Hyundai Santa Fe: How vehicle radio works / FM radio station
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequencies and do not bend to follow the
earth’s surface. Because of this, FM broadcasts generally begin to fade at short
distances from the station. Also, FM signals are easily affected by buildings, mountains,
or other obstructions. These can result in certain listening conditions which might
lead you to believe a problem exists with your radio.
The following conditions are normal and do not indicate radio trouble :
- Fading - As your vehicle moves away from the radio station, the signal
will weaken and sound will begin to fade. When this occurs, we suggest that
you select another stronger station.
- Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the
transmitter and your radio can disturb the signal causing static or fluttering
noises to occur. Reducing the treble level may lessen this effect until the
disturbance clears.
- Station Swapping - As a FM signal weakens, another more powerful signal
near the same frequency may begin to play. This is because your radio is designed
to lock onto the clearest signal. If this occurs, select another station with
a stronger signal.
- Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals being received from several
directions can cause distortion or fluttering. This can be caused by a direct
and reflected signal from the same station, or by signals from two stations
with close frequencies. If this occurs, select another station until the condition
has passed.
AM broadcasts can be received at greater distances than FM broadcasts. This is
because AM radio waves are transmitted at low frequencies. These long, low frequency
radio waves can follow the curvature of the earth rather than travelling straight
out into the atmosphere...
When a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle, noise may be produced from
the audio system. This does not mean that something is wrong with the audio equipment...

Description of ESP
ESP recognizes critical driving conditions, such as panic reactions in dangerous
situations, and stabilizes the vehicle by wheel-individual braking and engine
control intervention.
ESP adds a further function known as Active Yaw Control (AYC) to the ABS, TCS,
EBD and ESP functions...

Engine oil pressure warning 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” section in chapter 9). If the level is low, add oil as required.
