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.
In this case, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.
If the oil pressure lowers due to
insufficient engine oil, etc., the engine
oil pressure warning light turns on
and an enhanced engine protection
system that limits the engine’s power
is activated. After that, engine warning
light turns on if driving repeatedly and
continuously.
Charging System Warning
Light
When this warning light illuminates while
the engine is running, the battery is not
being charged. Immediately turn OFF
all electrical accessories. Try not to use
electrically operated controls, such as
the power windows. Keep the engine
running.
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.
If the engine oil pressure is low:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe
loca
tion and stop your vehicle.
2. Turn the engine off and check the engine oil level (For more
information, refer to "Engine Oil" 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.

7. If the oil level is below L, add enough oil to bring the level to F.
Use only the specified engine oil. (refer
to “Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities” in chapter 2).
NOTICE
To prevent damage to your engine:

[ Do not spill engine oil when adding
or changing engine oil. Use a funnel
to help prevent oil from being spilled
on engine components. Wipe off
spilled oil immediately.

[ The engine oil consumption may
increase while you break in a new
vehicle and it will be stabilized after
driving 4,000 miles.

[ The engine oil consumption can be
affected by driving habits, climate
conditions, traffic conditions,
oil quality, etc. Therefore, it is
recommended that you inspect the
engine oil level regularly and refill it
if necessary.

Checking the Brake/Clutch Fluid
Level
OCN7080006
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the side
of the reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap and
adding brake fluid, clean the area around
the reservoir cap thoroughly to prevent
brake fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
level. The level will fall with accumulated
mileage. This is a normal condition
associated with the wear of the brake
linings.
If the fluid level is excessively low, have
the system be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
Use only the specified brake/clutch fluid.
Refer to “Recommended lubricants and
capacities” in chapter 2.
Information
Before removing the brake/clutch filler
cap, read the warning on the cap.
Information
Clean the filler cap before removing. Use
only DOT4 brake/clutch fluid from a
sealed container.
WARNING
Do not let brake fluid enter into your
eyes. If brake fluid gets in your eyes,
flush your eyes with clean water for
at least 15 minutes and get immediate
medical attention.
NOTICE

[ Do not allow brake/clutch fluid to
contact the vehicle’s body paint, as it
will result in paint damage.

[ NEVER use brake fluid which has
been exposed to open air for an
extended time, as its quality cannot
be guaranteed. It should be disposed
of properly.

[ Don’t put in the wrong type of fluid.
A few drops of mineralbased oil, such
as engine oil in your brake system
can damage system parts.

[ To maintain the best braking
performance and ABS/ESC
performance, have you use genuine
brake/clutch fluid that conform to
specifications.
