Parking brake & brake
fluid warning light
Parking brake warning
This light is illuminated when the
parking brake is applied with the igni-
tion switch in the START or ON posi-
tion. The warning light should go off
when the parking brake is released.
Low brake fluid level warning
If the warning light remains on, it may
indicate that the brake fluid level in
the reservoir is low.
If the warning light remains on:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe
location and stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check the
brake fluid level immediately and
add fluid as required. Then check all
brake components for fluid leaks.
3. Do not drive the vehicle if leaks are
found, the warning light remains on
or the brakes do not operate prop-
erly. Have the vehicle towed to any
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for a
brake system inspection and nec-
essary repairs.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 por-
tion 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.
To check bulb operation, check
whether the parking brake and brake
fluid warning light illuminates when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
CAUTION
If the oil pressure warning light
stays on while the engine is run-
ning, serious engine damage may
result. The oil pressure 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 warn-
ing light stays on while the
engine is running, there is a seri-
ous 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 engine off
immediately. In any instance
where the oil light stays on
when the engine is running, the
engine should be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer
before the car is driven again.
WARNING
Driving the vehicle with a warn-
ing light on is dangerous. If the
brake warning light remains on,
have the brakes checked and
repaired immediately by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Features of your vehicle
To flash the headlights, pull the lever
towards you. It will return to the nor-
mal (low beam) position when
released. The headlight switch does
not need to be on to use this flashing
feature.Turn signals and lane change
signals
The ignition switch must be on for the
turn signals to function. To turn on
the turn signals, move the lever up or
down (A). Green arrow indicators on
the instrument panel indicate which
turn signal is operating. They will
self-cancel after a turn is completed.
If the indicator continues to flash
after a turn, manually return the lever
to the OFF position.To signal a lane change, move the
turn signal lever slightly and hold it in
position (B). The lever will return to
the OFF position when released.
If an indicator stays on and does not
flash or if it flashes abnormally, one of
the turn signal bulbs may be burned
out and will require replacement.

One-touch triple turn signal
To activate an one-touch triple turn
signal move the turn signal lever
slightly for less than 1.8 seconds and
then release it. The lane change sig-
nals will blink 3 times.
You can activate or deactivate this
feature. Refer to “User Settings” in
this section.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
If an indicator flash is abnormally
quick or slow, a bulb may be burned
out or have a poor electrical connec-
tion in the circuit.Front fog light (if equipped)
Fog lights are used to provide
improved visibility when visibility is
poor due to fog, rain or snow etc. The
fog lights will turn on when fog light
switch (1) is turned to ON after the
headlights are turned on.
To turn off the fog lights, turn the
switch to OFF.
CAUTION
When in operation, the fog
lights consume large amounts
of vehicle electrical power. Only
use the fog lights when visibility
is poor or unnecessary battery
and generator drain could
occur.

Maintenance
60 7
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the
fuses are OK, check the fuse panel
in the engine compartment. If a fuse
is open, it must be replaced.
If the headlights, fog lights, turn sig-
nal lights, position lights or interior
lights do not work and there is noth-
ing wrong with the bulbs, consult with
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Fuse switch
Always put the transportation fuse
switch at the ON position.
If you move the switch to the OFF
position, some items such as the
audio and digital clock must be reset
and the transmitter (or smart key)
may not work properly.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
If you need to park your vehicle for
prolonged periods more than 1
month, move the transportation fuse
switch to the OFF position to pre-
vent the battery being discharged.
CAUTION
Always place the transporta-
tion fuse switch in the ON posi-
tion while driving the vehicle.
Do not move the transportation
fuse switch repeatedly. The
fuse switch may be worn out.

LIGHT BULBS
Use only the bulbs of the specified
wattage.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
After heavy, driving rain or wash-
ing, headlight and taillight lenses
could appear frosty. This condition
is caused by the temperature differ-
ence between the lamp inside and
outside. This is similar to the con-
densation on your windows inside
your vehicle during the rain and
doesn’t indicate a problem with
your vehicle. If the water leaks into
the lamp bulb circuitry, we recom-
mend that the vehicle be checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.WARNING - Working on
the lights
Prior to working on the light,
firmly apply the parking brake,
ensure that the ignition switch
is turned to the LOCK position
and turn off the lights to avoid
sudden movement of the vehi-
cle and burning your fingers or
receiving an electric shock.
CAUTION
Be sure to replace the burned-
out bulb with one of the same
wattage rating. Otherwise, it
may cause damage to the fuse
or electric wiring system.
CAUTION
The headlight aiming adjust-
ment may be necessary after
the headlight assembly is rein-
stalled. If you are unsure how to
replace or aim the headlight, we
recommend that you consult
with an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
CAUTION
If you don’t have necessary
tools, the correct bulbs and the
expertise, we recommend that
you consult with an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. In many cases,
it is difficult to replace vehicle
light bulbs because other parts
of the vehicle must be removed
before you can get to the bulb.
This is especially true if you
have to remove the headlight
assembly to get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installing the head-
light assembly can result in
damage to the vehicle.

(Continued)
If a bulb becomes damaged or
cracked, replace it immediate-
ly and carefully dispose of it.
Wear eye protection when
changing a bulb. Allow the
bulb to cool down before han-
dling it.
WARNING - Halogen
bulbs
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surized gas that will produce
flying pieces of glass if broken.
Always handle them carefully,
and avoid scratches and abra-
sions. If the bulbs are lit, avoid
contact with liquids. Never
touch the glass with bare
hands. Residual oil may cause
the bulb to overheat and burst
when lit. A bulb should be
operated only when installed
in a headlight.
