Indicators and Warning Lights

Information - Warning Lights

Make sure all warning lights turn off after starting the engine. If a warning light remains on, find out why.

Airbag Warning Light

This warning light illuminates in the following cases:

• When the ignition switch or Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON position.
  - Illuminates for approximately 6 seconds, then turns off.
• If there is a malfunction in the SRS.
  In this case, we recommend that you have your vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Seat Belt Reminder Light

This warning light informs the driver that the seat belt is not fastened.

For more information, refer to "Seat Belts" in Chapter 2.

Parking Brake and Brake Fluid Warning Light

This warning light illuminates in the following cases:

• When the ignition switch or Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON position.
  - Illuminates for approximately three seconds.
  - Remains on when 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 remains on when the parking brake is released, this indicates that the brake fluid level is low.

If the brake fluid level in the reservoir is low:

1. Drive carefully until you find a safe place to stop the vehicle.

2. With the engine off, immediately check the brake fluid level and add fluid if necessary (for more information, refer to "Brake Fluid" in Chapter 7). Then check the brake system components for fluid leaks.

Do not drive the vehicle again if there is a leak, the warning light remains on, or the brakes do not operate properly. In this case, we recommend having the vehicle towed to an authorized and certified HYUNDAI dealer.

Diagonal Dual-Circuit Brake System

Your vehicle is equipped with a diagonal dual-circuit brake system. This means that if one part of the dual brake system fails, the brakes will still operate on two wheels.

When only one part of the dual system is operating, the brake pedal will travel farther than normal, and you will need to press harder to stop the vehicle.

In addition, the vehicle will not stop as quickly as usual if only part of the dual brake system is operating.

If the brakes fail while driving, use engine braking to increase the braking effect and stop the vehicle in a safe place.

WARNING

Parking Brake and Brake Fluid Warning Light

It is dangerous to drive the vehicle with the light on. If the parking brake and brake fluid warning light is on, it indicates low brake fluid level.

In this case, we recommend that you have your vehicle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light

This warning light illuminates in the following cases:

• When the ignition key or the engine START/STOP button is in the ON position.

  In this case, we recommend that you have your vehicle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Electronic Power Steering (EPS) Warning Light

This warning light illuminates in the following cases:

• When the ignition key or the engine START/STOP button is in the ON position.
  - It will remain illuminated until the engine starts.

  In this case, we recommend that you have your vehicle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Check Engine Warning Light (MIL)

This warning light illuminates in the following cases:

• When the ignition key or the engine START/STOP button is in the ON position.
  - It will remain illuminated until the engine starts.
