B260C02L-GAT
TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHT(If installed)
The traction control indicators change operations according to the switchconditions and whether the system isin operation or not. They will also illu-minate when the ignition key is turnedto the "ON" or "START" position, but should go out after three seconds. If the TCS indicator stays on, take yourcar to your authorized Hyundai dealerand have the system checked. Seesection 2 for more information aboutthe TCS system.
B260D01A-AAT TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR LIGHTS
The blinking green arrows on the in- strument panel show the direction indi-cated by the turn signals. If the arrowcomes on but does not illuminate, blinksmore rapidly than normal, or does not illuminate at all, a malfunction in the turn signal system is indicated. Yourdealer should be consulted for repairs. B260F01A-AAT
HIGH BEAM INDICATOR LIGHT
The high beam indicator light comes on whenever the headlights are switched to the high beam or flashposition.
B260E01L-GAT
SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT
The seat belt warning light blinks for about 6 seconds when the ignition keyis turned from the "OFF" position to"ON" or "START". B260K01S-AAT TRUNK LID OPEN WARNING LIGHT
This light remains on unless the trunk lid is completely closed.
B260P01L-GAT
ABS SERVICE REMINDER INDICATOR
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the Anti-Lock Brake SystemSRI will come on and then go off in afew 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 theremay be a problem with the ABS.If this occurs, have your vehiclechecked by your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. The normal braking system will still be operational, butwithout the assistance of the anti-lockbrake system. WARNING:
If the both ABS SRI and Parking Brake/Brake fluid level warning lights remain "ON" or come on whiledriving, there may be a problem
with E.B.D (Electronic Brake Force
Distribution).If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and have your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer as soon aspossible.

C090A01L-GAT AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE (4A/T, 5A/T)
HXG065In the main gate, selector lever has 4/ 5 positions, and is equipped with abutton to avoid inadvertent wrong se-lection. NOTE:
Depress the brake pedal and push the button when shifting. Push the button when shifting.The selector lever can be shiftedfreely.
The first few shifts on a new ve- hicle, or if the battery has been taken away and reinstalled, may besomewhat abrupt. This is a normalcondition, and the shifting se-quence will become normal aftershifts are cycled a few times by T.C.M (Transaxle Control Module).o Exercise extreme caution when driv- ing on a slippery surface. Be espe- cially careful when braking, acceler-ating or shifting gears. On a slipperysurface, an abrupt change in ve- hicle speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the ve-hicle to go out of control.
WARNING:
o The risk of rollover is greatly in- creased if you lose control of your vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway and the driver oversteersto reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pull-ing back into the travel lanes.
o In a collision crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likelyto die than a person wearing a seatbelt. The highly efficient Hyundai automatic transaxle has four/five forward speedsand one reverse speed. The individual speeds are selected automatically, depending on the position of the speedselector lever. The selector lever has 2gates; the main gate and the manualgate.
NOTE: For information on manual gate operation, refer to "Sports Mode".

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 11
C120A02A-AAT ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (If installed) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to prevent wheel lock-upduring sudden braking or on hazard-ous road surfaces. The ABS controlmodule monitors the wheel speed and controls the pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in emergency situationsor on slick roads, ABS will increasevehicle control during braking. NOTE: During ABS operation, a slight pul- sation may be felt in the brake pedal when the brakes are applied. Also, a noise may be heard in the enginecompartment while driving. Theseconditions are normal and indicatethat the anti-lock brake system isfunctioning properly. WARNING:
ABS will not prevent accidents due to improper or dangerous driving maneuvers. Even though vehiclecontrol is improved during emer-gency braking, always maintain asafe distance between you and ob-jects ahead. Vehicle speeds should always be reduced during extreme road conditions.The braking distance for carsequipped with an anti-lock brakingsystem may be longer than for thosewithout it in the following road con- ditions.
o Driving on rough, gravel or snow- covered roads.
o Driving with tire chains installed.
o Driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or has different surface height.
During these conditions the vehicle should be driven at reduced speeds.The safety features of an ABSequipped vehicle should not be tested by high speed driving or cornering. This could endanger thesafety of yourself or others.
o Exercise extreme caution when driv-
ing on a slippery surface. Be espe-cially careful when braking, acceler-ating or shifting gears. On a slipperysurface, an abrupt change in vehi- cle speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle to goout of control.
CAUTION:
o The risk of rollover is greatly in- creased if you lose control of your vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway and the driver oversteersto reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pull-ing back into the travel lanes.
o In a collision crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likelyto die than a person wearing a seatbelt.

C300B01L-GAT TCS ON/OFF Mode In the TCS ON mode, the indicator in the instrument cluster will not be illumi- nated.To switch the TCS OFF mode, pressthe TCS switch . The SLIP control willbe deactivated and the TCS indicatorin the instrument cluster will be illumi- nated. NOTE:
1) Stop the engine once. Then re-
start the engine, and the TCS mode will automatically turn ON.
2) When the traction control is op- erating properly, you can feel a slight pulsation in the vehicle. This is only the effect of brakecontrol and indicates nothingunusual.
On slippery road surfaces, the tractioncontrol system (TCS) limits the drivewheels from spinning excessively, thushelping the car to accelerate. It alsoprovides sufficient driving force and steering performance as the car turns at accelerated speeds. SLIP Control Limits the drive wheels from spinning excessively during starting or whilemaking accelerated turns on slippery roads to avoid losing the driving force of the front wheels. Driving hints TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sure to decelerate the car suffi- ciently before entering curves.
CAUTION:
When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIP control function has been activat-ed. It also means that the road isslippery or your car is accelerating excessively. In this situation, re- lease foot pressure from the accel-erator pedal and maintain moder-ate speed.
