YF010A2-E In order to ensure continued reliability, safety and longevity, regular maintenance performed at the intervals specified is essential. The maintenance intervals specified are based both on time elapsed and mileage covered since the previous maintenance service was performed. However, under severe operating conditions, certain scheduled operations should beperformed at shorter intervals.Regular maintenance should be entrusted to a Hyundai authorised repairer who is best able to provide the expertise requiredto ensure optimum operational performance.In addition the use of Hyundai replacement parts and service consumables will ensure that the original build quality,operational performance and safety are maintained.

6ZF070F1-A o Brake hoses and lines Visually check for proper installation, chafing, cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts immediately. A6ZF070G2-A
o Brake fluid & Clutch 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.
6ZF070H1-A
o Rear brake drums and linings/
parking brake
Check the rear brake drums and lin-
ings for scoring, burning, leaking fluid,broken parts, and excessive wear. In- spect the parking brake system in-cluding the parking brake lever and cables. For detailed service proce- dures, refer to the Shop Manual. 6ZF070J1-A
o Brake pads, calipers and ro-
tors
Check the pads for excessive wear,
discs for run out and wear, and cali- pers for fluid leakage.
6ZF070K1-E
o Exhaust pipe and silencer
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes,
silencer and hangers for cracks, dete-rioration, or damage. Start the engine and listen carefully for any exhaustgas leakage. Tighten connections or replace parts as necessary.
6ZF070L1-A
o Suspension mounting bolts
Check the suspension connections for
looseness or damage. Retighten to the specified torque.
F070E05A-EAT
o Automatic Transaxle Fluid
The fluid level should be in the "HOT"range of the dipstick, after the engine and transaxle are at normal operating temperature. Check the automatictransaxle fluid level with the engine running and the transaxle in neutral, with the parking brake properly ap-plied. Use Hyundai Genuine ATF SP- III, DIAMOND ATF SP-III, SK ATF SP-III or other brands approved byHyundai Motor Co., when adding or changing fluid. Refer to the chapter 6.

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 byHyundai authorised repairer. NOTE: Improper owner maintenance dur- ing the warranty period may affectwarranty coverage.
WARNING:
o Performing maintenance work on a vehicle can be dangerous. You can be seriously injured whilst performing some maintenanceprocedures. If you lack sufficient knowledge and experience or the proper tools and equipment to dothe work, have it done by Hyundai authorised repairer.
o Working under the bonnet with the engine running is dangerous. It becomes even more dangerouswhen you wear jewellery or loose clothing. These can become en- tangled in moving parts and re-sult in injury. Therefore, if you must run the engine whilst work- ing under the bonnet, make cer-tain that you remove all jewellery (especially rings, bracelets, watches, and necklaces) and allneckties, scarves, and similar loose clothing before getting near the engine or cooling fans.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
3CATALYTIC CONVERTOR
SH020A1-E (Not all models) Hyundai Coupe models are fitted with catalytic convertors which require spe- cial operating considerations. The cata-lytic convertor serves to oxidize cer- tain noxious elements of the exhaust gases leaving the engine to reduce thelevel of pollutants emitted from the vehicle and, provided that care is ex- ercised to prevent damage, the cata-lyst will operate efficiently for the life of the vehicle. It is of the utmost importance that the following information is read and un- derstood by the vehicle operator in order to prevent operational problemsarising from damage to the catalyst. Damage to the catalyst will result ifcontamination occurs through the useof leaded fuel. Whilst the vehicle is fitted with a reduced diameter filler neck to prevent charging of the fueltank with a leaded fuel pump nozzle, it is possible that the use of funnels or fuel cans will permit leaded fuel to beintroduced into the fuel tank.The catalyst is intolerant of unburntfuel and therefore if an engine misfirecondition exists, damage to the cata- lyst will occur. It is imperative that if a misfire condition develops, the ve-hicle is immediately presented to a Hyundai authorised repairer for rectifi- cation. Similarly, the practice of cer-tain ignition system diagnosis proce- dures which involve inducing a misfire (cylinder power balance tests for ex-ample) may result in catalyst damage.For these reasons, it is advisable thatthe exhaust gas emission be tested at each routine service with a gas analyzer having a Hydrocarbon mea-suring facility to ensure continued re- liability of the catalyst.
Catalytic Converter
OGK076501 Push or tow starting of the vehicle is to be avoided since unburnt fuel mayenter the catalyst and result in dam- age. (Note, it is impossible to push or tow start a Hyundai model equippedwith fuel injection since the fuel pump safety interlock will prevent the pump from operating under these conditions). Operation of the catalyst involves ex- tremely high temperatures being at- tained within the catalytic convertor,and although the convertor is fitted with heat shields, it is important that the vehicle is not parked over combus-tible or volatile material which may result in fire. If the above precautions are not ad- hered to and the catalyst becomes inoperative, the resultant increase incore temperature will result in a "melt down" where the catalyst core will melt and subsequently may block theexhaust system.Due to the fragile nature of the cata-lyst element, it is important that dam-age does not occur when the vehicle is raised by means of a garage jack. Care must also be exercised to avoiddriving over road hazards or debris which may cause damage to the cata- lyst element.

SI060B3-E
TYRE REPLACEMENT
Tyres must be replaced when the wear
indicators appear as a solid bar across the tyre tread. At this point, the re- maining tread depth will be approxi-mately 0.06 in. (1.6 mm). In addition to this, the tyre must be replaced if any portion of the tread has become baldor if there are any lumps, bulges or deep cuts in the sidewalls or tread.
Replacement tyres must be of the
recommended size and rating and should be of the same manufactureand tread pattern on each axle. HGK5015
0.06 in. (1.6 mm )
Wear indicator
SI060A2-E TYRE BALANCING Incorrect tyre balance will cause steer- ing vibration and uneven tyre wear. The vehicle tyres are balanced during production but may need further bal-ancing throughout the life of the tyres.It is recommended that the tyres bebalanced on the car for best results and that the tyres are balanced when- ever they have been removed from thewheel for repair. NOTE: Should abnormal wear be noted on a tyre, then it is recommended that the wheel alignment be checked byyour Hyundai authorised repairer at the earliest opportunity.
!WARNING:
o Tyres degrade over time, even when they are not being used. Regardless of the remaining tread,it is recommended that tyres gen- erally be replaced after six (6) years of normal service. Heatcaused by hot climates or fre- quent high loading conditions can accelerate the aging process.Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tyre failure, which could lead to a loss of controland an accident involving seri- ous injury or death.
o The ABS works by comparing the speed of the wheels. Tire size canaffect wheel speed. When replac- ing tires, all 4 tires must use thesame size originally supplied with the vehicle. Using tires of a differ- ent size can cause the ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) and ESP(Electronic Stability Program) to work irregularly.
