est authorized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the system checked.
Generally, your vehicle will continue to be
drivable, but have the system checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer promptly.
CAUTION
Prolonged driving with the
Malfunction Indicator Light illumi-
nated may cause damage to the
emission control systems which
could effect drivability and/or fuel
economy.
If the Malfunction Indicator Light
illuminates or blinks, potential
catalytic converter damage is
possible. This could result in loss
of engine power. Have the Engine
Control System inspected as
soon as possible by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
