Features of your vehicle
Warnings and indicators
All warning lights are checked by
turning the ignition switch ON (do not
start the engine). Any light that does
not illuminate should be checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
After starting the engine, check to
make sure that all warning lights are
off. If any are still on, this indicates a
situation that may need attention.
When releasing the parking brake,
the brake system warning light
should go off. The fuel warning light
will stay on if the fuel level is low.
ECO indicator (if equipped)
Active ECO system (if equipped)
When the active ECO is operating,
the ECO indicator is green.
For more detailed information, refer
to “Active ECO” in chapter 5.
Air bag warning light
This warning light will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds each time
you turn the ignition switch to the ON
position.
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 sec-
onds when you turned the ignition
switch to the ON position or started
the engine, or if it comes on while
driving, have the SRS 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
approximately 3 seconds if the system
is operating 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 indi-
cates that there may be a malfunction
with the ABS.
If this occurs, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible. The nor-
mal braking system will still be oper-
ational, but without the assistance of
the anti-lock brake system. If the ABS warning light turns on
while driving
1. Park the vehicle in a safe place
and turn off the engine.
2. Turn on the engine again.
3. If the warning light illuminates and turns off in approximately 3 sec-
onds, the system is operating nor-
mally.
If the warning light does not turn off,
have your vehicle checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible. Electronic brake force dis-
tribution (EBD) system
warning light
If these 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.
Have the vehicle checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.
WARNING
If the both ABS and brake warn-
ing lights are on and stay on,
your vehicle’s brake system will
not work normally during sudden
braking. In this case, avoid high
speed driving and abrupt brak-
ing. Have your vehicle checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er as soon as possible.

Features of your vehicle
Parking brake & brakefluid warning light
Parking brake warning
This light is illuminated when the
parking brake is applied with the igni-
tion switch in the START or ON posi-
tion. 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 prop-
erly. Have the vehicle towed to any
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for a
brake system inspection and nec-
essary 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 por-
tion 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.
CAUTION
If the oil pressure warning light
stays on while the engine is run-ning, serious engine damage mayresult. The oil pressure warninglight comes on whenever there isinsufficient oil pressure. In nor-mal operation, it should come onwhen the ignition switch is turnedon, then go out when the engineis started. If the oil pressure warn-ing light stays on while theengine is running, there is a seri-ous malfunction.
If this happens, stop the car assoon as it is safe to do so, turnoff the engine and check the oillevel. If the oil level is low, fill theengine oil to the proper leveland start the engine again. If thelight stays on with the enginerunning, turn the engine offimmediately. In any instancewhere the oil light stays onwhen the engine is running, theengine should be checked by anauthorized HYUNDAI dealerbefore the car is driven again.
WARNING
Driving the vehicle with a warn-
ing light on is dangerous. If the
brake warning light remains on,
have the brakes checked and
repaired immediately by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Low tire pressure
telltale
The low tire pressure telltale illumi-
nates when one or more of your tires
is significantly underinflated.
Inflate your tires to the correct infla-
tion pressure.
The low tire pressure telltale will illu-
minate after it blinks for approximate-
ly one minute when there is a mal-
function with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System.
If this occurs, have the system
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.
For details, refer to the TPMS on chap-
ter 6.
WARNING - Low tire
pressure
Significantly low tire pressure
can make the vehicle unstable
and can contribute to loss of
vehicle control and increased
braking distances.
Continued driving on tires with
low pressure can cause the
tires to overheat and fail.WARNING - Safe stopping
The TPMS cannot alert you to severe and sudden tire damage
caused by external factors.
If you feel any vehicle instabil- ity, immediately take your foot
off the accelerator, apply the
brakes gradually and with
light force, and slowly move to
a safe position off the road.
