hydraulic system is dangerous, and could result in serious injury or death. Warning Light Operation The parking brake/brake fluid level warning light should come on when the parking brake is ap-plied and the ignition switch is turned to "ON" or"START". After the engine is started, the lightshould go out when the parking brake is re-leased.If the parking brake is not applied, the warninglight should come on when the ignition switch isturned to "ON" or "START", then go out when theengine starts. If the light comes on at any othertime, you should slow the vehicle and bring it toa complete stop in a safe location off the road-way.The brake warning light indicates that the brakefluid level in the brake master cylinder is low andhydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 orDOT 4 specifications should be added. Afteradding fluid, if no other trouble is found, the carshould be immediately and carefully drivento a Hyundai dealer for inspection. If furthertrouble is experienced, the vehicle should not bedriven at all but taken to a dealer by a profes-sional towing service or some other safe method.Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonalbraking systems. This means you still have brak-ing on two wheels even if one of the dual systemsshould fail. With only one of the dual systemsworking, more than normal pedal travel andgreater pedal pressure are required to stop thecar. Also, the car will not stop in as short a B260J01S-GAT
Charging System Warning Light
The charging system warning light should comeon when the ignition is turned on, then go outwhen the engine is running. If the light stays onwhile the engine is running, there is a malfunctionin the electrical charging system. If the lightcomes on while you are driving, stop, turn off theengine and check under the hood. First, makecertain the generator drive belt is in place. If it is,check the tension of the belt.And then, have the system checked by yourHyundai dealer. CAUTION: If the drive belt (generator belt) is loosen,broken, or mission while the vehicle is driv-ing, there may be a serious malfunction, en-gine could overheat because this belt alsodrives the water pump.
B260L01A-GAT Door Ajar Warning Light
The door ajar warning light warns you that a door is not completely closed.
B260B01S-GAT SRS (Airbag) Service Reminder Indicator (SRI) (If installed)
The SRS service reminder indicator (SRI) comes on and flashes for about 6 seconds after theignition key is turned to the "ON" position or afterthe engine is started, after which it will go out.This light also comes on when the SRS is notworking properly. If the SRI does not come on, orcontinuously remains on after flashing for about6 seconds when you turned the ignition key to the"ON" position or started the engine, or if it comeson while driving, have the SRS inspected by anauthorized Hyundai Dealer.

Trailer Hitches
Select the proper hitch and ball combination,
making sure that it's location is compatible with that of the trailer or vehicle being towed.
Use a quality non-equalizing hitch which distrib-
utes the tongue load uniformly throughout thechassis.
The hitch should be bolted securely to the car
and installed by a qualified technician. DO NOTUSE A HITCH DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARYINSTALLATION AND NEVER USE ONE THATATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.

Safety Chains
Should the hitch connection between your car
and the trailer or vehicle you are towing fail, the trailer or vehicle could wander dangerouslyacross other lanes of traffic and ultimately col-lide with another vehicle. To eliminate this po-tentially dangerous situation, safety chains, at-tached between your car and the trailer ortowed vehicle, are required in most provinces.

4. To maintain engine braking efficiency andelectrical charging performance, do not use fifth gear (manual transaxle) or overdrive(automatic transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pressure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tirepressure can seriously affect the handling.Also check the spare tire.
7. The vehicle/trailer combination is more af- fected by crosswind and buffeting. When being passed by a large vehicle, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead.If there is too much wind buffeting slowdown to get out of the other vehicle's airturbulence.
8. When parking your car and trailer, especial- ly on a hill, be sure to follow all the normalprecautions. Turn your front wheel into thecurb, set the parking brake firmly, and putthe transaxle in 1st or Reverse (manual) orPark (automatic). In addition, place wheelchocks at each of the trailer's tires.
9. If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving, and then applythe trailer brake controller by hand to besure the brakes are working. This lets youcheck your electrical connection at the sametime.
10. During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and that thelights and any trailer brakes are still working.

11. Avoid jerky starts, sudden acceleration or
sudden stops.
12. Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane changes.
13. Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in reduced brakingefficiency.
14. When going down a hill, shift into a lower gear and use the engine braking effect. When ascending a long grade, downshift the transaxle to a lower gear and reduce speedto reduce chances of engine overloadingand/or overheating.
15. If you have to stop while going uphill, do not hold the vehicle in place by pressing on theaccelerator. This can cause the automatictransaxle to overheat. Use the parking brakeor footbrake.

If you have a tire gauge, remove the valve cap
and check the air pressure. If the pressure is lower than recommended, drive slowly to thenearest service station and inflate to the correctpressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it iscorrect. Always reinstall the valve cap afterchecking or adjusting tire pressure. If the cap isnot replaced, air may leak from the tire. If youlose a valve cap, buy another and install it assoon as possible.
After you have changed wheels, always secure
the flat tire in its place in the luggage room andreturn the jack and tools to their proper storagelocations. D080A01A-GAT

If your car has to be towed, it should be done by
your Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truck service. This will help assure that your car isnot damaged in towing. Also, professionals aregenerally aware of state and local laws govern-ing towing. In any case, rather than risk dam-age to your car, it is suggested that you showthis information to the tow truck operator. Besure that a safety chain system is used and thatlocal laws are observed. o If the car is being towed with the rear wheels
on the ground, be sure the parking brake isreleased.
o If the car is being towed with the front wheels on the ground, be sure that thetransaxle is in neutral. Also, be sure that theignition key is in the "ACC" position. This isnecessary to prevent damage to the steer-ing lock mechanism, which is not designedto hold the front wheels straight while the caris being towed.
o If any of the loaded wheels or suspension components are damaged, a towing dollymust be used.

Emergency Towing For emergency towing when no commercialtow vehicle is available, attach a tow cable,chain or strap to the two hooks under the frontof your car. Do not attempt to tow your vehiclein this manner on any unpaved surface. Thiscould result in serious damage to your car. Nor should it be attempted if the wheels, drive train, axles, steering or brakes are damaged.Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in neu-tral and the key is in "ACC" (with the engine off)or in the "ON" position (with the engine run-ning).

ZB110M2-E CHARGING WARNING LIGHT

light should come on when the parking brake is applied and the ignition switch is turned to "ON"or "START". After the engine is started, the lightshould go out when the parking brake is re-leased.
If the parking brake is not applied, the warning

Afteradding fluid, if no other trouble is found, the carshould be immediately and carefully drivento a Hyundai dealer for inspection. If furthertrouble is experienced, the vehicle should notbe driven at all but taken to a dealer by aprofessional towing service or some other safemethod.
Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal
braking systems. This means you still havebraking on two wheels even if one of the dualsystems should fail. With only one of the dualsystems working, more than normal pedal trav-el and greater pedal pressure are required tostop the car. Also, the car will not stop in asshort a distance with only half of the brakesystem working. If the brakes fail while you are driving, shift to a lower gear for additional en-gine braking and stop the car as soon as it issafe to do so.
