2014 Hyundai Sonata 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.
CAUTION
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
