spection. If further trouble is experienced, the
vehicle should not be driven at all but taken
to a dealer by a professional towing service
or some other safe method.
Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal
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 half 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.

Charging System Warning Light
The charging system warning light should
come on when the ignition is turned on, then
go out when the engine is running. If the light
stays on while the engine is running, there is
a malfunction in the electrical charging sys-
tem. If the light comes on while you are
driving, stop, turn off the engine and check
under the hood. First, make certain the gen-
erator drive belt is in place. If it is, check the
tension of the belt. Do this as shown on page
6-12 by pushing down on the center of the
belt. And then have the system checked by
your Hyundai dealer.

and Chime
The door ajar warning light warns you that a

NOTE:
To remind you not to lock the key inside
the car, the warning light comes on when-
ever the key is in the "LOCK" position and
a door is open. The warning chime only
sounds whenever the key is in the "LOCK"
position and driver's side front door is
open. The chime sounds and the light
remains on until the key is removed from
the ignition.

Low Fuel Level Warning Light
The low fuel level warning light comes on
when the fuel tank is approaching empty.
When it comes on, you should add fuel as
soon as possible. Driving with the fuel level
warning light on or with the fuel level below

age the catalytic converter.

Parking Brake/Brake Fluid Level
Warning Light
WARNING:
If you suspect brake trouble, have your
brakes checked by a Hyundai dealer as
soon as possible. Driving your car with a
problem in either the brake electrical sys-
tem or brake hydraulic system is danger-
ous, and could result in a serious injury or
death.
Warning Light Operation
The parking brake/brake fluid level warning
light should come on when the parking brake
is applied and the ignition switch is turned to
"ON" or "START". After the engine is started,
the light should go out when the parking brake
is released.
If the parking brake is not applied, the warning
light should come on when the ignition switch
is turned to "ON" or "START", then go out
when the engine starts. If the light comes on
at any other time, you should slow the vehicle
and bring it to a complete stop in a safe
location off the roadway.
The brake warning light indicates that the
brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder
is low and hydraulic brake fluid conforming to
DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications should be
added. After adding fluid, if no other trouble is
found, the car should be immediately and
carefully driven to a Hyundai dealer for in-
