2015 Hyundai Azera check engine light

471
Features of your vehicle
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 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.
To check bulb operation, check whether
the parking brake and brake fluid warning
light illuminates when the ignition switch
is in the ON position.Anti-lock brake system
(ABS) warning light
(if equipped)
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 brake
system.Electronic brake
force distribution
(EBD) system
warning light
If two warning lights illuminate at the
same time while driving, your vehicle
may have a malfunction with the ABS
and EBD system. In this case, your ABS
and regular brake system may not work
normally. We recommend that the system
be checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
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.
WARNING
If 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.

vehicle is in motion:
1. Drive to the nearest safe location.

tor drive belt for looseness or break-

Do not continue driving with an overheat-
ed engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer
to “Overheating” in section 6.

Malfunction indicator light
(MIL) (check engine light)

cates that a potential malfunction has
been detected somewhere in the emis-
sion control system.
This light will also illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, and will go out in a few seconds
after the engine is started. If it illuminates
while driving, or does not illuminate when
the ignition switch is turned to the ON

dealer.
Generally, your vehicle will continue to be
drivable, but we recommend that the sys-
tem be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
Prolonged driving with the
Malfunction Indicator Light illumi-
nated may cause damage to the
emission control systems which
could effect drivability and/or fuel
economy.
CAUTION
If the Malfunction Indicator Light
illuminates, potential catalytic con-
verter damage is possible which
could result in loss of engine
power. We recommend that the sys-
tem be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
