SB210M1-E Charging System Warning Light
The charging system warning light should illuminate when the ignitionswitch is turned to the "ON" position and should be extinguished when the engine is started. If the light fails toilluminate when the ignition is turned "ON" or fails to extinguish after starting the engine, the nearest Hyundai dealershould be contacted. If the light illumi- nates whilst the vehicle is being driven, stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe todo so and check the condition of the generator drive belt. If the belt is in SB2100I-E
Door Ajar Warning Light
The door ajar warning light indicates that a door is not correctly closed. Ensure that the light is extinguishedprior to driving the vehicle. SB210P1-E
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
The low fuel warning light serves to warn the driver that the remaining fuel quantity is approximately 9 litres andthat the vehicle should be refuelled. If the vehicle is driven for an extended period with the low fuel warning lightilluminated there exists a possibility that misfiring due to fuel shortage may occur. This situation must be avoidedto prevent damage to the catalyst oc- curring.

The vehicle must not bedriven once brake failure has occurred until the system has been repaired and is functioning normally.The braking system employs a vacuum servo in order that the pedal efforts are reduced. Power for the servo is derivedfrom the engine and therefore, in the event of the engine stopping or the vehicle being towed, pedal efforts willbe substantially increased.

CAUTION:
If the drive belt (generator belt) is loose, broken, or missing whilst the vehicle is driving, there may be aserious malfunction, engine could overheat because this belt also drives the water pump.

Diesel Pre-heat Indicator Light(Diesel Engine)
The indicator light illuminates amber when the ignition switch is placed at the "ON" position. The engine can bestarted after the pre-heat indicator light goes off. The illuminating time varies with the water temperature, air tem-perature and battery condition. NOTE: If the engine were not started within 10 seconds after the preheating is completed, turn the ignition key once more to the "LOCK" position, andthen to the "ON" position, in order to preheat again.
B260U01TB-EAT Immobilizer Warning Indicator Light
This indicator light comes on for some seconds after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position. At this time, youcan start the engine. The light goes out after the engine is running. In case this light goes out before you start the en-gine, you must turn to the "LOCK" position and restart the engine. In case this light blinks for five seconds whenthe ignition key is turned to "ON" posi- tion, this indicates that the immobilizer system is out of order. At this time,consult to the Hyundai dealer.
B900A01A-GAT ACOUSTIC WARNING SOUND The acoustic warning chime sounds when the tail lights are on and the door in driver side is open. This prevents the battery from discharging when the caris left with the tail lights on. The chime sounds until the tail lights are turned off.
B265A01B-GAT Fuel Filter Warning Light (Diesel Engine)
This light illuminates when the ignition switch is set to the "ON" position and goes off after the engine has started. If it lights up while the engine is running,

If this happens,remove the water from the fuel filter. (Refer to "6-26 page") SB210S1-E BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR The front brake disc pads are fitted with an audible wear indicator which will cause a high pitched noise to be emit- ted when the remaining amount of fric-tion lining is below the specified value. When the wear indicator is heard, the brake pads should be replaced withoutdelay to avoid damage occurring to the brake discs and a severe reduction in braking efficiency.

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.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
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-

o This mode calculates the average fuel consumption from the total fuel used and the distance since the last average consumption reset.
o The total fuel used is calculated from the fuel consumption input.
o The meter's working range is from 0.0 to 99.9 MPG (miles per gallon)
o Calculation Method NOTE: The average fuel consumption is calculated by the US gallon. A US gallon is equal to 3.875 litres. And animperial gallon, used in Britain, is equal to 4.546 litres.

NOTE:
o If the distance to empty is less than 30 miles, it displays "----".
o The distance to empty can differ from the actual tripmeter accord- ing to driving conditions.
o The distance to empty can vary according to the driving condi-tions, driving pattern or vehicle speed.
o This mode provides the estimated distance to empty from the currentfuel level in the fuel tank.
o When refueling with more than 6
litres, the trip computer will recog-nize refueling.
o When the battery has been rein-
stalled after being discharged or dis-connected, drive more than 20 miles for an accurate distance to empty.

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.
