Low Oil Pressure Warning
LightCAUTION:
If the oil pressure warning light stays on
while the engine is running, serious en-
gine damage may result. The oil pres-
sure warning light comes on whenever
there is insufficient oil pressure. In nor-
mal 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
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 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 en-
gine off immediately. In any instance
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 possible. Driving your car with
a problem in either the brake electrical
system or brake hydraulic system is
dangerous, and could result in serious
injury or death.
!
Warning Light OperationThe parking brake/brake fluid level warn-
ing light should come on when the park-
ing 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 released.
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 experi-
enced, the vehicle should not be driven at
all but taken to a dealer by a professional
towing service.

Check Fuel Filler Cap Warn-
ing Light
This warning light indicates the fuel filler
cap is not tight securely.
Always make sure that the fuel filler cap
is tight.
Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-di-
agonal 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.

WARNING:
If you must re-enter the vehicle,
you should once again eliminate
potentially dangerous static elec-
tricity discharge by touching a
metal part of the vehicle, away
from the fuel filler neck, nozzle or
other gasoline source.
- When using a portable fuel con-
tainer be sure to place the con-
tainer on the ground prior to refu-
eling. Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. Once refu-
eling has begun, contact with the
vehicle should be maintained until
the filling is complete. Use only
portable fuel containers designed
to carry and store gasoline.
- Do not use cellular phones around
a gas station or while refueling any
vehicle. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellu-
lar phones can potentially ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire. If you
must use your cellular phone use
it in a place away from the gas
station.
!
WARNING:
o Gasoline vapors are dangerous.
Before refueling, always stop the
engine and never smoke or allow
sparks and open flames near the
filler area.
o Never operate your vehicle without a
filler cap properly installed, flam-
mable vapors and gasoline could
leak out in dangerous situations such
as a collision or rollover. If the filler
cap must be replaced, only use genu-
ine Hyundai replacement parts.
o After refueling, make sure the fuel
cap is installed securely to prevent
fuel spillage in the event of an acci-
dent.
o Tighten the cap until it clicks, other-
wise the "
"light will illuminate.
o If you open the fuel filler cap during
high ambient temperatures, a slight
"pressure sound" may be heard.
This is normal and not a cause for
concern. Whenever you open the fuel
filler cap, turn it slowly.
o Do not "top off" after the nozzle au-
tomatically shuts off when refueling.
o Automotive fuels are flammable/ex-
plosive materials. When refueling,
please note the following guidelines
carefully. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in severe per-
sonal injury, severe burns or death
by fire or explosion.
- Before refueling always note the
location of the Emergency Gaso-
line Shut-Off, if available, at the
gas station facility.
- Before touching the fuel nozzle or
fuel filler cap, you should eliminate
potentially dangerous static elec-
tricity discharge by touching an-
other metal part of the front of the
vehicle, a safe distance away from
the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or other
gas source.
- Do not get back into a vehicle once
you have begun refueling. Do not
touch, rub or slide against any item
or fabric (polyester, satin, nylon,
etc.) capable of producing static
electricity. Static electricity dis-
charge can ignite fuel vapors re-
sulting in explosion.
!
WARNING:
1FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI96
!
WARNING:
- When refueling always shut the
engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Always insure that
the engine is OFF before and dur-
ing refueling. Once refueling is
complete, check to make sure the
fuel filler cap and door are se-
curely closed, before starting the
engine.
- Do not light any fire around a gas
station. DO NOT use matches or a
lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or
leave a lit cigarette in your vehicle
while at a gas station especially
during refueling. Automotive fuel
is highly flammable and can, when
ignited, result in explosion by
flames.
- If a fire breaks out during refueling,
leave the vicinity of the vehicle,
and immediately contact the man-
ager of the gas station or contact
the police and local fire depart-
ment. Follow any safety instruc-
tions they provide.
!TRUNK LID/TAIL GATEB540A01MC-GAT
WARNING:
The trunk lid or the tail gate should al-
ways be kept completely closed while
the vehicle is in motion. If it is left open or
ajar, poisonous exhaust gases may en-
ter the car resulting in serious illiness or
death to the occupants. See additional
warnings concerning exhaust gases on
page 2-2.
o The trunk lid is opened by first turning
the key clockwise to release the lock,
then raising the door manually.
o To close, lower the trunk lid, then press
down on it until it locks. To be sure the
