The electric rearview mirror automati-
cally controls the glare from the head-
lights of the car behind you in night-
time or low light driving conditions. The
sensor mounted in the mirror senses
the light level around the vehicle, and
automatically controls the headlight
glare from vehicles behind you.
When the engine is running, the glare
is automatically controlled by the sen-
sor mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted
into R (Reverse), the mirror will auto-
matically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the drivers view
behind the vehicle.To operate the electric rearview mirror:
• Press the on/off button (1) to turn the
automatic dimming function on. The
mirror indicator light will illuminate.
Press the on/off button to turn the
automatic dimming function off. The

3. Press the button until the new zone
number appears in the display.
After you stop pressing the button
in, the display will show a compass
direction within a few seconds.
4. Changing Mirror Angle setting
(if equipped):
Due to mirror positions being angled
towards the driver, the compass mir-
ror can also compensate for drivers
seated on the Left Hand side of the
vehicle (steering wheel on the LH
side of the vehicle) or Right Hand
side of the vehicle (steering wheel on
the RH side of the vehicle).To adjust the Left Hand, “L” or Right
Hand, “R”, setting:
1. Press and hold the button for more
than 12 seconds.
2. Release then press the button to
toggle between “L” and “R”.

the vehicle in 2 complete circles at
less than 8km/h (5mph).
CAUTION
1.Do not install the ski rack,
antenna, etc. which are
attached to the vehicle by
means of a magnet. They affect
the operation of the compass.
2.If the compass deviates from
the correct indication soon
after repeated adjustment, we
recommend that the system
be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
3.The compass may not indicate
the correct compass point in
tunnels or while driving up or
down a steep hill.
(The compass returns to the
correct compass point when
the vehicle moves to an area
where the geomagnetism is
stabilized.)
4.When cleaning the mirror, use
a paper towel or similar materi-
al dampened with glass clean-
er. Do not spray glass cleaner

Fuel Gauge
This gauge indicates the approxi-
mate amount of fuel remaining in the
fuel tank.
✽NOTICE
• 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.

when the engine is hot. The
engine coolant is under pres-
sure and could severely burn.
Wait until the engine is cool
before adding coolant to the
reservoir.

beyond the normal range area
toward the “H” position, it indi-
cates overheating that may
damage the engine.
Do not continue driving with an
overheated engine. If your vehi-
cle overheats, refer to “If the
Engine Overheats” in chapter 6.

Parking Brake & Brake
Fluid Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
• Once you set the ignition switch or
Engine Start/Stop Button to the ON
position.
- It illuminates for approximately 3
seconds
- It remains on if the parking brake
is applied.
• When the parking brake is applied.
• When the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low.
- If the warning light illuminates
with the parking brake released, it
indicates the brake fluid level in
reservoir is low.If the brake fluid level in the reservoir
is low:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe
location 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). Then check all brake
components for fluid leaks. If any
leak on the brake system is still
found, the warning light remains
on, or the brakes do not operate
properly, do not drive the vehicle.
In this case, we recommend that
you have the vehicle towed to an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and
inspected.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 are
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.
