Air bag warning light
This warning light will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds each time you
turn the ignition switch to the ON posi-tion. This light also comes on when the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is
not working properly. If the AIR BAG
warning light does not come on, or con-
tinuously remains on after operating for
about 6 seconds when you turned the
ignition switch to the ON position or start-
ed the engine, or if it comes on while
driving, we recommend that the system

ger, the seat belt warning light will illumi-
nate for approximately 6 seconds each
time you turn the ignition switch ON
regardless of belt fastening.
For details, refer to the “Seat belt” in sec- tion 3.
Engine oil pressure warning
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.
CAUTION
If the engine is not stopped imme- diately after the engine oil pressurewarning light is illuminated, severe

Engine oil level warning
light
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. Make sure
the oil level is not above F (Full) mark on
the dipstick.
✽✽ NOTICE
 If you travel approximately 50 km ~100 km after the engine warms up,
after adding the engine oil, the warn-
ing light will go off.
 Cycle the ignition from OFF to ON 3 times within 10 seconds, the warning
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.
Turn signal indicator
The blinking green arrows on the instru-
ment panel show the direction indicated
by the turn signals. If the arrow comes on
but does not blink, blinks more rapidly
than normal, or does not illuminate at all,
it indicates a malfunction in the turn sig-
nal system. You should consult your deal-
er for repairs.
This indicator also blinks when the haz-
ard warning switch is turned on.
CAUTION
If the oil pressure warning light
stays on while the engine is run-ning, serious engine damage may
result. The oil pressure warninglight 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 warning
light 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. Ifthe 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 the
engine off immediately. In anyinstance where the oil light stays on
when the engine is running, we rec-ommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAIdealer.
CAUTION
If the light comes on continuously
after adding the engine oil and trav-elling approximately 50 ~ 100 km
after the engine warms up, we rec- ommend that the system bechecked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Even if this light doesn't come onafter the engine has started, theengine oil should be checked and supplied periodically.

: Check the engine oil level and leak every 500 km (350
miles) or before starting a long trip.
* 2
: This maintenance schedule depends on fuel quality. It is
applicable only when using a qualified fuel <"EN590 or
equivalent">. If the diesel fuel specifications don't meet the

ENGINE OIL
Checking the engine oil level (Gasoline engine)
1. Be sure the vehicle is on level ground.
2. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.
3. Turn the engine off and wait for a few minutes (about 5 minutes) for the oil to
return to the oil pan.
4. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and reinsert it fully. 5. Pull the dipstick out again and check
the level. The level should be between
F (Full) and L (Low).
If it is near or at L (Low), add enough oil
to bring the level to F (Full).Do not over-
fill.
Use a funnel to help prevent oil from being spilled on engine components.
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer
to “Recommended lubricants and capac-
ities” in section 8.)
WARNING - Radiator hose
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking or
adding the engine oil as it may be
hot enough to burn you.CAUTION
Do not overfill the engine oil. It may damage the engine.

Changing the engine oil and filter
We recommend that the engine oil and
filter be replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.The high-pressure cooling system has a
reservoir filled with year-round antifreeze
coolant. The reservoir is filled at the fac-
tory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at thebeginning of the winter season, and
before traveling to a colder climate.
Checking the coolant level
WARNING
Used engine oil may cause skin irri- tation or cancer if left in contact
with the skin for prolonged periods
of time. Used engine oil contains
chemicals that have caused cancer
in laboratory animals. Always pro-
tect your skin by washing your
hands thoroughly with soap and
warm water as soon as possibleafter handling used oil.
ENGINE COOLANT
WARNING
Removing radiatorcap
Never attempt to remove the radi- ator cap while the engine is oper-
ating or hot. Doing so might leadto cooling system and engine
damage and could result in seri-
ous personal injury from escap-ing hot coolant or steam.
Turn the engine off and wait until it cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the radiator cap.
Wrap a thick towel around it, and
turn it counterclockwise slowly to
the first stop. Step back while the
pressure is released from the
cooling system. When you aresure all the pressure has been
released, press down on the cap,
using a thick towel, and continue
turning counterclockwise to
remove it.
(Continued)
CAUTION
When the engine overheats fromlow engine coolant, suddenlyadding engine coolant may cause
cracks in the engine. To prevent damage, add engine coolant
slowly in small quantities.
Do not drive with no engine coolant. It may cause water pump
failure and engine seizure, etc.

WARNING - Brake/clutch fluid
When changing and adding
brake/clutch fluid, handle it careful-
ly. Do not let it come in contact with
your eyes. If brake/clutch fluid
come in contact with your eyes,
immediately flush them with a large
quantity of fresh tap water. Have
your eyes examined by a doctor as
soon as possible.
CAUTION
Do not allow brake/clutch fluid to contact the vehicle's body paint, aspaint damage will result.
Brake/clutch fluid, which has beenexposed to open air for an extended time should never be used as itsquality cannot be guaranteed. It
should be properly disposed. Don'tput in the wrong kind of fluid. A few
drops of mineral-based oil, such asengine oil, in your brake/clutch sys-
tem can damage brake/clutch sys-tem parts.
