Warning and indicator lights
Information
Make sure that all warning lights are OFF
after starting the engine. If any light is still
ON, this indicates a situation that needs
attention.
Seat belt warning light
This warning light informs the driver that
the seat belt is not fastened.
For more details, refer to “Seat Belts”
section in chapter 3.
Air bag warning light
This warning light illuminates:
• When you turn the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button to the
ON position.
- It illuminat

es for approximately 3~6
seconds and then goes off.
• When there is a malfunction with the
SRS.
In this case, we recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Parking brake & Brake fluid
warning light
This warning light illuminates:
• When you set the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button to the
ON position.
- The parking brak

e & brake fluid
warning light illuminates for about 3
seconds and will then turn off once
the parking brake is released.
• Whenever the parking brake is
applied.
• Whenever the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low.
- If the warning ligh

t illuminates

indicates the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low.
If the brake fluid level in the reservoir is
low:
1.
Drive car

efully to the nearest safe
location and stop your vehicle.
2.
With the engine st

opped, check the
brake fluid level immediately and add
fluid as required (For more details,
refer to “Brake Fluid” section in
chapter 9). After adding brake fluid,
check all brake components for fluid
leaks. If a brake fluid leak is found, or
if the warning light remains on, or if
the brakes do not operate properly, do
not drive the vehicle. We recommend
that you have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

4-11
Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal braking system. 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 is 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 additional engine
braking and stop the vehicle as soon as it
is safe to do so.
WARNING
Parking Brake & Brake Fluid warning
light
Driving the vehicle with a warning light
ON is dangerous. If the Parking Brake
& Brake Fluid warning light illuminates
with the parking brake released, it
indicates that the brake fluid level is
low.
If this occurs, we recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
warning light
This warning light illuminates:
• When you set the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button to the
ON position.
- The ABS warning ligh

t illuminates
for about 3 seconds and then goes
off.
• Whenever there is a malfunction with
the ABS.
Note that the hydraulic braking
system will still be operational even if
there is a malfunction with the ABS.
If this occurs, we recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Electronic Brake Force
Distribution (EBD) system
warning light
When the ABS warning and
Parking Brake warning lights are on
simultaneously, it may indicate a
problem with the Electronic Brake Force
Distribution system.
If this occurs, we recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Instrument cluster
4-12
WARNING
Electronic Brake Force Distribution
(EBD) system warning light
When both ABS and Parking Brake &
Brake Fluid warning lights are on, the
brake system will not work normally
and you may experience an unexpected
and dangerous situation during sudden
braking.
If this occurs, avoid high speed driving
and abrupt braking.
We recommend that you have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
NOTICE
Electronic Brake Force Distribution
(EBD) system warning light
When the ABS warning light is on
or both ABS and Parking Brake &
Brake Fluid warning lights are on, the
speedometer, odometer, or tripmeter
may not work. Also, the EPS warning

effort may increase or decrease.
If this occurs, we recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.

When there is a malfunction with either
the alternator or electrical charging
system.
If there is a malfunction with either the
alternator or electrical charging system:
1.
Drive car

efully to the nearest safe
location and stop your vehicle.
2.
Turn the engine o

ff and check the
alternator drive belt for looseness or
breakage.
If the belt is adjusted properly, there
may be a problem in the electrical
charging system.
If this occurs, we recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.

Check spark plugs and ignition system
Inspect the spark plugs, as specified in
chapter 8. If necessary, replace them.
Also check all ignition wirings and
components for any cracks, wear-out,
and damage.
To prevent locks from freezing
To prevent the locks from being frozen,
spray approved de-icing fluid or glycerin
into key holes. When a lock opening is
already covered with ice, spray approved
de-icing fluid over the ice to remove it.
When an internal part of a lock freezes,
try to thaw it with a heated key. Carefully
use the heated key to avoid an injury.
Use approved window washer anti-
freeze solution in system
To prevent the window washer from
being frozen, add authorized window
washer anti-freeze solution, as specified
on the window washer container.
Window washer anti-freeze solution is
available from an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer, and most vehicle accessory
outlets. Do not use engine coolant or
other types of anti-freeze solution, to
prevent any damage to the vehicle paint.Do not let your parking brake freeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged position.
This is most likely to happen when there
is an accumulation of snow or ice around
or near the rear brakes or if the brakes
are wet. When there is the risk that your
parking brake may freeze, temporarily
apply it with the gear in P (Park). Also,
block the rear wheels in advance, so the
vehicle may not roll. Then, release the
parking brake.
Do not let ice and snow accumulate
underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
can build up under the fenders and
interfere with the steering. When driving
in such conditions during the severe
winter, you should check underneath
the vehicle on a regular basis, to ensure
that the front wheels and the steering
components is unblocked.
Carry emergency equipment
In accordance with weather conditions,
you should carry appropriate emergency
equipment, while driving. Some of the
items you may want to carry include tire
chains, tow straps or chains, flashlight,
emergency flares, sand, shovel, jumper
cables, window scraper, gloves, ground
cloth, coveralls, blanket, etc.
Do not place objects or materials in the
engine compartment
Putting objects or materials in the engine
compartment may cause an engine
failure or combustion, because they may
block the engine cooling. Such damage
will not be covered by the manufacturer’s
warranty.

Driving the vehicle after it has been
parked on a hill
1. With the gear in P (Park), apply your
brakes and hold the brake pedal down
while you:
• Start your engine;
• Shift into gear; and
• Release the parking brake.
2.
Slowly r

emove your foot from the
brake pedal.
3.
Drive slo

wly until the trailer is clear of
the chocks.
4.
St

op and have someone pick up and
store the chocks.
Maintenance when towing a
trailer
Your vehicle will need service more
often when you regularly pull a trailer.
Important items to pay particular
attention to include engine oil,
transmission fluid, axle lubricant and
cooling system fluid. Brake condition
is another important item to frequently
check. If you’re trailering, it’s a good
idea to review these items before
you start your trip. Don’t forget to
also maintain your trailer and hitch.
Follow the maintenance schedule that
accompanied your trailer and check it
periodically. Preferably, conduct the
check at the start of each day’s driving.
Most importantly, all hitch nuts and bolts
should be tight.
NOTICE
To prevent vehicle damage:
• Due to higher load during trailer
usage, overheating might occur on
hot days or during uphill driving.
If the coolant gauge indicates
over-heating, switch off the air
conditioner and stop the vehicle in a
safe area to cool down the engine.
• Do not switch off the engine while
the coolant gauge indicates over-
heating.
(Keep the engine idle to cool down
the engine)
• When towing check transmission
fluid more frequently.
• If your vehicle is not equipped with
an air conditioner, you should install
a condenser fan to improve engine
performance when towing a trailer.
