SB210L2-E
Parking Brake/Low Brake Fluid Level Warning Light WARNING:
In the event of problems being sus- pected with the braking system, the advice of the nearest Hyundai authorised repairer must be soughtbefore the vehicle is driven. Driving the vehicle with either an electrical or hydraulic braking system defectmay be dangerous, resulting in acci- dent or personal injury. Warning light operation The parking brake/low brake fluid level warning light will be illuminated when-ever the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position irrespective of whether or not the parking brake is applied andmust be 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 con- forming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifica-tions should be added. If, after correct- ing the brake fluid level, the warning light continues to be illuminated, theadvice of the nearest Hyundai authorised repairer must be sought before the ve- hicle is driven again.The Hyundai Matrix is equipped with a diagonally split dual braking system which will ensure that in the event ofone of the brake circuits becoming defective, approximately fifty per cent of the normal braking performance willbe available.

Overdrive Off Indicator
Light (Not all models)
When the overdrive (4th gear) switch is turned off and the operation of overdrive(4th gear) is cancelled, the overdrive warning light (O/D OFF) will be illumi- nated. When the switch is at the onposition, the gearbox will operate in the normal fully automatic mode and the warning light will be extinguished. 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 recommended to assist in bringing thevehicle to rest. The vehicle must not be driven once brake failure has occurred until the system has been repaired andis functioning normally. The braking system employs a vacuum servo in order that the pedal efforts arereduced. Power for the servo is derived from the engine and therefore, in the event of the engine stopping or thevehicle being towed, pedal efforts will be substantially increased.

B340C03FC-EAT Lighting Switch The vehicle sidelights and headlights are operated by rotating the end of the turn signal switch barrel. To operate the parking lights, rotating the switch to thefirst detent with ignition switch at the"OFF" position will cause the lights toilluminate. To operate the headlights,the turn signal switch barrel should be rotated to the second detent. The head- lights will only operate when the ignitionswitch is at the "ON" position. If theignition switch is turned to the "OFF" position, only the parking lights will function. NOTE: The ignition must be in the "ON" position to turn on the headlights.MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH
SB220A1-E Turn Signal Operation To signal an intention to turn right, the switch lever should be pressed down.To signal an intention to turn left, the switch lever should be pushed upwards. In both instances, the turn signal lightsthe instrument cluster warning light will flash. Upon completion of the manoeu- vre, the lever will, under normal circum-
stances, return to the "OFF" position. However, if the manoeuvre involved only a small movement of the steeringwheel, the signal may need to be can- celled manually. If either turn signal indicator flashes more rapidly than nor-mal or refuses to flash at all, a malfunc- tion of the turn signal system may exist. SB220B1-E Lane Change Signal To indicate an intention to change lanes, moving the lever slightly towards the direction of the relevant turn signal will cause the turn signal lights to flash.When the lever is released, it will return to the "OFF" position.
