malfunction of an exhaust gas related
component and the system is not func-
tioning properly. This light will also illumi-
nate when the ignition key is turned to the
"ON" position, and will go out in a few

Prolonged driving with the Emission
Control System Malfunction Indicator
Light illuminated may cause damage to
the emission control systems which
could effect drivability or fuel economy.
If the Emission Control System Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light begins to flash ON
and OFF, potential catalytic converter
damage is possible which could result in
loss of engine power. Have the Engine

Engine Coolant Temperature
Warning Light
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. The engine coolant is un-
der pressure and could erupt and cause
severe burns. Wait until the engine is
cool before removing the radiator cap.
!
This warning light shows the temperature
of the engine coolant when the ignition
switch is ON. The warning light illumi-
nates if the temperature of the engine
coolant is above 253.4±5.4°F (123±3°C).
If the warning light illuminates, pull over
and stop as soon as possible and turn off
the engine. Then open the hood and
check the coolant level (See "If the en-
gine overheats" on the page 3-4.) and the
water pump drive belt. If you suspect
cooling system trouble, have your cool-
ing system checked by a Hyundai dealer
as soon as possible.NOTE:If the engine coolant temperature warn-
ing light illuminates, it indicates over-
heating that may damage the engine.

WARNING:
o Always double check to be sure that
the hood is firmly latched before driv-
ing away. If it is not latched, the hood
could fly open while the vehicle is
being driven, causing a total loss of
visibility, which might result in an
accident.
o The support rod must be inserted
completely into the hole provided in
the hood whenever you inspect the
engine compartment. This will pre-
vent the hood from falling and possi-
bly injuring you.
o Do not move the vehicle with the
hood in the raised position, as vision
is obstructed and the hood could fall
or be damaged.

OMC025017The fuel-filler lid must be opened from
inside the vehicle by pulling up on the
fuel-filler lid opener located on the front
floor area on the left side of the car.NOTE:If the fuel-filler lid will not open because
ice has formed around it, tap lightly or
push on the lid to break the ice and
release the lid. Do not pry on the lid. If
necessary, spray around the lid with an
approved de-icer fluid (do not use radia-
tor anti-freeze) or move the vehicle to a
warm place and allow the ice to melt.REMOTE FUEL-FILLER LID

34WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATSD030A02A-AATIf your temperature gauge indicates over-
heating, you experience a loss of power,
or hear loud pinging or knocking, the
engine is probably too hot. If this hap-
pens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic), or neutral (manual
transaxle) and set the parking brake. If
the air conditioner is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car
or steam is coming out from the hood,
stop the engine. Do not open the hood
until the coolant has stopped running
or the steaming has stopped. If there is
no visible loss of coolant and no steam,
leave the engine running and check to
be sure the engine cooling fan is op-
erating. If the fan is not running, turn
the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive
belt is missing. If it is not missing,
check to see that it is tight. If the drive
belt seems to be satisfactory, check for
coolant leaking from the radiator, hoses
or under the car. (If the air conditioner
had been in use, it is normal for cold
water to be draining from it when you
stop). 3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable
in the exact location shown on the
previous page. First, attach one clamp
of the jumper cable to the positive (+)
post or cable of the discharged battery.
Then attach the other end of the same
cable to the positive (+) post or cable
of the booster battery. Next, using the
other cable, attach one clamp to the
negative (-) post or cable of the booster
battery. Then attach the other end of
that cable to a solid metal part of the
engine away from the battery. Do not
connect the cable to any moving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the
booster battery and let it run for a few
minutes. This will help to assure that
the booster battery is fully charged.
During the jumping operation, run the
engine in this vehicle at about 2000
rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the
discharged battery using the normal
starting procedure. After the engine
starts, leave the jumper cables con-
nected and let the engine run at fast
idle or about 2000 rpm for several
minutes.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in
the reverse order of attachment.If you do not know why your battery be-
came discharged (because the lights were
left on, etc.), have the charging system
checked by your Hyundai dealer.

MAINTENANCE PRECAU-
TIONS
!
G020D01TG-GATImproper or incomplete service may re-
sult in problems. This section gives in-
structions only for the maintenance items
that are easy to perform.
Several procedures should be done by
an authorized Hyundai dealer.
NOTE:
Improper owner maintenance during the
warranty period may affect warranty
coverage.WARNING:
o Performing maintenance work on a
vehicle can be dangerous. You can
be seriously injured while perform-
ing some maintenance procedures.
If you lack sufficient knowledge and
experience or the proper tools and
equipment to do the work, have it
done by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
o Working under the hood with the en-
gine running is dangerous. It be-
comes even more dangerous when
you wear jewelry or loose clothing.
These can become entangled in
moving parts and result in injury.
Therefore, if you must run the engine
while working under the hood, make
certain that you remove all jewelry
(especially rings, bracelets, watches,
and necklaces) and all neckties,
scarves, and similar loose clothing
before getting near the engine or
cooling fans.

Headlight
1. Allow the bulb to cool. Wear eye pro-
tection.
2. Open the engine hood and disconnect
the negative (-) post of the battery.
3. Always grasp the bulb by its plastic
base, avoid touching the glass.
4. Disconnect the power cord from the
back of the headlight.
REPLACEMENT OF LIGHT
BULBS!
G260A01MC-AATBefore attempting to replace a light bulb,
be sure the switch is turned to the "OFF"
position.
The next paragraph shows how to reach
the light bulbs so they may be changed.
Be sure to replace the burned-out bulb
with one of the same number and watt-
age rating.
See page 6-27 for the wattage descrip-
tions.
CAUTION:
o Keep the lamps out of contact with
petroleum products, such as oil,
gasoline, etc.
o If you don't have necessary tools,
the correct bulbs and the expertise,
consult your authorized Hyundai
dealer.

o After heavy, driving rain or washing,
headlight and taillight lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is
caused by the temperature differ-
ence between the lamp inside and
outside. This is similar to the con-
densation on your windows inside
your vehicle during the rain and
doesn’t indicate a problem with your
vehicle. If the water leaks into the
lamp bulb circuitry, have the vehicle
checked by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
