PARKING BRAKE/BRAKE
FLUID LEVEL WARNING
LIGHT
WARNING:
In the event of problems being suspected
with the braking system, the advice of the
nearest Hyundai authorised repairer must
be sought before the vehicle is driven.
Driving the vehicle with either an electri-
cal or hydraulic braking system defect
may be dangerous, resulting in accident
or personal injury.
Warning light operation
The parking brake/brake fluid level warning
light will be illuminated whenever the ignition
switch is turned to the "ON" position irrespec-
tive of whether or not the parking brake is
applied and must be extinguished when the
engine starts and the parking brake released.
If the warning light fails to extinguish or illumi-
nates at any other time, the vehicle must be
brought to rest in a safe location and the level
of brake fluid in the reservoir checked. If the
fluid level is incorrect, fluid conforming to DOT
3 or DOT 4 specifications should be added. If,
after correcting the brake fluid level, the warn-
ing light continues to be illuminated, the ad-
vice of the nearest Hyundai authorised re-
pairer must be sought before the vehicle is
driven again.
The Hyundai Matrix is equipped with a diag-
onally split dual braking system which will
ensure that in the event of one of the brake
CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
circuits becoming defective, approximately
fifty per cent of the normal braking perfor-
mance will be available.
If failure of one of the circuits occurs, the
required amount of pedal effort, pedal travel
and stopping distance will be increased. Use
of the gearbox is recommended to assist in
bringing the vehicle to rest. The vehicle must
not be driven once brake failure has occurred
until the system has been repaired and is
functioning normally.
The braking system employs a vacuum servo
in order that the pedal efforts are reduced.
Power for the servo is derived from the engine
and therefore, in the event of the engine
stopping or the vehicle being towed, pedal
efforts will be substantially increased.

CHARGING SYSTEM
WARNING LIGHT
The charging system warning light should
illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to
the "ON" position and should be extinguished
when the engine is started. If the light fails to
illuminate when the ignition is turned "ON" or
fails to extinguish after starting the engine, the
nearest Hyundai authorised repairer should
be contacted. If the light illuminates whilst the
vehicle is being driven, stop the vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so and check the
condition of the generator drive belt. If the belt
is in place and the tension is satisfactory, the
advice of a Hyundai authorised repairer should
be sought.
CAUTION:
If the drive belt (generator belt) is loose,
broken, or missing whilst the vehicle is
driving, there may be a serious malfunc-
tion, engine could overheat because this
belt also drives the water pump.

TAIL GATE OPEN WARNING
LIGHT
The tail gate warning light indicates when the
tail gate is open or is not fully closed. Ensure
that the light has extinguished prior to driving
the vehicle.
SB2100I-E
DOOR AJAR WARNING
LIGHT
The door ajar warning light indicates that a
door is not correctly closed. Ensure that the
light is extinguished prior to driving the vehicle.
SB210P1-E
LOW FUEL LEVEL WARNING
LIGHT
The low fuel warning light serves to warn the
driver that the remaining fuel quantity is ap-
proximately 9 litres and that the vehicle should
be refuelled. If the vehicle is driven for an
extended period with the low fuel warning light
illuminated there exists a possibility that mis-
firing due to fuel shortage may occur. This
situation must be avoided to prevent damage
to the catalyst occurring.
