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.

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.
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.
Your vehicle is equipped with a dual-
diagonal braking system. This means you
still have braking on two wheels even if
one of the brake circuits is damaged or
malfunctions. With only one of the circuits
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 one
time, otherwise 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.
- Read and follow all warnings posted
at the gas station facility.
- Before refueling, note the location
of the Emergency Gasoline 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.
