Engine Oil LevelWarning Light
(if equipped)
The engine oil level warning light illumi-
nates when the engine oil level should be
checked.
If the warning light comes on, check the
engine oil level as soon as possible andadd engine oil as required.
Slowly pour the recommended oil little by
little into a funnel. (Oil refill capacity :
approximately 0.6 ~ 1.0 l)
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer
to "Recommended lubricants and capac-ities" in chapter 8.)
Do not overfill the engine oil. Make sure
the oil level is not above F (Full) mark on
the dipstick. Information
 If you travel approximately 50 km ~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 warning
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 trav-
elling approximately 50~100 km after
the engine warms up, we recom-
mend 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.

Driving your vehicle
As a result, shifts are sometimes
more noticeable, and a light vibra-
tion can be felt as the transmissionshaft speed is matched with the
engine shaft speed. This is a nor-mal condition of the dual clutch
transmission.
The dry-type clutch transfers torque more directly and provides
a direct-drive feeling which may
feel different from a conventional
automatic transmission. This may
be more noticeable when launch-
ing the vehicle from a stop or when
traveling at low, stop-and-go vehi-
cle speeds.
When rapidly accelerating from a lower vehicle speed, the engine
rpm may increase dramatically asa result of clutch slip as the dual
clutch transmission selects the cor-
rect gear. This is a normal condi-tion.
When accelerating from a stop on an incline, press the accelerator
smoothly and gradually to avoid
any shudder feeling or jerkiness. When traveling at a lower vehicle
speed, if you release the accelera-
tor pedal quickly, you may feel
engine braking before the trans-
mission changes gears. This
engine braking feeling is similar to
operating a manual transmission at
low speed.
When driving downhill, you may wish to move the gear shift lever to
Manual Shift mode and downshift
to a lower gear in order to control
your speed without using the brake
pedal excessively.
When you turn the engine on and off, you may hear clicking soundsas the system goes through a self-
test. This is a normal sound for the
dual clutch transmission.
During the first 1,500 km (1000 miles), you may feel that the vehi-
cle may not be smooth when accel-
erating at low speed. During this
break-in period, the shift quality
and performance of your new vehi-
cle is continuously optimized. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death:
ALWAYS check the surround-
ing areas near your vehicle for
people, especially children,
before shifting a vehicle into
D (Drive) or R (Reverse).
Before leaving the driver's
seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in the P (Park)
position, then set the parking
brake, and place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF posi-
tion. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occurif these precautions are not
followed.
Do not use aggressive engine
braking (shifting from a high-
er gear to a lower gear) on
slippery roads. This could
cause the tires to slip and mayresult in an accident.
WARNING

5-30
Driving your vehicle
Do not apply the acceleratorpedal while the parking brake is
engaged. If you depress theaccelerator pedal with the park-
ing brake engaged, a warning
will sound. Damage to the park-
ing brake may occur.
Driving with the parking brake on can overheat the braking systemand cause premature wear or
damage to brake parts. Make surethe parking brake is released and
the Brake Warning Light is off
before driving. Check the Parking
Brake Warning Light
by placing the ignition
switch to the ON posi-
tion (do not start theengine).
This light will be illuminated when the
parking brake is applied with the igni-
tion switch in the START or ON posi-tion.
Before driving, be sure the parking
brake is released and the Brake
Warning Light is OFF.
If the Parking Brake Warning Light
remains on after the parking brake is
released while the engine is running,
there may be a malfunction in the
brake system. Immediate attention is
necessary.
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.
NOTICE
Whenever leaving the vehicle
or parking, always come to a
complete stop and continueto depress the brake pedal.
Move the shift lever into the
1st gear (for manual transmis-
sion vehicle) or P (Park, for
dual clutch transmission vehi-
cle) position, then apply the
parking brake, and place the
ignition switch in theLOCK/OFF position.
Vehicles with the parking
brake not fully engaged are at
risk for moving inadvertently
and causing injury to yourself
or others.
When parking on an incline,
block the wheels to prevent
the vehicle from rolling down.
NEVER allow anyone who is
unfamiliar with the vehicle to
touch the parking brake. If theparking brake is released
unintentionally, serious injury
may occur.
Only release the parking
brake when you are seated
inside the vehicle with your
foot firmly on the brake pedal.WARNING
