Other fuels
Using fuels such as;- Silicone (Si) contained fuel,
- Ferrocene (Fe) contained fuel, and
- Other metalic additives contained fuels,
may cause vehicle and engine dam-
age or cause plugging, misfiring,
poor acceleration, engine stalling,
catalyst melting, abnormal corrosion,
life cycle reduction, etc.
Also, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) may illuminate.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Damage to the fuel system or per-
formance problem caused by the use
of these fuels may not be covered by
your New Vehicle Limited
Warrenty.
Gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains harmful man-
ganese-based fuel additives such as
MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl
Manganese Tricarbonyl).
HYUNDAI does not recommend the
use of gasoline containing MMT.
This type of fuel can reduce vehicle
performance and affect your emis-
sion control system.
The malfunction indicator lamp on
the cluster may come on.
Do not use methanol
Fuels containing methanol (wood
alcohol) should not be used in your
vehicle. This type of fuel can reduce
vehicle performance and damage
components of the fuel system,
engine control system and emission
control system.
✽ ✽NOTICE
Your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty may not cover damage to
the fuel system and any perform-
ance problems that are caused by
the use of fuels containing methanol.
Fuel Additives
HYUNDAI recommends that you use
good quality gasolines treated with
detergent additives such as TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline, which
help prevent deposit formation in the
engine. These gasolines will help the
engine run cleaner and enhance per-
formance of the Emission Control
System. For more information on
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline,
please go to the website (www.top-
tiergas.com)
For customers who do not use TOP
Tier Detergent Gasoline regularly,
and have problems starting their
vehicle or the engine does not run
smoothly, additives that you can buy
separately may be added to the
gasoline.
If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is
not available, one bottle of additive
added to the fuel tank at every
7,500mile or every engine oil change
is recommended. Additives are avail-
able from your authorized HYUNDAI
dealer along with information on how
to use them. Do not mix other addi-
tives.

Turn signal indicator
The blinking arrows on the instru-
ment panel show the direction indi-
cated by the turn signals. If the arrow
comes on but does not blink, blinks
more rapidly than normal, or does
not illuminate at all, a malfunction in
the turn signal system is indicated.
Your dealer should be consulted for
repairs.
High beam indicator
This indicator illuminates when the
headlights are on and in the high
beam position or when the turn sig-
nal lever is pulled into the Flash-to-
Pass position.
Tail light indicator
This indicator illuminates when the
tail lights are on.
Engine oil pressure
warning light
This warning light indicates the
engine oil pressure is low.
If the warning light illuminates while
driving:
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, call
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Features of your vehicle
Parking brake & brakefluid 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 mayresult. The oil pressure warninglight comes on whenever there isinsufficient oil pressure. In nor-mal operation, it should come onwhen the ignition switch is turnedon, then go out when the engineis started. If the oil pressure warn-ing light stays on while theengine is running, there is a seri-ous malfunction.
If this happens, stop the car assoon as it is safe to do so, turnoff the engine and check the oillevel. If the oil level is low, fill theengine oil to the proper leveland start the engine again. If thelight stays on with the enginerunning, turn the engine offimmediately. In any instancewhere the oil light stays onwhen the engine is running, theengine should be checked by anauthorized HYUNDAI dealerbefore 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.

WARNING- ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle,
open the windows immediately.
• Do not inhale exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death
by asphyxiation.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose.
If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the under side of the
car, have the exhaust system checked as soon as possible by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the
engine in your garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an
open area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn
into the interior.
If you must drive with the tailgate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the
windshield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

Before entering vehicle
• Be sure that all windows, outsidemirror(s), and outside lights are
clean.
Check the condition of the tires.
Check under the vehicle for any sign of leaks.
Be sure there are no obstacles behind you if you intend to back up.
Necessary inspections
Fluid levels, such as engine oil,
engine coolant, brake fluid, and
washer fluid should be checked on a
regular basis, with the exact interval
depending on the fluid. Further
details are provided in section 7,
“Maintenance”.
BEFORE DRIVING
CALIFORNIA PROPO-
SITION 65 WARNING
Engine exhaust and a wide vari-
ety of automobile components
and parts, including compo-
nents found in the interior fur-
nishings in a vehicle, contain or
emit chemicals known to the
State of California to cause can-
cer and birth defects and repro-
ductive harm. In addition, cer-
tain fluids contained in vehicles
and certain products of compo-
nent wear contain or emit chem-
icals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm.
WARNING
Driving while distracted can
result in a loss of vehicle con-
trol, that may lead to an accident,
severe personal injury, and
death. The driver’s primary

legal operation of a vehicle, and
use of any handheld devices,
other equipment, or vehicle sys-
tems which take the driver’s

cle or which are not permissible
by law should never be used
during operation of the vehicle.
