Malfunction IndicatorLamp (MIL)
This warning light illuminates:
Once you turn the ignition switch or
Engine Start/Stop button to the ON
position.
- It illuminates for approximately 3 sec-onds and then goes off.
When there is a malfunction with the emission control system.
In this case, have your vehicle inspect-
ed by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
- Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
Driving with the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) on may cause damage to
the emission control systems which
could affect drivability and/or fuel
economy.
If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) illuminates, potential catalytic
converter damage is possible which
could result in loss of engine power.
In this case, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Charging System Warning Light
If this warning light comes on while the
engine is running, the battery is not being
charged. Immediately turn off all electri-
cal accessories. Try not to use electrical-
ly operated controls, such as the power
windows. Keep the engine running; stop-
ping then restarting the engine will quick-
ly discharge the battery.
If there is a malfunction with either
the alternator or electrical charging
system:
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, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Engine Oil PressureWarning Light
This warning light illuminates:
Once you turn the ignition switch or the
Engine Start/Stop button to the ON
position.
- It remains on until the engine is start-ed.
When the engine oil pressure is low.
If the engine oil pressure is low:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe location and stop your vehicle.
2. Turn the engine off and check the engine oil level (For more informa-
tion, refer to "Engine Oil" in chapter
7). If the level is low, add oil as
required.
If the warning light remains on after
adding oil and restarting the engine or
if oil is not available, turn off the
engine. There is a mechanical concern
that needs to be repaired before you
can continue driving. In this case,
have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

- Engine Oil Pressure Warning light
To prevent severe engine damage,
after the Engine Oil Pressure Warning
Light is illuminated and as soon as it
is safe to do so, turn the engine off
and check the oil level.
If the oil level is low, fill the engine oil
to the proper level and start the
engine again. If the light stays on with
the engine running, turn the engine off
immediately.
In this case, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Low Fuel LevelWarning Light
This warning light illuminates:
When the fuel tank is nearly empty. Add
fuel as soon as possible.
- Low Fuel Level
Driving with the Low Fuel Level warn-
ing light on or with the fuel level below
"E" can cause the engine to misfire
and damage the catalytic converter.
Low Tire PressureWarning Light
This warning light illuminates:
Once you turn the ignition switch or the
Engine Start/Stop button to the ON
position.
- It illuminates for approximately 3 sec-onds and then goes off.
When one or more of your tires are sig- nificantly underinflated (The location of
each underinflated tire is displayed on
the supervision cluster LCD display).
For more information, refer to "Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)"
in chapter 6.

System Maintenance
Climate control air filter
This filter is installed behind the glove
box. It filters the dust or other pollutants
that enter the vehicle through the heating
and air conditioning system.
Have the climate control air filter
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer according to the maintenance
schedule. If the car is being driven in
severe conditions such as dusty or rough
roads, more frequent air conditioner filter
inspections and changes are required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreases,
the system should be checked at an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Checking the amount of air conditioner refrigerant andcompressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning is
reduced. Overfilling also has a negative
influence on the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
It is important that the correct type
and amount of oil and refrigerant is
used. Otherwise, damage to the com-
pressor and abnormal system opera-
tion may occur. The air conditioning system should be
serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may have
little or no contact with the road surface
and actually ride on the water. The best
advice is SLOW DOWN when the road is
wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increases as
the depth of tire tread decreases, refer
to "Tire Tread" in chapter 7.
Driving in Flooded Areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no high-
er than the bottom of the wheel hub.
Drive through any water slowly. Allow
adequate stopping distance because
brake performance may be reduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them several
times while the vehicle is moving slowly.
Highway Driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation, as specified.
Under-inflation may overheat or damage
the tires.
Do not install worn-out or damaged tires,
which may reduce traction or adversely
affect vehicle handling. This could lead to
sudden tire failure that may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an accident.
Information
Never over-inflate your tires above the
maximum inflation pressure, as specified
on your tires.
Fuel, engine coolant and engineoil
Driving at higher speeds on the highway
consumes more fuel and is less efficient
than driving at a slower, more moderate
speed. Maintain a moderate speed in
order to conserve fuel when driving on
the highway.
Be sure to check both the engine coolant
level and the engine oil before driving.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may over-
heat the engine.
i
In a rollover crash, an unbelted per-
son is significantly more likely to
die than a person wearing a seat
belt. Make sure all passengers are
wearing their seat belts.

Maintenance Water washing in the engine com-partment including high pressure
water washing may cause the failure
of electrical circuits located in the
engine compartment.
Never allow water or other liquids to come in contact with electrical/elec-
tronic components inside the vehi-
cle as this may damage them.
Waxing
A good coat of wax provides a barrier
between your paint and environmental
contamination.
Keeping a good coat of wax on your vehi-
cle will help protect it.
Wax the vehicle when water will no
longer bead on the paint.
Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing. Use a good quality liquid or
paste wax, and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. Wax all metal trim to protect
it and to maintain its luster.
Removing oil, tar, and similar materials
with a spot remover will usually strip the
wax from the finish. Be sure to re-wax
these areas even if the rest of the vehicle
does not yet need waxing. Wiping dust or dirt off the body with
a dry cloth will scratch the finish.
Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or strong detergents con-
taining highly alkaline or caustic
agents on chrome-plated or
anodized aluminum parts. This may
result in damage to the protective
coating and cause discoloration or
paint deterioration.
Repairing your vehicle’s finish
Deep scratches or stone chips in the
painted surface must be repaired
promptly. Exposed metal will quickly rust
and may develop into a major repair
expense.
If your vehicle is damaged and
requires any metal repair or replace-
ment, be sure the body shop applies
anti-corrosion materials to the parts
repaired or replaced.
