IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START
If engine doesn't turn over or
turns over slowly
1. If your vehicle has an automatic
transaxle, be sure the shift lever is in N
(Neutral) or P (Park) and the emer-
gency brake is set.
2. Check the battery connections to be sure they are clean and tight.
3. Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you operate the
starter, the battery is discharged.
4. Check the starter connections to be sure they are securely tightened.
5. Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it. See instructions for "Jump starting". If engine turns over normally but
does not start
1. Check fuel level.
2. With the ignition switch in the LOCK/
OFF position, check all connectors at
ignition, coil and spark plugs.
Reconnect any that may be discon-
nected or loose.
3. Check the fuel line in the engine com- partment.
4. If the engine still does not start, we recommend that you call an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
If the engine will not start, do not
push or pull the vehicle to start it.This could result in a collision or
cause other damage. In addition,
push or pull starting may cause the
catalytic converter to be over-
loaded and create a fire hazard.

Operating precautions for catalyticconverters (if equipped)Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter emission control device.
Therefore, the following precautions
must be observed:
 Use only UNLEADED FUEL for gaso- line engine.
 Do not operate the vehicle when there are signs of engine malfunction, such
as misfire or a noticeable loss of per-
formance.
 Do not misuse or abuse the engine. Examples of misuse are coasting withthe ignition off and descending steep
grades in gear with the ignition off.
 Do not operate the engine at high idle speed for extended periods (5 minutesor more).
 Do not modify or tamper with any part of the engine or emission control sys-
tem. We recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
 Avoid driving with a extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel cause the
engine to misfire, damaging the cat-
alytic converter.
Failure to observe these precautionscould result in damage to the catalytic
converter and to your vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void your
warranties.Diesel Particulate Filter (if equipped)
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) sys-
tem removes the soot emitted from the
vehicle.
Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF
system automatically burns (oxidizes)
and removes the accumulated soot
according to the driving condition. In
other words, the active burning by engine
control system and high exhaust gas
temperature caused by normal/high driv-
ing condition burns and removes the
accumulated soot.
However, if the vehicle continues to be
driven at low speed for long time, the
accumulated soot may not be automati-
cally removed because of low exhaust
gas temperature. In this particular case,the amount of soot is out of detection
limit, the soot oxidation process by
engine control system may not happen
and the malfunction indicator light may
blink. When the malfunction indicator light
blinks, it may stop blinking by driving the
vehicle at more than 60km/h (37 mph) orat more than second gear with 1500 ~
2000 engine rpm for a certain time (for
about 25 minutes).
WARNING - Fire
 A hot exhaust system can ignite flammable items under your vehi-
cle. Do not park, idle, or drive the
vehicle over or near flammable
objects, such as dry grass, paper,
leaves, etc.
 The exhaust system and catalytic system are very hot while the
engine is running or immediately
after the engine is turned off.
Keep away from the exhaust sys-
tem and catalytic, you may get
burned.
Also, do not remove the heat sink
around the exhaust system, do
not seal the bottom of the vehicle
or do not coat the vehicle for cor-
rosion control. It may present a
fire risk under certain conditions.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL FUEL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
A WARNING indicates a situation in
which harm, serious bodily injury ordeath could result if the warning isignored.
CAUTION
A CAUTION indicates a situation in which damage to your vehicle couldresult if the caution is ignored.
CAUTION
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. Theuse of leaded fuel is detrimental to the catalytic converter and will
damage the engine control sys- tem’s oxygen sensor and affectemission control.
Never add any fuel system cleaningagents to the fuel tank other than
what has been specified. (We rec- ommend that you consult a HYUNDAI authorised repairer fordetails.)

Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the approxi- mate amount of fuel remaining in the fuel
tank. The fuel tank capacity is given in
section 8. The fuel gauge is supplement-
ed 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 thetank.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. The enginecoolant is under pressure and
could cause severe burns. Wait
until the engine is cool before
adding coolant to the reservoir.
CAUTION
If the gauge pointer moves beyond the normal range area toward the
“ ” position, it indicates over-heating that may damage theengine.

key in the vehicle, we recommend that
the system be checked by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
 When the battery is weak, if the ENGINE START/STOP button is
pressed, the indicator will blink and you
are not able to start the engine.
However, you are able to start the
engine by inserting the smart key in
the smart key holder. Also, if the smart
key system related parts have a prob-
lem, the indicator will blink.
Low fuel level warning
This warning light indicates the fuel tank
is nearly empty. When it comes on, you

CAUTION - Diesel engine
If the Emission Control System
Malfunction Indicator Light blinks,some error related to the injection quantity adjustment occurs whichcould result in loss of engine
power, combustion noise and pooremission. We recommend that thesystem be inspected by a HYUNDAIauthorised repairer.
Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) (check engine light)
This indicator light is part of the Engine
Control System which monitors various
emission control system components. If
this light illuminates whilst driving, it indi-
cates that a potential problem has been
detected somewhere in the emissioncontrol system. This light will also illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, and will go out in a few seconds
after the engine is started. If it illuminates
whilst driving, or does not illuminate
when the ignition key is turned to the ON
position, we recommend that the system
be checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
Generally, your vehicle will continue to be
drivable, but we recommend that the sys-
tem be checked by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.
CAUTION - Diesel engine
(if equipped with DPF)
When the malfunction indicator light is blinks, it may stop blinking
after driving the vehicle at more than 37 mph (60km/h) or at morethan second gear with 1500 ~ 2000 engine rpm for a certain time (for
about 25 minutes).
If the malfunction indicator lightcontinues to blink in spite of the procedure, we recommend that the
system be checked by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
If you continue to drive with themalfunction indicator light blinking
for a long time, the DPF system can be damaged and fuel consumptioncan be worsen.
CAUTION
Prolonged driving with the Emission Control System
Malfunction Indicator Light illumi-nated may cause damage to the emission control systems whichcould effect drivability and/or fuel
economy.
CAUTION - Petrol engine
If the Emission Control SystemMalfunction Indicator Light illumi-
nates, potential catalytic converterdamage is possible which could result in loss of engine power. We
recommend that the system be inspected by a HYUNDAI autho-rised repairer.
