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 malfunction in the
electrical charging system. If the light
comes on while you are driving, have the
system checked by your Hyundai dealer
as soon as possble.
B260M01A-AAT
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
The low fuel level warning light comes on
when the fuel tank is approaching empty.
When it comes on, you should add fuel as
soon as possible. Driving with the fuel
level warning light on or with the fuel level
below "E" can cause the engine to misfire
and damage the catalytic converter.
B260L02HP-GAT
Door Ajar Warning Light
and Chime
The door ajar warning light warns you
that a door is not completely closed and
the chime warns you that the key is in the
ignition switch.NOTE :The warning chime only sounds when-
ever the key is in the ignition switch and
the driver's side front door is open simul-
taneously. The chime sounds until the
key is removed from the ignition switch
or the driver's side front door is closed.

Trunk Lid/Tail Gate
Open Warning Light
This light remains on unless the trunk lid/
tail gate is completely closed and latched.B260O01MC-AAT
Check Fuel Filler Cap Warn-
ing Light
This warning light indicates the fuel filler
cap is not tight securely.
Always make sure that the fuel filler cap
is tight.
If the light comes on at any 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 indicates that the brake fluid level in
the brake master cylinder is low and
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 dealer
for inspection. If further trouble is experi-
enced, the vehicle should not be driven at
all but taken to a dealer by a professional
towing service.
Your vehicle is equipped with a dual-
diagonal braking system. This means you
still have braking on two wheels even if
one of the brake circuits is damaged or
malfunctions. With only one of the circuits
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 a portion
of the brake system working. If the brakes
fail 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.
