Charging System Warning Light
The charging system warning light should come on when the ignition isturned 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 driv- ing, stop, turn off the engine and checkunder the hood. First, make certain the generator drive belt is in place. If it is, check the tension of the belt.And then, have the system checked by your Hyundai dealer.
CAUTION:
If the drive belt (generator belt) is loosen, broken, or mission while the vehicle is driving, there may be a serious malfunction, engine couldoverheat because this belt also drives the water pump.!
time, you should slow the vehicle and bring it to a complete stop in a safelocation 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 a profes-sional 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. CAUTION:
The parking brake/low brake fluid warning light should also come on when the vacuum level in brakebooster descends to about 275 mmHg or below. The brake system is de- signed to stop the vehicle with re-serve assist if brake pedal is held down. This reserve is greatly reduced each time you release the brake.Without vacuum assist your vehicle can still be stopped by pushing much harder on brake pedal, however thestopping distance may be much longer. If the light comes on at any other time, you should slow the ve-hicle and bring it to a complete stop in a safe location off the roadway. After starting the engine, do not drivethe vehicle until the vacuum level is above 275 mmHg below atmosphere and warning light has turned off. Iffurther trouble is experienced, the vehicle should not be driven at all but taken to a dealer by a profes-sional towing service.

!WARNING:
o Make sure to refuel your vehicle according to the "Fuel require- ments" suggested in section 1.
o Fuel vapors are dangerous. Be-
fore refueling, always stop theengine and never allow sparks or open flames near the tank area. If you need to replace the tank cap,use a genuine Hyundai replace- ment part. If you open the fuel tank cap dur-ing high ambient temperatures, a slight "pressure sound" may be heard. This is normal and not acause for concern. Whenever you open the fuel tank cap, turn it slowly.
o Automotive fuels are flammable/ explosive materials. When refuel-ing, please note the followingguidelines carefully.
- Before touching the fuel nozzle or
fuel tank cap, have one's hands incontact with metal parts away from the tank neck to discharge static electricity.
FUEL TANK CAP
B560A03HR-GAT
The fuel tank cap is located at the left side of the vehicle body. The fuel tank cap can be unlocked by turning the key counterclockwise.To lock the fuel tank cap, turn it clock- wise until it locks into place. NOTE: If the fuel tank cap will not open because ice has formed around it, tap lightly on the cap to break the iceand release the cap. If necessary, spray around the cap with an ap- proved de-icer fluid (do not use ra-diator anti-freeze) or move the ve- hicle to a warm place and allow the ice to melt. HHR2036
- Do not get back in the vehicle
while refueling. Do not operateanything that can produce static electricity. Static electricity dis- charge can ignite fuel vapors re-sulting in an explosion.
- When using a portable fuel con-
tainer, be sure to place the con-tainer on the ground while refuel- ing. Static electricity discharge from the container can ignite fuelvapors causing a fire. While start- ing refueling, contact should be maintained until the filling is com-plete.
- Do not use cellular phones around
a gas station. The electric currentor electronic interference from cel- lular phones can ignite fuel va- pors causing a fire.
- When refueling, always turn the engine off. Sparks by engine com-partment electrical equipment canignite fuel vapors causing a fire. After refueling, check to make sure the fuel tank cap is securely closed,and then start the engine.
- Do not smoke or try to light ciga-
rettes around a gas station. Auto-motive fuels are flammable.
