Door Ajar Warning Light and
Chime
The door ajar warning light warns you that
a door is not completely closed and the
chime warns you that the key is in the
ignition switch.
NOTE :
The warning chime only sounds
whenever the key is in the ignition switch
and the driver's side front door is open
simultaneously. The chime sounds until
the key is removed from the ignition
switch or the driver's side front door is
closed.
B260M01A-AAT
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 "E" can cause the engine to misfire
and damage the catalytic converter.
B260N02A-AAT
Check Engine - Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL)
This light illuminates when there is a
malfunction of an exhaust gas related
component, and the system is not
functioning properly so that the exhaust
gas regulation values are not satisfied. This
light will also illuminate when the ignition key
is turned to the "ON" position, and will go out
in a few seconds after the engine is started.
If it illuminates while driving, or does not
illuminate when the ignition key is turned to
the "ON" position, take your car to your
nearest authorized Hyundai dealer and have
the system checked.
The brake fluid level 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 inspection. If further
trouble is experienced, the vehicle should
not be driven at all but taken to a dealer by
a professional towing service.
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. B260J01NF-AAT
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 system. If the light comes
on while you are driving, have the system
checked by your Hyundai dealer as soon
as possible.
B260K01S-AAT
Trunk Lid Open Warning Light
This light remains on unless the trunk lid is
completely closed and latched.
