Warning Light Operation Warning Light OperationWarning Light Operation Warning Light Operation
Warning Light OperationThe parking brake/brake fluid level warning
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 light
should go out when the parking brake is re-
leased.
If the parking brake is not applied, the warning
light should come on when the ignition switch is
turned to "ON" or "START", then go out when
the engine starts. If the light comes on at any
other time, you should slow the vehicle and
bring it to a complete stop in a safe location off
the roadway.
The brake fluid level warning light indicates that
the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder
is low and hydraulic brake fluid conforming to
DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications should be
added. After adding fluid, if no other trouble isfound, the car should be immediately and care-
fully driven to a Hyundai dealer for inspection.
If further trouble is experienced, the vehicle
should not be driven at all but taken to a dealer
by a professional towing service or some other
safe method.
Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal
braking systems. This means you still have
braking on two wheels even if one of the dual
systems should fail. With only one of the dual
systems working, more than normal pedal travel
and greater pedal pressure are required to stop
the car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a
distance with only half of the brake system
working. If the brakes fail while you are driving,
shift to a lower gear for additional engine brak-
ing and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do
so.

Light
The charging system warning light should come
on when the ignition is turned on, then go out
when the engine is running. If the light stays on
while the engine is running, there is a malfunc-
tion in the electrical charging system. If the light
comes on while you are driving, stop, turn off
the engine and check under the hood. First,
make certain the generator drive belt is in
place. If it is, check the tension of the belt.
Do this as shown on page 6-13 by pushing
down on the center of the belt. And then, have
the system checked by your Hyundai dealer.

Low Fuel Level Warning Light
The low fuel level warning light comes on when
the fuel tank is approaching empty. When it
comes on, you should add fuel as soon as
possible. Driving with the fuel level warning
light on or with the fuel level below "E" can
cause the engine to misfire and damage the
catalytic converter.
B260L01Y-AATDoor Ajar Warning Light
and Chime
The door ajar warning light warns you that a
door is not completely closed and the chime
warns you that driver's side front door is not
completely closed.
NOTE:To remind you not to lock the key inside the
car, the warning light comes on whenever
the key is in the "LOCK" position and a door
is open. The warning chime only sounds
whenever the key is in the "LOCK" position
and the driver's side front door is open. The
chime sounds and the light remains on until
the key is removed from the ignition.

WARNING:o Always double check to be sure that the
hood is firmly latched before driving
away. If it is not latched, the hood could
fly open while the vehicle is being driven,
causing a total loss of visibility, which

entering the car through the ventilation sys-
tem, temporarily set the air intake control to
"Recirculation". Be sure to return the control
to "Fresh" when the irritation has passed to
keep fresh air in the vehicle. This will help
keep the driver alert and comfortable.
o Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn
in through the grilles just ahead of the wind-
shield. Care should be taken that these are
not blocked by leaves, snow, ice or other
obstructions.

B750B02Y-AATUsing a cellular phone or a two-way
radio
When a cellular phone is used inside the ve-
hicle, noise may be produced from the audio
equipment. This does not mean that something
is wrong with the audio equipment. In such a
case, use the cellular phone at a place as far as
possible from the audio equipment.
CAUTION:When using a communication system such
a cellular phone or a radio set inside the
vehicle, a separate external antenna must
be fitted. When a cellular phone or a radio
set is used with an internal antenna alone, it
may interfere with the vehicle's electrical
system and adversely affect safe operation
of the vehicle.
WARNING:Don't use a cellular phone when you are
driving, you must stop at a safe place to use
a cellular phone.
SSAR014A
o Station Swapping - As an FM signal weak-
ens, another more powerfanul signal near
the same frequency may begin to play. This
is because your radio is designed to lock
onto the clearest signal. If this occurs, select
another station with a stronger signal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals be-
ing received from several directions can cause
distortion or fluttering. This can be caused by
a direct and a reflected signal from the same
station, or by signals from two stations with
close frequencies. If this occurs, select an-
other station until the condition has passed.
SSAR013A
o Fading - As your car moves away from the
radio station, the signal will weaken and
sound will begin to fade. When this occurs,
we suggest that you select another stronger
station.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large
obstructions between the transmitter and
your radio can disturb the signal causing
static or fluttering noises to occur. Reducing
the treble level may lessen this effect until
the disturbance clears.
