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 remainson, comes on whilst driving, or does not come on when the key is turned to the "ON" position, this indicates that theremay be a problem with the ABS. If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer assoon as possible. The normal braking system will still be operational, but without the assistance of the anti-lock brake system.

In normal operation, it should come on when the ignitionswitch is turned on, then go out when the engine is started. If the oil pressure warning light stayson whilst the engine is running, there is a serious malfunction. If this happens, stop the car as soonas it is safe to do so, turn off the engine and check the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill engine oil to theproper level and start the engine again. If the light stays on with the engine running, turn the engine offimmediately. In any instance where the oil light stays on when the engine is running, the engine should bechecked by an authorised Hyundai dealer before the car is driven again.

Parking Brake/ Low Brake Fluid LevelWarning Light WARNING:
In the event of problems being sus- pected with the braking system, theadvice of the nearest Hyundai dealer must be sought before the vehicle is driven. Driving the vehicle witheither an electrical or hydraulic brak- ing system defect may be danger- ous, resulting in accident or per-sonal injury. Warning Light Operation The parking brake/low brake fluid level warning light will be illuminated when-ever the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position irrespective of whether or not the parking brake is applied andmust be extinguished when the engine starts and the parking brake released. If the warning light fails to extinguish orilluminates at any other time, the ve- hicle must be brought to rest in a safe location and the level of brake fluid inthe reservoir checked. If the fluid level is incorrect, fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications should beadded. If, after correcting the brake fluid level, the warning light continues to be illuminated, the advice of thenearest Hyundai dealer must be sought before the vehicle is driven again. Your Hyundai is equipped with a di-agonally split dual braking system which will ensure that in the event of one of the brake circuits becomingdefective, approximately 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 recommended to assist in bringing thevehicle to rest. The vehicle must not be driven once brake failure has occurred until the system has been repaired andis functioning normally. The braking system employs a vacuum servo in order that the pedal efforts arereduced. Power for the servo is de- rived from the engine and therefore, in the event of the engine stopping or thevehicle being towed, pedal efforts will be substantially increased.
