8WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS
B260B01S-GAT SRS (Airbag) Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)(If installed)
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) comes on and flashes for about 6 seconds after the ignition key isturned 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 SRI doesnot come on, or continuously remains on after flashing 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 authorizedHyundai Dealer.
C130N02Y-GAT Anti-lock Brake Warning
Light (If installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the ABS light will come onand then go off in a few seconds. If the ABS light remains on, comes on while driving, or does not come onwhen 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 possible. The normal brakingsystem will still be operational, but without the assistance of the anti-lock brake system.C130I01P-GAT Overdrive/Off Indicator (If installed)
When the overdrive switch is turned on and 4th gear is engaged, the overdriveoff indicator will go out. This amber indicator will be illuminated when the overdrive switch is turned off.(Automatic tranmission only)
C130F01P-GAT Turn-signal Indication Lamps
These indication lamps blink on and off when a turn-signal lamp is blinking. Ifthe blinking is too short, the cause may be a faulty turn-signal lamp connection or a blown lamp bulb.
C130G01P-GAT High-beam Indication Lamp
This indication lamp illuminates when the high beams are on.
!WARNING:
If both the ABS SRI and Parking Brake/Brake fluid level warning lights remain "ON" or come on whiledriv ing, there may be a problem with
E.B.D (Electronic brake force distri-
bution). If this occurs, avoid suddenstops and have your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.

D140A02P-GAT ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) (If installed) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-upduring sudden braking or on hazard- ous road surfaces. A computer moni- tors the wheel speed and controls thepressure applied to each brake. Thus, in emergency situations or on slick roads, your ABS will increase vehiclecontrol during braking. NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pul- sation may be felt in the brake pedalwhen the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the engine compartment while driving. Theseconditions are normal and indicate that the anti-lock brake system is functioning properly. WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents dueto improper or dangerous driving maneuvers. Even though vehicle control is improved during emer-gency braking, always maintain a safe distance between you and ob- jects ahead. Vehicle speeds shouldalways be reduced during extreme road conditions. The braking distance for carsequipped with an anti-lock braking system may be longer than for those without it in the following road con-ditions. During these conditions, the ve- hicle should be driven at reducedspeeds:
o On rough, gravel or snow-cov- ered roads.
o With tire chains installed.
o On roads where the road surface
is pitted or has different surface height.
D130A01P-GAT LOADING Loading should not be to the point at which the Maximum Gross VehicleWeight is exceeded. Loading should be as uniform as pos- sible.Driving stability will be reduced if the load is unequal between front/rear or left/right.Avoid sudden starts, sudden braking, and sharp cornering.

The safety features of an ABS equipped vehicle should not be tested by high speed driving or cornering. This could endanger thesafety of yourself or others.

D110A01P-GAT GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES
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 engagedand 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 vehicle is washed. Your vehicle may not stop as quickly if thebrakes are wet and it may also pull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes lightly until the brakingaction returns to normal, taking care to keep the vehicle under control at all times. If the braking action doesnot return to normal, stop as soon as it is safe to do so and call your Hyundai dealer for assistance. o Don’t coast down hills with the ve-
hicle out of gear. This may be ex-tremely hazardous. Keep the vehicle in gear at all times, use the brakes to slow down, thenshift to a lower gear so that engine braking will help you maintain a safe speed.
o Don’t "ride" the brake pedal. Rest- ing your foot on the brake pedalwhile driving can be dangerous be-cause it can result in the brakes overheating and losing their effec- tiveness. It also increases the wearof the brake components.
o If a tire goes flat while you are
driving, apply the brakes gently andkeep the vehicle pointed straight ahead while you slow down. When you are moving slowly enough for itto be safe to do so, pull off the road and stop in a safe place.
o If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, don’t letyour vehicle creep forward. To avoid creeping forward, keepyour foot on the brake pedal when the vehicle is stopped.
