Charging System Warning
Light
The charging system warning light should
come on when the ignition is turned on,
then go out when the engine is running.
If the light stays on while the engine is
running, there is a malfunction in the
electrical charging system. If the light
comes on while you are driving, have the
system checked by your Hyundai dealer
as soon as possble.
B260M01A-AAT
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
The low fuel level warning light comes on
when the fuel tank is approaching empty.
When it comes on, you should add fuel as
soon as possible. Driving with the fuel
level warning light on or with the fuel level
below "E" can cause the engine to misfire
and damage the catalytic converter.

tail gate is completely closed and latched.
B260O01MC-AAT
Check Fuel Filler Cap Warn-
ing Light
This warning light indicates the fuel filler
cap is not tight securely.
Always make sure that the fuel filler cap
is tight.
Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-di-
agonal braking systems. This means you
still have braking on two wheels even if
one of the dual systems should fail. With
only one of the dual systems working,
more than normal pedal travel and greater
pedal pressure are required to stop the
car. Also, the car will not stop in as short
a distance with only a portion of the brake
system working. If the brakes fail while
you are driving, shift to a lower gear for
additional engine braking and stop the
car as soon as it is safe to do so.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS2
MAINTENANCE INTERVALSF010B01A-AATMaintenance RequirementsThe maintenance required for your
Hyundai can be divided into three main
areas:
o Specified scheduled procedures
o General checks
o Do-it-yourself maintenanceF010A01A-AATService RequirementsTo ensure that you receive the greatest
number of miles of satisfying operation
from your Hyundai, certain maintenance
procedures must be performed. Although
careful design and engineering have re-
duced these to a minimum, those that are
required are of the utmost importance.
It is your responsibility to have these
maintenance procedures performed to
comply with the terms of the warranties
covering your new Hyundai. The Owner's
Handbook supplied with your new ve-
hicle provides further information about
these warranties.
F010D01A-AATGeneral ChecksThese are the regular checks you should
perform when you drive your Hyundai or
you fill the fuel tank. A list of these items
will be found on page 6-3.
F010C01A-AATSpecified Scheduled ProceduresThese are the procedures such as in-
spections, adjustments and replacements
that are listed in the maintenance charts
starting on page 5-4. These procedures
must be performed at the intervals shown
in the maintenance schedule to assure
that your warranty remains in effect. Al-
though it is strongly recommended that
they be performed by the factory-trained
or distributor-trained technicians at your
Hyundai dealer, these procedures may
be performed at any qualified service
facility.
It is suggested that genuine Hyundai
service parts be used for any required
repairs or replacements. Other parts of
equivalent quality such as engine oil,
engine coolant, manual or auto transaxle
oil, brake fluid and so on which are not
supplied by Hyundai Motor Company or
its distributor may be used without affect-
ing your warranty coverage but you should
always be sure these are equivalent to
the quality of the original Hyundai parts.
Your Owner's Handbook provides further
information about your warranty cover-
age.
F010E01A-AATDo-It-Yourself MaintenanceIf you are mechanically inclined, own a
few tools that are required and want to
take the time to do so, you can inspect
and service a number of items. For more
information about doing it yourself, see
Section 6.

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.)
