Additional passive restraint system malfunction indicator lamp (SRS) (SRI) (additional equipment).
This indicator light (SRI) comes on and flashes for approximately 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position or after the engine is started, and then goes out.
This indicator light also comes on if there is a malfunction in the supplemental restraint system (SRS). If the indicator light (SRI) does not come on or remains on after flashing for approximately 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position or comes on while the vehicle is being driven, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
Anti-lock brake system malfunction indicator lamp (ABS) (SRI) (additional equipment).
After turning the ignition key to the "ON" position, the anti-lock brake system malfunction indicator lamp comes on (ABS SRI) and then goes out after a few seconds.
If this light remains on, comes on while driving, or does not come on after turning the ignition key to the "ON" position, it indicates a malfunction of the anti-lock brake system (ABS). If this occurs, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. The standard brake system will continue to operate, but without the assistance of the anti-lock brake system (ABS).
Caution! If the anti-lock brake system malfunction indicator lamp (ABS SRI) and the parking brake/brake fluid warning light remain on after the engine has started or come on while the vehicle is moving, there may be a malfunction in the EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution) system. If this occurs, avoid sudden braking and have the vehicle checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.
Overdrive disengagement indicator lamp (optional equipment).
When the overdrive is engaged, the overdrive off indicator lamp is off. When the overdrive is disengaged, this lamp lights up red.
Direction indicator lamps.
The green arrow on the instrument panel indicates the direction of the turn. If the arrow lights up but does not flash, flashes too quickly, or does not flash at all, this indicates a fault in the electrical circuit of the turn signals.
High beam indicator lamp.
This indicator lamp comes on when the high beam headlights are on or when the headlights are flashing.
Oil pressure warning light.
Driving with low engine oil or with the oil pressure warning light on may cause engine failure (scuffing, seizure, etc.). If this light comes on while the engine is running, the engine oil pressure is below the minimum permissible value. In good condition, this light comes on when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position and goes out after the engine starts. If this light remains on after the engine starts, there is a serious engine malfunction. In this case, immediately stop the car in a safe place, turn off the engine and check the engine oil level.
If the oil level is below the minimum, add oil to the engine to the normal level and start the engine again. If the light remains on after starting the engine, turn it off immediately.
Parking brake/brake fluid level warning light.
Operation of the control lamp.
The parking brake/brake fluid warning light should come on when the parking brake is applied and the ignition key is turned to the "ON" or "START" position. After the engine starts, the light should go out when the parking brake is released.
When the parking brake is released, the parking brake/brake fluid warning light should illuminate when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" or "START" position and go out when the engine starts. If this light comes on at any other time, slow down and stop the vehicle completely at the side of the road in a safe place. The brake system warning light indicates that the brake fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir is below the minimum level and that DOT3 or DOT4 brake fluid must be added.
If any faults in the brake system are detected, the vehicle must not be driven. The vehicle is equipped with a dual-circuit diagonal braking system. This means that even if one of the brake circuits is damaged, both wheels can be used for braking. In this case, more force on the brake pedal and a longer brake pedal travel will be required to stop the vehicle. Moreover, the vehicle's braking distance will be increased. If one of the brake circuits fails, engage a lower gear to use the engine braking effect to stop the vehicle.
Low battery indicator light.
This light comes on when the ignition key is in the "ON" position and goes out after the engine starts. If this light stays on after the engine starts, there is a problem with the charging system. If the light comes on while the vehicle is moving, stop the vehicle immediately and look under the hood. First, check the alternator drive belt for damage, and if it is, check its tension.
Warning! If the alternator drive belt becomes loose or breaks while the vehicle is moving, it can cause serious engine damage. The engine may overheat because this belt also drives the engine coolant pump.
Rear door open warning light.
This lamp remains on until the rear door is completely closed.
Door open warning light.
This lamp warns that one of the side doors of the car is not closed tightly.
Fuel reserve indicator light.
This lamp lights up when the fuel level in the fuel tank reaches the minimum reserve value. When this lamp lights up, it indicates that refueling is required. Driving the vehicle with the fuel reserve indicator lamp on or if the fuel level is below the "E" (empty) mark may cause misfires and damage the catalytic converter.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) (optional equipment).
This lamp lights up when a fault is detected in the components (parts) related to the emission control systems. It also lights up when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position and should go out after a few seconds (only on models with an engine capacity of 1.5 / 1.6 liters).
This light comes on when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position and then goes out immediately after the engine starts (1.8L models only). If this light comes on while the vehicle is being driven or does not come on after the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, take the vehicle to your nearest authorized Hyundai dealer to have the systems checked.
Traction Control Light (TCL) (optional).
This indicator lamp lights up according to the position of the ignition key and indicates that this system is operating.
The lamp comes on when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position and goes out after a few seconds.
Sound alarm buzzer (additional equipment)
The horn buzzer sounds when the tail lights are on and the driver's door is opened. This serves to prevent the battery from being discharged when the car is left with the tail lights on. This buzzer will sound until the tail lights are turned off.
Parking brake warning buzzer (optional)
If the vehicle is moving at a speed of more than 10 km/h for 2-3 seconds and the parking brake is applied, the warning buzzer sounds continuously.
Buzzer signaling wear of brake pads
The front disc brake pads have wear indicators that make a high-pitched squealing sound when the pad is completely worn out, signaling the need to replace the front brake pads. While driving, this sound may appear and disappear or be constant. It can also be heard when pressing hard on the brake pedal. If you drive with worn brake pads, you can damage the brake disc.
