B260H02A-AAT
Parking Brake/Low Brake
Fluid Level Warning Light
Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-di-
agonal braking systems. This means you
still have braking on two wheels even if
one of the dual systems should fail. With
only one of the dual systems working,
more than normal pedal travel and greater
pedal pressure are required to stop the
car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a
distance with only half of the brake system
working. If the brakes fail while you are
driving, shift to a lower gear for additional
engine braking and stop the car as soon as
it is safe to do so.
WARNING:
If you suspect brake trouble, have your
brakes checked by a Hyundai dealer as
soon as possible. Driving your car with
a problem in either the brake electrical
system or brake hydraulic system is
dangerous, and could result in a serious
injury or death.
Warning Light OperationThe parking brake/brake fluid level warn-
ing light should come on when the parking
brake is applied and the ignition switch is
turned to "ON" or "START". After the engine
is started, the light should go out when the
parking brake is released.
If the parking brake is not applied, the
warning light should come on when the
ignition switch is turned to "ON" or "START",
then go out when the engine starts. If the
light comes on at any other time, you should
slow the vehicle and bring 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 hydraulic brake
fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 speci-
fications should be added. After adding
fluid, if no other trouble is found, the car
should be immediately and carefully driven
to a Hyundai dealer for inspection. If further
trouble is experienced, the vehicle should
not be driven at all but taken to a dealer by
a professional towing service.

B260B01JM-AAT
SRS (Airbag) Warning Light
The SRS warning light comes on for ap-
proximately 6 seconds after the key is
turned to the "ON" position or after the
engine is started, after which it will go out.
This light also comes on when the SRS is
not working properly. If the AIRBAG warn-
ing light does not come on, or continuously
remains on after operating for about 6
seconds when you turned the ignition key
to the "ON" position or started the engine,
or if it comes on while driving, have the
SRS inspected by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
If your vehicle is equipped with the super-
vision type cluster, the warning text is dis-
played above the odometer. The warning
text comes on for about 20 seconds. If you
push the RESET button behind the steer-
ing wheel, the warning text will go out.
B260P01TG B260P01TG-GAT
ABS Service Reminder
Indicator (SRI) (If Installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position,
the Anti-Lock Brake System indicator will
come on and then go off in a few 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 vehicle checked
by your Hyundai dealer as soon as pos-
sible. The normal braking system will still
be operational, but without the assistance
of the anti-lock brake system.
!
WARNING:
If both the ABS SRI and Parking Brake/
Brake fluid level warning lights remain
"ON" or come on while driving, there
may be a problem 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 as possible.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
15
o Take care of your tires. Keep them in-
flated to the recommended pressure.
Incorrect inflation, either too much or
too little, results in unnecessary tire
wear. Check the tire pressures at least
once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned
correctly. Improper alignment can re-
sult from hitting curbs or driving too fast
over irregular surfaces. Poor alignment
causes faster tire wear and may also
result in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption.
o Keep your car in good condition. For
better fuel economy and reduced main-
tenance costs, maintain your car in ac-
cordance with the maintenance sched-
ule in Section 5. If you drive your car in
severe conditions, more frequent main-
tenance is required (see Section 5 for
details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum
service, your Hyundai should be kept
clean and free of corrosive materials. It
is especially important that mud, dirt,
ice, etc. not be allowed to accumulate
on the underside of the car. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel con-
sumption and also contribute to corro-
sion.o Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary
weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel
economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than
necessary. If you are waiting (and not in
traffic), turn off your engine and restart
only when you're ready to go.
o Remember, your Hyundai does not re-
quire extended warm-up. After the en-
gine has started, allow the engine to run
for 10 to 20 seconds prior to placing the
vehicle in gear. In very cold weather,
however, give your engine a slightly
longer warm-up period.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine.
Lugging is driving too slowly in too high
a gear resulting in the engine bucking.
If this happens, shift to a lower gear.
Over-revving is racing the engine be-
yond its safe limit. This can be avoided
by shifting at the recommended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The
air conditioning system is operated by
engine power so your fuel economy is
reduced when you use it.
SMOOTH CORNERINGC150A01A-AATAvoid braking or gear changing in corners,
especially when roads are wet. Ideally,
corners should always be taken under
gentle acceleration. If you follow these
suggestions, tire wear will be held to a
minimum.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
11
D060J02O-AATAfter Changing Wheels
If you have a tire gauge, remove the
valve cap and check the air pressure. If
the pressure is lower than recom-
mended, drive slowly to the nearest
service station and inflate to the correct
pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until Wheel nut tightening torque:

