This warning light indicates the fuel
tank is nearly 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 may damage the catalyt-
ic converter.
Malfunction indicator
light (MIL)
(check engine light)
This indicator light is part of the
Engine Control System which moni-
tors various emission control system
components. If this light illuminates
while driving, it indicates that a
potential malfunction has been
detected somewhere in the emission
control system.
This light will also illuminate when
the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position, and will go out in a few
seconds after the engine is started. If
it illuminates while driving, or does
not illuminate when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position,
take your vehicle to your nearest
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the system checked.
Generally, your vehicle will continue
to be drivable, but have the system
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer promptly.

Also, the EPB malfunction indicator

tor comes on to indicate that the
ESC is not working properly, but if
this occurs, it does not indicate the

Control)
The ESC indicator will illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned

on, it monitors the driving conditions.
Under normal driving conditions, the
ESC light will remain off. When a slip-
pery or low traction condition is
encountered, the ESC will operate,
and the ESC indicator will blink to
indicate the ESC is operating.
The ESC indicator stays on when the
ESC may have a malfunction. Take
your car to an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer and have the system
checked.

Prolonged driving with the
Malfunction Indicator Light
illuminated may cause damage
to the emission control sys-
tems which could effect dri-
vability and/or fuel economy.
If the Malfunction Indicator
Light illuminates or blinks,
potential catalytic converter
damage is possible. This
could result in loss of engine
power. Have the Engine
