Door 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 the key is in the
ignition switch.NOTE :The warning chime only sounds
whenever the key is in the ignition switch
and the driver's side front door is open
simultaneously. The chime sounds until
the key is removed from the ignition
switch or the driver's side front door is
closed.
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 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.B260N02A-AAT
Check Engine - Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL)
This light illuminates when there is a
malfunction of an exhaust gas related
component, and the system is not
functioning properly so that the exhaust
gas regulation values are not satisfied. This
light will also illuminate when the ignition key
is turned to the "ON" position, and will go out
in a few seconds after the engine is started.
If it illuminates while driving, or does not
illuminate when the ignition key is turned to
the "ON" position, take your car to your
nearest authorized Hyundai dealer and have
the system checked. 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 is found, the car should be
immediately and carefully 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.
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 braking and stop the car as soon as
it is safe to do so.
B260J01NF-AAT
Charging System Warning
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 malfunction in the
electrical charging system. If the light comes
on while you are driving, have the system
checked by your Hyundai dealer as soon
as possible.
B260K01S-AAT
Trunk Lid Open Warning Light
This light remains on unless the trunk lid is
completely closed and latched.

ABS Service Reminder
Indicator (SRI) (If Installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position,
the Anti-Lock Brake System indicator 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.
WARNING:
If both the ABS SRI and Parking Brake/
Brake fluid level warning lights remain
"ON" or come on while driving, 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 as possible.

comes on when the washer fluid reservoir is
approaching empty. When it comes on, add
washer fluid at your earliest opportunity.B270A01O-AATBRAKE PAD WEAR WARNING

indicators that should make a high-pitched
squealing or scraping noise when new pads
are needed. The sound may come and go or
be heard all the time when the vehicle is

replaced. See your Hyundai dealer immedi-
ately.

WARNING:
Significantly low tire pressure makes
the vehicle unstable and can contribute
to loss of vehicle control and increased
braking distances.
Continued driving on low pressure tires
will cause the tires to overheat and fail.
B260W02JM-GAT
Low tire pressure telltale
The low tire pressure telltale comes on for
3 seconds after the ignition key is turned to
the "ON" position.
If the warning light does not come on, the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System is not
working properly. If this occurs, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized Hyundai
dealer as soon as possible.
This warning light will also illuminate if one
or more of your tires are significantly under-
inflated. You should stop and check your
tires as soon as possible. If the warning
light illuminates while driving, reduce
vehicle speed immediately and stop the
vehicle. Avoid hard braking and overcor-
recting at the steering wheel. Inflate the
tires to the proper pressure as indicated on
the vehicle’s tire information placard.
After adjusting the tire pressure of each
wheel correctly, if the low pressure telltale
light stays “ON” continuously, the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System is not working
properly. If this occurs, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer
as soon as possible.
B265W02JM-GAT
TPMS (Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System) malfunction
indicator
TPMS malfunction indicator comes on for
3 seconds after the ignition key is turned to
the "ON" position. If the warning light does
not come on, or continuously remains on
after coming on for about 3 seconds when
you turned the ignition key to the "ON"
position, the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System is not working properly. If this
occurs, have your vehicle checked by an
authorized Hyundai dealer as soon as
possible.
The warning light also comes on and stays
on when there is a problem with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System.
If this happens, the system may not monitor
the tire pressure. Have the system checked
by an authorized Hyundai dealer as soon
as possible.
WARNING:
o The TPMS cannot alert you to severe
and sudden tire damage caused by
external factors.
o If you feel any vehicle instability, im-
mediately take your foot off the
accelerator and slowly move to a safe
position off the road.

Automatic-Dimming Night Vision
Safety™ (NVS
®) Mirror
The NVS
® Mirror in your vehicle is the most
advanced way to reduce annoying glare in
the rearview mirror during any driving
situation. For more information regarding
NVS
® mirrors and other applications,
please refer to the Gentex website:
www.gentex.com. CAUTION:
The NVS
® Mirror automatically reduces
glare during driving conditions based
upon light levels monitored in front of the
vehicle and from the rear of the vehicle.
These light sensors are visible through
openings in the front and rear of the
mirror case. Any object that would
obstruct either light sensor will degrade
the automatic dimming control feature.
!
Automatic-Dimming Function
Your mirror will automatically dim upon
detecting glare from the vehicles traveling
behind you. The auto-dimming function
can be controlled by the Dimming ON/OFF
Button:
1. Pressing the
button turns the auto-
dimming function OFF which is
indicated by the green Status Indicator
LED turning off.
2. Pressing the button again turns the
auto-dimming function ON which is
indicated by the green Status Indicator
LED turning on.
NOTE:The mirror defaults to the "ON" position

when it knows the Magnetic Zone in which
it is operating. This is set either by the dealer
or by the user. The operating Zone Numbers
for North America are shown in the figure on
the following section.
Z-Nav™ Compass DisplayThe NVS™ Mirror in your vehicle is also
equipped with a Z-Nav™ Compass that
