size, and he/she sits properly (sitting upright
with the seatback in an upright position, cen-
tered on the seat cushion with their seat belt on,
legs comfortably extended and their feet on the

The blinking green arrows on the instrument
panel show the direction indicated by the turn
signals. If the arrow comes on but does not blink,
blinks more rapidly than normal, or does not
illuminate at all, a malfunction in the turn signal

tion and whether the system is in operation or

WARNING:
Significantly low tire pressure makes the
vehicle unstable and can contribute to loss
of vehicle control and increased braking
distances.
Continued driving on low pressure tires will
cause the tires to overheat and fail.B260W02JM-GAT
Low tire pressure telltale
The low tire pressure telltale comes on for 3
seconds after the ignition key is turned to the
"ON" position.
If the warning light does not come on, or continu-
ously remains on after coming on for about 3
seconds when you turned the ignition key to the
"ON" position, the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System is not working properly. If this occurs,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized
Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.
This warning light will also illuminate if one or
more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
You should stop and check your tires as soon
as possible. If the warning light illuminates while
driving, reduce vehicle speed immediately and
stop the vehicle. Avoid hard braking and over-
correcting at the steering wheel. Inflate the tires
to the proper pressure as indicated on the
vehicle’s tire information placard.

ing System) malfunction indi-
cator

seconds after the ignition key is turned to the
"ON" position. If the warning light does not come
on, or continuously remains on after coming on
for about 3 seconds when you turned the ignition
key to the "ON" position, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System is not working properly. If
this occurs, have your vehicle checked by an
authorized Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.
The warning light also comes on and stays on
when there is a problem with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System.
If this happens, the system may not monitor the

Charging System Warning Light
The charging system warning light should come
on when the ignition is turned on, then go out
when the engine is running. If the light stays on
while the engine is running, there is a malfunc-
tion in the electrical charging system. If the light
comes on while you are driving, stop, turn off the
engine and check under the hood. First, make
certain the generator drive belt is in place. If it is,
check the tension of the belt. Do this as shown
on page 6-19 by pushing down on the center of
the belt. Have the system checked by your
Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.

working properly. If the SRI does not come on,
or continuously remains on after coming on for

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.

ABS Service Reminder Indica-
tor (SRI)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the
Anti-Lock Brake System SRI 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 possible. The
normal braking system will still be operational,
but without the assistance of the anti-lock brake
system.

If the both 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).