65-80 lb.ft (900-1,100 kg.cm)
D060J01TG-A
it is correct. Always reinstall the valve
cap after checking or adjusting tire
pressure. If the cap is not replaced, air
may leak from the tire. If you lose a
valve cap, buy another and install it as
soon as possible.
After you have changed wheels, al-
ways secure the flat tire in its place and
return the jack and tools to their proper
storage locations.
IF YOUR VEHICLE MUST BE
TOWEDD080A01O-GATIf your vehicle has to be towed, it should be
done by your Hyundai dealer or a commer-
cial tow truck service. This will help assure
that your vehicle is not damaged in towing.
Also, professionals are generally aware of
local laws governing towing. In any case,
rather than risk damage to your car, it is
suggested that you show this information
to the tow truck operator. Be sure that a
safety chain system is used and that all
local laws are observed.
It is recommended that your vehicle be
towed with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment with all the wheels off the
ground.
!
CAUTION:
o Your vehicle can be damaged if towed
incorrectly!
o Be sure the transaxle is in neutral.
o When the engine will not start, be sure
the steering is unlocked by placing
the key in the "ACC" position.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS2
F010C01A-AATSpecified Scheduled ProceduresThese are the procedures such as inspec-
tions, adjustments and replacements that
are listed in the maintenance charts start-
ing on page 5-4. These procedures must
be performed at the intervals shown in the
maintenance schedule to assure that your
warranty remains in effect. Although it is
strongly recommended that they be per-
formed by the trained technicians at your
Hyundai dealer, these procedures may be
performed at any qualified service facility.
It is suggested that genuine Hyundai ser-
vice parts be used for any required repairs
or replacements. Other parts of equivalent
quality such as engine oil, engine coolant,
manual or auto transaxle oil, brake fluid
and so on which are not supplied by
Hyundai Motor Company or its distributor
may be used without affecting your war-
ranty coverage but you should always be
sure these are equivalent to the quality of
the original Hyundai parts. Your Owner's
Handbook provides further information
about your warranty coverage.
F010A01A-AATService RequirementsTo ensure that you receive the greatest
number of miles of satisfying operation
from your Hyundai, certain maintenance
procedures must be performed. Although
careful design and engineering have re-
duced these to a minimum, those that are
required are of the utmost importance.
It is your responsibility to have these main-
tenance procedures performed to comply
with the terms of the warranties covering
your new Hyundai. The Owner's Hand-
book supplied with your new vehicle pro-
vides further information about these war-
ranties.
F010B01A-AATMaintenance RequirementsThe maintenance required for your
Hyundai can be divided into three main
areas:
o Specified scheduled procedures
o General checks
o Do-it-yourself maintenance

SCHEDULED MAINTE-
NANCE REQUIREMENTSF020A02Y-AATo Inspection should be performed any
time a malfunction is experienced or
suspected.
o Receipts for all emission control system
services should be retained to demon-
strate compliance with conditions of the
emissions system warranty.
o After 120 months or 150,000 miles
(240,000 km), continue to follow the
prescribed maintenance intervals.
o For severe usage maintenance require-
ments, see page 5-6 of this section.
F010D02A-AATGeneral ChecksThese are the regular checks you should
perform when you drive your Hyundai or
you fill the fuel tank. A list of these items will
be found on page 6-3.F010E01A-AATDo-It-Yourself MaintenanceIf you are mechanically inclined, own a few
tools that are required and want to take the
time to do so, you can inspect and service
a number of items. For more information
about doing it yourself, see Section 6.
F010F01A-AATA Few Tipso Whenever you have your Hyundai ser-
viced, keep copies of the service records
in your glove box. This will help ensure
that you can document that the required
procedures have been performed to
keep your warranties in effect. This is
especially important when service is
not performed by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
o If you choose to do your own mainte-
nance and repairs, you may find it
helpful to have an official Hyundai Shop
Manual. A copy of this publication may
be purchased at your Hyundai dealer's
parts department.
