Average Fuel Economy (2)
 The average fuel economy is calculat-
ed by the total driving distance and fuel
consumption since the last average fuel
economy reset.
- Fuel economy range: 0.0 ~ 99.9L/100km or MPG
 The average fuel economy can be reset both manually and automatically.
Manual reset
To clear the average fuel economy manu-
ally, press the trip b utton (Type A : TRIP,
Type B : )
for more than 1 second
when the average fuel economy is dis-
played. Automatic reset
The average fuel economy will be
cleared to zero (---) when the vehicle
speed exceeds 1 km/h after refuellingmore than 6 litres (1.6 gallons).
✽✽
NOTICE
The average fuel economy is not dis-
played for more accurate calculation if
the vehicle does not drive more than 10
seconds or 50 meters (0.03 miles) since
the ignition switch or Engine Start/Stopbutton is turned to ON.
Instant Fuel Economy (3)
 This mode displays the instant fuel economy during the last few seconds
when the vehicle speed is more than10 km/h (6.2 MPH).
- Fuel economy range:
Type A : 0 ~ 99.9 L/100 km or MPG
Type B : 0 ~ 30 L/100 km or 0 ~ 50 MPG

Malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) (check engine light)
This indicator light is part of the Engine
Control System which monitors various
emission control system components. If
this light illuminates whilst driving, it indi-
cates that a potential problem has been
detected somewhere in the emissioncontrol system. This light will also illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, and will go out in a few seconds
after the engine is started. If it illuminates
whilst driving, or does not illuminate
when the ignition key is turned to the ON
position, we recommend that the system
be checked by an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.
Generally, your vehicle will continue to be
drivable, but we recommend that the sys-
tem be checked by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION - Diesel engine
(if equipped with DPF)
When the malfunction indicator light is blinks, it may stop blinking
after driving the vehicle at more than 60km/h (37 mph) or at morethan second gear with 1500 ~ 2000engine rpm for a certain time (for
about 25 minutes).
If the malfunction indicator lightcontinues to blink in spite of the procedure, we recommend that the
system be checked by an autho- rised HYUNDAI dealer.
If you continue to drive with themalfunction indicator light blinking
for a long time, the DPF system canbe damaged and fuel consumption can be worsen.
CAUTION
Prolonged driving with the EmissionControl System Malfunction
Indicator Light illuminated maycause damage to the emission con- trol systems which could effect dri-vability and/or fuel economy.
CAUTION - Petrol engine
If the Emission Control SystemMalfunction Indicator Light illumi-
nates, potential catalytic converter damage is possible which couldresult in loss of engine power. Werecommend that the system be
inspected by an authorisedHYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION - Diesel engine
If the Emission Control SystemMalfunction Indicator Light blinks,
some error related to the injection quantity adjustment occurs whichcould result in loss of engine power, combustion noise and poor
emission. We recommend that thesystem be inspected by an autho-rised HYUNDAI dealer.

ECONOMICAL OPERATION
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 "jack-rabbit" 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.

If the malfunction indicator light contin-
ues to blink in spite of the procedure, we
recommend that the system be checked
by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
If you continue to drive with the malfunc-
tion indicator light blinking for a long
time, the DPF system can be damaged
and fuel consumption can be worsen.
CAUTION - Diesel Fuel
(if equipped with DPF)
It is recommended to use the regu- lated automotive diesel fuel for diesel vehicle equipped with the
DPF system.
If you use diesel fuel including highsulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur) and unspecified additives, it cancause the DPF system to be dam-
aged and white smoke can be emit-ted.
