Urea system warninglamp
When the vehicle has critical prob- lems such as incorrect urea replen-
ishment, urea consumption devia-
tion, urea dosing interruption or
EGR(exhaust gas recirculation) sys-tem malfunction, the urea system
warning lamp will start blink with lim-
ited engine torque or vehicle speed.
Engine oil level warn-ing light (if equipped)
The engine oil level warning light illu-
minates when the engine oil level
should be checked.
If the warning light comes on, check
the engine oil level as soon as possi-
ble and add engine oil as required.
Slowly pour the recommended oil lit-
tle by little into a funnel. Use only the specified engine oil.
(Refer to "Recommended lubricantsand capacities" in section 8.)
Do not overfill the engine oil to
ensure the oil level is not above F
mark on the dipstick. Information
If you travel approximately 50~100 km after the engine warms up, after
adding the engine oil, the warning
light will go off.
Cycle the ignition from OFF to ON 3 times within 10 seconds, the warn-
ing light will go off immediately.
However, when you turn off the
warning light without adding the
engine oil, the light will come on
again after traveling approximately
50~100 km after the engine warms
up.
If the light comes on continuously
after adding the engine oil and
traveling approximately 50~100
km after the engine warms up, werecommend that the system be
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Even if this light doesn't come on
after the engine has started, the
engine oil should be checked and
supplied periodically.

Power brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted
brakes that adjust automatically
through normal usage.
In the event that the power-assisted
brakes lose power because of astalled engine or some other reason,
you can still stop your vehicle by
applying greater force to the brake
pedal than you normally would. The
stopping distance, however, will be
longer.
When the engine is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially
depleted each time the brake pedal
is applied. Do not pump the brake
pedal when the power assist has
been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when
necessary to maintain steering con-
trol on slippery surfaces.

Brakes
Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal.This will create abnormal high
brake temperatures, exces-sive brake lining and pad
wear, and increased stoppingdistances.
When descending a long or
steep hill, shift to a lower gear
and avoid continuous applica-
tion of the brakes. Continuousbrake application will cause
the brakes to overheat and
could result in a temporary
loss of braking performance.
Wet brakes may impair the
vehicle’s ability to safely slow
down; the vehicle may alsopull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Applying
the brakes lightly will indicate
whether they have been
affected in this way.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)Always test your brakes in this fashion after driving
through deep water. To dry the
brakes, apply them lightly
while maintaining a safe for-
ward speed until brake per-
formance returns to normal.
Always, confirm the position of the brake and accelerator
pedal before driving. If you
don't check the position of theaccelerator and brake pedal
before driving, you maydepress the accelerator
instead of the brake pedal. It
may cause a serious accident.

Check the brake warning light by
turning the ignition switch ON (do not
start the engine). This light will be
illuminated when the parking brake is
applied with the ignition switch in the
START or ON position.
Before driving, be sure the parking
brake is fully released and the brake
warning light is off.
If the brake warning light remains on
after the parking brake is released
while engine is running, there may
be a malfunction in the brake sys-
tem. Immediate attention is neces-
sary.If at all possible, cease driving the
vehicle immediately. If that is not pos-
sible, use extreme caution while
operating the vehicle and only con-
tinue to drive the vehicle until you
can reach a safe location or repair
shop.
If you drive while parking brake is
applied, the parking brake warning
light comes on and warning buzzer
sounds simultaneously.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
WP-009
ABS (or VDC) will not prevent
accidents due to improper or
dangerous driving maneuvers.
Even though vehicle control is
improved during emergency
braking, always maintain a safe
distance between you and
objects ahead. Vehicle speeds
should always be reduced dur-
ing extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for vehicle
equipped with an anti-lock brak-
ing system (Electronic Stability
Program System) may be longer
than for those without it in the
following road conditions. During these conditions the
vehicle should be driven atreduced speeds:

Driving your vehicle
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) (if equipped)
The Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
system helps to stabilize the vehicle
during cornering maneuvers.
VDC checks where you are steering
and where the vehicle is actually
going. VDC applies braking pressure
to any one of the vehicle’s brakes
and intervenes in the engine man-
agement system to assist the driver
with keeping the vehicle on the
intended path. It is not a substitute
for safe driving practices. Always
adjust your speed and driving to the
road conditions.
VDC operation
VDC ON condition
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the VDC and the VDC OFF
indicator lights illuminate for approxi-
mately three seconds and goes off,
then the VDC is turned on.
OEU044196Never drive too fast for the road
conditions or too quickly when
cornering. The VDC system will
not prevent accidents.
Excessive speed in turns, abrupt
maneuvers, and hydroplaningon wet surfaces can result in
severe accidents.
WARNING
5-26
Driving your vehicle
Press the VDC OFF button for more
than 3 seconds. VDC OFF indicatorlight and message illuminates and
VDC OFF warning chime will sound.
At this state, the engine control func-
tion and brake control function does
not operate. In other words, the vehi-cle stability control function does not
operate any more.
If the ignition switch is placed to the
LOCK/OFF position when VDC is off,
VDC remains off. Upon restarting the
engine, the VDC will automatically
turn on again.Indicator lights
When the ignition switch is pressed
to the ON position, the VDC indicator
light illuminates, then goes off if the
VDC system is operating normally.
The VDC indicator light blinks when-
ever the VDC is operating.
If VDC indicator light stays on, your
vehicle may have a malfunction with
the VDC system. When this warning
light illuminates we recommend that
the vehicle be checked by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.The VDC OFF indicator light comes
on when the VDC is turned off with
the button.
Driving with varying tire or wheel
sizes may cause the VDC system
to malfunction. When replacing
tires, make sure they are the same
size as your original tires for this
vehicle.
