If the Emission Control System Mal- function Indicator Light begins toflash ON and OFF, potential catalytic converter damage is possible which could result in loss of engine power.Have the Engine Control System in- spected as soon as possible by an authorised Hyundai dealer.
B260N01MC-DAT Malfunction Indicator Light
This light illuminates when there is a malfunction of an exhaust gas relatedcomponent, and the system is not func- tioning properly so that the exha ust gas
regulation values are not satisfied. This light will also illuminate when the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position, and then it will go out in a few seconds after
the engine is started. If it illuminates
while driving, or does not illuminate whenthe ignition key is turned to the "ON"position, take your car to your nearest
authorised Hyundai dealer and have the system checked.
CAUTION:
Prolonged driving with the Emis- sion Control System Malfunction Indicator Light illuminated may cause damage to the emission con-trol systems which could effect drivability or fuel economy.!
B290A02MC-DAT Engine Coolant Tempera-
ture Warning Light
warning:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The engine coolant is under pressure and could erupt and cause severe burns. Wait untilthe engine is cool before removing the radiator cap.
!
This warning light shows the tempera- ture of the engine coolant when the ignition switch is ON. The warning light illuminates if the temperature of theengine coolant is above 123±3°C (253.4±5.4°F). If the warning light illuminates, pull overand stop as soon as possible and turn off the engine. Then open the bonnet and check the coolant level (See "If theengine overheats" on the page 3-4.) and the water pump drive belt. If you sus- pect cooling system trouble, have yourcooling system checked by a Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.

Before closing the bonnet, return the support rod to its clip to prevent it fromrattling. Lower the bonnet until it is about 30 cm (1 ft.) above the closed position and let it drop. Make sure thatit locks into place.
!
CAUTION:
Make sure that the support rod has been released prior to closing the bonnet.
!WARNING:
o Always double check to be sure that the bonnet is firmly latched before driving away. If it is not latched, the bonnet could fly open while the vehicle is being driven,causing a total loss of visibility, which might result in an acci- dent.
o The support rod must be inserted completely into the hole providedin the bonnet whenever you in-spect the engine compartment. This will prevent the bonnet from falling and possibly injuring you.
o Do not move the vehicle with the bonnet in the raised position, asvision is obstructed and the bon-net could fall or be damaged.
3 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
4IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
D030A01A-DAT If your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knock- ing, the engine is probably too hot. Ifthis happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the hand brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from under-neath the bonnet, stop the engine. Do not open the bonnet until thecoolant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant and no steam,leave the engine running and check to be sure the engine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running,turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive
belt is missing. If it is not missing,check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satisfactory, check for coolant leaking from theradiator, hoses or under the car.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables
in the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your batterybecame discharged (because the lightswere left on, etc.), have the charging system checked by your Hyundai dealer.
3. Attach the clamps of the jumper
cable in the exact order shown in theillustration. That is, first, attach one clamp of the jumper cable to the positive (+) post or cable of thedischarged battery. Then attach the other end of the same cable to the positive (+) post or cable of thebooster battery. Next, using the other cable, attach one clamp to the negative (-) post or cable of thebooster battery. Then attach the other end of that cable to a solid metal part of the engine away fromthe battery. Do not connect the cable to any moving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the booster battery and let it run for afew minutes. This will help to as- sure that the booster battery is fullycharged. During the jumping opera- tion, run the engine in this vehicle at about 2,000 rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the discharged battery using the normalstarting procedure. After the enginestarts, leave the jumper cables con- nected and let the engine run at fast idle or about 2,000 rpm for severalminutes.

SPARE TYRE
(If the air conditioning had been in use, it is normal for cold water to bedraining from it when you stop).
WARNING:
While the engine is running, keep hair, hands and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan anddrive belts to prevent injury. 6. If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the enginetemperature has returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been lost, care- fully add engine coolant to the reser-voir (page 6-7) to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. Ifoverheating happens again, call aHyundai dealer for assistance.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or coolant is leaking out, stop theengine immediately and call the near-est Hyundai dealer for assistance.
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. This may result in coolant being blown out of the open-ing and cause serious burns.
! CAUTION:
Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai dealer. D040A01A-DAT For Full Size The following instructions for the FULL SIZE spare tyre should be observed: Check inflation pressure as soon as practical after installing the spare tyre,and adjust to the specified pressure. The tyre pressure should be periodi- cally checked and maintained at thespecified pressure while the tyre is stored. Spare Tyre Pressure

WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the engine coolant is under pres-sure and may erupt through the open- ing if the cap is removed. You could be seriously burned if you do notobserve this precaution. Do not re- move the radiator cap until the radia- tor is cool to touch. NOTE: It is recommended that the engine coolant should be changed by an authorised Hyundai dealer. G050B01A-AAT Recommended Engine Coolant Use a high quality ethylene-glycol cool- ant in a 50/50 mix with water. Theengine coolant should be compatible with aluminum engine parts. Additional corrosion inhibitors or additives shouldnot be used. The cooling system must be maintained with the correct con- centration and type of engine coolantto prevent freezing and corrosion. Never allow the concentration of anti- freeze to exceed the 60% level or gobelow the 35% level, or damage to the cooling system may result. For proper concentration when adding or replac-ing the engine coolant, refer to the following table.
G050C01TG-DAT To Check the Coolant Level The coolant level can be seen on the side of the plastic coolant reservoir. The level of the coolant should bebetween the "L" and "F" lines on the reservoir when the engine is warm with it at idle. If the level is below the "L"mark, add coolant to bring it up to "F". If the level is low, inspect for coolant leaks and recheck the fluid level fre-quently. If the level drops again, visit your Hyundai dealer for inspection and diagnosis of the reason for the coolantleak.
