start driving and whilst the day/night
lever is in the day position.
Pull the day/night lever toward you to
reduce glare from the headlights of
the vehicles behind you during night

automatically controls the glare from
the headlamp of the vehicle behind
you in nighttime or low light driving

level around the vehicle, and auto-
matically adjusts to control the head-
lamp glare from vehicles behind you.

ically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the driver's view
behind the vehicle.

turn the automatic dimming func-
tion off. The mirror indicator light
will turn off.

tion on. The mirror indicator light
will illuminate.

tion whenever the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button is in
the ON position.

Parking Brake & Brake
Fluid Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
Once you set the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button to the
ON position.
- It illuminates for approximately 3
seconds
- It remains on if the parking brake
is applied.
When the parking brake is applied.
When the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low.
- If the warning light illuminates
with the parking brake released, it
indicates the brake fluid level in
reservoir is low.
If the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir is low:
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 (For
more details, refer to “Brake
Fluid” in chapter 7). Then check
all brake components for fluid
leaks. If any leak in the brake sys-
tem is still found, the warning light
remains on, or the brakes do not
operate properly, do not drive the
vehicle.
In this case, we recommend that
you have the vehicle towed to an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer and
inspected.
Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal braking systems. This
means you still have braking on two
wheels even if one of the dual sys-
tems 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 whilst you are driv-
ing, shift to a lower gear for addition-
al engine braking and stop the vehi-
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.
