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.

transaxle into the park position. Ve-
hicles not fully engaged in park with the
parking brake set are at risk for moving
inadvertently and injuring yourself or

the foot brake and pull the praking brake
lever slightly. Secondly, depress the re-
lease button and lower the parking brake
lever while holding the button.

priate low gear on manual transaxle ve-
hicles or in the P (Park) position on auto-
matic transaxle vehicles.

hand while the disc is being pulled into
the unit by the self loading mechanism.Keep Your Discs Clean
B850A02F-AATProper HandlingHandle 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

tape, paper, or gummed labels on the
disc. Do not write on the disc.Damaged DiscDo not attempt to play damaged, warped
or cracked discs. These could severely
damage the playback mechanism.Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface of

clean soft cloth in a solution of mild neu-
tral detergent to wipe it clean.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI2
!
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.
