SB210K1-ELow Oil Pressure Warning Light
!CAUTION:
If the oil pressure warning light illu- minates when the engine is running,an insufficient oil pressure level for continued safe operation of the en- gine exists. Continued operation ofthe engine in this condition may result in serious engine damage. Under normal circumstances, the light will illuminate when the igni- tion is turned "on" and will be extin-guished when the engine is started. If the oil pressure warning light illu- minates whilst the engine is run-ning, stop the engine immediately and check the engine oil level. If the level is insufficient, add the required amount of oil as indicated by theengine oil dipstick. If the light fails to extinguish when the engine is re- started, do not continue to operatethe vehicle. If the oil pressure light illuminates during normal operation and thecause is not an insufficient oil level, or the light fails to illuminate when the ignition is turned "on", contactthe nearest Hyundai dealer before further operating the vehicle.
Warning Light Operation The parking brake/brake fluid level warn- ing light will be illuminated wheneverthe ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position irrespective of whether or not the parking brake is applied and mustbe 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 be added.If, after correcting the brake fluid level, the warning light continues to be illumi- nated, the advice of the nearest Hyundaidealer must be sought before the ve- hicle is driven again. Your Hyundai is equipped with a diago-nally split dual braking system which will ensure that in the event of one of the brake circuits becoming defective, ap-proximately 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
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 with ei-ther an electrical or hydraulic brak- ing system defect may be danger- ous, resulting in accident or per-sonal injury.

SB210M1-E Charging System Warning Light
The charging system warning light should illuminate when the ignitionswitch is turned to the "ON" position and should be extinguished when the engine is started. If the light fails toilluminate when the ignition is turned "ON" or fails to extinguish after starting the engine, the nearest Hyundai dealershould be contacted. If the light illumi- nates whilst the vehicle is being driven, stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe todo so and check the condition of the generator drive belt. If the belt is in SB2100I-E
Door Ajar Warning Light
The door ajar warning light indicates that a door is not correctly closed. Ensure that the light is extinguishedprior to driving the vehicle. SB210P1-E
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
The low fuel warning light serves to warn the driver that the remaining fuel quantity is approximately 9 litres andthat the vehicle should be refuelled. If the vehicle is driven for an extended period with the low fuel warning lightilluminated there exists a possibility that misfiring due to fuel shortage may occur. This situation must be avoidedto prevent damage to the catalyst oc- curring.
recommended to assist in bringing the vehicle to rest. The vehicle must not bedriven once brake failure has occurred until the system has been repaired and is functioning normally.The braking system employs a vacuum servo in order that the pedal efforts are reduced. Power for the servo is derivedfrom the engine and therefore, in the event of the engine stopping or the vehicle being towed, pedal efforts willbe substantially increased.
place and the tension is satisfactory, the advice of a Hyundai dealer shouldbe sought.
CAUTION:
If the drive belt (generator belt) is loose, broken, or missing whilst the vehicle is driving, there may be aserious malfunction, engine could overheat because this belt also drives the water pump.

B260N02FC-EAT Malfunction Indicator Light
This light illuminates when there is a malfunction of an exhaust gas related component, and the system is not func-tioning properly so that the exhaust gas regulation values are not satisfied. This light will illuminate when the ignition keyis tuned to the "ON" position, and will go out after the engine start. If it illumi- nates whilst driving, or does not illumi-nate when the ignition key is turned to

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
3JUMP STARTING
D010C01A-EAT If Engine Turns Over Normally but Does Not Start
1. Check fuel Level. 2. Check all connectors at ignition coil and spark plugs(For Gasoline En-gine) or check all connectors atglow plug and glow plug relay (For Diesel Engine). Replace any that may be discon-nected or loose.
3. Check fuel line in the engine com-
partment.
4. If engine still refuses to start, call a Hyundai dealer or seek other quali-fied assistance. D010C01AD010D01A-EAT If the Engine Stalls Whilst Driving
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keep-
ing a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try to start the engine again. If your
vehicle will not start, contact a Hyundai dealer or seek other quali- fied assistance.
CAUTION:
Personal injury and damage to the vehicle may occur if jump starting is not performed correctly. If anydoubt exists as to how this opera- tion should be performed, seek as- sistance from qualified personnel.

D030A01TB-EAT If the temperature gauge indicates overheating:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from thebonnet, stop the engine. Do not open the bonnet until the coolanthas stopped running or the steam- ing has stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant and no steam, leavethe engine running and check to be sure the engine cooling fan is oper- ating.If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not missing,check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satisfactory,check for coolant leaking from the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air conditioning had been in use,it is normal for cold water to be draining from it). WARNING:
Whilst the engine is running, keep hands and clothing away from mov-ing parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury.
WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 sec- onds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injectors andhigh pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the engine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious in- jury, if it touch the body. People using pacemakers should not movethan 12 in.(30 cm) closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room whilst engine is running, sincethe high currents in the Common Rail system produce considerable magnetic fields. 5. If the water pump drive belt is broken
or coolant is leaking out, stop theengine immediately and call the near- est Hyundai dealer for assistance.
!WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot since steam and boiling water may be ejected fromthe radiator resulting in burns or scalding.
6. If the cause of the overheating can- not be found, wait until the engine temperature has returned to nor- mal. Then, if coolant has been lost, carefully remove the radiator capand add water to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the base of the radiator fill opening. Fill the coolantexpansion tank to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution until it is es-
tablished that the engine is operat-ing normally. If the engine over- heats repeatedly, the advice of a Hyundai dealer should be sought.
