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.

Air Conditioning refrigerant label (if equipped)
The actual Air Conditioning refrigerant
label in the vehicle may differ from the
illustration. Each symbols and specification on air
conditioning refrigerant label means as
below :
1. Classification of refrigerant
2. Amount of refrigerant
3. Classification of Compressor lubricant You can find out which air conditioning
refrigerant is applied to your vehicle onthe label located inside of the hood.
Refer to chapter 8 for the location of the
air conditioning refrigerant label.
Checking the amount of air con-
ditioner refrigerant and compres-sor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning is
reduced. Overfilling also has a negativeinfluence on the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, we recommend that the system be
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
✽✽ NOTICE
It is important that the correct type and
amount of oil and refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, damage to the compressor
and abnormal system operation may
occur.
WARNING
Improper service may cause seri-
ous injury to the person performing
the service. For more detailed infor-
mation, we recommend that you
contact an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
WARNING - Vehicles
equipped with R-134a

is at very high pressure,the air conditioning sys-
tem should only be
serviced by trained and
certified technicians. It is importantthat the correct type and amount of
oil and refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, it may cause damage to
the vehicle and personal injury.
WARNING - Vehicles
equipped with R-1234yf
Because the refrigerant
is mildly inflammable at
very high pressure, theair conditioning systemshould only be serviced
by trained and certified
technicians. It is impor-tant that the correcttype and amount of oil

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 win-
dows immediately.
• Do not inhale exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxia- tion.
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 underneath side of the car, we recom-
mend that the system be checked 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 vehicle out.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the vehicle, be sure to do so only in an open a rea
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 windshie ld are
kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

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 sec-
tion 7, “Maintenance”.
Before starting
Close and lock all doors.

Use high quality ethylene glycol coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high quality
ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling
system. It is the only type of coolant that
should be used because it helps prevent
corrosion in the cooling system, lubri-
cates the water pump and prevents
freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish
your coolant in accordance with themaintenance schedule in section 7.
Before winter, have your coolant tested toassure that its freezing point is sufficient
for the temperatures anticipated during
the winter.
Check battery and cables
Winter puts additional burdens on the
battery system. Visually inspect the bat-
tery and cables as described in section
7. We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.Change to "winter weight" oil if
necessary In some climates it is recommended that
a lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be
used during cold weather. See section 8
for recommendations. If you aren't sure
what weight oil you should use, we rec-
ommend that you consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Check spark plugs and ignition system
Inspect your spark plugs as described in
section 7 and replace them if necessary.
Also check all ignition wiring and compo-
nents to be sure they are not cracked,
worn or damaged in any way.
WARNING
- Tire chains
The use of chains may adversely affect vehicle handling.
Do not exceed 30 km/h (20 mph) or the chain manufacturer’s rec-
ommended speed limit, whichev-
er is lower.
Drive carefully and avoid bumps, holes, sharp turns, and other
road hazards, which may cause
the vehicle to bounce.
Avoid sharp turns or locked- wheel braking.
CAUTION
Chains that are the wrong size or
improperly installed can damageyour vehicle's brake lines, sus-pension, body and wheels.
Stop driving and retighten the chains any time you hear themhitting the vehicle.
