NOTICE

the emissions control system and the engine could be
damaged.
If the malfunction indicator lamp blinks again when
restarting the engine, drive to the nearest dealer at
50 km/h or less. Have your vehicle inspected.
Korean models
If you have recently refueled your vehicle, the
indicator coming on could be due to a loose or
missing fuel fill cap. Tighten the cap until it clicks at
least once. Tightening the cap will not turn the
indicator off immediately; it can take several days of
normal driving.
Have your vehicle repaired immediately.
It is dangerous to drive with low brake fluid. If there
is no resistance from the brake pedal, stop
immediately in a safe place. If necessary downshift
the gears.
If the brake system indicator and ABS indicator come
on simultaneously, the electronic brake distribution
system is not working. This can result in vehicle
instability under sudden braking.
Have your vehicle inspected by a dealer immediately.
