Low Oil Pressure Warning
LightCAUTION:
If the oil pressure warning light stays on
while the engine is running, serious en-
gine damage may result. The oil pres-
sure warning light comes on whenever
there is insufficient oil pressure. In nor-
mal operation, it should come on when
the ignition switch is turned on, then go
out when the engine is started. If the oil
pressure warning light stays on while
the engine is running, there is a serious
malfunction.
If this happens, stop the car as soon as
it is safe to do so, turn off the engine and
check the oil level. If the oil level is low,
fill the engine oil to the proper level and
start the engine again. If the light stays
on with the engine running, turn the en-
gine off immediately. In any instance
where the oil light stays on when the
engine is running, the engine should be
checked by a Hyundai dealer before the
car is driven again.

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.
