Features of your vehicle
52
4
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 vehicle.
Also, the vehicle 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 addi-
tional engine braking and stop the vehicle
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.Front fog light indicator
(if equipped)
This indicator illuminates when the front
fog lights are ON.
Rear fog light indicator (If equipped)
This indicator illuminates when the rear
fog lights are ON.
Shift pattern indicator (if equipped)
The indicator displays which automatic
transaxle shift lever is selected.
WARNING
Driving the vehicle with a warning
light on is dangerous. If the brake
warning light remains on, we recom-
mend that the system be checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
