Low engine oil (if equipped)
This warning message is displayed
when the engine oil level should be
checked.
If this warning message is displayed,
check the engine oil level as soon as
possible and add engine oil as
required.
Slowly pour the recommended oil lit-
tle by little into a funnel. (Oil refill
capacity : approximately 0.15 ~ 0.26
gal. (0.6 ~ 1.0 l)
Use only the specified engine oil.
(Refer to "Recommended lubricants
and capacities" in chapter 8.)
Do not overfill the engine oil. Make
sure the oil level is not above F (Full)
mark on the dipstick.
NOTICE
If the message is displayed contin-
uously after adding the engine oil
and travelling approximately
50~100 km after the engine warms
up, we recommend that the system
be checked by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.
Engine has overheated
(if equipped)
This warning message is displayed
when the engine coolant temperature
is above 120°C (248°F). This means
that the engine is overheated and
may be damaged.
If your vehicle is overheated, refer
to “Overheating” in chapter 7.
Check headlight (if equipped)
This warning message is displayed if
the headlamps are not operating
properly.
In addition, if a specific lamp(turn sig-
nal lamp etc.) is not operating proper-
ly, the warning message according to
a specific lamp (turn signal lamp etc.)
is displayed. A corresponding bulb
may need to be replaced.
Make sure to replace the burned out
bulb with a new one of the same watt-
age rating.
Check brake light (if equipped)
This warning message is displayed if
the stop lamps are not operating
properly. A lamp may need to be
replaced.
Make sure to replace the burned out

Whilst driving
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 tyre tread decreas-
es, refer to “Tyre replacement” in
chapter 8.
Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher 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 sev-
eral times whilst the vehicle is moving
slowly.

6. If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the engine
temperature has returned to nor-
mal. Then, if coolant has been lost,
carefully add coolant to the reser-
voir to bring the fluid level in the
reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping
alert for further signs of overheat-
ing. If overheating happens again,
we recommend that you call a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer for
assistance.
