VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS8
F070G02A-AATo Brake FluidCheck brake fluid level in the brake fluid
reservoir. 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.F070F01A-AATo Brake Hoses and LinesVisually check for proper installation, chaf-
ing, cracks, deterioration and any leak-
age. Replace any deteriorated or dam-
aged parts immediately.
F070E06A-AATo Automatic Transaxle FluidThe fluid level should be in the “HOT”
range of the dipstick, after the engine and
transaxle are at normal operating tem-
perature. Check the automatic transaxle
fluid level with the engine running and the
transaxle in neutral, with the parking brake
properly applied. Use HYUNDAI GENU-
INE ATF SP III, DIAMOND ATF SP III, SK
ATF SP III or other brands meeting the SP
III specification 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.
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
recommended 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 cor-
rectly replaced.F060N02E-AATo Valve ClearanceInspect excessive valve noise and/or en-
gine vibration and adjust if necessary. A
qualified technician should perform the
operation.
F070H01TG-AATo Rear Disc Brake /
Linings, Parking BrakeCheck the rear disc brake and linings for
scoring, burning, leaking fluid, broken parts,
and excessive wear. Inspect the parking
brake system including the parking brake
pedal and cables. For detailed service
procedures, refer to the Shop Manual.

CHECKING THE ENGINE OILG030B01O-AATRecommended OilThe engine oil quality should meet the
following classification.
API SJ, SL or ABOVE,
ILSAC GF-3 or ABOVE
G030B01JM-U G030A01A-AAT
Engine oil is essential to the performance
and service of the engine. It is suggested
that you check the oil level at least once a
week in normal use and more often if you
are on a trip or driving in severe conditions.
MAINTENANCE PRECAU-
TIONS
!
G020D01TG-GATImproper or incomplete service may result
in problems. This section gives instruc-
tions only for the maintenance items that
are easy to perform.
Several procedures should be done by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.NOTE:Improper owner maintenance during the
warranty period may affect warranty
coverage.
WARNING:
o Performing maintenance work on a
vehicle can be dangerous. You can be
seriously injured while performing
some maintenance procedures. If you
lack sufficient knowledge and experi-
ence or the proper tools and equip-
ment to do the work, have it done by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Working under the hood with the en-
gine running is dangerous. It becomes
even more dangerous when you wear
jewelry or loose clothing. These can
become entangled in moving parts
and result in injury. Therefore, if you
must run the engine while working
under the hood, make certain that you
remove all jewelry (especially rings,
bracelets, watches, and necklaces)
and all neckties, scarves, and similar
loose clothing before getting near the
engine or cooling fans.

CHECKING AND CHANGING
THE ENGINE COOLANT!
G050A01TG-AAT
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the
engine coolant is under pressure and
may erupt through the opening if the cap
is removed. You could be seriously
burned if you do not observe this precau-
tion. Do not remove the radiator cap until
the radiator is cool to the touch.
!
NOTE:o It is recommended that the engine oil
and filter should be changed by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Always dispose of used engine oil in
an environmentally acceptable man-
ner. 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
into the household trash.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
This product contains a chemical known
to the State of California to cause can-
cer. Used engine oil may cause irritation
or cancer of the skin if left in contact with
the skin for prolonged periods of time.
Used engine oil contains chemicals that
have caused cancer in laboratory ani-
mals. Always protect your skin by wash-
ing your hands thoroughly with soap and
warm water as soon as possible after
handling used oil.
!!
CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oil into a
funnel. Do not overfill to avoid damage to
the engine.
WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the radiator
hose when adding the engine oil as it may
be hot enough to burn you.
NOTE:It is recommended that the engine cool-
ant should be changed by an authorized
Hyundai dealer. 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.

G110B05A-AATRecommended Fluid
Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is spe-
cially designed to operate with HYUNDAI
GENUINE ATF SP III, DIAMOND ATF SP III,
SK ATF SP III or other brands meeting the
SP III specification approved by Hyundai
Motor Co.. Damage caused by a
nonspecified fluid is not covered by your
new vehicle limited warranty.
CAUTION:
Use of aftermarket ATF additives may
cause damage to the automatic
transaxle.
Only use HYUNDAI GENUINE ATF SP III,
DIAMOND ATF SP III, SK ATF SP III or
other brands meeting the SP III specifi-
cation approved by Hyundai Motor Co..
If you are having your vehicle serviced
at a facility other than a Hyundai dealer,
verify that the correct ATF is used for
your vehicle.
G110D02O-AATTo Check the Transaxle Fluid LevelPark the car on level ground with the park-
ing brake engaged. When the transaxle
fluid level is checked, the transaxle fluid
should be at normal operating tempera-
ture 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.
!
G110C01TG-AATTransaxle Fluid CapacityThe fluid capacity of the automatic
transaxle is 11.52 U.S. quarts (10.9 liters).
WARNING:
The transaxle fluid level should be
checked when the engine is at normal
operating temperature. This means that
the engine, radiator, radiator hose, ex-
haust system etc., are very hot. Exer-
cise great care not to burn yourself dur-
ing this procedure.

CONSUMER INFORMATION, REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS & BINDING ARBITRATION OF WARRANTY CLAIMS

Traction AA, A, B, C - The traction
grades, from highest to lowest, are AA,
A, B, and C. Those grades represent
the tire's ability to stop on wet pave-
ment as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor traction per-
formance.
!
WARNING:
The traction grade assigned to this
tire is based on straight-ahead brak-
ing traction tests, and does not in-
clude acceleration, cornering, hy-
droplaning, or peak traction charac-
teristics.
I130B04A-AATTire Quality Grading
Department of Transportation quality
grades - All passenger vehicle tires
must conform to Federal Safety Stan-
dards in addition to these grades. These
quality grades are molded on the
sidewall.
Treadwear - The treadwear grade is a
comparative rating based on the wear
rate of the tire when tested under con-
trolled conditions on a specified gov-
ernment test course. For example, a
tire graded 150 would wear one and a
half (1 - 1/2) times as well on the
government course as a tire graded
100. The relative performance of tires
depends upon the actual conditions of
their use, however, and may depart
significantly from the norm due to varia-
tions in driving habits, service prac-
tices and differences in road character-
istics and climate.
