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 emission
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
whilst driving, or does not illuminate
when the ignition key is turned to the ON
position, take your vehicle to your near-
est HYUNDAI authorised repairer and
have the system checked.
Generally, your vehicle will continue to be
drivable, but have the system checked by
a HYUNDAI authorised repairer prompt-
ly.
