B260J01S-GATCharging System Warning Light
The charging system warning light should come on when the ignition isturned on, then go out when the engine is running. If the light stays on while the engine is running, there is a malfunctionin the electrical charging system. If the light comes on while you are driving, stop, turn off the engine and checkunder the hood. First, make certain the generator drive belt is in place. If it is, check the tension of the belt.And then, have the system checked by your Hyundai dealer.
starts. If the light comes on at any other time, you should slow the vehicle andbring it to a complete stop in a safe location off the roadway. The brake fluid level warning light indi-cates that the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder is low and hy- draulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3or DOT 4 specifications should be added. After adding fluid, if no other trouble is found, the car should be immediatelyand carefully driven to a Hyundai dealer for inspection. If further trouble is expe- rienced, the vehicle should not be drivenat all but taken to a dealer by a professional towing service or some other safe method.Your Hyundai is equipped with dual- diagonal braking systems. This means you still have braking on two wheelseven if one of the dual systems should fail. With only one of the dual systems working, more than normal pedal traveland greater pedal pressure are required to stop the car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a distance with only halfof the brake system working. If the brakes fail while you are driving, shift to a lower gear for additional engine brak-ing and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so.
CAUTION:
If the drive belt (generator belt) is loosen, broken, or mission while the vehicle is driving, there may be a serious malfunction, engine couldoverheat because this belt also drives the water pump.! B260M01A-AAT
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
The low fuel level warning light comes on when the fuel tank is approachingempty. When it comes on, you should add fuel as soon as possible. Driving with the fuel level warning light on orwith the fuel level below "E" can cause the engine to misfire and damage the catalytic converter.
B260L02HP-GAT Door Ajar Warning Light and Chime (If Installed)
The door ajar warning light warns you that a door is not completely closed and the chime warns you that the key is inthe ignition switch. NOTE : The warning chime only sounds whenever the key is in the ignition switch and the driver's side frontdoor is open simultaneously. The chime sounds until the key is re- moved from the ignition switch or the driver's side front door is closed.

System
The exhaust emission control system
is a highly effective system which controls exhaust emission while main- taining good vehicle performance. SH020A1-E
; For a petrol engine
Hyundai Accent models are fitted with
catalytic convertors which requirespecial operating considerations. Thecatalytic convertor serves to oxidize certain noxious elements of the ex- haust gases leaving the engine toreduce the level of pollutants emitted from the vehicle and, provided that care is exercised to prevent damage,the catalyst will operate efficiently for the life of the vehicle.
It is of the utmost importance that the
following information is read and un- derstood by the vehicle operator inorder to prevent operational problems arising from damage to the catalyst. Damage to the catalyst will result if
contamination occurs through the use of leaded fuel. Whilst the vehicle is fitted with a reduced diameter filler neck to prevent charging of the fueltank with a leaded fuel pump nozzle, it is possible that the use of funnels or jerry cans will permit leaded fuel to beintroduced into the fuel tank. The catalyst is intolerant of unburnt
fuel and therefore if an engine misfirecondition exists, damage to the cata- lyst will occur. It is imperative that if a misfire condition develops, the ve-hicle is immediately presented to a Hyundai dealer for rectification. Simi- larly, the practice of certain ignitionsystem diagnosis procedures which involve inducing a misfire (cylinder power balance tests for example) mayresult in catalyst damage. For these reasons, it is advisable that
the exhaust gas emission be tested at each routine service with a gas analyzer having a Hydrocarbon mea-suring facility to ensure continued reliability of the catalyst.

H020D01S-GAT
; For a diesel engine
All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with oxidation type catalytic converter to reduce the carbon monoxide, hy- drocarbons and particulate containedin the exhaust gas.
H020C01S-GAT
; For a diesel engine
This system helps control oxides ofnitrogen by recirculating a part of theexhaust gas into the engine.
Care must also be exercised to avoiddriving over road hazards or debriswhich may cause damage to the cata- lyst element.
Push or tow starting of the vehicle is to be avoided since unburnt fuel maybe enter the catalyst and result in damage. (Note, it is impossible to push or tow start a Hyundai modelequipped with fuel injection since the fuel pump safety interlock will prevent the pump from operating under theseconditions).Operation of the catalyst involvesextremely high temperatures beingattained within the catalytic conver- tor, and although the convertor is fitted with heat shields, it is importantthat the vehicle is not parked over combustible or volatile material which may result in fire.If the above precautions are not ad-hered to and the catalyst becomesinoperative, the resultant increase in core temperature will result in a "melt down" where the catalyst core willmelt and subsequently may block the exhaust system. Due to the fragile nature of the cata- lyst element, it is important that dam- age does not occur when the vehicle is raised by means of a garage jack.
