Information
Make sure to refuel your vehicle
according to the "Fuel Requirements"
suggested in the Introduction chapter.
Do not spill fuel on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Any type of fuel spilled on painted sur-
faces may damage the paint.
If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, use only a genuine
HYUNDAI cap or the equivalent
specified for your vehicle. Anincorrect fuel filler cap canresult in a serious malfunctionof the fuel system or emission
control system.
NOTICE
i(Continued)
Once refueling has begun,
contact between your bare
hand and the vehicle shouldbe maintained until the filling
is complete.
Use only approved portable
plastic fuel containers designed
to carry and store gasoline.
When refueling, always move
the shift lever to the P (Park)
position (for automatic trans-mission/
dual clutch transmis-
sion) or first gear or R (Reverse,
for manual transmission), set
the parking brake, and place the
ignition switch to the LOCK/
OFF position. Sparks produced
by electrical components relat-ed to the engine can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire.
Do not use matches or a lighter and do not smoke or
leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle while at a gas station,
especially during refueling.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause
gasoline spillage.
If a fire breaks out during refu-
eling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gasstation and then contact the
local fire department. Follow
any safety instructions they
provide.
If pressurized fuel sprays out,
it can cover your clothes or
skin and thus subject you to
the risk of fire and burns.
Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap
is venting fuel or if you hear a
hissing sound, wait until the
condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.
Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the eventof an accident.

Gauges and Meters
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the
speed of the vehicle and is calibratedin kilometers per hour (km/h) and/ormiles per hour (MPH).
Tachometer
The tachometer indicates the
approximate number of engine revo-
lutions per minute (rpm). Use the tachometer to select the cor-
rect shift points and to prevent lug-
ging and/or over-revving the engine. Do not operate the engine within
the tachometer's RED ZONE. This
may cause severe engine damage.
Engine coolant temperaturegauge
This gauge indicates the tempera-ture of the engine coolant when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
If the gauge pointer moves
beyond the normal range area
toward the "H" position, it indi-
cates overheating that may dam-
age the engine.
Do not continue driving with an
overheated engine. If your vehicle
overheats, refer to "If the Engine
Overheats" in chapter 6.

Fuel gauge
This gauge indicates the approxi- mate amount of fuel remaining in thefuel tank.Information
 The fuel tank capacity is given in chapter 8.
 The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light, which will
illuminate when the fuel tank is
nearly empty.
 On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel
warning light may come on earlier
than usual due to the movement of
fuel in the tank. Avoid driving with an extremely
low fuel level. Running out of fuelcould cause the engine to misfire
damaging the catalytic converter.
NOTICE
i
Never remove the radiator cap
or reservoir cap when the
engine is hot. The enginecoolant is under pressure and
could severely burn. Wait until
the engine is cool before adding
coolant to the reservoir.
WARNING
OPD047462C
Running out of fuel can expose
vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain addi-
tional fuel as soon as possibleafter the warning light comes
on or when the gauge indicator
comes close to the "E (Empty)"
level.

Range
The range is the estimated dis-tance the vehicle can be driven with the remaining fuel.
If the estimated distance is below 1 km (1 mi.), the trip computer will
display "----" as range. Information
 If the vehicle is not on level ground or the battery power has been inter-
rupted, the range function may not
operate correctly.
 The range may differ from the actu- al driving distance as it is an esti-
mate of the available driving dis-
tance.
 The trip computer may not register additional fuel if less than 6 liters
(1.5 gallon) of fuel are added to the
vehicle.
 The range may vary significantly based on driving conditions, driving
habits, and condition of the vehicle.

If the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir is low:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safelocation and stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check the brake fluid level immediately and add fluid as required (For more
details, refer to "Brake Fluid" in
chapter 7) . After adding brake
fluid, check all brake components
for fluid leaks. If a brake fluid leak is
found, or if the warning light
remains on, or if the brakes do not
operate properly, do not drive the
vehicle. Have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal braking systems. This
means you still have braking on two
wheels even if one of the dual sys-
tems should fail. With only one of the dual systems
working, more than normal pedal
travel and greater pedal pressure is
required to stop the vehicle. Also, the vehicle will not stop in as
short a distance with only a portion
of the brake system working.
If the brakes fail while you are driv-
ing, shift to a lower gear for addition-
al engine braking and stop the vehi-
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Anti-lock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
When you place the ignition switch to the ON position.
- It illuminates for approximately 3seconds and then goes off.
When there is a malfunction with the ABS (The normal braking sys-
tem will still be operational without
the assistance of the anti-lock
brake system).
In this case, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Parking Brake & Brake Fluid
Warning Light
Driving the vehicle with a warn-
ing light ON is dangerous. If the
Parking Brake & Brake Fluid
Warning Light illuminates with
the parking brake released, itindicates that the brake fluid
level is low.
In this case, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
