If the fuel filler cap requires replace
ment, use only a genuine HYUNDAI
cap or the equivalent specified for
your vehicle. An incorrect fuel filler
cap can result in a serious malfunc
tion of the fuel system or emission
control system.
NOTICE
i•When refueling, always move
the shift lever to the P (Park)
position (for automatic
transaxle) or first gear or R
(Reverse, for manual transaxle),
set the parking brake, and place
the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position. Sparks
produced by electrical compo
nents related to the engine can
ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
•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.
•Do not overfill or topoff your
vehicle tank, which can cause
gasoline spillage.
(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
department. Follow any safety
instructions they provide.
•If pressurized fuel sprays out, it
can cover your clothes or skin
and thus subject you to the risk
of fire and burns. Always
remove the fuel cap carefully
and slowly. If the cap is venting
fuel or if you hear a hissing
sound, wait until the condition
stops before completely remov
ing the cap.
•Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci
dent.

Electric power steering (EPS) (if
equipped)
The system assists you with 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.
Also, the steering effort becomes
heavier as the vehicle’s speed
increases and becomes lighter as
the vehicle’s speed decreases for
better control of the steering wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate normally,
the warning light () will illuminate
on the instrument cluster. The steer
ing wheel may become difficult to
control or operate. Take your vehicle
to an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
and have the system checked as
soon as possible.

v o i r i s l o w :
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safelocation and stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check the brake fluid level immediately
and add fluid as required (For
more details, refer to “Brake Fluid”
in chapter 7). After adding brake
fluid, check all brake components
for fluid leaks. If a brake fluid leak
is found, or if the warning light
remains on, or if the brakes do not
operate properly, do not drive the
vehicle. We recommend you to
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
D u a l d i a g o n a l b r a k i n g s y s t e m
Your vehicle is equipped with dual
diagonal braking systems. This
means you still have braking on two
wheels even if one of the dual sys
tems should fail.
With only one of the dual systems
working, more than normal pedal
travel and greater pedal pressure is
required to stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as
short a distance with only a portion
of the brake system working.
If the brakes fail while you are driv
ing, shift to a lower gear for addition
al engine braking and stop the vehi
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.

Parking Brake & Brake Fluid
Warning Light
Driving the vehicle with a warning
light ON is dangerous. If the
Parking Brake & Brake Fluid
Warning Light illuminates with the
parking brake released, it indi
cates that the brake fluid level is
low.
In this case, we recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING

Gasoline Engine
If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) illuminates, potential catalytic
converter damage is possible which
could result in loss of engine power.
In this case, we recommend that you
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.
Diesel Engine with DPF
(if equipped)
When the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) blinks, it may stop blinking after
driving the vehicle:
at more than 60km/h (37 mph), or
at more than 2nd gear with 1500 ~
2000 engine rpm for a certain time
(for about 25 minutes).
If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) continues to blink in spite of
the procedure, we recommend that
you have the DPF system checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)
(Continued)
If you continue to drive with the
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
blinking for a long time, the DPF sys
tem can be damaged and fuel con
sumption can worsen.
Diesel Engine
If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) blinks, some error related to
the injection quantity adjustment
occurs which could result in loss of
engine power, combustion noise and
poor emission.
In this case, we recommend that you
have the engine control system
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Charging System
Warning Light
T h i s w a r n i n g l i g h t i l l u m i n a t e s :
• Once you set the ignition switch orEngine Start/Stop button to the ON position.

• When there is a malfunction with either the alternator or electrical
charging system.
I f t h e r e i s a m a l f u n c t i o n w i t h e i t h e r
t h e a l t e r n a t o r o r e l e c t r i c a l c h a r g i n g
s y s t e m :
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe location and stop your vehicle.
2. Turn the engine off and check the alternator drive belt for looseness
or breakage.
If the belt is adjusted properly,
there may be a problem in the
electrical charging system.
In this case, we recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.
