warning light
If  the   oil  pressure   warning  light
stays  on  while  the  engine is  run-
ning,  serious engine  damage  may
result.  The   oil  pressure   warning
light  comes  on whenever  there  is
insufficient 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 is a serious malfunc-
tion.
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    immediately.   In    any
instance where the oil light stays on
when  the   engine  is   running,  the
engine  should  be  checked  by   an
authorized  HYUNDAI dealer  before
the car is driven again.
This warning light indicates the engine oil
pressure is low.
If the warning light illuminates while driv-
ing:
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.
1.
Drive safely to the side of the road and
stop.
2.
With the  engine off, check  the engine
oil level.  If the  level is low,  add oil  as
required.
Low brake fluid level warning
If  the warning  light  remains  on,  it may
indicate that  the  brake fluid  level in  the
reservoir is low.
If  the   warning  light   remains  on   after
adding oil or if oil is  not available, call an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
If the warning light remains on:
1.
Drive  carefully   to  the   nearest   safe
location and stop your vehicle.
CAUTION
2. With  the  engine  stopped,  check  the
brake fluid  level immediately  and add
fluid as required. Then check all brake
components for fluid leaks.
3. 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.
If the  engine is  not stopped imme-
diately after the engine oil pressure
warning light  is illuminated, severe
damage could result.
