When the door is open, or if the
engine is not started within 1 minute,
the tachometer pointer may move
slightly with the ignition in the ON
position with the engine OFF. This
movement is normal and will not
affect the accuracy of the tachometer
once the engine is running.
Engine temperature gauge
This gauge indicates the tempera-
ture of the engine coolant when the
ignition switch is ON.
Do not continue driving with an over-
heated engine. If your vehicle over-
heats, refer to “If the engine over-
heats” in section 6.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. The
engine coolant is under pres-
sure and could cause severe
burns. Wait until the engine is
cool before adding coolant to
the reservoir.
CAUTION
If the gauge moves beyond the
normal range area toward the “H”
position, it indicates overheating
that may damage the engine.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine with-
in the tachometer's RED ZONE.
This may cause severe engine
damage.OMD040048

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.

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.

✽ ✽
NOTICE
If there is heavy accumulation of
snow or ice on the windshield,
defrost the windshield for about 10
minutes, or until the snow and/or ice
is removed before using the wind-
shield wipers to ensure proper oper-
ation.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• When you operate the wipers, if
your vehicle has a problem in any
part of the wiper operation sys-
tem, the wiper may operate in the
LO mode regardless of the wiper
switch position. In this case, have
your vehicle checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.
• When the ignition key is removed,
the wiper blade sometimes may
move slightly for reducing the
deterioration of the windshield
wipers.
Windshield washers
In the OFF position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer
fluid on the windshield and to run the
wipers 1-3 cycles.
Use this function when the wind-
shield is dirty.
The spray and wiper operation will
continue until you release the lever.
If the washer does not work, check
the washer fluid level. If the fluid level
is not sufficient, you will need to add
appropriate non-abrasive windshield
washer fluid to the washer reservoir.The reservoir filler neck is located in
the front of the engine compartment
on the passenger side.
OAM049102N
CAUTION
To prevent possible damage to
the washer pump, do not oper-
ate the washer when the fluid
reservoir is empty.
WARNING
Do not use the washer in freez-
ing temperatures without first
warming the windshield with
the defrosters; the washer solu-
tion could freeze on the wind-
shield and obscure your vision.

Auto defogging system
(if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the probabil-
ity of fogging up the inside of the
windshield by automatically sensing
the moisture of inside the windshield.
The auto defogging system operates
when the heater or air conditioning is
on.This indicator illuminates
when the auto defogging
system senses the mois-
ture of inside the wind-
shield and operates.
If more moisture is in the vehicle, the
automated steps operate as follows:
If auto defogging does not defog the
window at step 1, outside air posi-
tion, step 2, blowing air toward the
windshield occurs.
Step 1 : Outside air position
Step 2 : Blowing air toward the wind-
shield
Step 3 : Increasing air flow toward
the windshield
Step 4 : Operating the air condition-
ing
Step 5 : Maximizing the air condi-
tioningThe auto defogging system is auto-
matically activated when the condi-
tions are met. However, if you would
like to cancel the auto defogging sys-
tem, press the front defroster button
4 times within 2 seconds while press-
ing the AUTO button. The indicator of
the front defroster button will blink 3
times to notify you that the system is
cancelled. To use the auto defogging
system again, follow the procedures
mentioned above.
If the battery has been disconnected
or discharged, it resets to the auto
defogging status.
