Features of your vehicle
Parking brake & brake
fluid warning
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-diago-
nal 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  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.
CAUTION
If the  light comes  on  continuously
after adding the engine oil and trav-
eling   approximately   50  km,   take
your vehicle to your nearest author-
ized HYUNDAI  dealer and  have the
system checked.
Parking brake warning
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.
Even  if  this  light  doesn't  come  on
after  the   engine  has  started,  the
engine  oil  should  be  checked  and
supplied periodically.
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:
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. Then check all brake
components for fluid leaks.
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.
3.
Do  not drive  the  vehicle  if leaks  are
found, the warning light  remains on or
the  brakes  do  not  operate  properly.
Have   it   towed   to   any   authorized
HYUNDAI  dealer for  a  brake  system
inspection and necessary repairs.
