VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS
• This vehicle should not be modified. Modification of your vehicle could affect its
performance, safety or durability and may even violate governmental safety and
emissions regulations.
In addition, damage or performance problems resulting from any modification may
not be covered under warranty.
• If you use unauthorized electronic devices, it may cause the vehicle to operate
abnormally, wire damage, battery discharge and fire. For your safety, we
recommend that you do not use unauthorized electronic devices.
VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCESS
By following a few simple precautions for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) you may add to
the performance, economy and life of your vehicle.
• Do not race the engine.
• While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) between
2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
• Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow. Varying
engine speed is needed to properly break-in the engine.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies, to allow the brakes to seat properly.
• Fuel economy and engine performance may vary depending on vehicle break-in
process and be stabilized after 4,000 miles (6,000 km). New engines may consume
more oil during the vehicle break-in period.
• Do not tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles (2,000km) of operation.

To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only
lubricants of the proper quality. The correct lubricants also help promote engine
efficiency that results in improved fuel economy.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.

RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES

Recommended SAE viscosity number
CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area around any filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick before
checking or draining any lubricant. This is especially important in dusty or sandy
areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug and dipstick
areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering the engine and other mechanisms that
could be damaged.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather
operating (engine start and engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils can
provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using oils of any
viscosity other than those recommended could result in engine damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be operated
in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended oil viscosity from
the chart.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL)
This indicator light illuminates:
• When you set the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button to the
ON position.
-The malfunction indicator light
illuminates for about 3 seconds and
then goes off.
• Whenever there is a malfunction with
either the emission control system or
the engine or the vehicle powertrain.
If the MIL warning light remains
illuminated while driving, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• If the enhanced engine protection
system becomes activated due to lack
of engine oil, engine power will be
limited. If such condition continues
repeatedly, the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp will illuminate.
NOTICE
Driving with the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) on may cause damage to
the emission control system which
could affect drivability and/or fuel
economy.
NOTICE
If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) illuminates, potential catalytic
converter damage is possible which
could result in loss of engine power.
If this occurs, we recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.
NOTICE
If the oil pressure lowers due to
insufficient engine oil, etc., the engine
oil pressure warning light turns on
and an enhanced engine protection
system that limits the engine's power
is activated. After that, engine warning
light turns on if driving repeatedly and
continuously.

Electronic Parking Brake
(EPB) warning light
This warning light illuminates:
• When you set the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button to the
ON position.
-The EPB warning light illuminates
for about 3 seconds and then goes
off.
• Whenever there is a malfunction with
the EPB.
If the EPB warning light remains
illuminated while driving, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB)
warning light may illuminate when
the Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
indicator light comes on to indicate that
the ESC is not working properly (This
does not indicate malfunction of the EPB).
AUTO HOLD indicator light
This indicator light illuminates:
• [White] When you activate the auto
hold system by pressing the AUTO
HOLD switch.
• [Green] When you stop the vehicle
completely by depressing the brake
pedal with the Auto Hold system
activated.
• [Yellow] Whenever there is a
malfunction with the Auto Hold
system.
If the AUTO HOLD indicator light
remains YELLOW while driving, have
the vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
For more details, refer to “Auto Hold”
section in chapter 6.
Charging system warning
light
This warning light illuminates:
When the battery is not being charged
while the engine is running. Immediately
turn OFF all electrical accessories. Try
not to use electrically operated controls,
such as the power windows. Keep the
engine running.
We recommend that you have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
Engine oil pressure warning
light
If the oil pressure lowers due to
insufficient engine oil, etc., the engine oil
pressure warning light turns on and an
enhanced engine protection system that
limits the engine’s power is activated.
If this warning light turns on while
driving, drive carefully to the side of the
road and stop the vehicle, check the
engine oil level, and add if insufficient.
If the engine oil isn’t insufficient, or if
the warning light does not turn off even
after adding, we recommend to visit an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Driving with the warning light on may
cause engine failure.
à When oil pressure is restored to an
optimal level, the oil pressure warning
light and the protection system that
limits engine power will turn off. Even
if the oil pressure returns to normal,
check the engine once again in a safe
place.
