Parking Brake/Low Brake Fluid
Level Level Warning Light
The brake fluid level warning light indicates that
the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder
is low  and hydraulic brake fluid  conforming to
DOT  3  or  DOT  4  specifications   should  be
added. After adding fluid,  if no other trouble is
found, the car should be immediately and care-
fully driven to a  Hyundai dealer for inspection.
If  further  trouble  is experienced,  the  vehicle
should not be driven 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,
shifttoalowergearforadditionalenginebraking
and stop the car as soon as it is  safe to do so.

CAUTION:
If  the oil  pressure  warning light  stays  on
while the engine is running, serious engine
damage may result. The  oil pressure warn-
ing  light comes on whenever there is insuf-
ficient oil  pressure. In normal  operation, it
should  come on  when the  ignition  switch
is turned  on, then go  out when the  engine
is started.  If the oil  pressure warning  light
stays on while the  engine is running, there
may be  a serious  malfunction.
If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is
safe to do so, turn off the engine and check
the  oil level.  If the  oil  level is  low, fill  the
engine oil  to the proper level  and start the
engine again.  If the light  stays on with  the
engine running,  turn the  engine off  imme-
diately. In  any instance  where the  oil light
stays  on when  the engine  is  running, the
engine  should  be  checked  by  a Hyundai
dealer before  the car is driven  again.
WARNING:
If  you  suspect  brake  trouble,   have  your
brakes  checked  by  a  Hyundai   dealer  as
soon as  possible.  Driving your  car with  a
problem in  either the  brake electrical  sys-
tem  or brake  hydraulic system  is  danger-
ous, and could result  in a serious injury or
death.
