The warning icon on a Hyundai Sonata indicates a potential issue with the vehicle. Warning lights may flash or blink red, signaling problems that need immediate attention. Common warning icons include:

- Parking brake and brake fluid warning light: Indicates the parking brake is applied or the brake fluid is low. If this light appears with the ABS warning, the brake system has malfunctioned, and the vehicle should not be driven.
- Master warning light: A triangle with an exclamation mark that serves as a catchall for multiple issues, such as low fuel level or an open door or trunk.
- Other warning lights: Include the airbag warning light, seatbelt warning light, ABS warning, electronic brake force distribution warning, engine oil pressure light, and charging system warning.

Each warning light represents a specific issue, and drivers should refer to the dashboard guide to determine the appropriate action.
