ABS Warning Light
This warning light comes on
when the ignition switch is
turned to "ON" position and
should go out if the system is
normal.
The vehicle with ABS performs
self-diagnosis. During this
diagnosis, brake pedal
vibration and noise may be
apparent when the driving
motors discharges the
hydraulic pressure from the
internal hydraulic device.4WD IndicatorLow Fuel Level
Warnig Light
This warning light
comes on when the
fuel will soon be
exhausted. The time
it takes turn on,
however, varies
according to the
gradient of the
vehicle.
4WD HIGH Indicator
The lamp blinks momentarily during
the change of driving mode.
4WD LOW Indicator
The lamp blinks momentarily during
the change of driving mode.
4WD CHECK Warning Light
This indicates that there is
something wrong in the transfer
case system. (check the system) -

Auto Cruise Control
Indicator
Operating the cruise
control switch turns on
the indicator lamp to
indicate the cruise
control system is
activated.
Water Separator Warning Light
This lamp comes on to warn the driver of
water in the fuel tank which causes the
loss of engine power. When a certain
amount of water is accumulated, the lamp
comes on and a chime sounds.
Engine CHECK Warning Light
This warning light comes on when
the ignition switch is turned to "ON"
position and should go out if the
system related to engine control is
normal.
This comes on when different
sensors and devices related to
engine control are defective.
Winter Mode
Indicator
Pressing the "W" side of the
automatic transmission mode
selector switch switches the
driving mode to winter mode and
turns on the indicator lamp.
Use this mode to drive off
smoothly on icy and slippery
roads.
Charge Warning Light
This warning light comes on when the
ignition switch is turned on and go off
when the engine is started.
If this light doesn't go off after engine
starting, it means there is a malfunction in
the system.
Engine Hood Open Warning Light
When the engine hood is open, this light
comes on to inform the driver.

This section describes the noise phenomena occurred possibly in the brake system operation.
Distinguish between the information given below and the actual problems and then, inspect the
vehicle and take appropriate measures.
Noise symptoms and Causes -
Symptom 1. If depressing the brake pedal when the engine is cold, "screeching" sound always
occurs and, after driving for a while, the sound disappears..
This usually occurs in the morning. When the temperature goes down, the dew condensation
phenomenon sets moisture on the brake disc as the window frost forms. Due to this moisture, the
iron within the brake disc and pad oxidizes, forming undetectable micro-rusts on the disc
surface. When starting the engine under this condition, noise may sound due to the friction of
micro-rusts. When operating the brake several times, the disc temperature goes up and the
micro-rusts come off and the noise goes away. Depending on the driving conditions, noise gets
louder when slightly depressing the brake pedal and oppositely, noise is smaller when deeply
depressing the brake pedal. This is simply a physical phenomenon, called "morning effect" in
professional terms, and does not imply any problems with the brake system.
Symptom 2. Slip or screech after the brake pad replacement.
This usually occurs when the bed-in is not made between the disc and the pad's friction material.
The bed-in is a state that the brake system normally works and gives no noise out, when, after
about 300 km city driving, the contact area of the pad friction material is enlarged and the disk is
in complete contact with the pad's friction material. Therefore, for some time after the brake
disk/pad replacement, the brake system poorly operates or noise (abnormal sound) occurs due
to the partial contact.
Symptom 3. "Groaning" sound occurs in the automatic transmission vehicle when slightly taking
the foot off the brake pedal to slowly start after waiting for the signal, or slightly depressing the
brake pedal.
This is the noise "Creep groan" that occurs when, in both the automatic and manual transmission,
slightly releasing the brake pedal in the neutral gear at downhill roads.
It frequently occurs at the low braking power and low speed, through the following process. When
operating the brake system at low speed and low pressure, adhesion and slip repeatedly take
place between the brake disk and the friction material, and this makes the braking power
inconstant, instantly increasing or decreasing, and gives out the brake noise.
It is also a physical phenomenon and has no relation with the brake performance.BRAKE OPERATION AND NOISE ▶
