NOTICE
It is forbidden to alter the odometer of
all vehicles with the intent to change the
mileage registered on the odometer. The
alteration may void your warranty cov-
erage.
Tripmeter/Trip computer (if equipped)
The trip computer is a microcomputer-
controlled driver information system that
displays information related to driving,
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position. All stored driving information
(except odometer) resets if the battery isdisconnected. Press the TRIP button for less than 1
second to select any mode as follows:

Distance to empty (if equipped)
(km or mi.) This mode indicates the estimated dis- tance to empty based on the current fuelin the fuel tank and the amount of fuel
delivered to the engine. When the
remaining distance is below 50 km (30
miles), “---” will be displayed.
The meter’s working range is from 50 to 999 km (30 to 999 miles). 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 RESET button for more
than 1 second, when the average fuel
consumption is being displayed, clears
the average fuel consumption to zero (--.-). Instant fuel consumption (if equipped)(
l/100 km or MPG)
This mode calculates the instant fuel
consumption of the last few seconds.

✽✽NOTICE
 If the vehicle is not on level ground or the battery power has been interrupt-
ed, the “Distance to empty” function
may not operate correctly.
The trip computer may not register
additional fuel if less than 6 litres (1.6
gallons) of fuel are added to the vehi-
cle.
 The fuel consumption and distance to
empty may vary significantly based
on driving conditions, driving habits,
and condition of the vehicle.
 The distance to empty value is an esti-
mate of the available driving distance.
This may differ from the actual driv-
ing distance available.
Average speed (km/h or MPH)
This mode calculates the average speed
of the vehicle since the last averagespeed reset.
Even if the vehicle is not in motion, the
average speed keeps going whilst the
engine is running.
Pressing the RESET button for more
than 1 second, when the average speed
is being displayed, clears the average
speed to zero (---). Elapsed time (if equipped)
This mode indicates the total time trav-
eled since the last driving time reset.
Even if the vehicle is not in motion, the
driving time keeps going whilst the
engine is running.
The meter’s working range is from 00:00~99:59.
Pressing the RESET button for more
than 1 second, when the driving time is
being displayed, clears the driving time to
zero (00:00).

Welcome Light (if equipped)
On - The Welcome Light function will be
activated.
Off - The Welcome Light function will be inactivated.
AVG fuel economy
Auto Reset - The average fuel economy will reset automatically
when you drive after refu-elling.
Manual Reset - The average fuel econo- my will not reset auto-
matically when you driveafter refuelling. 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 thatneeds attention.
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 displayed,
you can turn the ECO ON mode to OFF
mode by pressing the RESET buttonmore than 1 second in the ECO ON
mode of the trip computer.
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.

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
kilometers (miles) you can get from a
litre (gallon) of fuel. To operate your vehi-
cle as economically as possible, use the
following driving suggestions to help
save money in both fuel and repairs:
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moder-
ate rate. Don't make "kangaroo" starts or full-throttle shifts and maintain a
steady cruising speed. Don't race
between stoplights. Try to adjust your
speed to the traffic so you don't have to
change speeds unnecessarily. Avoid
heavy traffic whenever possible.
Always maintain a safe distance from
other vehicles so you can avoid unnec-
essary braking. This also reduces
brake wear.
Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your vehicle
uses. Driving at a moderate speed,
especially on the highway, is one of the
most effective ways to reduce fuel con-sumption. Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal.
This can increase fuel consumption
and also increase wear on these com-
ponents. In addition, driving with your
foot resting 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. Check the tyre pressures at leastonce 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 as
greater fuel consumption. Keep your vehicle in good condition.
For better fuel economy and reduced
maintenance costs, maintain your vehi-cle in accordance with the mainte-
nance schedule in section 7. If you
drive your vehicle in severe conditions,more frequent maintenance is required
(see section 7 for details).
Keep your vehicle 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 vehicle. This
extra weight can result in increased
fuel consumption and also contributeto corrosion.
Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight in your vehicle. 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.

RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES
* 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.
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.
