If the steering wheel does not lock nor-
mally when the ENGINE START/STOP
button turns to the OFF position, the

onds and then illuminate. Also, the warn-ing chime will sound.
✽✽ NOTICE
If the icy road warning light appears
while driving, you should drive more
attentively and safely refraining from
over-speeding, rapid acceleration, sud-
den braking or sharp turning, etc.
Warnings and indicators
All warning lights are checked by turning
the ignition switch ON (do not start the
engine). If any light that does not illumi-
nate, we recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
After starting the engine, check to make
sure that all warning lights are off. If anyare still on, this indicates a situation that

Features of your vehicle
Air bag warning light
This warning light will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds each time you
turn the ignition switch to the ON posi-tion. This light also comes on when the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is
not working properly.
If the SRS air bag warning light does not
come on, or continuously remains on
after operating for about 6 seconds when
you turned the ignition switch to the ON
position or started the engine, or if it
comes on while driving, we recommend
that the system be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Anti-lock brake system(ABS) warning light
This light illuminates if the ignition switch
is turned ON and goes off in approxi-
mately 3 seconds if the system is operat-
ing normally.
If the ABS warning light remains on,
comes on while driving, or does not
come on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, this indicates
that there may be a malfunction with the
ABS.
If this occurs, we recommend that the
system be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. The normal braking
system will still be operational, but with-
out the assistance of the anti-lock brakesystem. Electronic brake
force distribution(EBD) systemwarning light
If two warning lights illuminate at the
same time while driving, your vehicle
may have a malfunction with the ABSand EBD system.
In this case, your ABS and regular brake
system may not work normally. We rec-
ommend that the system be checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
✽✽
NOTICE
If the ABS warning light or EBD warn- ing light is on and stays on, the
speedometer or odometer/tripmeter
may not work. In this case, we recom-mend that the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
If the both ABS and brake warning
lights are on and stay on, your vehi-
cle’s brake system will not work
normally during sudden braking. In
this case, avoid high speed driving
and abrupt braking. We recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Parking brake & brake
fluid warning light
Parking brake warning
This light is illuminated when the parking
brake is applied with the ignition switch in
the START or ON position. The warning
light should go off when the parking
brake is released while the engine is run-ning. Low brake fluid level warning
If the warning light remains on, it may
indicate that the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low.
If the warning light remains on:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe location and stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check the brake fluid level immediately and add
fluid as required. Then check all brake
components for fluid leaks.
3. Do not drive the vehicle if leaks are found, the warning light remains on or
the brakes do not operate properly. We
recommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer. Your vehicle is equipped with dual-diago-
nal braking systems. This means you still
have braking on two wheels even if one
of the dual systems should fail. With only
one of the dual systems working, more
than normal pedal travel and greaterpedal 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.
To check bulb operation, check whether
the parking brake and brake fluid warning
light illuminates when the ignition switchis in the ON position.
Shift pattern indicator
(if equipped)
Automatic transaxle
The indicator displays to show the auto-
matic transmission shift lever selection. Manual transaxle shift indicator
This indicator informs you which gear is
desired while driving to save fuel.
For example
: Indicates that shifting up to the 3rdgear is desired (currently the shift
lever is in the 2nd or 1st gear).
: Indicates that shifting down to the 3rd gear is desired (currently the
shift lever is in the 4th or 5th gear).
When the system is not working proper-
ly, the indicator is not displayed.
WARNING
Driving the vehicle with a warning
light on is dangerous. If the brake
warning light remains on, we rec-ommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

the ignition switch is turned ON, but
should go off after approximately 3 sec-
onds. When the ESP is on, it monitors the
driving conditions and under normal driv-
ing conditions, the ESP indicator will
remain off. When a slippery or low trac-tion condition is encountered, the ESP
will operate, and the ESP indicator will
blink to indicate the ESP is operating.
We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

The ESP OFF indicator will illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned ON,
but should go off after approximately 3
seconds. To switch to ESP OFF mode,

by position when the brake is not work
normally, the ESP system may be stop
operation and ESP OFF indicator may be
illuminated for about 5 minutes.
