2009 Hyundai Getz check oil

1- 38 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
The brake warning light indicates that the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder is low and hydraulic brake fluidconforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 speci- fications should be added. After add- ing fluid, if no other trouble is found, thecar should be carefully driven to a Hyundai dealer for inspection. If fur- ther trouble is experienced, the vehicleshould not be driven at all but taken to a dealer by a professional towing ser- vice or some other safe method. YourHyundai is equipped with dual-diago- nal braking systems. This means you still have braking on two wheels even ifone of the dual systems should fail. With only one of the dual systems working, more than normal pedal traveland greater pedal pressure are re- quired to stop the car. Also, the car will not stop in as short a distance with onlya portion of the brake system working. If the brakes fail while you are driving, shift to a lower gear for additionalengine braking and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so.

Hand Brake/Brake Fluid Level Warning Light
Warning Light Operation The hand brake/brake fluid level warn- ing light should come on when the hand brake is applied and the ignitionswitch is turned to "ON" or "START". After the engine is started, the light should go out when the hand brake isreleased. If the hand brake is not ap- plied, 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 thevehicle and bring it to a complete stop in a safe location off the roadway. WARNING:
If you suspect brake trouble, haveyour brakes checked by a Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. Drivingyour car with a problem in either the brake electrical system or brake hydraulic system is dangerous, andcould result in serious injury or death.
B260G01A-DAT
Oil Pressure Warning Light CAUTION:
The oil pressure warning light comes on whenever there is insuf- ficient oil pressure. In normal op-eration, it should come on when the ignition switch is turned on, then go out when the engine isstarted. 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 theengine and check the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill engine oil to the proper level and start the engineagain. If the light stays on with the engine running, turn the engine off immediately. In any instance wherethe oil light stays on when the engine is running, the engine should be checked by a Hyundai dealer beforethe car is driven again.

WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine 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 colourless, odourless 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 underside of the car, have the exhaust system checked as soon as possible. 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 tail gate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary be sureto:
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, keep the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

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 to80°C. If you heat the immobilizer key over 80°C to open a frozen lock, it may cause damage to the tran-sponder in its head.
C160F01A-AAT Check Spark Plugs and Ignition System Inspect your spark plugs as described in Section 6 and replace them if neces- sary. Also check all ignition wiring and components to be sure they are notcracked, worn or damaged in any way.
C160E01A-AAT Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if Necessary In some climates it is recommended that a lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be used during cold weather. SeeSection 9 for recommendations. If you aren't sure what weight oil you should use, consult your Hyundai dealer.
C160C01A-AAT
Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol Coolant Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It is the only type ofcoolant that should be used because it helps prevent corrosion in the cooling system, lubricates the water pump andprevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish your coolant in accor- dance with the maintenance schedulein Section 5. Before winter, have your coolant tested to assure that its freez- ing point is sufficient for the tempera-tures anticipated during the winter. C160D01A-DAT Check Battery and Cables Winter puts additional burdens on the battery and charging system. Visually inspect the battery and cables as de-scribed in Section 6. The level of charge in your battery can be checked by your Hyundai dealer or a service station.

C160K01A-DAT Carry Emergency Equipment Depending on the severity of the weather where you drive your car, youshould carry appropriate emergency equipment. Some of the items you may want to carry include tyre chains,tow straps or chains, flashlight, emer- gency flares, sand, a shovel, jumper cables, a window scraper, gloves,ground cloth, overalls, a blanket, etc.
C160J01A-AAT Don't Let Ice and Snow Accumu- late Underneath Under some conditions, snow and ice can build up under the fenders and interfere with the steering. When driv-ing in severe winter conditions where this may happen, you should periodi- cally check underneath the car to besure the movement of the front wheels and the steering components are not obstructed.
C170A01A-DAT HIGH SPEED MOTORING Pre-Trip Inspections
1. Tyres: Adjust the tyre inflation pressures to specification. Low tyre inflation pres-sures will result in overheating and possible failure of the tyres. Avoid using worn or damaged tyres whichmay result in reduced traction or tyre failure. NOTE: Never exceed the maximum tyre inflation pressure shown on the tyres.
2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil: High speed travel consumes 1.5 times more fuel than urban motoring. Do notforget to check both engine coolant and engine oil.
3. Drive belt: A loose or damaged drive belt may result in overheating of the engine.
C160H01A-DAT Use Approved Anti-Freeze in WindowWasher System To keep the water in the window washer system from freezing, add an approved anti-freeze solution in accordance withinstructions on the container. Window washer anti-freeze is available from Hyundai dealers and most auto partsoutlets. Do not use engine coolant or other types of anti-freeze as these may damage the paint finish.
C160I01L-DAT Don't Let Your Hand Brake Freeze Under some conditions your hand brake can freeze in the engaged posi-tion. This is most likely to happen when there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or if thebrakes are wet. If there is a risk the hand brake may freeze, apply it only temporarily while you put the gearselector lever in "P" and block the rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then release the hand brake.
