B260H02A-GAT Parking Brake/Low Brake Fluid Level Warning Light
WARNING:
If you suspect brake trouble, have your brakes checked by a Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. Driving your car with a problem in either thebrake electrical system or brake hy- draulic system is dangerous, and could result in a serious injury or death.
Warning Light Operation The parking brake/low brake fluid level warning light should come on when theparking brake is applied and the ignition switch is turned to "ON" or "START". After the engine is started, the lightshould go out when the parking brake is released. If the parking brake is not applied, the warning light should comeon when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" or "START", then go out when the engine starts. If the light comes on atany other time, you should slow the vehicle and bring it to a complete stop in a safe location off the roadway. The brake fluid level warning light indi-cates that the brake fluid level in thebrake master cylinder is low and hy- draulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications should be added.After adding fluid, if no other trouble is found, the car should be immediately and carefully driven to a Hyundai dealerfor inspection. If further trouble is expe- rienced, the vehicle should not be driven at all but taken to a dealer by aprofessional towing service or some other safe method. Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal braking systems. This means you still have braking on two wheels even if one of the dual systems shouldfail. With only one of the dual systems working, more than normal pedal travel and greater pedal pressure are requiredto stop the car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a distance with only half of the brake system working. If thebrakes fail while you are driving, shift to a lower gear for additional engine brak- ing and stop the car as soon as it is safeto do so.
