Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check the fol-
lowing:
 All filler caps in engine compartment must be correctly installed.
 Gloves, rags or any other com- bustible material must be removed
from the engine compartment.
2. Return the support rod to its clip to prevent it from rattling.
3. Lower the hood until it is about 30 cm (1 ft.) above the closed position and let
it drop. Make sure that it locks into
place.
WARNING - Hood
 Before closing the hood, ensure that all obstructions are removed
from the hood opening. Closingthe hood with an obstruction
present in the hood opening may
result in property damage or
severe personal injury.
 Do not leave gloves, rags or any other combustible material in the
engine compartment. Doing so
may cause a heat-induced fire.WARNING
 Always double check to be sure that the hood is firmly latched
before driving away. If it is not
latched, the hood could fly open
while the vehicle is being driven,
causing a total loss of visibility,
which might result in an accident.
 The support rod must be inserted completely into the hole whenev-
er you inspect the engine com-
partment. This will prevent the
hood from falling and possibly
injuring you.
 Do not move the vehicle with the hood raised. The view will be
blocked and the hood could fall
or be damaged.

(Continued)Use only portable plastic fuel
containers designed to carry and
store gasoline.
 Do not use cellular phones while refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cel-
lular phones can potentially
ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
 When refueling, always shut the engine off. Sparks produced byelectrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling is
complete, check to make sure thefiller cap and filler door are
securely closed, before starting
the engine.
 DO NOT use matches or a lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or leave a lit
cigarette in your vehicle while at
a gas station especially during
refueling. Automotive fuel is
highly flammable and can, when
ignited, result in fire.
(Continued)(Continued)
 If a fire breaks out during refuel-ing, leave the vicinity of the vehi-
cle, and immediately contact the
manager of the gas station and
then contact the local fire depart-
ment. Follow any safety instruc-
tions they provide.CAUTION
 Make sure to refuel your vehicle
according to the "Fuel require-
ments" suggested in section 1.
 If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, we recommend thatyou use parts for replacement
from an authorized HYUNDAIdealer. An incorrect fuel filler cap can result in a serious malfunc-tion of the fuel system or emis-
sion control system.
 Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Any typeof fuel spilled on painted surfaces
may damage the paint.
 After refueling, make sure the fuel cap is installed securely to pre-vent fuel spillage in the event ofan accident.

Electric power steering (if equipped)
Power steering uses the motor to assist
you in steering the vehicle. If the engine
is off or if the power steering system
becomes inoperative, the vehicle may
still be steered, but it will require
increased steering effort.
The motor driven power steering is con-
trolled by the power steering control unit
which senses the steering wheel torque
and vehicle speed to command the
motor.
The steering wheel becomes heavier as
the vehicle’s speed increases and
becomes lighter as the vehicle’s speed
decreases for better control of the steer-ing wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steering during normal
vehicle operation, we recommend that
the system be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.✽✽

Engine oil pressure warn-ing
This warning light indicates the engine oil
pressure is low.
If the warning light illuminates while driv- ing:
1. Drive safely to the side of the road and stop.
2. With the engine off, check the engine oil level. If the level is low, add oil as required.
If the warning light remains on after
adding oil or if oil is not available, we rec-
ommend that you call an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Engine oil level warning light (if equipped)
The engine oil level warning light illumi-
nates when the engine oil level should be
checked.
If the warning light comes on, check the
engine oil level as soon as possible andadd engine oil as required.
Slowly pour the recommended oil little by
little into a funnel. (Oil refill capacity :
approximately 0.6 ~ 1.0 l)
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer
to "Recommended lubricants and capac-ities" in section 8.)
Do not overfill the engine oil to ensure
the oil level is not above F mark on the
dipstick.
CAUTION
If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is run-
ning, serious engine damage mayresult. The oil pressure warning light comes on whenever there isinsufficient oil pressure. In normal
operation, it should come on whenthe ignition switch is turned on, then go out when the engine is
started. If the oil pressure warninglight stays on while the engine is running, there is a serious malfunc-tion.
If this happens, stop the car assoon 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 theengine again. If the light stays on with the engine running, turn theengine off immediately. In any
instance where the oil light stays onwhen the engine is running, we rec-ommend that the system be checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
