Hyundai Vehicle Service Warning Indicators

    

Dashboard indicators inform you about your Hyundai's needs. Some of these indicators give reminders, and others provide warnings. This list will help you know the difference.

Airbag Fault

Airbag Fault

Your car's control module has detected a problem in your airbag components. Proper deployment in a crash is uncertain as a result. For your safety, we recommend immediate professional repair.

Low Fuel Level Warning Light

Low Fuel Level Warning Light

Let this light be your signal to immediately find a place to fill your gas tank. Your owner's manual can tell you how much fuel you have left when this light appears.

Oil Pressure Warning Light

Oil Pressure Warning Light

You cannot drive on low oil pressure without causing serious engine damage. Check your oil level and add oil if needed. If the light stays on after adding oil, the cause of the low pressure is mechanical. Your car will need repairs before it can safely run again.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)

Proper tire pressure is critical to your safety, so do not ignore this light. Check and adjust your tires' air to the level recommended by Hyundai. You'll find that info on the driver's doorjamb. If this indicator remains lit after you resume your trip, your TPMS sensors may be malfunctioning.

When this light appears, you have a brake-pressure problem. Your brake lines may require bleeding or leak-repair. Never ignore this light. Seek professional brake-system service soon.

This light can indicate an open door or, on some vehicles, an open trunk. Secure your doors before you drive.
