WARNING AND INDICATOR
LIGHTS
!
B260P02Y-GAT
ABS Service Reminder Indi-
cator (SRI) (If Installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" posi-
tion, 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 pos-
sible. The normal braking system will still
be operational, but without the assis-
tance of the anti-lock brake system.
WARNING:
If 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).
If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and
have your vehicle checked by your
Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.
B260C01A-AAT
O/D OFF Indicator
(Automatic Transaxle only)
When the overdrive switch is turned on,
the overdrive off indicator will go out. This
amber indicator will be illuminated when
the overdrive switch is turned off.B260D01A-AAT
Turn Signal Indicator
Lights
The blinking green arrow on the instru-
ment panel shows the direction indicated
by the turn signals. If the arrow comes on
but does not blink, blinks more rapidly
than normal, or does not blink at all, a
malfunction in the turn signal system is
indicated. Your dealer should be con-
sulted for repairs.B260F01A-AAT
High Beam Indicator Light
The high beam indicator light comes on
whenever the headlights are switched to
the high beam or flash position.
B260B01JM-AAT
SRS (Airbag) Warning Light
The SRS warning light comes on for
approximately 6 seconds after the key is
turned 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 AIR BAG warn-
ing light does not come on, or continu-
ously remains on after operating 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 authorized
Hyundai dealer.

USE OF LIGHTSC180A01A-AATCheck your lights regularly for correct
operation and always keep them clean.
When driving during the day in conditions
of poor visibility, it is helpful to drive with
headlights on low beam. This enables
you to be seen, as well as to see.
HIGHER SPEED MOTORINGC170A02A-AATPre-Trip Inspections1. Tires:
Adjust the tire inflation pressures for high-
way driving. Low tire inflation pressures
will result in overheating and possible
failure of the tires.
Avoid using worn or damaged tires which
may result in reduced traction or tire fail-
ure.NOTE:Never exceed the maximum tire infla-
tion pressure shown on the tires.
WARNING:
o Underinflated or overinflated tires
can cause poor handling, loss of ve-
hicle control, and sudden tire failure
leading to accidents, injuries, and
even death. Always check tires are
properly inflated before driving. Refer
to pages 2-20 and 8-3 for proper tire
pressures and further information.2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil:
High speed travel consumes more fuel
than urban motoring. Do not forget to
check both engine coolant and engine
oil.
3. Drive belt:
A loose or damaged drive belt may result
in overheating of the engine. o Driving on tires with no or insuffi-
cient tread is dangerous. Worn-out
tires can result in loss of vehicle
control, collisions, injury, and even
death. Worn-out tires should be re-
placed as soon as possible and
should never be used for driving.
Always check tire tread before driv-
ing your car. Refer to 8-12 for further
information and tread limits.
