WARNING
Driving the vehicle with a warning
light on is dangerous. If the brake
warning light remains on, have the
brakes checked and repaired imme-
diately by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Brake system &
Parking brake & Brake fluid warning light
When the service brake system or the
regenerative brake system malfunctions,
the brake warning light is turned on and
'check brake' is displayed on the LCD.
Have the system checked by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
Parking brake warning
This light illuminated when the parking
brake is applied with engine start/stop
button in the START or ON position. The
warning light should go off when the
parking brake is released. 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.
Have the vehicle towed to any author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer for a brake sys-
tem inspection and necessary repairs.
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. To check bulb operation, check whether
the parking brake and brake fluid warning
light illuminates when the engine
start/stop button is in the ON position.
CAUTION
When the service brake system and
the regenerative brake system mal-functions, the brake warning light is turned on and 'check brake' is dis-played on the LCD, and also the warn- ing chime will sound. If this occursyou can stop your vehicle by apply-ing greater force to the brake pedal than normal and the stopping dis-tance will be longer. Have the system checked by an authorized HYUNDAIdealer as soon as possible.

To flash the headlights, pull the lever
towards you. It will return to the normal
(low beam) position when released. The
headlight switch does not need to be on
to use this flashing feature.Turn signals and lane change sig-
nals
The engine start/stop button must be on
for the turn signals to function. To turn on
the turn signals, move the lever up or
down (A). Green arrow indicators on the
instrument panel indicate which turn sig-
nal is operating. They will self-cancel
after a turn is completed. If the indicator
continues to flash after a turn, manually
return the lever to the OFF position. To signal a lane change, move the turn
signal lever slightly and hold it in position
(B). The lever will return to the OFF posi-
tion when released.
If an indicator stays on and does not
flash or if it flashes abnormally, one of the
turn signal bulbs may be burned out and
will require replacement.
One-touch triple turn signal
To activate a one-touch triple turn signal
move the turn signal lever up or down
slightly and then release it. The lane
change signal will blink 3 times.
✽ ✽
NOTICE

or slow, a bulb may be burned out or
have a poor electrical connection in the
circuit.

LIGHT BULBS
Use only bulbs of the specified wattage.
✽
✽NOTICE
After heavy, driving rain or washing,
headlight and taillight lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is caused by
the temperature difference between the
lamp inside and outside. This is similar
to the condensation on your windows
inside your vehicle during the rain and
doesn’t indicate a problem with your
vehicle. If the water leaks into the lamp
bulb circuitry, have the vehicle checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING - Working on
the lights
Prior to working on the light, firmly
apply the parking brake, ensure
that the engine start/stop button is
in the OFF position and turn off the
lights to avoid sudden movement
of the vehicle and burning your fin-
gers or receiving an electric shock.
CAUTION
Be sure to replace the burned-out
bulb with one of the same wattagerating. Otherwise, it may causedamage to the fuse or electricwiring system.CAUTION
If you don’t have necessary tools,the correct bulbs and the expertise,consult an authorized HYUNDAIdealer. In many cases, it is difficultto replace vehicle light bulbsbecause other parts of the vehicle must be removed before you canget to the bulb. This is especiallytrue if you have to remove the head-light assembly to
get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installingthe headlight
assembly can result in damage to the vehicle.
WARNING
When you replace the front head-
lamp bulb be careful of the HPCU
system, the high voltage cable
(orange color), and high voltage
components for the hybrid system.
It is very dangerous because the
HPCU has high voltage. Do not
touch high voltage systems or it
could result in the electric shock or
burns or even death.
CAUTION
If your vehicle is equipped withHigh Intensity Discharge (HID)headlights, these headlights con- tain mercury. So if you need to haveyour vehicle disposed, you shouldremove the HID Headlights before disposal. The removed HID head-lights should be recycled, re-used or disposed as hazardous waste.
