VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS
• This vehicle should not be modified. Modification of your vehicle could affect its performance, safety or durability and may even violate governmental safety and
emissions regulations.
In addition, damage or performance problems resulting from any modification may
not be covered under warranty.
• If you use unauthorized electronic devices, it may cause the vehicle to operate abnormally, wire damage, battery discharge and fire. For your safety, do not use
unauthorized electronic devices.
NOTICE
Some warning sounds (including welcome/good-bye sound, etc.) are generated
from the interior speakers or amplifiers. If necessary, purchase HYUNDAI Part to
replace an interior speaker or amplifier. Any unauthorized product may cause a
malfunction of the interior speakers or amplifiers.
VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCESS
By following a few simple precautions for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) you may add to
the performance, economy and life of your vehicle.
• Do not race the engine.
• While driving, avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow. Varying engine speed is needed to properly break-in the engine.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies, to allow the brakes to seat properly.
• Fuel economy and engine performance may vary depending on vehicle break-in process and be stabilized after 4,000 miles (6,000 km). New engines may consume
more oil during the vehicle break-in period.
• Do not tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles (2,000km) of operation.

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.

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.

Information - Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
system warning light
When the ABS warning light is on or both
ABS and Parking Brake 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 ignition switch or
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 EPS.
If the EPS warning light remains
illuminated while driving, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL)
This indicator light illuminates:

[When y
ou 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 the MIL warning light remains
illuminated while driving, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

[ 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

[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.
