Features of your vehicle
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.
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring
System) indicator (if equipped)
Low tire pressure telltale
WARNING - Low tire pres-
sure
Significantly
low tire pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and can
contribute to loss of vehicle control
and increased braking distances.
Low tire pressure position
telltale (if equipped)
Continued driving on tires with low
pressure will cause the tires to
overheat and fail.
The low tire pressure telltale and low tire
position telltale illuminate when one or
more of your tires is significantly underin-
flated.
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.
WARNING - Safe stopping
The TPMS cannot alert you to
severe and sudden tire damage
caused by external factors.
If you feel any vehicle instability,
immediately take your foot off the
accelerator, apply the brakes
gradually and with light force,
and slowly move to a safe posi-
tion off the road.
To check bulb operation, check whether
the parking brake and brake fluid warning
light illuminates when the ignition switch
is in the ON position.

diately by an authorized HYUNDAI
