2011 Hyundai Elantra Owners Manual

Features of your vehicle
Parking brake & brake fluid
warning light
Your  vehicle  is  equipped   with  a  dual-
diagonal braking system.This means you
still have  braking on  two wheels  even if
one of  the brake  circuits is  damaged or
malfunctions.With only one of the circuits
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 a portion
of   the  brake   system   working.  If   the
brakes fail while you are driving, shift to a
lower gear  for additional  engine braking
and stop the  car as soon  as it is safe  to
do so.
Low tire pressure
telltale
Parking brake warning
The low  tire pressure  telltale illuminates
when one or more  of your tires is signifi-
cantly underinflated.
Inflate  your tires  to  the correct  inflation
pressure.
The  low tire  pressure telltale  will  illumi-
nate after it  blinks for approximately one
minute when there  is a problem with the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
If this  occurs, have  the system checked
by  an  authorized  HYUNDAI  dealer   as
soon as possible.
This light is illuminated when the parking
brake is applied with the ignition switch in
the START  or ON position. The  warning
light  should   go  off  when   the  parking
brake is released.
Low brake fluid level warning
If  the warning  light  remains  on,  it may
indicate that  the  brake fluid  level in  the
reservoir is low.
To check  bulb operation,  check whether
the parking brake and brake fluid warning
light illuminates  when the ignition switch
is in the ON position.
If the warning light remains on:
1.
Drive  carefully   to  the   nearest   safe
location and stop your vehicle.
For details, refer to theTPMS on chapter 6.
2.
With  the  engine  stopped,  check  the
brake fluid  level immediately  and add
fluid as required. Then check all brake
components for fluid leaks.
Do  not drive  the  vehicle  if leaks  are
found, the warning light  remains on or
the  brakes  do  not  operate  properly.
Have the vehicle towed  to any author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer for  a brake sys-
tem inspection and necessary repairs.
WARNING - Low tire pres-
sure
WARNING
Driving the  vehicle with  a  warning
light on  is dangerous.  If the  brake
warning light  remains on, have the
brakes checked and repaired imme-
diately  by an  authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Significantly
low    tire   pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and can
contribute to loss of vehicle control
and increased braking distances.
3.
Continued driving on tires with  low
pressure   will  cause   the  tires   to
overheat and fail.
