5-2 XF040C1-E SCHEDULED MAINTENANCEIn order to ensure the continued safety, reliability and longevity of the
vehicle, the following maintenance service operations should be per- formed at the time or mileage intervals specified. It is recommended that all routine maintenance services are entrusted to
a Hyundai dealer to ensure that the manufacturers recommended proce-dures are employed and that only genuine Hyundai replacement parts areused. Incorrect maintenance techniques or the use of non genuinereplacement parts may invalidate the vehicle warranty.

F060A01A-AAT EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAIN-
TENANCE ITEMS
F060M01A-AAT
o Engine oil and filterThe engine oil and filter should be changed at
the intervals specified in the maintenance sched- ule. If the car is being driven in severe condi-tions, more frequent oil and filter changes arerequired.
F060B01A-AAT
o Drive belts Inspect all drive belts for evidence of cuts,
cracks, excessive wear or oil saturation and replace if necessary. Drive belts should be checked periodically for proper tension andadjusted as necessary.
F060C01A-AAT
o Fuel filterA clogged filter can limit the speed at which the
vehicle may be driven, damage the emission system and cause hard starting. If an exces-sive amount of foreign matter accumulates in
the fuel tank, the filter may require replacementmore frequently.
After installing a new filter, run the engine for
several minutes, and check for leaks at theconnections. F060D01A-AAT
o Fuel lines, fuel hoses and connec-
tions
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and connec-
tions for leakage and damage. Replace anydamaged or leaking parts immediately.
F060E01A-AAT
o Timing beltInspect all parts related to the timing belt for
damage and deformation. Replace any dam- aged parts immediately.
F060G01A-AAT
o Vapour hose and fuel filler capThe vapor hose and fuel filler cap should be
inspected at those intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. Make sure that a new
vapour hose or fuel filler cap is correctly re-placed.
F060F01A-AAT
o Vacuum, crankcase
ventilation hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evidence of
heat and/or mechanical damage. Hard andbrittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions,and excessive swelling indicate deterioration.Particular attention should be paid to examine
those hose surfaces nearest to high heat sourc-
es, such as the exhaust manifold. Inspect the hose routing to assure that the
hoses do not come in contact with any heatsource, sharp edges or moving component
which might cause heat damage or mechanicalwear. Inspect all hose connections, such as
clamps and couplings, to make sure they aresecure, and that no leaks are present. Hoses
should be replaced immediately if there is any
evidence of deterioration or damage.
F060H01A-AAT
o Air cleaner filter A Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is recom-
mended when filter is replaced.
F060J01A-AAT
o Spark plugsMake sure to install new spark plugs of the
correct heat range.
F060N01X-GAT
o Valve clearances Incorrect valve clearance will not only result in
unsteady engine operation, but will also cause excessive noise and reduced engine perfor-mance. Inspect valve clearance and adjust asrequired while the engine is hot.
Valve-to-rocker arm clearance Intake valves ..... 0.008 in. (0.2 mm)Exhaust valves .... 0.010 in. (0.25 mm)
VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
5-6 F070B01A-GAT
o Cooling SystemCheck the cooling system part, such as radia-
tor, coolant reservoir, hoses and connections for leakage and damage. Replace any dam-aged parts.
F070C01A-AAT
o Engine coolant The coolant should be changed at the intervals
specified in the maintenance schedule.
F070D01X-GAT
o Manual or semi-automatic transaxle
oil
Inspect the manual or semi-automatic transaxle
oil according to the maintenance schedule.
NOTE: If the oil level is low, check for possible
leaks before adding oil. Do not overfill.
F070E01X-AAT
o Automatic transaxle fluidThe fluid level should be in the “HOT” range of
the dipstick, after engine and transaxle are at
normal operating temperature. Check the Auto-matic Transaxle Fluid level with the engine
running and the transaxle in neutral, with theparking brake properly applied. Use ESSOJWS3314 when adding or changing fluid. F070F01A-AAT o Brake hoses and linesVisually check for proper installation, chafing, cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replaceany deteriorated or damaged parts immediate-ly. F070G02A-AAT
o Brake fluid Check brake fluid level in the brake fluid reser- voir. The level should be between "MIN" and"MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. Use only hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4. F070H01A-AAT
o Rear brake drums/linings, parking
brake
Check the rear brake drums and linings for
scoring, burning, leaking fluid, broken parts,and excessive wear. Inspect the parking brake
system including the parking brake lever andcables. For detailed service procedures, referto the Shop Manual. F070J01A-AAT
o Brake pads, calipers and rotorsCheck the pads for excessive wear, discs for run out and wear, and calipers for fluid leakage. F070K01A-AAT
o Exhaust pipe and mufflerVisually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler and hangers for cracks, deterioration, or damage.Start the engine and listen carefully for any
exhaust gas leakage. Tighten connections orreplace parts as necessary. F070L01A-AAT
o Suspension mounting bolts Check the suspension connections for loose- ness or damage. Retighten to the specifiedtorque. F070M01A-AAT
o Steering gear box, linkage & boots/
lower arm ball joint
With the vehicle stopped and engine off, check for excessive free-play in the steering wheel.Check the linkage for bends or damage. Check
the dust boots and ball joints for deterioration,cracks, or damage. Replace any damagedparts. F070N01A-AAT
o Power steering pump, belt and hos-
es
Check the power steering pump and hoses for leakage and damage. Replace any damagedor leaking parts immediately. Inspect the powersteering belt for evidence of cuts, cracks, ex-cessive wear, oiliness and proper tension.Replace or adjust it if necessary.

To Check the Oil Level
Before checking the oil, warm up the engine to
normal operating temperature and be sure it is parked on level ground. Turn the engine off.
Wait a minute, then remove the dipstick, wipe it
off, fully reinsert the dipstick and withdraw itagain. Then note the highest level the oil hasreached on the dipstick. It should be betweenthe upper ("F") and lower ("L") range. ZG030D1-A
Adding Oil
G030D01A
If the oil level is close to or below the "L" mark,
add oil until it reaches the "F" mark. To add oil:
1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning it coun- terclockwise.
2. Add oil, then check the level again. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clockwise.
The distance between the "F" and "L" marks is
equal to about 1 quart of oil. G350A01A-GAT
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION Function of Engine Oil
Engine oil has the primary function of lubricat-
ing and cooling the inside of the engine. Engine oil consumption
If is normal that an engine should consume
some engine oil while normal driving. The cause of oil consumption in a normal engine are asfollows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston rings and cylinders.
o A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall when a piston moves downwards in the cylinder. High negative pressure generatedduring engine operation sucks some of theoil into the combustion chamber. This oil with some oil of the cylinder wall is burned by the high temperature combustiongases during the combustion process.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly ef- fected by the viscosity and quality of oil,engine rpm and driving condition etc. The
engine oil is more consumed under severedriving conditions such as high speeds and
frequent acceleration and deceleration thannormal driving condition.
