Features of your vehicle
High beam indicator
This indicator illuminates when the head-
lights are on and in the high beam posi-
tion or when the turn signal lever is pulled
into the Flash-to-Pass position.
Tail light indicator
(if equipped)
The indicator illuminates when the tail
lights or headlights are ON.
LED headlamp (low beam)
malfunction indicator
(if equipped)
The LED headlamp (low beam) malfunc-
tion indicator comes on or blinks if there
is malfunction of the LED headlamp and
related parts.
Continuous driving with the indicator
remains on can reduce LED headlamp
(low beam) life. Take your vehicle to an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and have
the system checked.
Engine oil pressure
warning light
This warning light indicates the engine oil
pressure is low.
If the warning light illuminates while driv-
ing:
1. Drive safely to the side of the road and
stop.
2. With the engine off, check the engine
oil level. If the level is low, add oil as
required.
If the warning light remains on after
adding oil or if oil is not available, call an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
If the engine is not stopped imme-
diately after the engine oil pressure
warning light is illuminated, severe
damage could result.
CAUTION
If the oil pressure warning light
stays on while the engine is run-
ning, serious engine damage may
result. The oil pressure warning
light comes on whenever there is
insufficient oil pressure. In normal
operation, it should come on when
the ignition switch is turned on,
then go out when the engine is
started. If the oil pressure warning
light stays on while the engine is
running, there is a serious malfunc-
tion.
If this happens, stop the car as
soon as it is safe to do so, turn off
the engine and check the oil level. If
the oil level is low, fill the engine oil
to the proper level and start the
engine again. If the light stays on
with the engine running, turn the
engine off immediately. In any
instance where the oil light stays on
when the engine is running, the
engine should be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer before
the car is driven again.

Features of your vehicle
Battery saver function
• The purpose of this feature is to pre-
vent the battery from being dis-
charged. The system automatically
turns off the parking lights when the
driver turns off the engine and opens
the driver-side door.
• With this feature, the parking lights will
be turned off automatically if the driver
parks on the side of road at night.
If necessary, to keep the lights on
when the engine start/stop button is
turned to the OFF position, perform the
following:
1) Open the driver-side door.
2) Turn the parking lights OFF and ON
again using the light switch on the
steering column.
Headlight welcome function
(if equipped)
When the headlight is ON or AUTO posi-
tion and all doors (and trunk) are closed
and locked, if you press the door unlock
button on the smart key, the headlights
will come on for about 15 seconds. At this
time, if you press the door lock or unlock
button, the headlights will turn off imme-
diately.
Headlight escort function
(if equipped)
If you turn the engine start/stop button to
the ACC or OFF position with the head-
lights ON, the headlights (and/or tail

and closed, the headlights are turned off
after 30 seconds.
The headlights can be turned off by
pressing the door lock button on the
smart key twice or turning the light switch
to the OFF or Auto position.
If the headlight switch is in the AUTO
position, the function can only operate at
night.

vehicle network system, the headlights
(low beam) turn on automatically with the
engine start/stop button in the ON posi-
tion even though the headlight switch is
not turned on. At this time, the emer-
gency lighting is not turned off when the
headlight switch is turned off.
LIGHTING
CAUTION
If the driver gets out of the vehicle
through other doors (except dri-
ver's door), the battery saver func-
tion does not operate and the head-
light escort function does not turn
off automatically. Therefore, it caus-
es the battery to be discharged. In
this case, make sure to turn off the
lamp before getting out of the vehi-
cle.

your vehicle checked by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as

position while the engine is running, the
taillights and headlights will be turned

sensor (1) located on the instru-
ment panel. This will ensure bet-
ter auto-light system control.

Maintenance
Headlight (HID/LED type) bulb
replacement
If the light bulb is not operating, have the
vehicle checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
✽NOTICE
HID/LED lamps have superior per-
formance vs. halogen bulbs. HID/LED
lamps are estimated by the manufactur-
er to last twice as long or longer than
halogen bulbs depending on their fre-
quency of use. They will probably
require replacement at some point in the
life of the vehicle. Cycling the head-
lamps on and off more than typical use
will shorten HID/LED lamps life. HID/
LED lamps do not fail in the same man-
ner as halogen incandescent lamps. If a
headlamp goes out after a period of
operation but will immediately relight
when the headlamp switch is cycled it is
likely the HID/LED lamp needs to be
replaced. HID/LED lighting compo-
nents are more complex than conven-
tional halogen bulbs thus have higher
replacement cost.
Headlight bulb (High)
OHD076046
WARNING- Halogen bulbs
• Halogen bulbs contain pressur-
ized gas that will produce flying
pieces of glass if broken.
• Always handle them carefully,
and avoid scratches and abra-
sions. If the bulbs are lit, avoid
contact with liquids. Never touch
the glass with bare hands.
Residual oil may cause the bulb
to overheat and burst when lit. A
bulb should be operated only
when installed in a headlight.

WARNING -
HID/LED Headlight low
beam (if equipped)
Do not attempt to replace or
inspect the low beam (XENON bulb/
LED) due to electric shock danger.
If the low beam (XENON bulb/LED)
is not working, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

Maintenance
Traffic Change (For Europe)
The low beam light distribution is asym-
metric.
If you go abroad to a country with oppo-
site traffic direction, this asymmetric part
will dazzle oncoming car driver. To pre-
vent dazzle, ECE regulation demand
several technical solutions (ex. automatic
change system, adhesive sheet, down
aiming). This headlamps are designed
not to dazzle opposite drivers. So, you
need not change your headlamps in a
country with opposite traffic direction.
