VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS8
F070F01A-AATo Brake Hoses and LinesVisually check for proper installation, chafing,
cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replace
any deteriorated or damaged parts immedi-
ately.F070E05A-AATo Automatic Transaxle FluidThe fluid level should be in the "HOT" range of
the dipstick, after the engine and transaxle are
at normal operating temperature. Check the
automatic transaxle fluid level with the engine
running and the transaxle in neutral, with the
parking brake properly applied. Use HYUNDAI
GENUINE ATF SP III, DIAMOND ATF SP III, SK
ATF SP III or other brands approved by Hyundai
Motor Co., when adding or changing fluid. Using
the wrong ATF may result in damage to the
ATM.
F070C01A-AATo CoolantThe coolant should be changed at the intervals
specified in the maintenance schedule.F060E01A-AATo Timing BeltInspect all parts related to the timing belt for
damage and deformation. Replace any dam-
aged parts immediately.F060J01A-AATo Spark PlugsMake sure to install new spark plugs of the
correct heat range.F060H01A-AATo Air Cleaner FilterA Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is recom-
mended when the filter is replaced.
F060G01A-AATo Vapor 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
vapor hose or fuel filler cap is correctly re-
placed.F065F01O-AATo Crankcase Ventilation HoseInspect the surface of hose for evidence of heat
and/or mechanical damage. Hard and brittle
rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and
excessive swelling indicate deterioration. Par-
ticular attention should be paid to examine that
hose surface nearest to high heat sources,
such as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure that the hose
does not come in contact with any heat source,
sharp edges or moving component which might
cause heat damage or mechanical wear. In-
spect all hose connections, such as clamps and
couplings, to make sure they are secure, and
that no leaks are present. Hose should be
replaced immediately if there is any evidence of
deterioration or damage.

F070L01A-AATo Suspension Mounting BoltsCheck the suspension connections for loose-
ness or damage. Retighten to the specified
torque.
F070G02A-AATo Brake FluidCheck brake fluid level in the brake fluid reser-
voir. The level should be between "MIN" and

F070K01A-AATo 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 or
replace parts as necessary.
F070J01A-AATo Brake Pads, Calipers and RotorsCheck the pads for excessive wear, discs for
run out and wear, and calipers for fluid leakage.F070H01B-AATo Rear Brake Pads and Linings/
Parking BrakeCheck the rear brake pads and linings for
scoring, burning, leaking fluid, broken parts,
and excessive wear. Inspect the parking brake
system including the parking brake lever and
cables. For detailed service procedures, refer
to the Shop Manual.
F070M01A-AATo Steering Gear Box, Linkage & Boots/
Lower Arm Ball JointWith 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 damaged
parts.
F070Q01A-AATo Air Conditioning RefrigerantCheck the air conditioning lines and connec-
tions for leakage and damage. Check air con-
ditioning performance according to the relevant
shop manual if necessary.F070P01A-AATo Driveshafts and BootsCheck the drive shafts, boots and clamps for
cracks, deterioration, or damage. Replace any
damaged parts and, if necessary, repack the
grease.F070N01A-AATo Power Steering Pump, Belt and HosesCheck the power steering pump and hoses for
leakage and damage. Replace any damaged or
leaking parts immediately. Inspect the power
steering belt for evidence of cuts, cracks, ex-
cessive wear, oiliness and proper tension.
Replace or adjust it if necessary.

The engine oil and filter should be changed at
those intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule in Section 5. If the car is being driven
in severe conditions, more frequent oil and filter
changes are required.
The procedure for changing the oil and filter is
as follows:
1. Park the car on level ground and set the
parking brake. Start the engine and let it
warm up until the needle on the coolant
temperature gauge moves above the lowest
mark. Turn the engine off and place the gear
selector lever in "P" (automatic) or reverse
gear (manual transaxle).
2. Open the hood and remove the engine oil
filler cap.
3. Slide underneath the car and loosen the
drain plug by turning it counterclockwise with
a wrench of the proper size. Be sure that a
drain pan is in position to catch the oil as it
drains out, then remove the drain plug.
WARNING:
Be very careful when draining the engine oil
as it may be hot enough to burn you!4. When the oil has stopped draining, replace
the drain plug using a new gasket and re-
tighten by turning it clockwise.
Oil pan drain plug tightening torque:
3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m
5. Remove the oil filter by turning it counter-
clockwise with a oil filter wrench of the proper
size. A certain amount of oil will come out
when you remove the filter. So be sure to
have your drain pan in place underneath it.
6. Install a new oil filter in accordance with the
instructions on the carton or on the filter itself.
Do not over-tighten. (Tightening torque :
1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m) Be sure that the mounting
surface on the engine is clean and that the
old gasket is removed completely. Lubricate
the new gasket on the filter with clean engine
oil before installation.
7. Remove the engine oil level dipstick.
8. Refill the crankcase with the recommended
engine oil. Refer to the specification in chap-
ter 9 for engine oil capacity.
!
CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oil using by
a funnel. Do not overfill! Engine damage
may occur if overfilled.
9. Start the engine and check to be sure no oil
is leaking from the drain plug or oil filter.
10.Shut off the engine and recheck the oil level.NOTE:Always dispose of used engine oil in an
environmentally acceptable manner. It is
suggested that it be placed in a sealed
container and taken to a service station for
reclamation. Do not pour the oil on the
ground or put it in with the household
trash.

2. Remove the transaxle dipstick, wipe it clean,
reinsert the dipstick as far as it will go, then
remove it again. Now check the fluid level on
the dipstick. It should be in the "HOT" range
on the dipstick.
!
G110D02O-AATTo Check the Transaxle Fluid LevelPark the car on level ground with the parking
brake engaged. When the transaxle fluid level
is checked, the transaxle fluid should be at
normal operating temperature and the engine
idling.
While the engine is idling, apply the brakes and
move the gear selector lever from "P" to each
of its other positions — "R", "N", "D" — and then
return to "N" or "P". With the engine still idling:
1. Open the hood, being careful to keep hands,
long hair and clothing clear of any moving
parts.
HSM3022 G110C01O-AAT
Transaxle Fluid CapacityThe fluid capacity of the automatic transaxle is
8.98 U.S. quarts (8.5 liters).
WARNING:
The transaxle fluid level should be checked
when the engine is at normal operating
temperature. This means that the engine,
radiator, exhaust system etc., are very hot
so you should exercise great care not to
burn yourself during this procedure.
