ofthe vehicle by chiming if any object is sensed within the distance of 1200 mm (47 in.) behind the vehicle. Thissystem is only a supplemental system. Sensor
