38WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS
!
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.

3WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
3JUMP STARTING
D010D01A-AAT
If the Engine Stalls While Driving
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a
straight line. Move cautiously off the road to
a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try to start the engine again. If your vehicle
will not start, contact a Hyundai dealer or
seek other qualified assistance.

WARNING:The gas produced by the battery during the
jump-start operation is highly explosive. If
these instructions are not followed exactly,
serious personal injury and damage to the
vehicle may occur! If you are not sure how to
follow this procedure, seek qualified assis-
tance. Automobile batteries contain sulfuric
acid. This is poisonous and highly corrosive.
When jump starting, wear protective glasses
and be careful not to get acid on yourself,
your clothing or on the car.Discharged
battery
Booster
battery

o If you should accidentally get acid on your
skin or in your eyes, immediately remove
any contaminated clothing and flush the area
with clear water for at least 15 minutes. Then
promptly obtain medical attention. If you must
be transported to an emergency facility, con-
tinue to apply water to the affected area with
a sponge or cloth.
o The gas produced by the battery during the
jump-start operation is highly explosive. Do
not smoke or allow a spark or open flame in
the vicinity.
o The battery being used to provide the jump
start must be 12-volt. If you cannot deter-
mine that it is a 12-volt battery, do not at-
tempt to use it for the jump start.
o To jump start a car with a discharged battery,
follow this procedure exactly:
1. If the booster battery is installed in another
vehicle, be sure the two vehicles are not
touching.
2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and acces-
sories in both vehicles.
3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in the
exact location shown on the previous page.
First, attach one clamp of the jumper cable to
the positive (+) post or cable of the dis-
charged battery. Then attach the other end
of the same cable to the positive (+) post or
cable of the booster battery. Next, using the
other cable, attach one clamp to the nega-
tive (-) post or cable of the booster battery.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
!
!WARNING:While the engine is running, keep hands,
long hair and clothing away from moving
parts such as the fan and drive belts to
prevent injury.
D030A02A-AAT
If your temperature gauge indicates overheat-
ing, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud
pinging or knocking, the engine is probably too
hot. If this happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto-
matic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set
the parking brake. If the air conditioner is on,
turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or
steam is coming out from the hood, stop the
engine. Do not open the hood until the cool-
ant has stopped running or the steaming has
stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant
and no steam, leave the engine running and
check to be sure the engine cooling fan is
operating. If the fan is not running, turn the
engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is
missing. If it is not missing, check to see that
it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be
satisfactory, check for coolant leaking from
the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air
conditioner had been in use, it is normal for
cold water to be draining from it when you
stop).5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or
coolant is leaking out, stop the engine im-
mediately and call the nearest Hyundai deal-
er for assistance.
WARNING:Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. This may allow coolant to be
blown out of the opening and cause serious
burns.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheat-
ing, wait until the engine temperature has
returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been
lost, carefully add water to the reservoir
(Page 6-7) to bring the fluid level in the
reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for fur-
ther signs of overheating. If overheating hap-
pens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assis-
tance. Then attach the other end of that cable to a
solid metal part of the engine away from the
battery. Do not connect the cable to any
moving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the booster
battery and let it run for a few minutes. This
will help to assure that the booster battery is
fully charged. During the jumping operation,
run the engine in this vehicle at about 2000
rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the dis-
charged battery using the normal starting
procedure. After the engine starts, leave the
jumper cables connected and let the engine
run at fast idle or about 2000 rpm for several
minutes.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in the
reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your battery became
discharged (because the lights were left on,
etc.), have the charging system checked by
your Hyundai dealer.

G210A01A-AAT
WARNING:When working with batteries, carefully ob-
serve the following precautions to avoid se-
rious injuries.o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush the
affected areas with water for at least 15
minutes and then seek medical assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse out your
eyes with water and get medical assistance

magnesia, eat a raw egg or drink vegetable
oil. Get medical assistance as soon as pos-
sible.
While batteries are being charged (either by a
battery charger or by the vehicle's alternator),
they produce explosive gases. Always observe
these warnings to prevent injuries from occur-
ring:
o Charge batteries only in a well ventilated
area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smoking in
the area.
o Keep children away from the area.

Checking the Battery
Keep the battery clean. Any evidence of corro-
sion around the battery posts or terminals should
be removed using a solution of household bak-
ing soda and warm water. After the battery
terminals are dry, cover them with a light coating
of grease.
