CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENTcircuits becoming defective, approximately fifty per cent of the normal braking perfor-mance will be available. If failure of one of the circuits occurs, the required amount of pedal effort, pedal traveland stopping distance will be increased. Useof the gearbox is recommended to assist inbringing the vehicle to rest. The vehicle mustnot be driven once brake failure has occurreduntil the system has been repaired and isfunctioning normally. The braking system employs a vacuum servo in order that the pedal efforts are reduced.Power for the servo is derived from the engineand therefore, in the event of the enginestopping or the vehicle being towed, pedalefforts will be substantially increased.

PARKING BRAKE/BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING LIGHT
WARNING: In the event of problems being suspected with the braking system, the advice of thenearest Hyundai authorised repairer mustbe sought before the vehicle is driven.Driving the vehicle with either an electri-cal or hydraulic braking system defectmay be dangerous, resulting in accidentor personal injury. Warning light operation The parking brake/brake fluid level warning light will be illuminated whenever the ignitionswitch is turned to the "ON" position irrespec-tive of whether or not the parking brake isapplied and must be extinguished when theengine starts and the parking brake released. If the warning light fails to extinguish or illumi- nates at any other time, the vehicle must bebrought to rest in a safe location and the levelof brake fluid in the reservoir checked. If thefluid level is incorrect, fluid conforming to DOT3 or DOT 4 specifications should be added. If,after correcting the brake fluid level, the warn-ing light continues to be illuminated, the ad-vice of the nearest Hyundai authorised re-pairer must be sought before the vehicle isdriven again.The Hyundai Matrix is equipped with a diag-onally split dual braking system which willensure that in the event of one of the brake
CAUTION: If the drive belt (generator belt) is loose, broken, or missing whilst the vehicle isdriving, there may be a serious malfunc-tion, engine could overheat because thisbelt also drives the water pump.
SB210M1-E CHARGING SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT
The charging system warning light should illuminate when the ignition switch is turned tothe "ON" position and should be extinguishedwhen the engine is started. If the light fails toilluminate when the ignition is turned "ON" orfails to extinguish after starting the engine, thenearest Hyundai authorised repairer shouldbe contacted. If the light illuminates whilst thevehicle is being driven, stop the vehicle assoon as it is safe to do so and check thecondition of the generator drive belt. If the beltis in place and the tension is satisfactory, theadvice of a Hyundai authorised repairer shouldbe sought.
B260B01FC-EAT TAIL GATE OPEN WARNING LIGHT
The tail gate warning light indicates when the tail gate is open or is not fully closed. Ensurethat the light has extinguished prior to drivingthe vehicle. SB2100I-E DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT

SB210P1-E
LOW FUEL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT
The low fuel warning light serves to warn the driver that the remaining fuel quantity is ap-proximately 9 litres and that the vehicle shouldbe refuelled. If the vehicle is driven for anextended period with the low fuel warning lightilluminated there exists a possibility that mis-firing due to fuel shortage may occur. Thissituation must be avoided to prevent damageto the catalyst occurring.

BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR
The front brake disc pads are fitted with an
audible wear indicator which will cause a high pitched noise to be emitted when the remain-ing amount of friction lining is below the speci-fied value. When the wear indicator is heard,the brake pads should be replaced withoutdelay to avoid damage occurring to the brakediscs and a severe reduction in braking effi-ciency.
B260N02FC-EAT
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT
This light illuminates when there is a malfunc- tion of an exhaust gas related component,and the system is not functioning properly sothat the exhaust gas regulation values are notsatisfied. This light will illuminate when theignition key is tuned to the "ON" position, andwill go out after the engine start. If it illumi-nates whilst driving, or does not illuminatewhen the ignition key is turned to the "ON"position, take your car to your nearest Hyundaiauthorised repairer dealer and have the sys-tem checked.
B260S01B-GAT DIESEL PRE-HEAT INDICATOR LIGHT(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-heatindicator light goes off. The illuminating timevaries with the water temperature, air tem-perature and battery condition.
NOTE: If the engine were not started 10 seconds
after the preheating is completed, turn the ignition key once more to the "LOCK"position, and then to the "ON" position, inorder to preheat again.
B265A01FC-GAT FUEL FILTER WARNING
LIGHT (Diesel Engine)
This light illuminates when the engine has started and goes off after a few seconds. If itlights up whilst the engine is running, it indi-cates that water has accumulated inside thefuel filter. If this happens, remove the waterfrom the fuel filter. (Refer to "6-23 page")

TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHT(Not all models)
The traction control indicator changes opera- tion according to the ignition switch positionand whether or not the system is in operation. It will also illuminate when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, and then go off ina few seconds. If the TCS indicator stays on,take your car to your Hyundai authorisedrepairer and have the system checked. Seesection 2 for more information about the TCSsystem.

The fuel gauge indicates the quantity of fuel remaining in the fuel tank. NOTE: The fuel gauge is not intended to giveother than an approximate indication ofthe fuel level and is unsuitable for thepurposes of calculating fuel consumptionfigures.SB215B1-E ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE The engine coolant temperature gauge indi- cates the engine coolant temperature and will, under normal circumstances, give an indica-tion in the "Normal" or centre portion of thescale. Should the indication move into theupper or "Hot" portion of the scale, engineoverheating is indicated. Under these circum-stances, the vehicle should be brought to restas soon as is safe to do so and the engineturned off. Once the engine has cooled some-what, the coolant level and the condition ofthe generator/water pump drive belt should bechecked. If the cause of the overheating can-not be readily established, the assistance ofa Hyundai authorised repairer should besought.

WARNING: The engine cooling system is pressurized and removal of the radiator cap when theengine is hot may cause hot water andsteam to be ejected from the radiator re-sulting in burns and scalding. The radiatorcap must only be removed when the en-gine has cooled. Do not add cold water toa hot engine to avoid the possibility ofengine damage. The use of plain water inthe cooling system is not recommendedsince the aluminium components of thecooling system require the use of a corro-sion inhibitor found in the recommendedEthylene Glycol type anti freeze solutions.
