Door ajar warning light
This warning light illuminates when a
door and the electrical step (for bus)are not closed securely with the igni-
tion in any position.
Fuel filter warning light
This warning light illuminates for 3
seconds after the ignition switch isset to the ON position and then it will
go out. If it lights up while the engine
is running, it indicates that water has
accumulated inside the fuel filter. If
this happens, remove the water from
the fuel filter. For more information,
refer to “Fuel filter” in section 7.
Diesel preheat indica-tor light
The indicator light illuminates amber
when the ignition switch is placed at
the "ON" position. The engine can be
started after the preheat indicator
light goes off. The illuminating time
varies with the water temperature, air
temperature and battery condition.
If the engine were not started within 10 seconds after the pre-
heating is completed, turn the
ignition key once more to the
"LOCK" position, and then to the
"ON" position, in order to preheat
again.
NOTICE
When the fuel filter warning
light is illuminated, engine
power (vehicle speed & idle
speed) may decrease. If youkeep driving with the warning
light on, you can damage your
vehicle's engine parts and
injection system. If this occurs,we recommend that the system
be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
Before driving, make sure that
all doors and the electrical
step are securely closed, andthat all warning lights are
turned OFF.
While any warning light illumi-
nates, turning OFF the engine
may discharge the battery and
fail the engine starting.
Before leaving the vehicle,
securely close all doors and
lock them.

DPF (Diesel ParticulateFilter) Warning
Indicator
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
system removes the soot emitted
from the vehicle.
Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF
system automatically burns (oxi-
dizes) and removes the accumulated
soot while driving.
However, if the vehicle continues to
be driven in short distance repeated-
ly or at low speed for a long time, the
accumulated soot may not be auto-
matically removed because of low
exhaust gas temperature. In this par-
ticular case, if the amount of soot is
out of detection limit, the DPF warn-
ing indicator ( ) will illuminate. In
order to start the DPF regeneration
and to stop the DPF warning lamp
illuminating, drive the vehicle in a
safety driving circumstance with
more than 60km/h (37 mph) vehiclespeed or with more than secondgear engaged and 1500 ~ 2000
engine rpm for a certain time (for
about 25 minutes). If the DPF warning indicator( )
continues to blink or "check emissionsystem" message comes on in the
cluster in spite of the above proce-
dure, we recommend that the system
be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
If you continue to drive with the indi-
cator light blinking for a long time, theDPF system can be damaged and
fuel consumption can be worsen.
Urea Level Warning
lamp
The urea level warning lamp illumi-
nates, when the urea solution vol-
ume falls below 12% or less of the
tank. Without adding the urea solu-
tion, when the urea solution volume
drops to 6%, urea level warning lamp
will start blinking. When the urea
solution volume drops 4% or under,
both urea level warning lamp and
urea system warning lamp will simul-
taneously blink with limited torque.
When the urea volume falls below
1%, both lamps will stay blinking sta-
tus with limited vehicle speed.
When the urea level warning lamp
illuminates, the urea solution mustbe added.
The urea level warning lamp will still
illuminate with the remaining drivingdistance after replenishment, and
then the lamp will go out after sever-
al minutes driving or after several
minutes ignition on status.

Urea system warninglamp
When the vehicle has critical prob- lems such as incorrect urea replen-
ishment, urea consumption devia-
tion, urea dosing interruption or
EGR(exhaust gas recirculation) sys-tem malfunction, the urea system
warning lamp will start blink with lim-
ited engine torque or vehicle speed.
Engine oil level warn-ing light (if equipped)
The engine oil level warning light illu-
minates when the engine oil level
should be checked.
If the warning light comes on, check
the engine oil level as soon as possi-
ble and add engine oil as required.
Slowly pour the recommended oil lit-
tle by little into a funnel. Use only the specified engine oil.
(Refer to "Recommended lubricantsand capacities" in section 8.)
Do not overfill the engine oil to
ensure the oil level is not above F
mark on the dipstick. Information
 If you travel approximately 50~100 km after the engine warms up, after
adding the engine oil, the warning
light will go off.
 Cycle the ignition from OFF to ON 3 times within 10 seconds, the warn-
ing light will go off immediately.
However, when you turn off the
warning light without adding the
engine oil, the light will come on
again after traveling approximately
50~100 km after the engine warms
up.
If the light comes on continuously
after adding the engine oil and
traveling approximately 50~100
km after the engine warms up, werecommend that the system be
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Even if this light doesn't come on
after the engine has started, the
engine oil should be checked and
supplied periodically.

