3- 4  WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
D030A01TB-AAT IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knock- ing, the engine is probably too hot. Ifthis happens to you, 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"
(automatic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning  is on, turn it off.
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 chargingsystem checked by your Hyundai dealer. 3. If engine coolant is running out un-
der the car or  steam is coming out from the hood, stop the engine. Donot open the hood until the  engine coolant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is novisible loss of engine coolant and no steam, leave the engine running and check to be sure the enginecooling 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 conditioning had been in use,it is normal for cold water to be draining from it when you stop). WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 sec- onds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injectors andhigh pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the engine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious in- jury, if it touch the body. People using pacemakers should not movethan 30cm closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room while engine is running, sincethe high currents in the Common Rail system produce considerable magnetic fields.
WARNING:
While the engine is running, keep hair, hands, and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan anddrive belts to prevent injury.

5. If the water pump drive belt is bro- ken or coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call the nearest Hyundai dealer for assis-tance.

o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush
the affected areas with water for at least 15 minutes and then seekmedical assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse
out your eyes with water and getmedical assistance as soon as pos- sible. While you are being driven to get medical assistance, continue torinse your eyes by using a sponge or soft cloth saturated with water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large quantity of water or milk fol-lowed by milk of  magnesia, eat a raw egg or drink vegetable oil. Getmedical assistance as soon as pos- sible.
While batteries are being charged (ei-ther by a battery charger or by the vehicle's alternator), they produce ex-plosive gases. Always observe these warnings to prevent injuries from oc- curring: 
o Charge batteries only in a well ven- tilated area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smoking in the area.
o Keep children away from the area. G220B01A-AAT Checking Engine Cooling Fan The engine coolant fan should come on automatically if the engine coolanttemperature is high. G220C01TB-AAT Checking Condenser Cooling Fan When the air conditioning is in opera- tion, the condenser cooling fan comes on automatically to be controlled by ECU.
G210B01A-AAT Checking the Battery Keep the battery clean. Any evidence of corrosion around the battery postsor terminals should be removed using a solution of household baking soda and warm water. After the battery ter-minals are dry, cover them with a light coating of grease. G220A01A-AAT CHECKING ELECTRIC COOL- ING FANS
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature andmay sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use ex- treme caution when working nearthe blades of the coolant fan, so that you are not injured by a rotat- ing fan blade. As the engine cool-ant temperature decreases the fan will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.

SRS (Airbag) SERVICE 
REMINDER INDICATOR
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 continu-
ously 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 autho- 
rized Hyundai Dealer. B260P02Y-EAT
ABS SERVICE 
REMINDER INDICATOR
(SRI) (Not all models)
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. SB210E1-E
OVERDRIVE OFF INDI 
CATORLIGHT
(Not all models)
When the overdrive (4th gear) switch is 
turned off and the operation of overdrive 
(4th gear) is cancelled, the overdrive
warning light (O/D OFF) will be illumi- 
nated. When the switch is at the on 
position, the gearbox will operate in the
normal fully automatic mode and the 
warning light will be extinguished. 
SB210G1-E TURN SIGNAL 
INDICATOR LIGHT
Operation of a turn signal is indicated 
by the warning light located in the in- 
strument cluster. If the light fails to
illuminate or does not flash, a malfunc- 
tion within the turn signal system is 
indicated.
! WARNING:
If the both ABS SRI and Parking 
Brake/Brake fluid level warning lights
remain "ON" or come on while driv- 
ing, there may be a problem with 
E.B.D (Electronic brake force distri-
bution). 
If this occurs, avoid sudden stops 
and have your vehicle checked by
your Hyundai dealer as soon as pos- 
sible.

OIL PRESSURE 
WARNING LIGHT
!CAUTION:
If the oil pressure light illuminates 
when the engine is running, an in- 
sufficient oil pressure level for con- 
tinued safe operation of the engine
exists. Continued operation of the 
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 the
engine oil dipstick. If the light fails to 
extinguish when the engine is re- 
started, do not continue to operate
the vehicle. 
If the oil pressure light illuminates 
during normal operation and the
cause is not an insufficient oil level, 
or the light fails to illuminate when 
the ignition is turned "on", contact
the nearest Hyundai dealer before 
further operating the vehicle.
Warning light operation 
The parking brake/brake fluid level warn- 
ing light will be illuminated whenever
the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" 
position irrespective of whether or not 
the parking brake is applied and must
be extinguished when the engine starts 
and the parking brake released. 
If the warning light fails to extinguish or
illuminates at any other time, the ve- 
hicle must be brought to rest in a safe 
location and the level of brake fluid in
the 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 Hyundai
dealer 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, the
advice 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.

vehicle to rest. The vehicle must not be 
driven 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 derived 
from the engine and therefore, in the
event of the engine stopping or the 
vehicle being towed, pedal efforts will 
be substantially increased.
