This gauge indicates the current outside
air temperature by 1°F (1°C).
- Temperature range: -40°F ~ 140°F
(40°C ~ 60°C)
Note that the temperature indicated
on the LCD display may not change
as quickly as the outside temperature
(there may be a slight delay before the
temperature changes.)

Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL)
This warning light illuminates:

[When you place the ignition switch 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 this occurs, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
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.
In this case, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.
Charging System Warning
Light
When this warning light illuminates while
the engine is running, the battery is not
being charged. Immediately turn OFF
all electrical accessories. Try not to use
electrically operated controls, such as
the power windows. Keep the engine
running.
Have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.
Engine Oil Pressure Warning
Light
This warning light illuminates:
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
information, refer to "Engine Oil" in
chapter 8). If the level is low, add oil
as required.
If the warning light remains on after
adding oil or if oil is not available, have
the vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.

Oil Pressure Warning Light is
illuminated, severe damage could
occur.

[If the warning light stays on while the
engine is running, it indicates that
there may be serious engine damage
or malfunction. In this case:
1. Stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
2. Turn off the engine and check the

case, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
When the fuel tank is nearly empty. Add
fuel as soon as possible.
NOTICE
Driving with the Low Fuel Level warning
light on or with the fuel level below "E"
can cause the engine to misfire and
damage the catalytic converter.
Master Warning Light
This indicator light illuminates:
When there is a malfunction in operation
in any of the following systems:
- Exterior lamp (if equipped)
- Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)
(if equipped)
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
To identify the details of the warning,
look at the LCD display.
Low Tire Pressure Warning
Light (if equipped)
This warning light illuminates:

[When you place the ignition in the ON
position.
- It illuminates for approximately 3

If you Have a Flat Tire While
Driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:

[Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow down
while driving straight ahead. Do not
apply the brakes immediately or
attempt to pull off the road as this
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident. When the
vehicle has slowed to such a speed
that it is safe to do so, brake carefully
and pull off the road. Drive off the
road as far as possible and park on
firm, level ground. If you are on a
divided highway, do not park in the
median area between the two traffic
lanes.

[When the vehicle is stopped, press
the hazard warning flasher button,
move the shift lever into P (Park), and
apply the parking brake, and place
the ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF
position.

[Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle. Be sure they all get out on the
side of the vehicle that is away from
traffic.

[When changing a flat tire, follow the
instructions provided later in this
chapter.
IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT
START
If the Engine Doesn’t Turn Over
or Turns Over Slowly

[Be sure the shift lever is in N (Neutral)
or P (Park). The engine starts only
when the shift lever is in N (Neutral) or
P (Park).

[Check the battery connections to be
sure they are clean and tight.

[Turn on the interior light. If the light
dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the battery is drained.
Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it.
This could cause damage to your vehicle.
See instructions for “Jump Starting”
provided in this chapter.
CAUTION
Push or pull starting the vehicle may
cause the catalytic converter to
overload which can lead to damage to
the emission control system.
If the Engine Turns Over
Normally but Doesn’t Start
Check the fuel level and add fuel if
necessary.
If the engine still does not start, have
your vehicle checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

[Do not operate the engine in confined
or closed areas (such as garages) any
more than what is necessary to move
the vehicle in or out of the area.

[When the vehicle is stopped in an
open area for more than a short time
with the engine running, adjust the
ventilation system (as needed) to draw
outside air into the vehicle.

[Never sit in a parked or stopped
vehicle for any extended time with the
engine running.

[When the engine stalls or fails to
start, excessive attempts to restart
the engine may cause damage to the
emission control system.
Operating precautions for catalytic
converters (if equipped)
WARNING
The exhaust system and catalytic
converter are very hot during and
immediately after the engine has been
running. To avoid SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH:

[Do not park, idle, or drive the vehicle
over or near flammable objects, such
as grass, vegetation, paper, leaves,
etc. A hot exhaust system can ignite
flammable items under your vehicle.

[Keep away from the exhaust system
and catalytic converter or you may
get burned.
Also, Do not remove the heat sink
around the exhaust system, do not
seal the bottom of the vehicle, and
do not coat the vehicle for corrosion
control. It may present a fire risk
under certain conditions.Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter emission control device.
To prevent damage to the catalytic
converter and to your vehicle, take the
following precautions:

[Use only UNLEADED FUEL for
gasoline engines.

[Do not operate the vehicle when
there are signs of engine malfunction,
such as misfire or a noticeable loss of
performance.

[Do not misuse or abuse the engine.
Examples of misuse are coasting with
the engine off and descending steep
grades in gear with the engine off.

[Do not operate the engine at high
idle speed for extended periods (5
minutes or more).

[Do not modify or tamper with any
part of the engine or emission
control system. All inspections and
adjustments must be made by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

[Avoid driving with extremely low
fuel level. If you run out of gasoline,
it could cause the engine to misfire
and result in excessive loading of the
catalytic converter.
