The high beam indicator light comes on when-
ever the headlights are switched to the highbeam or flash position.
B260D01A-AAT
Turn Signal Indicator Lights
The blinking green arrows on the instrument
panel show the direction indicated by the turn signals. If the arrow comes on but does notblink, blinks more rapidly than normal, or doesnot illuminate at all, a malfunction in the turnsignal system is indicated. Your dealer shouldbe consulted for repairs. B260G01A-EAT
Low Oil Pressure Warning Light
CAUTION:
If the oil pressure warning light stays onwhilst the engine is running, serious enginedamage may result. The oil pressure warninglight comes on whenever there is insufficient oil pressure. In normal operation, it should come on when the ignition switch is turnedon, then go out when the engine is started. If the oil pressure warning light stays on
whilst the engine is running, there is a seri-ous malfunction.
If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is
safe to do so, turn off the engine and checkthe oil level. If the oil level is low, fill engineoil to the proper level and start the engineagain. If the light stays on with the enginerunning, turn the engine off immediately.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 3-3
WARNING: Whilst the engine is running, keep hands
and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury.
WARNING (Diesel only): Never work on injection system with engine
running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injec-tors and high pressure pipes are subject tohigh pressure even after the engine stopped.The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks maycause serious injury, if it touch the body.People using pacemakers should not movethan 30cm closer to the ECU or wiring har-ness within the engine room while engine isrunning, since the high currents in the Com-mon Rail system produce considerable mag-netic fields.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or coolant is leaking out, stop the engine imme- diately and call the nearest Hyundai dealerfor assistance.
WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot since steam and boiling water may be ejected from the radiator resulting inburns or scalding. YD050A1-E
SPARE TYRE For Full Size
The following instructions for the FULL SIZE
spare tyre should be observed:

ENGINE OIL
The correct engine oil level is of paramount
importance. An excessively high or low oil level may result in irreparable damage being sus-tained by the engine. The engine oil level mustbe checked on a daily basis, whenever thevehicle is refuelled or before starting a long trip,whichever occurs sooner.
In addition, it is imperative that only an ap-
proved grade and specification of oil is used toavoid the possibility of serious engine damageand premature wear. The use of "budget price"oil is a false economy that must be avoided ifthe maximum reliability and useful life is to beobtained from the vehicle.
SG020B1-E
DAILY OPERATING CHECKS The following items should be checked on a
daily basis or whenever the vehicle is refuelled,whichever occurs sooner.
o Engine oil level.
o Coolant level.
o Power steering fluid level.
o Brake fluid level.
o Windscreen washer fluid level.
o Battery condition.
o Tyre condition and pressures.
o Operation and cleanliness of all lighting equipment.
o Windscreen wiper and washer operation.
o Horn operation.
o Warning light operation.
o Adjustment and cleanliness of mirrors.
o Seat and seat belt adjustment and opera- tion.
o Fluid leakage.
The vehicle must not be driven if the daily
operating checks indicate that any item of equip-ment related to the safety or roadworthiness ofthe vehicle is not functioning correctly. G030B01HP-EAT
Recommended Oil
1. Petrol Engine
A multi grade oil having a specification which
meets A.P.I. specification of SG, SG/CD, SH or SH/CD is recommended. The oil viscosity shouldbe selected according to the operating environ-ment of the engine by means of the table shownabove. The engine oil recommendations arecomplete in themselves and the use of addi-tives is neither required nor recommended. Theuse of engine oil additives may result in invali-dation of the vehicle warranty.
NOTE:The use of a 5W-20 multi grade oil is not
recommended for sustained high speed use.
