WARNING:
o Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protectedby an airbag in front of it.
o Modification to SRS components or wir-
ing, including the addition of any kind of badges to the pad covers or modifications to the body structure, can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to possible injury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad covers, use
only a soft, dry cloth or one which has been moistened with plain water. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affect the airbag covers and proper deployment of the system. o No objects should be placed over or near
the airbag modules on the steering wheel, instrument panel, and the front passen- ger's panel above the glove box, because any such object could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbags to inflate.
o If the airbags inflate, they must be re- placed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not tamper with or disconnect SRS wiring, or other components of the SRS system. Doing so could result in injury, due to accidental firing of the airbags or by rendering the SRS inoperative.
o Do not install a child restraint system in
the front passenger seat position.
o A child restraint system must never be
placed in the front seat. The infant or child could be severely injured by an airbag deployment in case of an accident.
o If components of the airbag system must
be discarded, or if the vehicle must be scrapped, certain safety precautions must be observed. Your Hyundai dealer knows these precautions and can give you the necessary information. Failure to follow these precautions and procedures could increase the risk of personal injury.
o If you sell your vehicle, make certain that
this manual is transferred to the new owner. o If your car was flooded and has soaked
carpeting or water on flooring, youshouldn't try to start engine; have the car towed to authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Do not replace the bumper or the bumper
guard with the one other than the Hyundai genuine parts. Otherwise, it can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to unex- pected injury.

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 prob- lem 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 with- out the assistance of the anti-lock brake system. WARNING: If both ABS SRI and Parking Brake/Brake fluid level warning lights remain "ON" or come on while driving, there may be a prob-
lem with E.B.D. (Electronic Brake Force Dis- tribution). If this occurs, avoid sudden stops and have your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. B260F01A-AAT
High Beam Indicator Light
The high beam indicator light comes on when- ever the headlights are switched to the high beam or flash position.
B260D01A-AAT Turn Signal Indicator Lights
The blinking green arrows on the instrument panel show the direction indicated by the turn signals. If the arrow comes on but does not blink, blinks more rapidly than normal, or does not illuminate at all, a malfunction in the turn signal system is indicated. Your dealer should be con- sulted for repairs. B260G01A-AAT
Low Oil Pressure Warning Light
CAUTION: If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is running, serious engine damage may result. The oil pressure warning light comes on whenever there is insufficient oil pressure. In normal operation, it should come on when the ignition switch is turned on, then go out when the engine is started. If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is running, there is a serious malfunction. If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so, turn off the engine and check the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill engine oil to the proper level and start the engine again. If the light stays on with the engine running, turn the engine off immediately. In any in- stance where the oil light stays on when the engine is running, the engine should be checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer before the car is driven again.B260C01A-AAT O/D OFF Indicator

Driving your car with a problem in either the brake electrical system or brake hydraulic system is dangerous, and could result in a serious injury or death. Warning Light Operation The parking brake/brake fluid level warning light should come on when the parking brake is ap- plied and the ignition switch is turned to "ON" or "START". After the engine is started, the light should go out when the parking brake is re- leased. If the parking brake is not applied, the warning light should come on when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" or "START", then go out when the engine starts. If the light comes on at any other time, you should slow the vehicle and bring it to a complete stop in a safe location off the road- way.

If the light comes on while you are driving, stop, turn off the engine and check under the hood. First, make certain the generator drive belt is in place. If it is, check the tension of the belt. And then, have the system checked by your Hyundai dealer. CAUTION: If the drive belt (generator belt) is loosen, broken, or mission while the vehicle is driv- ing, there may be a serious malfunction, en- gine could overheat because this belt also drives the water pump.
B260Q01HP-DAT Cruise Indicator Light (Gasoline Engine only) (If installed)
The cruise indicator light in the instrument cluster is illuminated only when the vehicle cruising speed has been set using the control switch on the steering wheel. The indicator light does not illuminate when the main cruise control switch is activated. Information on the use of cruise control may be found on page 1-64.
The brake fluid level warning light indicates thatthe 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 or some other safe method. Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal braking systems. This means you still have brak- ing 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 work- ing. 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.

WARNING: If you suspect brake trouble, have your brakes checked by a Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. Driving your car with a problem in either the brake electrical system or brake hydraulic system is dangerous, and could result in serious injury or death. The brake vacuum warning light should come on when the vacuum level in brake booster descends to about 275 mmHg or below.

Without vacuum assist your vehicle can still be stopped by pushing much harder on brake pedal, however the stopping distance may be much longer. If the light comes on at any other time, you should slow the vehicle and bring it to a complete stop in a safe location off the roadway.Water temperature
