Vehicle Information, Consumer Information and Reporting Safety Defects2-12
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.

bRefer to “Fuel requirements” in
chapter 1.
*1 : Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
*2 : Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional
benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary
to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in
everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
*3 : 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 conditions.
*4 : To maintain the best braking performance and ABS/ESC performance, we recommend
that you use genuine brake fluid that conform to specifications.
*5 : If the rear differential is submerged, have you visit an authorized retailer of HYUNDAI
genuine products to replace the differential oil.

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.
Seat belt warning light
This warning light informs the driver that
the seat belt is not fastened.
For more details, refer to “Seat Belts”
section in chapter 3.
Air bag warning light
This warning light illuminates:

[When y
ou set the ignition switch 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.
If this occurs, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Parking brake & Brake fluid
warning light
This warning light illuminates:

[When y
ou set the ignition switch to
the ON position.
- The parking brake & brake fluid warning 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 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 details,
refer to “Brake Fluid” section 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 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.
In this case, 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 ignition switch 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 the ABS warning light remains
illuminated while driving, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Electronic Brake Force
Distribution (EBD) System
Warning Light
These two warning lights illuminate at the
same time while driving:
When the ABS and regular brake system
ma

y not work normally.
In this case, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

04
4-13
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.
In this case, avoid high speed driving
and abrupt braking.
Have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.
Information - 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.
In this case, have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.
Motor Sriven Power Steering
(MDPS) warning light
This warning light illuminates:

[ When y
ou set the ignition switch to
the ON position.
- The electric powering 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.

Driving Your Vehicle6-76
Maintenance When Towing a
Trailer
Your vehicle will need service more
often when you regularly pull a trailer.
Important items to pay particular
attention to include engine oil,
transmission fluid, axle lubricant and
cooling system fluid. Brake condition
is another important item to frequently
check. If you’re trailering, it’s a good
idea to review these items before
you start your trip. Don’t forget to
also maintain your trailer and hitch.
Follow the maintenance schedule that
accompanied your trailer and check it
periodically. Preferably, conduct the
check at the start of each day’s driving.
Most importantly, all hitch nuts and bolts
should be tight.
NOTICE
To prevent vehicle damage:

[ Due to higher load during trailer
usage, overheating might occur on
hot days or during uphill driving.
If the coolant gauge indicates
over-heating, switch off the air
conditioner and stop the vehicle in a
safe area to cool down the engine.

[ Do not switch off the engine while
the coolant gauge indicates over-
heating.
(Keep the engine idle to cool down
the engine)

[ When towing check transmission
fluid more frequently.
