2016 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  por-
tion 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  nor-
mal operation, it should come on
when the ignition switch is turned
on, then go out  when the engine
is started.If the oil pressure warn-
ing   light  stays   on   while   the
engine is running, there is a seri-
ous malfunction.
Parking brake warning
This  light   is  illuminated  when   the
parking brake is applied with the igni-
tion switch in the START or ON posi-
tion. 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.
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.
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.
WARNING
Driving the vehicle with  a warn-
ing light on  is dangerous. If the
brake warning light remains on,
have  the  brakes  checked   and
repaired    immediately    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 prop-
erly. Have the vehicle towed to any
authorized HYUNDAI  dealer for  a
brake system  inspection and nec-
essary repairs.
