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
with the parking brake released, it
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.

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

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.

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.

the Engine Start/Stop button to the
ON position.
- The electric pow

er steering warning
light illuminates for about 3 seconds
and then goes off.
• Whenever there is a malfunction with
the electric power steering.
If this occurs, we recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Charging system warning
light
This warning light illuminates:

the alternator or electrical charging
system.
If there is a malfunction with either the
alternator or electrical charging system:

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.

charging system.
If this occurs, we recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.
