Trip computer
The trip computer is a microcomputer-
controlled driver information system that
displays information related to driving on
the display when the ignition switch is in
the ON position. All stored driving infor-
mation (except odometer) is reset if the
battery is disconnected.
WARNING - Fuel gauge
Running out of fuel can expose
vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain addition-
al fuel as soon as possible after thewarning light comes on or when the
gauge indicator comes close to the
E level.
CAUTION
Avoid driving with a extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel couldcause the engine to misfire, damag-
ing the catalytic converter.ORBI041035 TRIP A

Average fuel consumption (if equipped) ( l/100 km or MPG)
This mode calculates the average fuelconsumption from the total fuel used and
the distance since the last average con-
sumption reset. The total fuel used is cal-culated from the fuel consumption input.
For an accurate calculation, drive morethan 50 m (0.03 miles).
Pressing the TRIP button for more than 1
second, when the average fuel consump-
tion is being displayed, clears the average
fuel consumption to zero (--.-).
If the vehicle speed exceeds 1 km/h after refueled more than 6 l, the average fuel
consumption will be cleared to zero (--.-). Instant fuel consumption (
l/100 km or MPG)
This mode calculates the instant fuel
consumption every 2 seconds from the
driving distance and quantity of fuelinjection. Average speed (km/h or MPH)
This mode calculates the average speed
of the vehicle since the last averagespeed reset.
Should the vehicle be stationary with the
engine running, the average speed cal-
culation will continue. (i.e. stopped at traf-fic lights)
Pressing the TRIP button for more than 1
second, when the average speed is
being displayed, clears the average
speed to zero (---).

Warnings and indicators
All warning lights are checked by turning
the ignition switch ON (do not start the
engine). Any light that does not illuminate
should be checked by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
After starting the engine, check to make
sure that all warning lights are off. If anyare still on, this indicates a situation that
needs attention. When releasing the
parking brake, the brake system warning
light should go off. The fuel warning light
will stay on if the fuel level is low.ECO indicator (if equipped)
The ECO indicator is a system that
informs you to drive economically.
It is displayed if you drive fuel efficiently
to help you improve fuel efficiency.
The ECO indicator (green) will turn on when you are driving fuel efficiently in
the ECO ON mode.
If you don't want the indicator dis-
played, you can turn the ECO ON
mode to OFF mode by pressing the
TRIP button.
As per ECO ON/OFF Mode operation,
refer to the previous page.
The fuel-efficiency can be changed by the driver's driving habit and road con-dition.
It doesn't work at the condition which doesn't meet economical driving such
as P (Park), N (Neutral), R (Reverse)
or sports mode.
Whilst the instant fuel consumption mode is displayed on the LCD screen,
the ECO indicator turns off.
WARNING
Don't keep watching the indicator
whilst driving. It will distract youwhilst driving and cause an acci-
dent that results in severe personal
injury.ECO

CAUTION - Diesel engine
(if equipped with DPF)
Should the malfunction indicator light blink, it may be possible to
extinguish the malfunction indica-tor light by SAFELY driving thevehicle at speeds above 60km/h (37 mph) and in a gear higher than sec-
ond, with engine speeds between1500 ~ 2000 engine RPM for approx-imately 25 minutes.
Should the malfunction indicatorlight continue to blink in spite of theabove procedure, please visit anauthorised HYUNDAI dealer to havethe DPF system inspected.
If you continue to drive with themalfunction indicator light blinkingfor a long time, the DPF system canbe damaged and fuel consumption can deteriorate.
CAUTION
Prolonged driving with theEmission Control System
Malfunction Indicator Light illumi-nated may cause damage to theemission control systems which could effect drivability and/or fuel
economy.
CAUTION - Petrol engine
If the Emission Control SystemMalfunction Indicator Light illumi-
nates, potential catalytic converterdamage is possible which couldresult in loss of engine power. Havethe Engine Control System inspect-
ed as soon as possible by an autho-rised HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION - Diesel engine
If the Emission Control System Malfunction Indicator Light blinks,
some error related to the injection quantity adjustment occurs whichcould result in loss of enginepower, combustion noise and poor
emission. Have the Engine ControlSystem inspected as soon as pos- sible by an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.

Driving your vehicle
Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where you
drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how many
kilometres (miles) you can get from a litre
(gallon) of fuel. To operate your vehicle
as economically as possible, use the fol-
lowing driving suggestions to help save
money in both fuel and repairs:
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moder-ate rate. Don't take off abruptly or
make full-throttle shifts and maintain a
steady cruising speed. Don't race
between stoplights. Try to adjust your
speed to that of the other traffic so you
don't have to change speeds unneces-
sarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever
possible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you can
avoid unnecessary braking. This also
reduces brake wear.
Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your car uses.
Driving at a moderate speed, especial-
ly on the highway, is one of the most
effective ways to reduce fuel consump-tion. Don't "ride" the brake pedal. This can
increase fuel consumption and also
increase wear on these components.
In addition, driving with your foot rest-
ing on the brake pedal may cause the
brakes to overheat, which reduces
their effectiveness and may lead to
more serious consequences.
Take care of your tyres. Keep them inflated to the recommended pressure.
Incorrect inflation, either too much or
too little, results in unnecessary tyre
wear as well as increased fuel con-
sumption. Check the tyre pressures atleast once a month.
Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper alignment can
result from hitting kerbs or driving too
fast over irregular surfaces. Poor align-
ment causes faster tyre wear and may
also result in other problems as well asincreased fuel consumption. Keep your car in good condition. For
better fuel economy and reduced
maintenance costs, maintain your carin accordance with the maintenance
schedule in section 7. If you drive your
car in severe conditions, more frequentmaintenance is required (see section 7
for details).
Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your vehicle should be kept
clean and free of corrosive materials. It
is especially important that mud, dirt,
ice, etc. not be allowed to accumulate
on the underside of the car. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel con-
sumption and also contribute to corro-sion.
Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel
economy.
Don't let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting (and not
in traffic), turn off your engine and
restart only when you're ready to go.

Maintenance
Diesel Particulate Filter (if equipped)
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) sys-
tem removes the soot emitted from the
exhaust gases.
Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF
system automatically burns (oxidizes)
and removes the accumulated soot
according to the driving condition. In
other words, the active burning by engine
control system and high exhaust gas
temperature caused by normal/high driv-
ing condition burns and removes the
accumulated soot.
However, if the vehicle continues to be
driven at low speed for long time, the
accumulated soot may not be automati-
cally removed because of low exhaust
gas temperature. In this particular case,the amount of soot is out of detection
limit, the soot oxidation process by
engine control system may not happen
and the malfunction indicator light may
blink. When the malfunction indicator light
blinks, it may stop blinking by driving the
vehicle at more than 60km/h (37 mph) orat more than second gear with 1500 ~
2000 engine rpm for a certain time (for
about 25 minutes).If the malfunction indicator light contin-
ues to blink in spite of this procedure,
please visit an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.
If you continue to drive with the malfunc-
tion indicator light blinking for a long time,the DPF system can be damaged and
fuel consumption can worsen.
CAUTION -
Diesel Fuel
(if equipped with DPF)
It is recommended to use the regu- lated automotive diesel fuel fordiesel vehicle equipped with the
DPF system.
If you use diesel fuel including highsulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur)and unspecified additives, it cancause the DPF system to be dam-
aged and white smoke can be emit-ted.

To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only lubricants of the proper quality. The correct
lubricants also help promote engine efficiency that results in improved fuel economy.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle. *1
: Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
* 2
: Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel econ -
omy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure
in everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
