B260B01A-AAT
SRS (AIRBAG) SERVICE RE-
MINDER INDICATOR (SRI)
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) comes
on and flashes for about 6 seconds after the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" position or
after the engine is started, after which it will go
out.
This light also comes on when the SRS is not
working properly. If the SRI does not come on,
or continuously remains on after flashing for
about 6 seconds when you turned the ignition
key to the "ON" position or started the engine,
or if it comes on while driving, have the SRS
inspected by an authorized Hyundai Dealer.
B260P02Y-GAT
ABS SERVICE REMINDER IN-
DICATOR (SRI) (If Installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the
Anti-Lock Brake System SRI will come on and
then go off in a few seconds. If the ABS SRI
remains on, comes on while driving, or does not
come on when the key is turned to the "ON"
position, this indicates that there may be a
problem with the ABS.
If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by
your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. The
normal braking system will still be operational,
but without the assistance of the anti-lock brake
system.
WARNING:If both ABS SRI and Parking Brake/Brake fluid
level warning lights remain "ON" or come on
while driving, there may be a problem with
E.B.D (Electronic Brake Force Distribution).
If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and have
your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer
as soon as possible.
B260F01A-AAT
HIGH BEAM INDICATOR LIGHT
The high beam indicator light comes on when-
ever the headlights are switched to the high
beam or flash position.
B260C01A-AAT
O/D OFF INDICATOR
(Automatic Transaxle only)
When the overdrive switch is turned on, the
overdrive off indicator will go out. This amber
indicator will be illuminated when the overdrive
switch is turned off (Auto T/A only).
B260D01A-AAT
TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR
LIGHTS
The blinking green arrow on the instrument
panel shows the direction indicated by the turn
signals. If the arrow comes on but does not
blink, blinks more rapidly than normal, or does
not blink at all, a malfunction in the turn signal
system is indicated. Your dealer should be con-
sulted for repairs.
B260G01A-AAT
LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING
LIGHT
CAUTION:If the oil pressure warning light stays on while
the engine is running, serious engine damage
may result. The oil pressure warning light
comes on whenever there is insufficient oil
pressure. In normal operation, it should come
on when the ignition switch is turned on, then
go out when the engine is started. If the oil
pressure warning light stays on while the
engine is running, there is a serious malfunc-
tion.
If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is
safe to do so, turn off the engine and check the
oil level. If the oil level is low, fill the engine oil
to the proper level and start the engine again.
If the light stays on with the engine running,
turn the engine off immediately. In any in-
stance where the oil light stays on when the
engine is running, the engine should be
checked by a Hyundai dealer before the car is
driven again.

COMBINATION TURN SIGNAL,
HEADLIGHT AND LOW-BEAM SWITCH
Turn Signal Operation
Pulling down on the lever causes the turn sig-
nals on the left side of the car to blink. Pushing
upward on the lever causes the turn signals on
the right side of the car to blink. As the turn is
completed, the lever will automatically return to
the center position and turn off the turn signals
at the same time. If either turn signal indicator
light blinks more rapidly than usual, goes on but
does not blink, or does not go on at all, there is
a malfunction in the system. Check for a burned-
out fuse or bulb or see your Hyundai dealer.
B340B01A-AAT
Lane Change Signal
To indicate a lane change, move the lever up or
down to a point where it begins flashing.
The lever will automatically return to the center
position when released.

WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER
SWITCH
The windshield wiper switch has three posi-
tions:
1. Intermittent wiper operation
2. Low-speed operation
3. High-speed operation
NOTE:To prevent damage to the wiper system, do
not attempt to wipe away heavy accumula-
tions of snow or ice. Accumulated snow and
ice should be removed manually. If there is
only a light layer of snow or ice, operate the
heater in the defrost mode to melt the snow or
ice before using the wiper. To operate the headlights, turn the barrel on
the end of the multi-function switch. The first
position turns on the parking lights, sidelights,
tail lights and instrument panel lights. The
second position turns on the headlights.
NOTE:The ignition must be in the "ON" position
to turn on the headlights.
Parking light auto cut
If you do not turn the parking lights "OFF" after
driving, the parking lights will automatically
shut "OFF" when the driver's door is opened.
To turn them "ON" again you must simply turn
the ignition key to the "ON" position.
B340D01A-AAT
High-Beam Switch
To turn on the headlight high beams, push the

trailer. It is designed to be compact and light for
good fuel economy, and is not designed as a
trailer-towing vehicle. Damages or malfunctions
caused by towing may not be covered by the
limited warranties applying to your Hyundai.
Damages or malfunctions that result from tow-
ing a trailer for commercial purposes are specifi-
cally not covered by Hyundai limited warranties.
C180A01A-AATUSE OF LIGHTS
Check your lights regularly for correct operation
and always keep them clean. When driving
during the day in conditions of poor visibility, it is
helpful to drive with headlights on low beam.
This enables you to be seen as well as to see.
