Electric power steering (EPS) (if
equipped)
The system assists you with steering
the vehicle. If the engine is off or if
the power steering system becomes
inoperative, the vehicle may still be
steered, but it will require increased
steering effort.
Also, the steering effort becomes
heavier as the vehicle’s speed
increases and becomes lighter as
the vehicle’s speed decreases for
better control of the steering wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate normally,
the warning light () will illuminate
on the instrument cluster. The steer
ing wheel may become difficult to
control or operate. Take your vehicle
to an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
and have the system checked as
soon as possible.

Electrochromic mirror (ECM)
(if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automati
cally controls the glare from the head
lights of the car behind you in night
time or low light driving conditions.
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror. The sensor detects the light
level around the vehicle, and auto
matically adjusts to control the head
light glare from vehicles behind you.
Whenever the shift lever is placed in
R (Reverse), the mirror will automat
ically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the drivers view
behind the vehicle.
T o o p e r a t e t h e e l e c t r i c r e a r v i e w
m i r r o r :
• Press the ON/OFF button (1) to turn the automatic dimming func
tion off. The mirror indicator light
will turn off.
Press the ON/OFF button (1) to
turn the automatic dimming func
tion on. The mirror indicator light
will illuminate.
• The mirror defaults to the ON posi tion whenever the ignition switch is
turned on.
When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or similar material damp
ened with glass cleaner. Do not
spray glass cleaner directly on the
mirror as that may cause the liquid
cleaner to enter the mirror housing.

Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
This gauge shows the temperature
of the engine coolant when the igni
tion switch is in the ON position.
If the gauge pointer moves beyond
the normal range area toward the “H
or 130” position, it indicates over
heating that may damage the
engine.
Do not continue driving with an over
heated engine. If your vehicle over
heats, refer to “If the Engine
Overheats” in chapter 6.
NOTICE
Never remove the radiator cap and
reservoir cap when the engine is
hot. The engine coolant is under
pressure and could cause severe
burns. Wait until the engine is cool
before adding coolant to the reser
voir.

1. Drive carefully to the nearest safelocation 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”
in chapter 7). 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. We recommend you to
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
D u a l d i a g o n a l b r a k i n g s y s t e m
Your vehicle is equipped with dual
diagonal braking systems. This
means you still have braking on two
wheels even if one of the dual sys
tems 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 driv
ing, shift to a lower gear for addition
al engine braking and stop the vehi
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.
