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.
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 malfunc-
tion. 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 malfunction
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.

as possible.Parking brake warning chime

Low Oil Pressure Warning
Light
CAUTION:
If the low oil pressure warning light stays
on while the engine is running, serious
engine damage may result. The oil pres-
sure warning light comes on whenever
there is insufficient oil pressure. In nor-
mal operation, it should illuminate when
the ignition switch is turned on, then go
out when the engine is started. If the oil
pressure warning light stays on while
the engine is running, there is a serious
malfunction.
If this happens, stop the car as soon as
it is safe to do so, turn off the engine and
check the oil level. If the oil level is low,
fill the engine oil to the proper level and
start the engine again. If the light stays
on with the engine running, turn the en-
gine off immediately. In any instance
where the oil light stays on when the
engine is running, the engine should be
checked by a Hyundai dealer before the
car is driven again.

CAUTION:
o Do not install a ski rack, antenna, etc.
which are attached to the vehicle by
means of a magnet. They affect the
operation of the compass.
o If the compass deviates from the cor-
rect indication soon after repeated
adjustment, have the compass
checked at an authorized dealer.

correct indication in tunnels or while
driving up or down a steep hill.(The
compass returns to the correct com-
pass point when the vehicle moves to
an area where the geomagnetism is
