Turn Signal Indicator Lights
The blinking green arrows on the in- strument panel show the direction indi-cated by the turn signals. If the arrow comes on but does not blink, blinks more rapidly than normal, or does notblink at all, a malfunction in the turn signal system is indicated. Your dealer should be consulted for repairs. B260P02Y-AAT
ABS Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)(If Installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the Anti-Lock Brake System SRI will come on and then go off in afew 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 vehiclechecked by your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. The normal braking system will still be operational, butwithout the assistance of the anti-lock brake system. WARNING:
If the both ABS SRI and ParkingBrake/ Low Brake fluid level warn- ing lights remain "ON" or come onwhile driving, there may be a prob- lem with E.B.D (Electronic Brake Force Distribution).If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and have your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer as soon aspossible. B260F01A-AAT High Beam Indicator Light
The high beam indicator light comes on whenever the headlights areswitched to the high beam or flash position.

WARNING:
Nothing should be carried on top of the cargo area cover behind the rear seat. If there were an accident or a sudden stop, such objectscould move forward and cause dam- age to the vehicle or injure the oc- cupants.
o After being parked, check to be sure the parking brake is not engaged and that the parking brake indicator light is out before driving away.
o Driving through water may get the brakes wet. They can also get wetwhen the car is washed. Wet brakes can be dangerous! Your car will notstop as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet brakes cause the car to pull to one side. To dry the brakes, applythe brakes lightly until the braking action returns to normal, taking care to keep the car under control at alltimes. If the braking action does not return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do so and call your Hyundaidealer for assistance.
GOOD BRAKING PRAC- TICES
LIMITED-SLIP DIFFEREN- TIAL (LSD)
D190A01HP-GAT (If Installed) A limited-slip differential, if equipped, is for the rear wheel differential only.The features of this limited-slip differ- ential are described below: Just as with a conventional differential,the wheel on one side is allowed to turn at a different speed from the wheel on the other side when the vehicle iscornering. The difference between the limited-slip differential and a conven- tional differential is that if the wheel onone side of the vehicle loses traction, a greater amount of torque is applied to the rear wheel on the other side toimprove traction. CAUTION:
o Never start the engine with the gearshift lever placed in the for-ward or reverse while one of therear wheels is jacked up and the other in contact with the ground; doing so may cause the vehicleto jump forward.
o Use only recommended oil for
LSD in the rear axle.See page 9-5 for the recom- mended oil descriptions.

IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START
D010A01A-AAT D010B01HP-GAT If Engine Doesn’t Turn Over or Turns Over Slowly
1. If your car has an automatic trans- mission, be sure the gear selector lever is in "N" or "P" and the emer-gency brake is set.
2. Check the battery connections to be
sure they are clean and tight.
3. Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you operatethe starter, the battery is discharged.
4. Check the starter connections to be sure they are securely tightened.
5. Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it. See instructions for "Jump Starting". D010C02A-EAT If Engine Turns Over Normally but Does Not Start
1. Check fuel level.
2. With the key in the "OFF" position,
check all connectors at ignition coils and spark plugs(For Gasoline En- gine) or check all connectors atglow plug and glow plug relay(For Diesel Engine). Reconnect any that may be disconnected or loose.
3. Check fuel line in the engine room.
4. If engine still refuses to start, call a
Hyundai dealer or seek other quali- fied assistance.
WARNING:
If the engine will not start, do not push or pull the car to start it. This could result in a collision or causeother damage. In addition, push or pull starting may cause the cata- lytic converter to be overloaded andcreate a fire hazard.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
3JUMP STARTING
!
D020A02A-AAT
WARNING:
The gas produced by the battery during the jump-start operation is highly explosive. If these instruc- tions are not followed exactly, seri-ous personal injury and damage to the vehicle may occur! If you are not sure how to follow this proce-dure, seek qualified assistance. Automobile batteries contain sul- furic acid. This is poisonous andhighly corrosive. When jump start- ing, wear protective glasses and be careful not to get acid on yourself,your clothing or on the car. o If you should accidentally get acid
on your skin or in your eyes,immediately remove any contami- nated clothing and flush the area with clear water for at least 15 min-utes. Then promptly obtain medical attention. If you must be transported to an emergency facility, continue toapply water to the affected area with a sponge or cloth.
o The gas produced by the battery
during the jump-start operation ishighly explosive. Do not smoke or allow a spark or an open flame inthe vicinity.
o The battery being used to provide
the jump start must be 12-volt. If youcannot determine that it is a 12-volt battery, do not attempt to use it for the jump start.
o To jump start a car with a discharged battery, follow this procedure ex-actly:
1. If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, be sure the twovehicles are not touching. 2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and
acces-sories in both vehicles.
3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in the exact location shown inthe illustration. First, attach oneclamp of the jumper cable to the positive (+) post or cable of the discharged battery. Then attach theother end of the same cable to the positive (+) post or cable of the booster battery. Next, using theother cable, attach one clamp to the negative (-) post or cable of the booster battery. Then attach theother end of that cable to a solid metal part of the engine away from the battery. Do not connect the cableto any moving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the
booster battery and let it run for afew minutes. This will help to as- sure that the booster battery is fully charged. During the jumping opera-tion, run the engine in this vehicle at about 2000 rpm.

WARNING:
Batteries can be dangerous! When
working with batteries, carefully observe the following precautionsto avoid serious injuries. o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush
the affected areas with water for atleast 15 minutes and then seek medical assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse out your eyes with water and getmedical assistance as soon as possible. While you are being drivento get medical assistance, continue to rinse your eyes by using a sponge or soft cloth saturated withwater.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large quantity of water or milk fol- lowed by milk of magnesia, eat a raw egg or drink vegetable oil. Getmedical assistance as soon as possible.
While batteries are being charged (either by a battery charger or by thevehicle's alternator), they produce explosive gases. Always observe these warnings to prevent injuries fromoccurring:
o Charge batteries only in a well ven- tilated area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smoking in the area.
o Keep children away from the area.
The fluid in the battery contains a
strong solution of sulfuric acid, whichis poisonous and highly corrosive. Becareful not to spill it on yourself or the car. If you do spill battery fluid on yourself, immediately do the follow-ing:
CAUTION:
A burned-out fuse indicates that
there is a problem in the electricalcircuit. If you replace a fuse and it blows as soon as the accessory is turned on, the problem is seriousand should be referred to a Hyundai dealer for diagnosis and repair. Never replace a fuse withanything except a fuse with the same or a lower amperage rating. A higher capacity fuse could causedamage and create a fire hazard.
NOTE: See page 6-44 for the fuse panel

Low Oil Pressure Warn- ing Light
CAUTION:
If the oil pressure warning light stays on whilst the engine is running, se- rious engine damage may result. The oil pressure warning light comeson whenever there is insufficient oil pressure. 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.
