Convenience Features
Charging SystemWarning Light
When this warning light illuminates
while the engine is running, the bat-
tery is not being charged. Immediately
turn OFF all electrical accessories.
Try not to use electrically operated
controls, such as the power windows.
Keep the engine running.
Have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.
Engine Oil PressureWarning Light
This warning light illuminates:
When the engine oil pressure is low.
If the engine oil pressure is low:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe
location and stop your vehicle.
2. Turn the engine off and check the engine oil level (For more details,
refer to "Engine Oil" in chapter 7) .
If the level is low, add oil as required.
If the warning light remains on
after adding oil or if oil is not avail-
able, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
as soon as possible. If the oil pressure lowers due to
insufficient engine oil, etc., the
engine oil pressure warning
light turns on.
If this warning light turns on while driving, drive carefully to
the side of the road and stop the
vehicle, check the engine oil
level, and add if insufficient.
If the engine oil isn't insufficient, or if the warning light does not
turn off even after adding, we
recommend to inspect the vehi-
cle by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.
Driving with the warning light on may cause engine failure.
* When oil pressure is restored to an optimal level, the oil pressure
warning light will turn off. Even
if the oil pressure returns to nor-
mal, check the engine once
again in a safe place.

Maintenance
To prevent damage to your engine:
Do not spill engine oil whenadding or changing engine oil.
Wipe off spilled oil immediately.
The engine oil consumption may increase while you break in a
new vehicle and it will be stabi-
lized after driving 4,000 miles
(6,000 km).
The engine oil consumption can be affected by driving habits, cli-
mate conditions, traffic condi-
tions, oil quality, etc. Therefore, it
is recommended that you
inspect the engine oil level regu-
larly and refill it if necessary.
Checking the Engine Oil and
Filter
Have engine oil and filter changed
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
according to the Maintenance
Schedule at the beginning of this
chapter.
If the maintenance schedule to
replace engine oil is exceeded, the
engine oil performance may deteri-
orate, and the engine condition
may be affected. Therefore,
replace the engine oil according to
the maintenance schedule.
To keep the engine in optimal con-
dition, use the recommended
engine oil and filter. If the recom-
mended engine oil and filter are
not used, replace it according to
the maintenance schedule under
severe usage conditions.
The purpose of the maintenance
schedule for engine oil replace-
ment is to prevent oil deterioration
and it is irrelevant to oil consump-
tion. Check and refill engine oil reg-
ularly.
NOTICE
The engine oil is very hot imme-
diately after the vehicle has
been driven and can cause
burns during replacement.
Replace the engine oil after the
engine oil has cooled down.

Checking the Brake Fluid
Level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the
side of the reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap
and adding brake fluid, clean the
area around the reservoir cap thor-
oughly to prevent brake fluid contam-
ination. If the level is low, add the specified
brake fluid to the MAX level. The level
will fall with accumulated mileage.
This is a normal condition associated
with the wear of the brake linings. If
the fluid level is excessively low, have
the brake system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not allow brake fluid to con-
tact the vehicle's body paint, as
paint damage will result.
Brake fluid, which has been exposed to open air for an
extended time should NEVER be
used as its quality cannot be
guaranteed. It should be dis-
posed of properly.
Do not use the incorrect brake fluid. A few drops of mineral
based oil, such as engine oil, in
your brake system can damage
brake system parts.
Information
Use only the specified brake fluid
(refer to "Recommended Lubricants
and Capacities" in chapter 8).
i
NOTICE
If the brake system requires fre-
quent additions of fluid this
could indicate a leak in the
brake system. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
Do not allow brake fluid to come
in contact with your eyes. If
brake fluid comes in contact
with your eyes, flush your eyes
with clean water for at least 15
minutes and get immediate
medical attention.
