B260P02Y-AAT ABS Service Reminder Indica- tor (SRI) (If installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the ABS SRI will come on and then go off in a fewseconds. If the ABS SRI remains on, comes onwhile driving, or does not come on when the keyis turned to the "ON" position, this indicates thatthere may be a problem with the ABS. If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. The normalbraking system will still be operational, but with-out the assistance of the anti-lock brake system.

Turn Signal Indicator Lights
The blinking green arrows on the instrumentpanel show the direction indicated by the turnsignals. If the arrow comes on but does notilluminate, blinks more rapidly than normal, ordoes not illuminate at all, a malfunction in the turnsignal system is indicated. Your dealer should beconsulted for repairs. B260G01A-AAT
Oil Pressure Warning Light
CAUTION: If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is running, serious enginedamage may result. The oil pressure warninglight comes on whenever there is insufficientoil pressure. In normal operation, it shouldcome on when the ignition switch is turnedon, then go out when the engine is started. Ifthe oil pressure warning light stays on whilethe engine is running, there is a seriousmalfunction.If this happens, stop the car as soon as it issafe to do so, turn off the engine and checkthe oil level. If the oil level is low, fill the engineoil to the proper level and start the engineagain. If the light stays on with the enginerunning, turn the engine off immediately. Inany instance where the oil light stays onwhen the engine is running, the engine shouldbe checked by an Hyundai dealer before thecar is driven again.
B260E02A-GAT Seat Belt Reminder Light
The seat belt reminder light comes on until your seat belt is fastened when the ignition key isturned from the "OFF" position to "ON" or"START".B260H03A-AAT Parking Brake/Brake Fluid Level Warning Light

TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING
If you are considering towing with your car, you
should first check with your Province Depart- ment of Motor Vehicles to determine their legal
requirements. Since laws vary from province to province the
requirements for towing trailers, cars, or other types of vehicles or apparatus may differ. Askyour Hyundai dealer for further details beforetowing.
CAUTION: Do not do any towing with your car during
its first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) in order to allow the engine to properly break in. Fail-ure to heed this caution may result in seri-ous engine or transaxle damage.
C190B01S-AAT
Trailer Hitches Select the proper hitch and ball combination,
making sure that it's location is compatible withthat of the trailer or vehicle being towed.
Use a quality non-equalizing hitch which distrib-
utes the tongue load uniformly throughout thechassis.
The hitch should be bolted securely to the car
and installed by a qualified technician. DO NOTUSE A HITCH DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARYINSTALLATION AND NEVER USE ONE THATATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.
C170A01A-AAT
HIGHER SPEED MOTORING Pre-Trip Inspections 1. Tires: Adjust the tire inflation pressures to specifica-
tion driving. Low tire inflation pressures will result in overheating and possible failure of thetires.
Avoid using worn or damaged tires which may
result in reduced traction or tire failure.
NOTE: Never exceed the maximum tire inflation
pressure shown on the tires.
2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil:High speed travel consumes 1.5 times more
fuel than urban motoring. Do not forget to check both engine coolant and engine oil. 3. Drive belt:
A loose or damaged drive belt may result in
overheating of the engine.
C180A01A-AAT
USE OF LIGHTS Check your lights regularly for correct operation
and always keep them clean. When driving during the day in conditions of poor visibility, itis helpful to drive with headlights on low beam.This enables you to be seen as well as to see.
rarily while you put the gear selector lever in"P" (automatic transaxle) or in first or reversegear (manual transaxle) and block the rearwheels so the car cannot roll. Then release theparking brake.
C160J01A-AAT
Don't Let Ice and Snow Accumulate Underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice can build
up under the fenders and interfere with the steering. When driving in severe winter condi-tions where this may happen, you should peri-odically check underneath the car to be surethe movement of the front wheels and thesteering components are not obstructed.
C160K01A-AAT
Carry Emergency Equipment
Depending on the severity of the weather where
you drive your car, you should carry appropri-ate emergency equipment. Some of the itemsyou may want to carry include tire chains, towstraps or chains, flashlight, emergency flares,sand, a shovel, jumper cables, a windowscraper, gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blan-ket, etc.

To Check the Oil Level G030D01A-GAT Adding Oil
AS60050A
L
F
Before checking the oil, warm up the engine to
the normal operating temperature and be sure your car is parked on level ground. Turn theengine off.
Wait a minute, then remove the dipstick, wipe it
off, fully reinsert the dipstick and withdraw itagain. Then note the highest level the oil hasreached on the dipstick. It should be betweenthe upper ("FULL") and lower ("LOW") range. If the oil level is close to or below the "L" mark,add oil until it reaches the "F" mark. To add oil:
1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counter-
clockwise.
2. Add oil, then check the level again. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clockwise. The distance between the "F" and "L" marks is equal to about 1 liter of oil. G350A01A-GAT
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION Function of Engine Oil
Engine oil has the primary function of lubricat-
ing and cooling the inside of the engine. Engine oil consumption
It is normal that an engine should consume
some engine oil while normal driving. The cause of oil consumption in a normal engine are asfollows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall when a piston moves downwards in thecylinder. High negative pressure generated
during engine operation sucks some of theoil into the combustion chamber. This oil with some oil of the cylinder wall is
burned by the high temperature combustiongases during the combustion process.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly ef- fected by the viscosity and quality of oil,engine rpm and driving condition etc. Theengine oil is more consumed under severedriving conditions such as high speeds and
frequent acceleration and deceleration thannormal driving condition.

CHECKING AND CHANGING THE EN- GINE COOLANT
WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. When the engine is hot, theengine coolant is under pressure and mayerupt through the opening if the cap isremoved. You could be seriously burned ifyou do not observe this precaution. Do notremove the radiator cap until the radiator iscool to the touch.
8. Before installing the new oil filter on the engine, apply clean engine oil to the surface of the rubber gasket. Temporarily tighten the oil filter by hand.

NOTE:
o Be careful not to drop the engine oil on the rubber parts of the engine mounting insulator.
o You can purchase the SST from your Hyundai dealer.
o If you aren't sure how to use, consult your Hyundai dealer.
10. Refill the crankcase with the recommended engine oil. Refer to the specification in chap-ter 9 for engine oil capacity.
11. Start the engine and check to be sure no oil is leaking from the drain plug or oil filter.
12. Shut off the engine and recheck the oil level. NOTE: Always dispose of used engine oil in an
environmentally acceptable manner. It is sug- gested that it be placed in a sealed container
and taken to a service station for reclama-tion. Do not pour the oil on the ground orput it into the household trash.
WARNING: Used motor oil may cause irritation or can-
cer of the skin if left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods of time. Wash yourhands thoroughly with soap and warm wa-ter as soon as possible after handling usedoil.