Windshield washers
In the OFF position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer
fluid on the windshield and to run the
wipers 1-3 cycles. Use this function when the wind-
shield is dirty.
The spray and wiper operation will
continue until you release the lever.
If the washer does not work, check
the washer fluid level. If the fluid level
is not sufficient, you will need to add
appropriate non-abrasive windshield
washer fluid to the washer reservoir.The reservoir filler neck is located in
the front of the engine compartment
on the passenger side.
(Continued)
Control of the wiper speed
below the HI position, as the
situation allows, while driving
at a low speed
Stop the wiper operation on a
dry windshield
Although the rain stops dur- ing driving with the wiper
switch in AUTO, the wiper may
continuously operate if therainwater remains on the win-
dows.
To prevent possible damage to
the washer pump, do not oper-ate the washer when the fluid
reservoir is empty.
CAUTION
Do not use the washer in freez-
ing temperatures without firstwarming the windshield with
the defrosters; the washer solu-
tion could freeze on the wind-
shield and obscure your vision.

ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle,
open the windows immediately.
Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by
asphyxiation.
Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose.
If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of
the vehicle, we recommend that the system be checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the
engine in your garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the vehicle out.
Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the vehicle.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the vehicle, be sure to do so only in
an open area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn
into the interior.
If you must drive with the tailgate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher
speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the
windshield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

Power brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted
brakes that adjust automatically
through normal usage.
In the event that the power-assisted
brakes lose power because of astalled engine or some other reason,
you can still stop your vehicle by
applying greater force to the brake
pedal than you normally would. The
stopping distance, however, will be
longer.
When the engine is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially
depleted each time the brake pedal
is applied. Do not pump the brake
pedal when the power assist has
been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when
necessary to maintain steering con-
trol on slippery surfaces.

Brakes
Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal.This will create abnormal high
brake temperatures, exces-sive brake lining and pad
wear, and increased stoppingdistances.
When descending a long or
steep hill, shift to a lower gear
and avoid continuous applica-
tion of the brakes. Continuousbrake application will cause
the brakes to overheat and
could result in a temporary
loss of braking performance.
Wet brakes may impair the
vehicle’s ability to safely slow
down; the vehicle may alsopull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Applying
the brakes lightly will indicate
whether they have been
affected in this way.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)Always test your brakes in this fashion after driving
through deep water. To dry the
brakes, apply them lightly
while maintaining a safe for-
ward speed until brake per-
formance returns to normal.
Always, confirm the position of the brake and accelerator
pedal before driving. If you
don't check the position of theaccelerator and brake pedal
before driving, you maydepress the accelerator
instead of the brake pedal. It
may cause a serious accident.

Check the brake warning light by
turning the ignition switch ON (do not
start the engine). This light will be
illuminated when the parking brake is
applied with the ignition switch in the
START or ON position.
Before driving, be sure the parking
brake is fully released and the brake
warning light is off.
If the brake warning light remains on
after the parking brake is released
while engine is running, there may
be a malfunction in the brake sys-
tem. Immediate attention is neces-
sary.If at all possible, cease driving the
vehicle immediately. If that is not pos-
sible, use extreme caution while
operating the vehicle and only con-
tinue to drive the vehicle until you
can reach a safe location or repair
shop.
If you drive while parking brake is
applied, the parking brake warning
light comes on and warning buzzer
sounds simultaneously.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
WP-009
ABS (or VDC) will not prevent
accidents due to improper or
dangerous driving maneuvers.
Even though vehicle control is
improved during emergency
braking, always maintain a safe
distance between you and
objects ahead. Vehicle speeds
should always be reduced dur-
ing extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for vehicle
equipped with an anti-lock brak-
ing system (Electronic Stability
Program System) may be longer
than for those without it in the
following road conditions. During these conditions the
vehicle should be driven atreduced speeds:
