Your Hyundai is equipped with dual- diagonal braking systems. This means you still have braking on two wheelseven if one of the dual systems should fail. With only one of the dual systems working, more than normal pedal traveland greater pedal pressure are re- quired to stop the car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a distance with onlyhalf of the brake system working. If the brakes fail while you are driving, shift to a lower gear for additional enginebraking and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so. B260J01A-GAT
CHARGING SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT
The charging system warning light should come on when the ignition isturned 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 driv- ing, stop, turn off the engine and checkunder the hood. First, make certain the generator drive belt is in place. If it is, check the tension of the belt. B260L01Y-AAT
DOOR AJAR WARNING
LIGHT AND CHIME(If installed)
The door ajar warning light warns you that a door is not completely closed and the chime warns you that driver'sside 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 inthe "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 onuntil the key is removed from the ignition. B260M01A-AAT
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 shouldadd fuel as soon as possible. Driving with the fuel level warning light on or with the fuel level below "E" can causethe engine to misfire and damage the catalytic converter. B260B01L-AAT SRS (Airbag) SERVICE REMINDER INDICATOR(SRI)
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 theengine 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 continuously remainson after flashing for about 6 seconds, or goes out for a second after illuminat- ing for about 6 seconds and then con-

3- 4 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
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:
While the engine is running, keep hair, hands, and clothing away frommoving parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is bro- ken or engine coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call the nearest Hyundai dealer for assistance.
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap whenthe engine is hot. This can allowcoolant to be blown out of the open- ing and cause serious burns.
D030A01A-AAT IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss ofpower, or hear loud pinging or knock- ing, the engine is probably too hot. If this 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.
3. If engine coolant is running out un-
der the car or steam is coming outfrom the hood, stop the engine. Do not open the hood until the enginecoolant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant and no steam,leave the engine running and check to be sure the engine cooling 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, 6. If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the engine temperature has returned normal.Then, if the engine coolant has been lost, carefully add engine coolant to the reservoir (page 6-9) to bring thefluid level in the reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. Ifoverheating happens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assistance.
CAUTION:
Serious loss of engine coolant indi-cates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundaidealer.

CHANGING THE OIL AND FIL- TER The procedure for changing the oil and filter is as follows:
1. Park the car on level ground and
set the parking brake. Start the engine and let it warm up until theneedle on the coolant temperature gauge moves above the lowest mark. Turn the engine off and placethe gear selector lever in "P" (auto- matic) or reverse gear (manual transaxle).
2. Open the hood and remove the engine oil filler cap.
3. Slide underneath the car and loosen the drain plug by turning it counter-clockwise with a wrench of theproper size. Be sure that a drain pan is in position to catch the oil as it drains out, then remove the drainplug.
WARNING:
Be very careful when draining theengine oil as it may be hot enoughto burn you!
The engine oil and filter should be
changed at those intervals specified in the maintenance schedule in Sec- tion 5. If the car is being driven insevere conditions, more frequent oil and filter changes are required. G040A01L

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION Function of Engine Oil
Engine oil has the primary function of lubricating and cooling the inside ofthe engine.
Engine oil consumption It is normal that an engine shouldconsume some engine oil while nor-
mal driving. The cause of oil con- sumption in a normal engine are as follows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pis- tons, piston rings and cylinders.A thin film of oil is left on thecylinder wall when a piston moves downwards in the cylinder. High negative pressure generated dur-ing engine operation sucks some of the oil into the combustion cham- ber. This oil with some oil of the cylin- der wall is burned by the high tem- perature combustion gases duringthe combustion process.
o The engine oil consumption is
strongly effected by the viscosity and quality of oil, engine rpm and driving condition etc. The engine
oil is more consumed under severe driving conditions such as highspeeds and frequent acceleration and deceleration than normal driv- ing condition.

CHECKING THE BRAKES
CAUTION:
Because brakes are essential to
the safe operation of the car, it is suggested that they be checked and inspected by your Hyundaidealer. The brakes should be checked and inspected for wear at those intervals specified in thevehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.

Checking the Brake Fluid Level
WARNING:
Use caution when handling brakefluid. It can damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. It will alsodamage your vehicle's paint if spilled on it and not removed im- mediately.
G110D03Y
Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
3. If the transaxle fluid level is low, use a funnel to add transaxle fluid through the dipstick tube until the level reaches the "HOT" range. Do not overfill.
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature andmay sometimes operate even whenthe engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan,so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant temperature decreases, thefan will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.
While the engine is idling, apply the
brakes and move the gear selector lever from "P" to each of its otherpositions -- "R", "N", "D" -- and then return to "N" or "P" with the engine still idling:
1. Open the hood, being careful to
keep hands, long hair and clothing clear of any moving parts.
2. Remove the transaxle dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert the dipstick as far as it will go, then remove it again.Now check the fluid level on the dipstick. It should be in the "HOT" range on the dipstick. HXG556J

Adding Brake Fluid
WARNING:
Handle brake fluid carefully. It can
damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification fluid from a sealedcontainer. Do not allow the fluid can or reservoir to remain open any longer than required. This willprevent entry of dirt and moisture which can damage the brake sys- tem and cause improper opera- tion.G130A01A-AAT
CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID To Check the Clutch Fluid
The clutch fluid level in the master
cylinder should be checked when performing other under hood services.The system should be checked for leakage at the same time.
Check to make certain that the clutch
fluid level is between the "MAX" and"MIN" level markings on the fluid res- ervoir. Fill as required. Fluid loss indi-cates a leak in the clutch system which should be inspected and re- paired immediately. Consult yourHyundai dealer. G130A01L
!
To add brake fluid, first wipe away any dirt then unscrew the fluid reser-voir cap. Slowly pour the recom- mended fluid into the reservoir. Do not overfill. Carefully replace the capon the reservoir and tighten.
G120C02A-AAT Recommended Brake Fluid Use only hydraulic brake fluid con- forming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifica- tions in your braking system. Follow the instructions printed on the con-tainer. G120D01A-AAT To Check the Fluid Level
HXG095
The fluid level in the brake fluid reser- voir should be checked periodically. The level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of thereservoir. If the level is at or below the "MIN" mark, carefully add fluid to bring it up to "MAX". Do not overfill.
