Parking Brake & Brake
Fluid Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
• When you set the ignition switch to
the ON position.
- It illuminates for about 3 seconds
- It remains on if the parking brake is
applied.
• When the parking brake is applied.
• When the brake fluid level in the res-
ervoir is low.
- If the warning light illuminates with
the parking brake released, it indi-
cates the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low.
If the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe
location and stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check the
brake fluid level immediately and
add fluid as required (For more
details, refer to "Brake Fluid" in
chapter 9). After adding brake fluid,
check all brake components for fluid
leaks. If a brake fluid leak is found, or
if the warning light remains on, or if
the brakes do not operate properly,
do not drive the vehicle. We recom-
mend that you have the vehicle
inspected by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-di-
agonal braking systems. This means
you still have braking on two wheels
even if one of the dual systems should
fail.
With only one of the dual systems work-
ing, more than normal pedal travel and
greater pedal pressure are required to
stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as short
a distance with only a portion of the
brake system working.
If the brakes fail whilst you are driving,
shift to a lower gear for additional
engine braking and stop the vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so.
