tank is nearly empty. When it comes
on, you should add fuel as soon as
possible. Driving with the fuel level
warning light on or with the fuel level
below “E” can cause the engine to
misfire and damage the catalytic

Malfunction indicatorlight (MIL) (check engine light)
This indicator light is part of the
Engine Control System which moni-
tors various emission control system
components. If this light illuminates
while driving, it indicates that a
potential malfunction has been
detected somewhere in the emission
control system.
This light will also illuminate when
the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position, and will go out in a few
seconds after the engine is started. If
it illuminates while driving, or does
not illuminate when the ignition
switch is in the ON position, take
your vehicle to your nearest author-
ized 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 - MIL
illumination
Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator Lightilluminated may cause damageto the emission control sys-tems which could effect dri-vability and/or fuel economy.
If the Emission Control Malfunction Indicator Lightilluminates, potential catalyticconverter damage is possiblewhich could result in loss ofengine power. Have the EngineControl System inspected assoon as possible by an author-ized HYUNDAI dealer.

The ABS warning light will stay on for
approximately 3 seconds after the
ignition switch is ON. During that
time, the ABS will go through self-
diagnosis and the light will go off if
everything is normal. If the light stays
on, you may have a problem with
your ABS but your regular brakes will
work normally. Contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possi-
ble. When you drive on a road having
poor traction, such as an icy road,
and have operated your brakes
continuously, the ABS will be active
continuously and the ABS warning
light may illuminate. Pull your vehi-
cle over to a safe place and stop
the engine.
Restart the engine. If the ABS warning light goes off, then your
ABS is normal. Otherwise, you
may have a problem with the ABS.
Contact an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the
engine may not run as smoothly and
the ABS warning light may turn on
at the same time. This happens
because of low battery voltage. It
does not mean your ABS has mal-
functioned.
• Do not pump your brakes!
• Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.
Electronic stability control
(ESC)
The Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system is designed to help
stabilize the vehicle during cornering
maneuvers. ESC checks where you
are steering and where the vehicle is
actually going.
ESC applies the brakes at individual
wheels and intervenes with the
engine management system to help
stabilize the vehicle.
Electronic stability control (ESC) will
not prevent accidents. Excessive
speed in turns, abrupt maneuvers
and hydroplaning on wet surfaces
can still result in serious accidents.

Driving your vehicle
Only a safe and attentive driver can
prevent accidents by avoiding maneu-
vers that cause the vehicle to lose
traction. Even with ESC installed,
always follow all the normal precau-
tions for driving - including driving at
safe speeds for the conditions.
The Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system is an electronic sys-
tem designed to help the driver main-
tain vehicle control under adverse
conditions. It is not a substitute for
safe driving practices. Factors includ-
ing speed, road conditions and driv-
er steering input can all affect
whether ESC will be effective in pre-
venting a loss of control. It is still your
responsibility to drive and corner at
reasonable speeds and to leave a
sufficient margin of safety.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear a “tik-tik’’
sound from the brakes, or feel a cor-
responding sensation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and it means
your ESC is active.ESC operation
ESC ON condition
When the ignition is turned ON,ESC and ESC OFF indicator lights
illuminate for approximately 3 sec-
onds, then ESC is turned on.
Press the ESC OFF button after turning the ignition ON to turn ESC
off. (ESC OFF indicator will illumi-
nate). To turn the ESC on, press
the ESC OFF button (ESC OFF
indicator light will go off).
When starting the engine, you may hear a slight ticking sound. This is
the ESC performing an automatic
system self-check and does not
indicate a problem. When operating
When the ESC is in opera-
tion, the ESC indicator light
blinks.

ing properly, you can feel a
slight pulsation in the vehi-
cle. This is only the effect
