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.

*1 : Requires grade engine oil. If a lower grade
engine oil (mineral oil including Semi-synthetic) is used, then the engine oil and engine
oil filter must be replaced as indicated for severe maintenance condition.
An engine oil displaying this API Certification Mark conforms to
the international Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee
(ILSAC). It is recommended to only use engine oils that uphold
this API Certification Mark.

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 details,
refer to “Engine Oil” section in
chapter 9). 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.
Continued driving with the warning
light on may cause engine failure.
Information
When engine oil pressure decreases due to
insufficient engine oil, etc., the Engine Oil
Pressure warning light will illuminate. In
addition, the enhanced engine protection
system which limits engine power will
be activated. If the engine oil pressure is
restored, the Engine Oil Pressure warning
light and the enhanced engine protection
system will turn off. However, for gasoline
2.5 turbo engine, when the engine oil
pressure is restored, the warning light and
the enhanced engine protection system will
turn off after the engine is restarted.
NOTICE

[If the engine is not stopped
immediately after the Engine Oil
Pressure warning light is illuminated,
severe damage could result.

[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
oil level. If the oil level is low, fill
the engine oil to the proper level.
3. Start the engine again. If the
warning light stays on after the
engine is started, turn the engine
off immediately. If this occurs,
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
or 0” can cause the engine to misfire
and damage the catalytic converter.

Instrument cluster
4-14
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 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.

[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
If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) illuminates, potential catalytic
converter damage is possible which
could result in loss of engine power.
If this occurs, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.
Exhaust system (GPF)
warning light (for gasoline
engine, if equipped)

[This warning light illuminates, when
accumulated soot reaches a certain
amount.

[When this warning light illuminates, it
may turn off after driving the vehicle
at more than 50 mph (80km/h) for
about 30 minutes (above 3rd gear
with 1500 ~ 4000 engine rpm).
If this warning light blinks in spite
of the procedure (at this time LCD
warning message will be displayed),
have the GPF system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
If you continue to drive with the GPF
warning light blinking for a long time,
the GPF system can be damaged and
fuel consumption can worsen.
