If your vehicle is equipped with the supervision type cluster, the warning text is double informed on the dot ma-trix display. The warning text comes on for about 20 seconds. If you push the RESET button behind the steeringwheel, the warning text will go out.
CAUTION:
If the low oil pressure warning lightstays on while the engine is running, serious engine damage may result. The low oil pressure warning lightcomes on whenever there is insuffi- cient oil pressure. In normal opera- tion, it should come on when the ignition switch is turned on, then go out when the engine is started. If thelow oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is running, there is a serious malfunction.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 theoil level is low, fill engine oil to the proper level and start the engine again. If the light stays on with theengine running, turn the engine off immediately. In any instance where the oil light stays on when the engineis running, the engine should be checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer before the car is driven again.

C160G01A-GAT To Keep Locks from Freezing To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an approved de-icer fluid or glycerineinto the key opening. If a lock is cov- ered with ice, squirt it with an approved de-icing fluid to remove the ice. If thelock is frozen internally, you may be able to thaw it out by using a heated key. Handle the heated key with careto avoid burning your fingers. NOTE: The proper temperature for using the immobilizer key is from -40°C (- 40°F) to 80°C (176°F). If you heat the immobilizer key over 80°C (176°F) toopen the frozen lock, it may cause damage to the transponder in its head.
C160D01A-AAT Check Battery and Cables Winter puts additional burdens on the battery system. Visually inspect thebattery and cables as described in Section 6. The level of charge in your battery can be checked by your Hyundaidealer or a service station.
