Glow indicator (Dieselengine)
The indicator light illuminates when the
ignition switch is placed at the ON posi-
tion. The engine can be started after the
preheat indicator light goes off. The illu-
minating time varies with the water tem-
perature, air temperature and batterycondition.
✽✽ NOTICE
If the engine was not started within 10
seconds after the preheating is complet-
ed, turn the ignition key once more tothe LOCK position during 10 seconds,
and then to the ON position, in order to
preheat again.
D150329AFD-EA
Fuel filter warning light (Diesel engine)
This warning light illuminates for 3 sec-
onds after the ignition switch is set to the
ON position and then it will go out. If it
lights up while the engine is running, it
indicates that water has accumulated
inside the fuel filter. If this happens,
remove the water from the fuel filter. For
more Information, refer to section 7,“Fuel filter”. D150303ANF-EA
Active geometry control
suspension (AGCS) warn-ing light (if equipped)
This light illuminates if the ignition switch
is turned to ON and goes off in approxi-
mately 3 seconds if the system is operat-
ing normally. AGCS warning light will
blink to indicate the AGCS is operating.
If the AGCS warning light remains on,
comes on while driving, or does not
come on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, this indicates
that there may be a problem with the
AGCS.
If this occurs, have your vehicle checked
by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.
CAUTION
If the preheat indicator light contin-
ues to illuminate or flash on and off after the engine has warmed up orwhile driving, check the system by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.
CAUTION
When the fuel filter warning light isilluminated, engine power (vehicle speed & idle speed) may decrease.If you keep driving with the warning light on, you can damage your vehi-
cle's engine parts and injection sys-tem of the Common Rail. If thisoccurs, have your vehicle checked by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer
as soon as possible.

If your car is equipped with an auto-
matic transaxle, don't let your car
creep forward. To avoid creeping for-
ward, keep your foot firmly on the
brake pedal when the car is stopped.
Use caution when parking on a hill. Firmly engage the parking brake and
place the gear selector lever in P (auto-
matic transaxle) or in first or reverse
gear (manual transaxle). If your car is
facing downhill, turn the front wheels
into the kerb to help keep the car from
rolling. If your car is facing uphill, turn
the front wheels away from the kerb to
help keep the car from rolling. If there
is no kerb or if it is required by other
conditions to keep the car from rolling,
block the wheels.
Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged posi-
tion. This is most likely to happen when
there is an accumulation of snow or ice
around or near the rear brakes or if the
brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the
parking brake may freeze, apply it only
temporarily while you put the gear
selector lever in P (automatic
transaxle) or in first or reverse gear
(manual transaxle) and block the rear
wheels so the car cannot roll. Then
release the parking brake. Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade
with the accelerator pedal. This can
cause the transaxle to overheat.
Always use the brake pedal or parking
brake. Active geometry control suspen-
sion(AGCS) (if equipped)
The Active geometry control suspension
(AGCS) system is designed to stabilise
the vehicle during cornering manoeuvres
by controlling the rear wheel in order to
prevent oversteer. AGCS system is anelectronic system designed to help the
driver maintain vehicle control under
adverse conditions. It is not a substitute
for safe driving practices. Factors includ-
ing speed, road conditions and driver
steering input can all affect whether
AGCS will be effective in preventing a
loss of control. It is still your responsibili-
ty to drive and corner at reasonable
speeds and to leave a sufficient margin
of safety.SUSPENSION SYSTEM

Driving your vehicle
AGCS warning light
This light illuminates if the ignition switch
is turned to ON and goes off in approxi-
mately 3 seconds if the system is operat-
ing normally. If the AGCS warning light
remains on, comes on while driving, ordoes not come on when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position, this
indicates that there may be a problem
with the AGCS. If this occurs, have your
vehicle checked by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.If the AGCS warning light illuminates
while driving, turn off the ignition switch
after stop the vehicle in the safe area.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion, and if the AGCS warning light illumi-
nates for about 3 seconds then goes off,
the system is normal.
WARNING
Never drive too fast for the road
conditions or too quickly when cor-
nering. Active geometry control
suspension (AGCS) will not prevent
accidents. Excessive speed in
turns, abrupt manoeuvres and
hydroplaning on wet surfaces canstill result in serious accidents.
Only a safe and attentive driver can
prevent accidents by avoiding
manoeuvres that cause the vehicle
to lose traction. Even with AGCS
installed, always follow all the nor-
mal precautions for driving - includ-
ing driving at safe speeds for theconditions.
