Charging System Warning
Light
The charging system warning light should
come on when the ignition is turned on,
then go out when the engine is running.
If the light stays on while the engine is
running, there is a malfunction in the
electrical charging system. If the light
comes on while you are driving, have the
system checked by your Hyundai dealer
as soon as possble.
B260M01A-AAT
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
The low fuel level warning light comes on
when the fuel tank is approaching empty.
When it comes on, you should add fuel as
soon as possible. Driving with the fuel
level warning light on or with the fuel level
below "E" can cause the engine to misfire
and damage the catalytic converter.
B260L02HP-GAT
Door Ajar Warning Light
and Chime
The door ajar warning light warns you
that a door is not completely closed and
the chime warns you that the key is in the
ignition switch.NOTE :The warning chime only sounds when-
ever the key is in the ignition switch and
the driver's side front door is open simul-
taneously. The chime sounds until the
key is removed from the ignition switch
or the driver's side front door is closed.
B260K02A-AAT
Trunk Lid/Tail Gate
Open Warning Light
This light remains on unless the trunk lid/
tail gate is completely closed and latched.B260O01MC-AAT
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.

CAUTION:
o Only use the power outlet when the
engine is running. Unplug the plug
from the power outlet when the en-
gine is off if the key will be left in the
"ACC" or "ON" (not recommended)
positions, to prevent discharging the
battery. Using when the engine stops
or leaving the electric appliance
plugged in for many hours may cause
the battery to discharge.
o Do not use the power outlet to con-
nect electric accessories or equip-
ment other than those designed to
operate on 12 volts.
o Some electronic devices can cause
electronic interference when plugged
into the power outlet. These devices
may cause excessive audio noise
and malfunctions in other electronic
systems or devices used in your
vehicle.

34WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATSD030A02A-AATIf your temperature gauge indicates over-
heating, you experience a loss of power,
or hear loud pinging or knocking, the
engine is probably too hot. If this hap-
pens, 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 parking brake. If
the air conditioner is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car
or steam is coming out from under-
neath the hood, stop the engine. Do
not open the hood until the coolant
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 the radiator, hoses
or under the car. (If the air conditioner
had been in use, it is normal for cold
water to be draining from it when you
stop). 3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable
in the exact location shown on the
previous page. First, attach one clamp
of the jumper cable to the positive (+)
post or cable of the discharged battery.
Then attach the other end of the same
cable to the positive (+) post or cable
of the booster battery. Next, using the
other cable, attach one clamp to the
negative (-) post or cable of the booster
battery. Then attach the other end of
that cable to a solid metal part of the
engine away from the 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 a few
minutes. This will help to assure that
the booster battery is fully charged.
During the jumping operation, run the
engine in this vehicle at about 2000
rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the
discharged battery using the normal
starting procedure. After the engine
starts, leave the jumper cables con-
nected and let the engine run at fast
idle or about 2000 rpm for several
minutes.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in
the reverse order of attachment.If you do not know why your battery be-
came discharged (because the lights were
left on, etc.), have the charging system
checked by your Hyundai dealer.

G220A01A-AAT
G220B01A-AATChecking Engine Cooling FanThe engine cooling fan should come on
automatically if the engine coolant tem-
perature is high.WARNING:
The radiator fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may some-
times operate even when the engine is
not running. Use extreme caution when
working near the blades of the cooling
fan, so that you are not injured by a
rotating fan blade. As the coolant tem-
perature decreases the fan will auto-
matically shut off. This is a normal con-
dition.G220C01A-AATChecking Condenser Cooling FanThe condenser cooling fan should come
on automatically whenever the air condi-
tioner is in operation.CHECKING ELECTRIC
COOLING FANS
!
Wear eye protection when
charging or working near a
battery.
Always provide ventilation
when working in an enclosed
space.
An inappropriately disposed
battery can be harmful to the
environment and human
health. Dispose the battery
according to your local law(s)
or regulation.
o When lifting a plastic-cased battery,
excessive pressure on the case may
cause battery acid to leak, resulting
in personal injury. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on oppo-
site corners.
o Never attempt to charge the battery
when the battery cables are con-
nected.
o The electrical ignition system works
with high voltage.
Never touch these components with
the engine running or the ignition
switched on.
WARNING:
Always read the following in-
structions carefully when han-
dling a battery.
Keep lighted cigarettes and
all other flames or sparks
away from the battery.
Hydrogen, which is a highly
combustible gas, is always
present in battery cells and
may explode if ignited.
Keep batteries out of the reach
of children because batteries
contain highly corrosive SUL-
FURIC ACID. Do not allow bat-
tery acid to contact your skin,
eyes, clothing or paint finish.
If any electrolyte gets into
your eyes, flush your eyes
with clean water for at least
15 minutes and get immedi-
ate medical attention. If pos-
sible, continue to apply water
with a sponge or cloth until
medical attention is received.
If electrolyte gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the con-
tacted area.
If you feel a pain or a burning
sensation, get medical atten-
tion immediately.
