LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING
LIGHT
CAUTION:If the oil pressure warning light stays on while
the engine is running, serious engine damage
may result. The oil pressure warning light
comes on whenever there is insufficient oil
pressure. In normal operation, it should come
on when the ignition switch is turned on, then
go out when the engine is started. If the oil
pressure warning light stays on while the
engine is running, there is a serious malfunc-
tion.
If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is
safe to do so, turn off the engine and check the
oil level. If the oil level is low, fill the engine oil
to the proper level and start the engine again.
If the light stays on with the engine running,
turn the engine off immediately. In any in-
stance where the oil light stays on when the
engine is running, the engine should be
checked by a Hyundai dealer before the car is
driven again.

PARKING BRAKE/
LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
WARNING LIGHT
CAUTION:
If you suspect brake trouble, have your brakes
checked by a Hyundai dealer as soon as pos-
sible. Driving your car with a problem in either
the brake electrical system or brake hydraulic
system is dangerous, and could result in se-
rious injury or death.
Warning Light Operation
The parking brake/brake fluid level warning light
should come on when the parking brake is
applied and the ignition switch is turned to "ON"
or "START". After the engine is started, the light
should go out when the parking brake is re-
leased.
If the parking brake is not applied, the warning
light should come on when the ignition switch is
turned to "ON" or "START", then go out when
the engine starts. If the light comes on at any
other time, you should slow the vehicle and
bring it to a complete stop in a safe location off
the roadway.
!
The brake fluid level warning light indicates
that the brake fluid level in the brake master
cylinder is low and brake fluid conforming to
DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications should be
added. After adding fluid, if no other trouble is
found, the car should be immediately and
carefully driven to a Hyundai dealer for
inspection. If further trouble is experienced,
the vehicle should not be driven at all but taken
to a dealer by a professional towing service.
Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal
braking systems. This means you still have
braking on two wheels even if one of the dual
systems should fail. With only one of the dual
systems working, more than normal pedal travel
and greater pedal pressure are required to stop
the car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a
distance with only a portion of the brake system
working. If the brakes fail while you are driving,
shift to a lower gear for additional engine braking
and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so.

Always engage the parking brake before leav-
ing the car. This also turns on the parking
brake indicator light when the key is in the

be sure that the parking brake is fully released
and the indicator light is off.
o To engage the parking brake, pull the lever
up as far as possible.
o To release the parking brake, pull up the
lever and press the thumb button. Then,
while holding the button in, lower the brake
lever.

90CARE OF CASSETTE TAPESCARE OF DISC
B850A02F-AAT
Proper Handling
Handle your disc as shown. Do not drop the
disc. Hold the disc so you will not leave
fingerprints on the surface. If the surface is
scratched, it may cause the pickup to skip
signal tracks. Do not affix tape, paper, or
gummed labels on the disc. Do not write on the
disc.
Damaged Disc
Do not attempt to play damaged, warped or
cracked discs. It could severely damage the
playback mechanism.
Storage
When not in use, place your discs in their
individual case and store them in a cool place
away from the sun, heat, and dust.
Do not grip or pull out the disc with your hand
while the disc is being pulled into the unit by the
Self Loading mechanism.
Keep Your Discs Clean
Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface could
cause the pickup to skip signal tracks. Wipe
the surface clean with a clean soft cloth. If the
surface is heavily soiled, dampen a clean soft
cloth in a solution of mild neutral detergent to
wipe it clean. See drawing.

B860A01LProper care of your cassette tapes will extend
the tape life and increase your listening enjoy-
ment. Always protect your tapes and cassette
cases from direct sunlight, severely cold and
dusty conditions. When not in use, cassettes
should always be stored in the protective cas-
sette case in which they were originally sup-
plied. When the vehicle is very hot or cold, allow
the interior temperature to become more com-
fortable before listening to your cassettes.

o Keep all magnetized objects, such as elec-
tric motors, speakers or transformers away
from your cassette tapes and tape player
unit.
o Store cassettes in a cool, dry place with the
open side facing down to prevent dust from
settling in the cassette body.
o Avoid repeated fast reverse usage to re-
play one given tune or tape section. This
can cause poor tape winding to occur, and
eventually cause excessive internal drag
and poor audio quality in the cassette. If
this occurs, it can sometimes be corrected
by fast winding the tape from end to end
several times. If this does not correct the
problem, do not continue to use the tape in
your vehicle.Head

o Never leave a cassette inserted in the
player when not being played. This could
damage the tape player unit and the cas-
sette tape.
o We strongly recommend against the use of
tapes longer than C-60 (60 minutes total).
Tapes such as C-120 or C-180 are very thin
and do not perform as well in the automotive
environment.
o Be sure that the cassette label is not loose
or peeling off or tape ejection may be
difficult.
o Never touch or soil the actual audio tape
surfaces.o The playback head, capstan and pinch
rollers will develop a coating of tape residue
that can result in deterioration of sound
quality, such as a wavering sound. They
should be cleaned monthly using a com-
mercially available head cleaning tape or
special solution available from audio spe-
cialty shops. Follow the supplier's direc-
tions carefully and never oil any part of the
tape player unit.
o Always be sure that the tape is tightly
wound on its reel before inserting in the
player. Rotate a pencil in the drive sprock-
ets to wind up any slack.

!WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!C010A03A-AATEngine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately.
o Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.
o Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change
in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the exhaust system checked
as soon as possible by your Hyundai dealer.
o Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the engine in your garage any
longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out.
o Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake
set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
If you must drive with the trunk lid/ tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield are kept clear
of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.
!PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:Engine exhaust and a wide variety of automobile components and parts, including components found in the interior furnishings
in a vehicle, contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and reproductive harm.
In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
