If the level is insufficient, add the required amount of oil as indicated by the engine oil dipstick. If the lightfails to extinguish when the engine is restarted, do not continue to oper- ate the vehicle.If the oil pressure light illuminates during normal operation and the cause is not an insufficient oil level,or the light fails to illuminate when the ignition is turned "on", contact the nearest Hyundai authorised re-pairer before further operating the vehicle.
B260N02A-EAT Malfunction Indicator
Light (Not all models)
This light illuminates when there is a malfunction of an exhaust gas relatedcomponent, and the system is not func- tioning properly so that the exhaust gas regulation values are not satisfied. Thislight will also illuminate when the igni- tion key is turned to the "ON" position, and then it will go out in a few secondsafter the engine is started. If it illumi- nates whilst driving, or does not illumi- nate when the ignition key is turned tothe "ON" position, take your car to your nearest Hyundai authorised repairer and have the system checked.SB210P1-E Low Fuel Level Warning Light
The low fuel warning light serves to warn the driver that the remaining fuelquantity is approximately 9 litres and that the vehicle should be refuelled. If the vehicle is driven for an extendedperiod with the low fuel warning light illuminated there exists a possibility that misfiring due to fuel shortage mayoccur. This situation must be avoided to prevent damage to the catalyst oc- curring.

Parking Brake/ Low Brake Fluid LevelWarning LightIf failure of one of the circuits occurs, the required amount of pedal effort,pedal travel and stopping distance will be increased. Use of the gearbox is recommended to assist in bringing thevehicle to rest. The vehicle must not be driven once brake failure has occurred until the system has been repaired andis functioning normally. The braking system employs a vacuum servo in order that the pedal efforts arereduced. Power for the servo is derived from the engine and therefore, in the event of the engine stopping or thevehicle being towed, pedal efforts will be substantially increased.
WARNING:
In the event of problems being sus-pected with the braking system, the advice of the nearest Hyundaiauthorised repairer must be sought before the vehicle is driven. Driving the vehicle with either an electricalor hydraulic braking system defect may be dangerous, resulting in acci- dent or personal injury. Warning light operation The parking brake/brake fluid level warn- ing light will be illuminated wheneverthe ignition switch is turned to the "ON" or "START" position when the parking brake is applied and must be extin-guished in a three seconds after the engine starts. If the warning light fails to extinguish orilluminates at any other time, the ve- hicle must be brought to rest in a safe location and the level of brake fluid inthe reservoir checked. If the fluid level is incorrect, fluid conforming
to DOT 3
or DOT 4 specifications should be added. If, after correcting the brake fluid level, the warning light continues to be illumi-
nated, the advice of the nearest Hyundai authorised repairer must be sought be-
fore the vehicle is driven again.The Hyundai Coupe is equipped with adiagonally split dual braking system which will ensure that in the event of one of the brake circuits becomingdefective, approximately fifty per cent of the normal braking performance will be available.

SB210S1-E BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR The front brake disc pads are fitted with an audible wear indicator whichwill cause a high pitched noise to be emitted when the remaining amount of friction lining is below the specifiedvalue. When the wear indicator is heard, the brake pads should be replaced without delay to avoid damage occur-ring to the brake discs and a severe reduction in braking efficiency. SB215A2-E FUEL GAUGE The fuel gauge indicates the quantity of fuel remaining in the fuel tank. NOTE:
o The fuel gauge is not intended to
give other than an approximate indication of the fuel level and isunsuitable for the purposes of cal- culating fuel consumption figures.
o The "
" symbol means the fuel
filler flap is placed on the left side of the vehicle. B290A02A-EAT COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The engine cool- ant is under pressure and could erupt and cause severe burns. Waituntil the engine is cool before re- moving the radiator cap.

FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequencies and do not bend to follow the earth's surface. Because of this,FM broadcasts generally begin to fade at short distances from the station. Also, FM signals are easily affected bybuildings, mountains, or other obstruc- tions. These can result in certain listen- ing conditions which might lead you tobelieve a problem exists with your ra- dio. The following conditions are normal and do not indicate radio trouble:
AM broadcasts can be received at greater distances than FM broadcasts. This is because AM radio waves aretransmitted at low frequencies. These long, low frequency radio waves can follow the curvature of the earth ratherthan travelling straight out into the at- mosphere. In addition, they curve around obstructions so that they canprovide better signal coverage.
AM and FM radio signals are broadcastfrom transmitter towers located aroundyour city. They are intercepted by the radio antenna on your car. This signal is then received by the radio and sent toyour car speakers. When a strong radio signal has reached your vehicle, the precise engineering ofyour audio system ensures the best possible quality reproduction. Howev- er, in some cases the signal coming toyour vehicle may not be strong and clear. This can be due to factors such as the distance from the radio station,closeness of other strong radio stations or the presence of buildings, bridges or other large obstructions in the area.

OPERATING THE MANUAL TRANSAXLE
C070A01GK-EAT The five speed fully synchronised transaxle is controlled by a floor mounted gearshift lever upon which theshift pattern is indicated. It is important that when changing gear, the clutch pedal is fully depressed to avoidtransaxle damage. HGK3023
Type A Type B
CAUTION:
o Do not attempt to engage reverse gear when the car is in motion.
o To avoid damaging the selector mechanism, do not use the gear shift lever as a hand rest. Release the lever immediately the shift iscompleted. o To avoid premature clutch wear,
do not use the clutch pedal as a foot rest, and do not hold the vehicle on a gradient using theclutch.
o Ensure that the engine is not over-
revved by upshifting before thetachometer needle enters the red zone.
o Do not coast with the gearshift
lever at the neutral position.
o When descending long gradi-
ents, make use of the engine brak- ing to assist the footbrake to avoid brake fade or over-heating.
o When slippery conditions are en- countered, increased cautionshould be exercised when gear changing, braking or ac-celerating. Abrupt changes in speed may cause a loss of trac- tion or control of the vehicle.
o During cold weather, shifting may be difficult until the transaxle lu-bricant has warmed up. This isnormal and not harmful to the transaxle.

connections for leakage and damage. Have a trained technician replace any damaged or leaking parts immediately. 6ZF060E1-A
o Timing belt
Inspect all parts related to the timing
belt for damage and deformation. Replace any damaged parts immedi- ately.
6ZF060G1-E
o Vapour hose and fuel filler cap
The vapour hose and fuel filler cap
should be inspected at those intervalsspecified in the maintenance sched- ule. Make sure that a new vapour hose or fuel filler cap is correctly replaced.
F060C01A-AAT
o Fuel filter
A clogged filter can limit the speed at
which the vehicle may be driven, dam- age the emission system and cause hard starting. If an excessive amountof foreign matter accumulates in the fuel tank, the filter may require re- placement more frequently. After installing a new filter, run the
engine for several minutes, and checkfor leaks at the connections. Fuel fil- ters should be installed by trained technicians.
