Low Oil Pressure Warning Light
CAUTION:
If the low oil pressure warning light stays on
while the engine is running, serious engine
damage may result. The oil pressure warning
light comes on whenever there is insufficient
oil pressure. In normal operation, it should
come on when the ignition switch is turned on,
then go out when the engine is started. If the
oil pressure warning light stays on while the
engine is running, there is a serious malfunc-
tion.
If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is safe
to do so, turn off the engine and check the oil
level. If the oil level is low, fill the engine oil to
the proper level and start the engine again. If
the light stays on with the engine running, turn
the engine off immediately. In any instance
where the oil light stays on when the engine
is running, the engine should be checked by
a Hyundai dealer before the car is driven again.

C190B01S-AATTrailer HitchesSelect the proper hitch and ball combination,
making sure that its location is compatible with
that of the trailer or vehicle being towed.
Use a quality non-equalizing hitch which distrib-
utes the tongue load uniformly throughout the
chassis.
The hitch should be bolted securely to the car
and installed by a qualified technician. DO NOT
USE A HITCH DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY
INSTALLATION AND NEVER USE ONE THAT
ATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.C190C01Y-AATTrailer BrakesIf your trailer is equipped with a braking system,
make sure it conforms to federal and/or local
regulations and that it is properly installed and
operating correctly.NOTE:If you tow a trailer or vehicle, your car will
require more frequent maintenance due to
the additional load. See Maintenance Under
Severe Usage Conditions" on page 5-6.
TRAILER OR VEHICLE TOWING!
C190A01TG-AATIf you are considering towing with your car, you
should first check with your State's Department
of Motor Vehicles to determine their legal re-
quirements.
Since laws vary from State to State the require-
ments for towing trailers, cars, or other types of
vehicles or apparatus may differ. Ask your
Hyundai dealer for further details before towing.
CAUTION:
o Do not do any towing with your car
during its first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) in
order to allow the engine to properly
break in. Failure to heed this caution may
result in serious engine or transaxle
damage.
o When towing a trailer, be sure to consult
your Hyundai dealer for further informa-
tion on additional requirements such as
a towing kit, etc.
USE OF LIGHTSC180A01A-AATCheck your lights regularly for correct opera-
tion and always keep them clean. When driving
during the day in conditions of poor visibility, it
is helpful to drive with headlights on low beam.

REPLACEMENT OF LIGHT BULBSG260A02L-GATBefore attempting to replace a light bulb, be sure
the switch is turned to the "OFF" position.
The next paragraph shows how to reach the
light bulbs so they may be changed. Be sure to
replace the burned-out bulb with one of the
same number and wattage rating.
See page 6-35 for the wattage descriptions.
!
CAUTION:
o Keep the lights out of contact with pe-
troleum products, such as oil, gasoline,
etc.
o Be sure to replace the LED type equipped
bulbs with an assembly.
o After heavy, driving rain or washing,
headlight and taillight lenses could ap-
pear frosty. This condition is caused by
the temperature difference between the
lamp inside and outside. This is similar
to the condensation on your windows
inside your vehicle during the rain and
doesn’t indicate a problem with your
vehicle. If the water leaks into the lamp
bulb circuitry, have the vehicle checked
by an Authorized Hyundai Dealer.
Replacement instructions:
1. Allow the bulb to cool. Wear eye protection.
2. Open the engine hood.
3. Always grasp the bulb by its plastic base,
avoid touching the glass.G270A01NF-AATHEADLIGHT, FRONT TURN SIGNAL
