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.

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.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL)
This indicator light illuminates:

[When y
ou set 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, you have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.
Electronic Parking Brake
(EPB) warning light
(if equipped)
This warning light illuminates:

[When y
ou set the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button to the
ON position.
- The EPB warning light illuminates for about 3 seconds and then goes
off.

[ Whenever there is a malfunction with
the EPB.
If this occurs, you have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Information
The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB)
warning light may illuminate when
the Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
indicator light comes on to indicate that
the ESC is not working properly (This
does not indicate malfunction of the EPB).
AUTO HOLD indicator light
This indicator light illuminates:

[[Whit
e] When you activate the auto
hold system by pressing the AUTO
HOLD switch.

[ [Green] When you stop the vehicle
completely by depressing the brake
pedal with the Auto Hold system
activated.

[ [Yellow] Whenever there is a
malfunction with the Auto Hold
system.
If this occurs, you have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
For more details, refer to “Auto Hold”
section in chapter 6.

Instrument Cluster4-14
Charging system warning
light
This warning light illuminates:
When the battery is not being charged
while the engine is running. Immedia
tely
turn OFF all electrical accessories. Try
not to use electrically operated controls,
such as the power windows. Keep the
engine running.
You 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.
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.
NOTICE
If the engine is not stopped
immediately after the Engine Oil
Pressure warning light is illuminated,
severe damage could result.

WARNING
Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is toxic. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness and
death.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide which cannot be seen or smelled.
Do not inhale engine exhaust.
If at any time you smell engine exhaust inside the vehicle, open the windows
immediately. Exposure to CO can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.
Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the
oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if
you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the vehicle, the exhaust
system be checked as soon as possible by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous
practice. Run the engine only long enough to start the engine and to move the vehicle
out of the garage.
Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the vehicle.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the
vehicle, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake set at “Fresh” and fan
control set to high so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
Keep the air intakes clear.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, keep the ventilation air intakes
located in front of the windshield clear of snow, ice, leaves, or other obstructions.
If you must drive with the liftgate open:
Close all windows.
Open instrument panel air vents.
Set the air intake control at “Fresh”, the air flow control at “Floor” or “Face”, and the fan
control set to high.
