This gauge indicates the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.
Information
• The fuel tank capacity is given in
chapter 2.
• The fuel gauge is supplemented by
a low fuel warning light, which will
illuminate when the fuel tank is nearly
empty.
• On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge
pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel
warning light may come on earlier than
usual due to the movement of fuel in
the tank.
WARNING
Running out of fuel can expose vehicle
occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain additional
fuel as soon as possible after the
warning light comes on or when the
gauge indicator comes close to the “0
or E(Empty)” level.
NOTICE
Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire damaging
the catalytic converter.

Warning and Indicator Lights
Information
Make sure that all warning lights are OFF
after starting the engine. If any light is still
ON, this indicates a situation that needs
attention.
Air Bag Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
• When you set the Engine Start/Stop butt
on to the ON position.
- The air bag warning light illuminates for about 6 seconds and then turns
off when all checks have been
performed
• The air bag warning light will remain illuminated if there is a malfunction
with the Safety Restraint System (SRS)
air bag operation.
In this case, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Seat Belt Warning Light
This warning light informs the driver that
the seat belt is not fastened.
For more information, refer to “Seat
Belts” in chapter 3.
Parking Brake & Brake Fluid
Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
• When you set the Engine Start/Stop butt
on 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 loca
tion 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 9). 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.

Instrument Cluster4-12
Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with
dualdiagonal br
aking 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 are 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.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
warning light
This warning light illuminates:
• When you set the Engine Start/Stop butt
on to the ON position.
- It illuminates for approximately 3 seconds and then goes off.
• When there is a malfunction with the ABS (The normal braking system
will still be operational without the
assistance of the anti-lock brake
system).
In this case, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Electronic Brake Force
Distribution System Warning
Light
These two warning lights illuminate at the
same time while driving:
• When the ABS and regular brake s
ystem may not work normally.
In this case, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

In this case, avoid high speed driving
and abrupt braking.
Have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.

increase or decrease.
In this case, have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.

(MIL)
This warning light illuminates:
• When you set the Engine Start/Stop butt
on 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

Light
This warning light illuminates:
• When there is a malfunction with either the alt
ernator or electrical
charging system
If there is a malfunction with either the
alternator
or electrical charging system:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe loca
tion 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.

approximately 0.6 ~ 1.0 ℓ)
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer
to “Recommended lubricants and
capacities” in chapter 2.)
Do not overfill the engine oil. Make sure
the oil level is not above F (Full) mark on
the dipstick.
Information
• If you travel approximately 30 ~ 60
miles (50 km ~100 km) after the engine
warms up, after adding the engine oil,
the warning light will go off.
• Cycle the ignition from OFF to ON 3
times within 10 seconds, the warning
light will go off immediately. However,
when you turn off the warning light
without adding the engine oil, the light
will come on again after traveling
approximately 30 ~ 60 miles (50 ~ 100
km) after the engine warms up.
NOTICE
If the light comes on continuously after
adding the engine oil and travelling
approximately 30 ~ 60 miles (50~100
km) after the engine warms up, have
the system checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Even if this light doesn’t come on after
the engine has started, the engine oil
level should be periodically checked
and topped up if required.
