This warning light illuminates:
-
When you set the ignition switch to the ON position.
-
It illuminates for approximately 6 seconds and then goes off.
-
-
When there is a malfunction with the SRS.

For more details, refer to “Seat belts” in chapter 3.
This warning light illuminates:
-
When you set the ignition switch to the ON position.
-
It illuminates for approximately 3 seconds
-
It remains on if the parking brake is applied.
-
-
When the parking brake is applied.
-
When the brake fluid level in the reservoir is low.
-
If the warning light illuminates with the parking brake released, it indicates the brake fluid level in the reservoir is low.
-
If the brake fluid level in the reservoir is low:
-
Drive carefully to the nearest safe location and stop your vehicle.
-
With the engine stopped, check the brake fluid level immediately and add fluid as required (For more details, refer to “Brake/clutch fluid” in chapter 9). After adding brake fluid, check all brake components for fluid leaks. If a brake fluid leak is found, or if the warning light remains on, or if the brakes do not operate properly, do not drive the vehicle. We recommend that you have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle 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 vehicle.
Also, the vehicle 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 vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

Driving the vehicle with a warning light ON is dangerous. If the Parking Brake warning light illuminates with the parking brake released, it indicates that the brake fluid level is low.
In this case, we recommend that you have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
This warning light illuminates:
-
When you set the ignition switch to the ON position.
-
It illuminates for approximately 3 seconds and then goes off.

In this case, we recommend that you have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
These two warning lights illuminate at the same time while driving:
-
When the ABS and regular brake system may not work normally.
In this case, we recommend that you have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
