signals on the left side of the car to blink.
Pushing upwards on the lever causes the
turn signals on the right side of the car to
blink. As the turn is completed, the lever
will automatically return to the center posi-
tion and turn off the turn signals at the same
time. If either turn signal indicator light
blinks more rapidly than usual, goes on but
does not blink, or does not go on at all,
there is a malfunction in the system. Check
for a burned-out fuse or bulb or see your
Hyundai dealer.
