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.

C190E01L C195F02TB-EAT TOWING ATTACHMENTS It is strongly recommended that only an Hyundai Approved towing attach-ment is used to ensure that the loadsplaced upon the body structure arecorrectly distributed. The use of a non approved attachment will result in the invalidation of the vehicle warranty.Hyundai towing attachments are de-signed and constructed to ensuremaximum towing performance andease of fitment. A range of accesso- ries including electrical kits are avail- able through the Hyundai dealer net-work. It is of the utmost importance that those areas of the vehicle which are subjected to greater stress during tow- ing are maintained in accordance withthe recommendations given at the endof this book. In addition, the daily oper-ating checks relating to engine oil,transmission oil and tyres must be performed at each refuelling to ensure maximum reliability and safety.

CAUTION:
If the engine refuses to start, no
attempt should be made to push or
tow start the vehicle. Vehicles with
automatic transaxle or fuel injec-
tion will not be able to be started in
this manner since no drive is trans-
mitted through the automatic
transaxle whilst the engine is not
running, and in the case of fuel
injected derivatives, the fuel pump
will not operate under tow start
conditions. In addition, if the ve-
hicle is equipped with an exhaust
catalyst, damage to the catalyst may
result if the vehicle is tow started. 4. Do not attempt to push or tow start
the vehicle, refer to "Jump Starting"
for information regarding engine
starting when the battery is dis-
charged.
1. Check fuel Level
2. Check all connectors at ignition coil and spark plugs.
Replace any that may be discon-
nected or loose.
3. Check fuel line in the engine com- partment.
