*1 : Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on page 12.
*2 : Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional 
benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducingthe amount of fuel necessary 
to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in 
everyday driving, but in a year’stime, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
*3 : If the recommended engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use API 
SL/ILSAC GF-3 or ACEA A3.
*4 : Use only specified genuine Intelligent variable transmission fluid. The use of non-specified fluid (even marked as compatible with genuine) could result in shift quality deterioration and vibrations, eventually, the transmission failure.

Parking Brake & Brake Fluid 
Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
•	When you place the ignition switch to 
the ON position.
 -The parking brake light illuminates 
for about 3 seconds and will then 
turn off once the parking brake is 
released.
•	 Whenever the parking brake is 
applied.
•	 Whenever the brake fluid level in the 
reservoir is low.
 -If the warning light illuminates 
with the parking brake released, it 
indicates that the brake fluid level in 
the reservoir is low.
If the brake fluid level in the reservoir is 
low:
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 (For more 
information, refer to "Brake Fluid" in 
chapter 8). After adding brake fluid, 
check all brake components for fluid 
leaks. If a brake fluid leak is found, or 
if the warning light remains on, or if 
the brakes do not operate properly, do 
not drive the vehicle. Have the vehicle 
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer. Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with 
dualdiagonal braking systems. This 
means you still have braking on two 
wheels even if one of the dual systems 
should fail.
With only one of the dual systems 
working, more than normal pedal travel 
and greater pedal pressure is required to 
stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as short 
a distance with only a portion 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 vehicle as soon as it 
is safe to do so.
 WARNING
Parking Brake & Brake Fluid Warning 
Light
Driving the vehicle with a warning light 
ON is dangerous. If the Parking Brake & 
Brake Fluid Warning Light illuminates 
with the parking brake released, it 
indicates that the brake fluid level is 
low.
In this case, have the vehicle inspected 
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

or both ABS and Parking Brake & 
Brake Fluid Warning Lights are on, the 
speedometer, odometer, or tripmeter may 
not work. Also, the EPS Warning Light 
may illuminate and the steering effort may 
increase or decrease.
In this case, have the vehicle inspected by 
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon 
as possible.
Electric Power Steering (EPS) 
Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
•	When you place the ignition switch to 
the ON position.
 -The Electric Power Steering Warning 
light illuminates for about 3 seconds

While Driving
6-88
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 chapter 8 
for recommendations. If you aren't sure 
what weight oil you should use, consult 
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Check battery and cables
Winter puts additional burdens on the 
battery system. Visually inspect the 
battery and cables as described in 
chapter 8. The level of charge in your 
battery can be checked by an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer or a service station.
Check spark plugs and ignition 
system
Inspect your spark plugs as described in 
chapter 8 and replace them if necessary. 
Also check all ignition wiring and 
components to be sure they are not 
cracked, worn or damaged in any way.
Use approved window washer anti-
freeze in system
To keep the water in the window washer 
system from freezing, add an approved 
window washer anti-freeze solution in 
accordance with instructions on the 
container. Window washer anti-freeze is 
available from an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer and most auto parts outlets. Do 
not use engine coolant or other types 
of antifreeze as these may damage the 
paint finish.
Do not let your parking brake freeze
Under some conditions your parking 
brake can freeze in the engaged position. 
This is most likely to happen when 
there is an accumulation of snow or 
ice around or near the rear brakes or 
if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk 
the parking brake may freeze, apply 
it only temporarily while you put the 
gear selector lever in P and block the 
rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then 
release the parking brake.
Do not let ice and snow accumulate 
underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice 
can build up under the fenders and 
interfere with the steering. When driving 
in severe winter conditions where this 
may happen, you should periodically 
check underneath the car to be sure the 
movement of the front wheels and the 
steering components is not obstructed.
Don't place foreign objects 
or materials in the engine 
compartment
Placement of foreign object or materials 
which prevent cooling of the engine, in 
the engine compartment, may cause a 
failure or combustion. The manufacturer 
is not responsible for the damage caused 
by such placement.
To keep locks from freezing
To keep the locks from freezing, squirt 
an approved de-icer fluid or glycerine 
into the key opening. If a lock is covered 
with ice, squirt it with an approved de-
icing fluid to remove the ice. If the lock 
is frozen internally, you may be able to 
thaw it out by using a heated key. Handle 
the heated key with care to avoid injury.    

Emergency Situations
7-6
If your temperature gauge indicates 
overheating, you experience a loss of 
power, or hear loud pinging or knocking, 
the engine may be overheating. If this 
happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it 
is safe to do so.
2. Place the shift lever in P (Park) and 
set the parking brake. If the air 
conditioning is ON, turn it OFF.
3. If engine coolant is running out under 
the vehicle or steam is coming out 
from the hood, stop the engine. Do 
not open the hood until the coolant 
has stopped running or the steaming 
has stopped. If there is no visible 
loss of engine coolant and no steam, 
leave the engine running and check 
to be sure the engine cooling fan is 
operating. If the fan is not running, 
turn the engine off.
 WARNING
While the engine is running, keep hands, clothing and tools 
away from the moving parts 
such as the cooling fan and 
drive belt to prevent serious 
injury.
4. Check for coolant leaking from the 
radiator, hoses or under the vehicle. (If 
the air conditioning had been in use, it 
is normal for cold water to be draining 
from it when you stop.)
5. If engine coolant is leaking out, stop 
the engine immediately and call the 
nearest authorized HYUNDAI dealer 
for assistance.
 WARNING
Your vehicle is equipped with a pressurized coolant 
reserve tank. NEVER remove 
the engine coolant reservoir 
tank/radiator cap or the drain 
plug while the engine and 
radiator are HOT. Hot coolant 
and steam may blow out under 
pressure, causing serious 
injury.
Turn the engine off and wait until the 
engine cools down. Use extreme care 
when removing the engine coolant 
reservoir tank/radiator cap. Wrap 
a towel or thick rag around it, and 
turn it counterclockwise slowly to 
release some of the pressure from the 
system. Step back while the pressure is 
released.
When you are sure all the pressure has 
been released, continue turning the cap 
counterclockwise to remove it.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the 
overheating, wait until the engine 
temperature has returned to normal. 
Then, if coolant has been lost, 
carefully add coolant to the reservoir 
to bring the fluid level in the reservoir 
up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert 
for further signs of overheating. If 
overheating happens again, call 
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for 
assistance.
 CAUTION
Serious loss of coolant indicates a 
leak in the cooling system and should 
be checked as soon as possible by an 
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
