Window glass
The window glass can normally be cleaned using only a sponge and wa- ter. Glass cleaner can be used to remove oil, grease, dead insects, etc. After washing the glass, wipe dry with aclean, dry, soft cloth.Never use the same cloth to wipe thewindow glass as would be used towipe the paintwork; wax from the painted surfaces could adhere to the glass and reduce its transparency andvisibility. F010H01P-GAT
Wiper blades
Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to remove grease, dead insects, etc., from the wiper blades. Replace thewiper blades when they no longer wipe properly. F010I01P-GAT
Chassis and underbody protec- tion
Your vehicle’s underbody has been
treated at the factory in order to pro- tect it from rust and corrosion. Some areas have been injected with anti-corrosion agents and wax. The effectiveness of these measures,
however, will be reduced by flyingstones, road chemicals, etc., as the vehicle is driven.
Have the underbody checked regularly
(autumn and spring) and have addi- tional protection treatment carried outas required. As not all of the commer- cially available materials are suitable for use on your vehicle, it is recom-mended that you have this work done at an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
When washing the vehicle, especially
in winter, spray the underbody withwater to remove dirt and dust which might contain salts, road chemicals,etc. F010K01P-GAT Upholstery and Interior To maintain the value of your new vehicle, handle the upholstery care- fully and keep the interior clean. Use a vacuum cleaner and brush to clean the seats. If stained, vinyl and synthetic leather should be cleanedwith an appropriate cleaner, and cloth fabrics can be cleaned with either up- holstery cleaner or a 3% solution ofneutral detergent in lukewarm water.Clean the carpeting with a vacuumcleaner and remove any stains withcarpet cleaner.Oil and grease can be removed bylightly dabbing with a clean colorfast cloth and benzene or spot remover.

F010L01P-GAT Damaged paint Small cracks and scratches in the paint coat should be touched up assoon as possible with HYUNDAI paint pencil or spray paint to prevent corro- sion. Check body areas facing theroad or the tires especially carefully for damage to the paint coat caused by flying stones, etc. The paint code num-ber for your vehicle can be found on the vehicle information code plate. F010M01P-GAT
Tar
If tar becomes adhered to the vehicle, use special tar remover to remove it as soon as possible. If the tar leaves a stain, polish the affected area. F010N01P-GAT
Plastic and rubber parts
Use a soft cloth and wash with water.
If necessary, a cleaning agent spe- cially designed for plastics can beused. If engine oil, brake fluid, battery fluid, etc., comes in contact with these parts, wash promptly with water andthen use alcohol to remove the stain completely. F010O01P-GAT
Load weight and driving speed
Remove any luggage, etc., which is not necessary from the vehicle. The load weight placed on the roof or towed in a trailer also should not be exces-sive.Correctly adjusting the air pressure ofthe tires before driving under maxi- mum load weight conditions and be- fore driving long distances is espe-cially important. F010Q01P-GAT
Kerb parking
If the tires strike a kerb or concrete parking barrier, they could be dam-aged, and this damage could become a source of extreme danger when the vehicle is subsequently driven at highspeed. If the vehicle is to be driven or onto a kerb or any other such barrier, it should be driven slowly and at anappropriate angle to the kerb or barrier.
F010J01P-GAT Engine compartment Clean the engine compartment at the beginning and end of winter. Pay particualr attention to flanges, crev- ices, and peripheral parts where dustcontaining road chemicals and other corrosive materials might collect. If salt and other chemicals are used on the roads in your area, clean the en- gine compartment at least every threemonths.

F010C01A-GAT
Specified Scheduled Procedures
These are the procedures such as
inspections, adjustments and replace- ments that are listed in the mainte-nance charts starting on page 6-4. These procedures must be performed at the intervals shown in the mainte-nance schedule to assure that your warranty remains in effect. Although it is strongly recommended that they beperformed by the factory-trained or distributor-trained technicians at your Hyundai dealer, these procedures maybe performed at any qualified service facility. F010D01P-AAT
General Checks
These are the regular checks you should perform when you drive your Hyundai or you fill the fuel tank. A list of these items will be found on page8-6.
F010A01A-GAT Service Requirements To assure that you receive the great- est number of kilometers of satisfying operation from your Hyundai, certain maintenance procedures must be per-formed. Although careful design and engineering have reduced these to a minimum, those that are required areof the utmost importance.It is your responsibility to have thesemaintenance procedures performed to comply with the terms of the warran- ties covering your new Hyundai. TheService Passport supplied with your new vehicle provides further informa- tion about these warranties.
F010B01A-AAT
Maintenance Requirements
The maintenance required for your
Hyundai can be divided into three main areas: o Specified scheduled procedures o General checks o Do-it-yourself maintenance It is suggested that genuine Hyundai
service parts be used for any requiredrepairs or replacements. Other parts of equivalent quality such as engine oil, engine coolant, manual or autotransaxle oil, brake fluid and so on which are not supplied by Hyundai Motor Company or its distributor maybe used without affecting your war- ranty coverage but you should always be sure these are equivalent to thequality of the original Hyundai parts. Your Service Passport provides fur- ther information about your warrantycoverage.

Do-It-Yourself Maintenance
If you are mechanically inclined, own a few tools that are required and want to take the time to do so, you can inspect and service a number of items. Formore information about doing it your- self, see Section 8. F010F01A-GAT
A Few Tips
Whenever you have your Hyundai ser- viced, keep copies of the service records in your glovebox. This will help ensure that you can document that therequired procedures have been per- formed to keep your warranties in ef- fect. This is especially important whenservice is not performed by an autho- rized Hyundai dealer. F020A03S-GAT Inspection should be performed any time a malfunction is experienced or suspected. Receipts for all emissioncontrol system services should be re- tained to demonstrate compliance with conditions of the emissions systemwarranty.For severe usage maintenance require-ments, see page 6-11 of this section.

DO-IT YOURSELF MAINTENANCE
7CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL
If you notice anything that does not
operate correctly or appear to be func- tioning correctly, inspect it carefully and seek assistance from your Hyundai dealer if service is needed.
Adequate care of your vehicle at regu-
lar intervals serves to preserve thevalue and appearance as long aspossible.
Some maintenance items can be car-
ried out by the owner (Consumer Information), while other should be done only by an authorized dealer(Periodic Inspection and Mainte- nance). This section describes only those items which can be carried outby the owner. In the event a malfunc- tion or other problem is discovered, have it corrected by an authorizedHYUNDAI dealer. This section con- tains information on inspection main- tenance procedures that you can doyourself, if you so desire. Follow the instructions and cautions for each of the various procedures. When checking or servicing the in-side of the engine compartment, besure the engine is stopped and has had a chance to cool down. If it is necessary to do work in the enginecompartment with the engine running, be especially careful that your cloth- ing, hair, etc., becomes not caught bythe fan, V-belts, or other moving parts.

Recommended Oil Gasoline Engine Engine oil is essential to the perfor-
mance and service of the engine. It is suggested that you check the oil level at least once a week in normal useand more often if you are on a trip or driving in severe conditions. G030B01JMThe engine oil quality should meet
the following classification.
API SJ, SL or ABOVE, ILSAC GF-3 or ABOVE NOTE:
o For good fuel economy, SAE 5W-20 (5W-30), ILSAC GF-3 en- gine oil is preferred regardlessof regional option and engine variation.
o If SAE 5W-20, ILSAC GF-3 en- gine oil is not available, second- ary recommended engine oil forcorresponding temperature range can be used.
(32°F) or below, SAE 30 oil must not be used. This oil should beused only in areas where the at- mospheric temperatures are 0°C(32°F) or above.
