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
braking 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
working. If the brakes fail while you are driving,
shift to a lower gear for additional engine brak-
ing and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do
so.

Charging 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 6-10 by pushing down
on the center of the belt. And then have the
system checked by your Hyundai dealer.
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
B260L01Y-AAT
Door Ajar Warning Light
and Chime
The door ajar warning light warns you that a
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.
B260M01A-AAT
Low 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.
B260N01A-AAT
Malfunction Indicator Light
This light illuminates when there is a malfunc-
tion of an exhaust gas related component, and
the system is not functioning properly so that
the exhaust gas regulation values are not sat-
isfied. This light will also illuminate when the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, and
will go out in a few seconds. If it illuminates
while driving, or does not illuminate when the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, take
your car to your nearest authorized Hyundai
dealer and have the system checked.
B260P02Y-GAT
ABS Service Reminder
Indicator (If installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the
Anti-Lock Brake System SRI will come on and
then go off in a few seconds. If the ABS SRI
remains on, comes on while driving, or does not
come on when the key is turned to the "ON"
position, this indicates that there may be a
problem with the ABS.
If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by
your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. The
normal braking system will still be operational,
but without the assistance of the anti-lock brake
system.
CAUTION:
If the both ABS SRI and Parking Brake/
Brake fluid level warning lights remain "ON"
