B260M01A-AATLow 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.
B260J01A-AATCharging 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 malfunc-
tion in the electrical charging system. 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. Do
this as shown on page 6-13 by pushing down
on the center of the belt. And then have the
system checked by your Hyundai dealer.

door is not completely closed and the chime
warns you that driver's side 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 in the "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 on until
the key is removed from the ignition.

Parking Brake/Brake Fluid
Level Warning Light
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 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 in three seconds.
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 in three
seconds. 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.
The brake 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 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.

chime will sound at the same time.
