SB210K1-ELow Oil Pressure Warning Light
!CAUTION:
If the oil pressure warning light illu- minates when the engine is running,an insufficient oil pressure level for continued safe operation of the en- gine exists. Continued operation ofthe engine in this condition may result in serious engine damage. Under normal circumstances, the light will illuminate when the igni- tion is turned "on" and will be extin-guished when the engine is started. If the oil pressure warning light illu- minates whilst the engine is run-ning, stop the engine immediately and check the engine oil level. If the level is insufficient, add the required amount of oil as indicated by theengine oil dipstick. If the light fails to extinguish when the engine is re- started, do not continue to operatethe vehicle. If the oil pressure light illuminates during normal operation and thecause is not an insufficient oil level, or the light fails to illuminate when the ignition is turned "on", contactthe nearest Hyundai dealer before further operating the vehicle.
Warning Light Operation The parking brake/brake fluid level warn- ing light will be illuminated wheneverthe ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position irrespective of whether or not the parking brake is applied and mustbe extinguished when the engine starts and the parking brake released. If the warning light fails to extinguish orilluminates at any other time, the ve- hicle must be brought to rest in a safe location and the level of brake fluid inthe reservoir checked. If the fluid level is incorrect, fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications should be added.If, after correcting the brake fluid level, the warning light continues to be illumi- nated, the advice of the nearest Hyundaidealer must be sought before the ve- hicle is driven again. Your Hyundai is equipped with a diago-nally split dual braking system which will ensure that in the event of one of the brake circuits becoming defective, ap-proximately fifty per cent of the normal braking performance will be available. If failure of one of the circuits occurs,the required amount of pedal effort, pedal travel and stopping distance will be increased. Use of the gearbox is
WARNING:
In the event of problems being sus-pected with the braking system, theadvice of the nearest Hyundai dealer must be sought before the vehicle is driven. Driving the vehicle with ei-ther an electrical or hydraulic brak- ing system defect may be danger- ous, resulting in accident or per-sonal injury.

WARNING:
The engine cooling system is pres-surized and removal of the radiatorcap when the engine is hot may cause hot water and steam to be ejected from the radiator resulting inburns and scalding. The radiator cap must only be removed when the en- gine has cooled. Do not add coldwater to a hot engine to avoid the possibility of engine damage. The use of plain water in the coolingsystem is not recommended since the aluminium components of the cooling system require the use of acorrosion inhibitor found in the rec- ommended Ethylene Glycol type anti freeze solutions.

SB215B1-E ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERA- TURE GAUGE The engine coolant temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant tempera- ture and will, under normal circum-stances, give an indication in the "Nor- mal" or centre portion of the scale. Should the indication move into theupper or "Hot" portion of the scale, engine overheating is indicated. Under these circumstances, the vehicle shouldbe brought to rest as soon as is safe to do so and the engine turned off. Once the engine has cooled somewhat, thecoolant level and the condition of the generator/water pump drive belt should be checked. If the cause of the over-

MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH
SB220A1-E Turn Signal Operation To signal an intention to turn right, the switch lever should be pressed down.To signal an intention to turn left, the switch lever should be pushed upwards. In both instances, the turn signal lightson one side of the car will flash and the warning light located in the instrument cluster will flash in sympathy. Uponcompletion of the manoeuvre, the lever will, under normal circumstances, re- turn to the "Off" position. However, ifthe manoeuvre involved only a small movement of the steering wheel, the signal may need to be cancelled manu-ally. If either turn signal indicator flashes more rapidly than normal or refuses to flash at all, a malfunction of the turnsignal system may exist. SB220B1-E Lane Change Signal To indicate an intention to change lanes, moving the lever slightly towards thedirection of the relevant turn signal will cause the turn signal lights to flash. When the lever is released, it will returnto the "off" position.
