F060B01A-EAT
o Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil contamination and replace if neces-sary. Drive belts should be checked periodically for proper tension and ad- justed as necessary. F060C01A-AAT
o Fuel filter
A clogged filter can limit the speed at
which the vehicle may be driven, dam- age the emission system and cause hard starting. If an excessive amountof foreign matter accumulates in the fuel tank, the filter may require re- placement more frequently. After installing a new filter, run the
engine for several minutes, and checkfor leaks at the connections. Fuel fil- ters should be installed by trained technicians.
F060D01TB-EAT
o Fuel lines, fuel hoses and con- nections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and damage. Have a trained technician replace anydamaged or leaking parts immediately. WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system withengine running or within 30 sec-onds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes are subject tohigh pressure even after the engine stopped. The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may cause serious injury,if it contacts the body. People using pacemakers should ensure that they keep a distance of 30cm from theECU or wiring harness within the engine room while engine is run- ning, since the high currents in theCommon Rail system produce con- siderable magnetic fields.
EXPLANATION OF SCHED- ULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
F060M01A-AAT
o Engine oil and filter
The engine oil and filter should be
changed at the intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. If the car is being driven in severe conditions,more frequent oil and filter changes are required.

F060E01A-AAT
o Timing belt Inspect all parts related to the timing belt for damage and deformation. Replace any damaged parts immedi- ately. F060G01A-EAT
o Vapour hose and fuel filler cap The vapour hose and fuel filler cap should be inspected at those intervals specified in the maintenance sched-ule. Make sure that a new vapour hose or fuel filler cap is correctly replaced. F060F02A-AAT
o Crankcase ventilation hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi-
dence of heat and/or mechanical dam-age. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessiveswelling indicate deterioration. Particu- lar attention should be paid to examine those hose surfaces nearest to highheat sources, such as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure that
the hoses do not come in contact with any heat source, sharp edges or mov-ing component which might cause heat damage or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose connections, such as clampsand couplings, to make sure they are secure, and that no leaks are present. Hoses should be replaced immedi-ately if there is any evidence of dete- rioration or damage. F060H01A-AAT
o Air cleaner filter
A Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is
recommended when the filter is re-placed.
F060J01A-EAT
o Spark plugs (For petrol engine)
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range. F070B01A-AAT
o Cooling system
Check the cooling system, such as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses andconnections for leakage and damage. Replace any damaged parts.

F070C01A-AAT
o Coolant
The coolant should be changed at
the intervals specified in the mainte- nance schedule. F070D01HP-AAT
o Manual transmission oil
Inspect the manual transmission oil according to the maintenance sched- ule.
NOTE: If the oil level is low, check forpossible leaks before adding oil. Do not overfill. F070E03HP-GAT
o Automatic transmission fluid
The fluid level should be in the "HOT"
range of the dipstick, after engine andtransmission and filter are at normal operating temperature. Check the Au-tomatic and filter Transmission and filter Fluid level with the engine running and the transmission and filter inneutral, with the parking brake properly applied. Use MOBIL DEXRON-II when adding or changing fluid. Refer to the chapter6. F070F01A-AAT
o Brake hoses and lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts immediately. F070G02A-AAT o Brake fluid Check brake fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir. The level should be between "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. Use onlyhydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4. F070H01HP-AAT
o Rear brake linings, pad and parking brake Check the rear brake linings and pads for scoring, burning, leaking fluid, bro-ken parts, and excessive wear. In- spect the parking brake system in- cluding the parking brake lever andcables. For detailed service proce- dures, refer to the Shop Manual.

F070J01A-AAT
o Brake pads, calipers and rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear, discs for run out and wear, and cali- pers for fluid leakage. F070K01A-EAT o Exhaust pipe and sliencer Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, sliencer and hangers for cracks, dete- rioration, or damage. Start the engineand listen carefully for any exhaust gas leakage. Tighten connections or replace parts as necessary. F070L01A-AAT
o Suspension mounting bolts
Check the suspension connections for
looseness or damage. Retighten to the specified torque.
F070M01B-AAT
o Steering gear box, linkage & boots/lower arm ball joint, upper 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 dam-
age. Check the dust boots and ball joints for deterioration, cracks, or dam- age. Replace any damaged parts. F070N01A-AAT
o Power steering pump, belt and hoses
Check the power steering pump and
hoses for leakage and damage. Re- place any damaged or leaking parts immediately. Inspect the power steer-ing belt for evidence of cuts, cracks, excessive wear, oil contamination and proper tension. Replace or adjust it ifnecessary.
F070P01HP-AAT
o Drive shafts and boots
Check the drive shafts, boots and
clamps for cracks, deterioration, ordamage. Replace any damaged partsand, if necessary, repack the grease.
F070Q01A-AAT
o Air conditioning refrigerant
Check the air conditioning lines and
connections for leakage and damage. Check air conditioning performance ac- cording to the relevant shop manual ifnecessary.

4DAILY OPERATING CHECKS
SG020B1-E The following items should be checked on a daily basis or whenever the vehicle is refuelled, whichever occurssooner.
o Engine oil level.
o Coolant level.
o Power steering fluid level.
o Brake fluid level.
o Windscreen washer fluid level.
o Battery condition.
o Tyre condition and pressures.
o Operation and cleanliness of all lighting equipment.
o Windscreen wiper and washer op-
eration.
o Horn operation.
o Warning light operation.
o Adjustment and cleanliness of mir- rors.
o Seat and seat belt adjustment and operation.
o Fluid leakage. The vehicle must not be driven if the daily operating checks indicate that any item of equipment related to the safety or roadworthiness of the ve-hicle is not functioning correctly.ENGINE OIL
G030A01FC-EAT The correct engine oil level is of para-
mount importance. An excessively high or low oil level may result inirreparable damage being sustained by the engine. The engine oil level must be checked on a daily basis,whenever the vehicle is refuelled or before starting a long trip, whichever occurs sooner.
In addition, it is imperative that only
an approved grade and specificationof oil is used to avoid the possibility ofserious engine damage and prema- ture wear. The use of "budget price" oil is a false economy that must beavoided if the maximum reliability and useful life is to be obtained from the vehicle.MAINTENANCE PRECAU- TIONS
G020D01TG-EAT Improper or incomplete service may
result in problems. This section gives instructions only for the maintenanceitems that are easy to perform.
Several procedures should be done by
Hyundai authorised repairer.
NOTE: Improper owner maintenance dur-
ing the warranty period may affect warranty coverage.
