Hyundai Coupe Tiburon 2005 Owner's Manual page 312

If the oil pressure warning light
illuminates whilst the engine is run-
ning, stop the engine immediately
and check the engine oil level. If the
level is insufficient, add the required
amount of oil as indicated by the
engine oil dipstick. If the light fails
to extinguish when the engine is
restarted, do not continue to oper-
ate the vehicle.
If the oil pressure light illuminates
during normal operation and the
cause is not an insufficient oil level,
or the light fails to illuminate when
the ignition is turned "on", contact
the nearest Hyundai authorised re-
pairer before further operating the
vehicle.

WARNING LAMP
!
WARNING:
In the event of problems being sus-
pected 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 electrical
or hydraulic braking system defect
may be dangerous, resulting in acci-
dent or personal injury.
Warning lamp operation
The parking brake/brake fluid level
warning lamp will be illuminated when-
ever the ignition switch is turned to the
"ON" or "START" position when the
parking brake is applied and must be
extinguished in a three seconds after
the engine starts.
If the warning lamp fails to extinguish
or illuminates 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

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
fluid level is incorrect, fluid conforming
to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications should
be added. If, after correcting the brake
fluid level, the warning lamp continues
to be illuminated, the advice of the
nearest Hyundai authorised repairer
must be sought before the vehicle is
driven again.
The Hyundai Coupe is equipped with a
diagonally split dual braking system
which will ensure that in the event of
one of the brake circuits becoming
defective, approximately fifty per cent
of the normal braking performance 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 de-
rived from the engine and therefore, in
the event of the engine stopping or the
vehicle being towed, pedal efforts will
be substantially increased.
