RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES
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.

*1 : Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
*2 : For the best performance of braking and ABS/ESC functions, you should use genuine
brake fluid that conform to standards. (Standards: SAE J1704 DOT-4 LV, ISO4925 CLASS-6
and FMVSS116 DOT-4)
*3 : An engine oil displaying this American Petroleum Institute(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.
*4 : Requires < API SN PLUS (or above) Full synthetic> 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 severe maintenance condition.

Seats & Safety System3-20
WARNING
Riding in an improper position
adversely affects the front passenger’s
seat belt warning system. It is important
for the driver to instruct the passenger
to properly be seated as instructed in
this manual.
Information
[ You can find the front passenger’s seat
belt warning light on the center fascia
panel.
[ Although the front passenger seat is not
occupied, the seat belt warning light
will blink or illuminate for 6 seconds.
[ The front passenger’s seat belt warning
may operate when luggage is placed on
the front passenger seat.
Seat Belt Restraint System
WARNING
OHI038182L
Improperly positioned seat belts may
increase the risk of serious injury
in an accident. Take the following
precautions when adjusting the seat
belt:
[ Position the lap portion of the seat
belt as low as possible across your
hips, not on your waist, so that it
fits snugly. This allows your strong
pelvic bones to absorb the force of
the crash, reducing the chance of
internal injuries.
[ Position one arm under the shoulder
belt and the other over the belt, as
shown in the illustration.
[ Always position the shoulder belt
anchor into the locked position at the
appropriate height.
[ Never position the shoulder belt
across your neck or face.

Seats & Safety System3-54
Do not install a Child Restraint
System on the Front Passenger’s
Seat
OHI039193N
Even though your vehicle is equipped
with the OCS, never install a child
restraint in the front passenger’s seat.
An inflating air bag can forcefully strike a
child or child restraint resulting in serious
or fatal injury.
WARNING
[ NEVER use a rearward facing Child
Restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH
or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can
occur.
[ An inflating frontal air bag could
forcefully strike a child resulting in
serious injury or death.
[ Always properly restrain children in
an appropriate child restraint in the
rear seat of the vehicle.
Why Didn’t My Air Bag Go Off in
a Collision?
There are certain types of accidents in
which the air bag would not be expected
to provide additional protection. These
include rear impacts, second or third
collisions in multiple impact accidents,
as well as low speed impacts. Damage to
the vehicle indicates a collision energy
absorption, and is not an indicator of
whether or not an air bag should have
inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
WARNING
To reduce the risk of an air bag
deploying unexpectedly and causing
serious injury or death:
[ Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where air bags
or sensors are installed.
[ Do not perform maintenance on or
around the air bag sensors. If the
location or angle of the sensors is
altered, the air bags may deploy
when they should not or may not
deploy when they should.
[ Installing bumper guards with non-
genuine Hyundai or non-equivalent
parts may adversely affect the
collision and airbag deployment
performance.
[ Press the Engine Start/Stop button to
the OFF or ACC position and wait for
3 minutes when the vehicle is being
towed to prevent inadvertent air bag
deployment.
[ Have all air bag repairs conducted by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Seats & Safety System3-58
OOSN031055L
Just before impact, drivers often brake
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the
front portion of the vehicle causing it
to “ride” under a vehicle with a higher
ground clearance. Air bags may not
inflate in this “underride” situation
because deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “underride” collisions.
OTL035068
Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because front air bag
deployment would not provide additional
occupant protection.
However, the side and curtain air bags
and front center air bag may inflate in a
rollover situation, when it is detected by
the rollover sensor.
OOSN031054N
Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility poles
or trees, where the point of impact is
concentrated and the collision energy is
absorbed by the vehicle structure.

Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal br
aking system. 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.
If this occurs, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
warning light
This warning light illuminates:
[ When y
ou set the Engine Start/Stop
button to the ON position.
- The ABS warning light illuminates for about 3 seconds and then goes
off.
[ Whenever there is a malfunction with
the ABS.
Note that the hydraulic braking
system will still be operational even if
there is a malfunction with the ABS.
If this occurs, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Electronic Brake Force
Distribution (EBD) system
warning light
When the ABS warning and
Parking Brake warning lights are on
simultaneously, it may indicate a
problem with the Electronic Brake Force
Distribution system.
If this occurs, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Instrument Cluster4-14
WARNING
Electronic Brake Force Distribution
(EBD) system warning light
When both ABS and Parking Brake &
Brake Fluid warning lights are on, the
brake system will not work normally
and you may experience an unexpected
and dangerous situation during sudden
braking.
If this occurs, avoid high speed driving
and abrupt braking.
Have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.
NOTICE
Electronic Brake Force Distribution
(EBD) system warning light
When the ABS warning light is on
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.
If this occurs, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.
Electric Power Steering (EPS)
warning light
This warning light illuminates:
[ When y
ou set the Engine Start/Stop
button to the ON position.
- The electric power steering warning light illuminates for about 3 seconds
and then goes off.
[ Whenever there is a malfunction with
the electric power steering.
If this occurs, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Charging system warning
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.
If this occurs, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.
