C190G03JM-AATCompliance Label
The compliance label is located on the
driver's side of the center pillar outer
panel.
The label shows the maximum allow-
able weight of the fully loaded vehicle.
This is called the GVWR (Gross Ve-
hicle Weight Rating). The GVWR in-
cludes the weight of the vehicle, all
occupants, fuel and cargo.
C190G01A
Refer to your vehicle’s tire and loading
information label for specific informa-
tion about your vehicle’s capacity
weight and seating positions. The com-
bined weight of the driver, passengers
and cargo should never exceed your
vehicle’s capacity weight.

EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE ITEMS
F060D01A-AATo Fuel Lines, Fuel Hoses and
ConnectionsCheck the fuel lines, fuel hoses and con-
nections for leakage and damage. Have
a trained techincian, replace any dam-
aged or leaking parts immediately.
F060C01A-AATo Fuel FilterA clogged filter can limit the speed at
which the vehicle may be driven, damage
the emission system and cause hard start-
ing. If an excessive amount of foreign
matter accumulates in the fuel tank, the
filter may require replacement more fre-
quently.
After installing a new filter, run the engine
for several minutes, and check for leaks
at the connections.
Fuel filters should be installed by trained
technicians.F060M01A-AATo Engine Oil and FilterThe 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 fre-
quent oil and filter changes are required.
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
correctly replaced.
F060F01A-AATo Vacuum, Crankcase Ventilation
HosesInspect the surface of hoses for evidence
of heat and/or mechanical damage. Hard
and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts,
abrasions, and excessive swelling indi-
cate deterioration. Particular attention
should be paid to examine those hose
surfaces nearest to high heat 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 moving com-
ponent which might cause heat damage
or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose
connections, such as clamps and cou-
plings, to make sure they are secure, and
that no leaks are present. Hoses should
be replaced immediately if there is any
evidence of deterioration or damage.
F060B01A-AATo Drive BeltsInspect 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 and adjusted as necessary.F060J01A-AATo Spark PlugsMake sure to install new spark plugs of
the correct heat range.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS2
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
CanisterFuel vapors generated inside the fuel
tank are absorbed and stored in the
onboard canister. When the engine is
running, the fuel vapors absorbed in the
canister are drawn into the induction sys-
tem through the purge control solenoid
valve.Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)The purge control solenoid valve is con-
trolled by the Engine Control Module
(ECM); when the engine coolant tem-
perature is low during idling, the PCSV
closes so that evaporated fuel is not taken
into the engine. After the engine warms-
up during ordinary driving, the PCSV
opens to introduce evaporated fuel to the
engine.
H010B01A-AAT1. Crankcase Emission Control
SystemThe positive crankcase ventilation sys-
tem is employed to prevent air pollution
caused by blow-by gases being emitted
from the crankcase. This system supplies
filtered fresh air to the crankcase through
the air intake hose. Inside the crankcase,
the fresh air mixes with blow-by gases,
then passes through the PCV valve into
the induction system.
H010A01A-AATYour Hyundai is equipped with an emis-
sion control system to meet all require-
ments of the U.S. Environmental Protec-
tion Agency or California Air Resources
Board.
There are three emission control systems
which are as follows.
1) Crankcase Emission Control System
2) Evaporative Emission Control System
3) Exhaust Emission Control System
In order to ensure the proper function of
the emission control systems, it is recom-
mended that you have your car inspected
and maintained by an authorized Hyundai
dealer in accordance with the mainte-
nance schedule in this manual.
H010D01A-AAT3. Exhaust Emission
Control SystemThe Exhaust Emission Control System is
a highly effective system which controls
exhaust emissions while maintaining
good vehicle performace.
H010C01S-AAT2. Evaporative Emission Control (In-
cluding ORVR: Onboard Refuel-
ing Vapor Recovery) SystemThe Evaporative Emission Control Sys-
tem is designed to prevent fuel vapors
from escaping into the atmosphere.
(The ORVR system is designed to allow
the vapors from the fuel tank to be loaded
into a canister while refueling at the gas
station, preventing the escape of fuel
vapors into the atmosphere.)

CONSUMER INFORMATION, REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS & BINDING ARBITRATION OF WARRANTY CLAIMS8
I030D01JM-AATTIRE TERMINOLOGY AND DEFINI-
TIONS
Air Pressure: The amount of air inside
the tire pressing outward on the tire.
Air pressure is expressed in pounds
per square inch (psi) or kilopascal (kPa).
Accessory Weight: This means the
combined weight of optional accesso-
ries. Some examples of optional ac-
cessories are, automatic transmission,
power seats, and air conditioning.
Aspect Ratio: The relationship of a
tire's height to its width.
Belt: A rubber coated layer of cords
that is located between the plies and
the tread. Cords may be made from
steel or other reinforcing materials.
Bead: The tire bead contains steel
wires wrapped by steel cords that hold
the tire onto the rim.
Bias Ply Tire: A pneumatic tire in
which the plies are laid at alternate
angles less than 90 degrees to the
centerline of the tread.Cold Tire Pressure: The amount of
air pressure in a tire, measured in
pounds per square inch (psi) or
kilopascals (kPa) before a tire has
built up heat from driving.
Curb Weight: This means the weight
of a motor vehicle with standard and
optional equipment including the maxi-
mum capacity of fuel, oil and coolant,
but without passengers and cargo.
DOT Markings: A code molded into
the sidewall of a tire signifying that the
tire is in compliance with the U.S.
Department of Transportation motor
vehicle safety standards. The DOT
code includes the Tire Identification
Number (TIN), an alphanumeric desig-
nator which can also identify the tire
manufacturer, production plant, brand
and date of production.
GVWR: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
GAWR FRT: Gross Axle Weight Rat-
ing for the front Axle.
GAWR RR: Gross Axle Weight Rating
for the rear axle. 6. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maxi-
mum load in kilograms and pounds
that can be carried by the tire. When
replacing the tires on the vehicle,
always use a tire that has the same
load rating as the factory installed
tire.
7. Uniform Tire Quality Grading
(UTQG):
Tire manufacturers are required to
grade tires based on three perfor-
mance factors: treadwear, traction
and temperature resistance. For
more information, see Uniform Tire
Quality Grading on page 8-15.
