Features of your vehicle
Immobilizer indicator
•  When  the ignition  switch  is turned  to
the ON position and the indicator turns
off  after  2 seconds,  the  system  may
need repair. Have the  vehicle checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Malfunction indicator light
(MIL) (check engine light)
Without smart key system
This light illuminates when the immobiliz-
er key  is inserted  and turned to  the ON
position to start the engine.
At this time, you can start the engine.The
light goes out after the engine is running.
If this light blinks when the ignition switch
is in  the ON position  before starting  the
engine, have  the system checked  by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
This indicator  light is  part of the  Engine
Control  System which  monitors  various
emission control  system  components. If
this light illuminates  while driving, it indi-
cates  that  a  potential  malfunction  has
been  detected somewhere  in the  emis-
sion control 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
while driving, or does not illuminate when
the  ignition switch  is  turned  to  the ON
position, take  your vehicle  to your near-
est   authorized   HYUNDAI  dealer   and
have the system checked.
When the battery is weak, if the engine
start/stop button is depressed, the indi-
cator will blink and you will  not be able
to start  the engine. However, you  may
still  be  able   to  start  the   engine  by
inserting  the  smart  key  in  the smart
key holder. If smart key system related
parts need repair, the indicator  blinks.
Low fuel level warning light
With smart key system (if equipped)
If any of the following occurs  in a vehicle
equipped with the smart key, the immobi-
lizer  indicator  illuminates,  blinks  or the
light goes off.
This warning light  indicates the fuel tank
is nearly  empty. When it  comes on,  you
should  add  fuel  as   soon  as  possible.
Driving with the fuel level warning light on
or with the fuel level below “E” can cause
the  engine  to  misfire  and  damage the
catalytic converter.
When the smart key is in the vehicle, if
the  engine start/stop  button is  turned
to  the  ON position,  the  indicator  will
illuminate  until  the engine  is  started.
However, when the smart  key is not in
the vehicle, if the engine start/stop but-
ton is depressed, the indicator will blink
for a  few minutes  to indicate  that you
will not be able to start  the engine.
Generally, your vehicle will continue to be
drivable, but have the system checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer promptly.
