F060D01A-AATo Fuel Lines, Fuel Hoses and Con-
nectionsCheck the fuel lines, fuel hoses and con-
nections for leakage and damage. Have a
trained technician replace any damaged
or leaking parts immediately.F060B01NF-GATo 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 ten-
sion.
F060M01A-AATo Engine Oil and FilterThe engine oil and filter should be changed
at the intervals specified in the mainte-
nance schedule. If the car is being driven
in severe conditions, more frequent oil and
filter changes are required.F060C01A-AATo Fuel FilterA clogged filter can limit the speed at which
the vehicle may be driven, damage the
emission system and cause hard starting.
If an excessive amount of foreign matter
accumulates in the fuel tank, the filter may
require replacement more frequently.
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.
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 compo-
nent which might cause heat damage or
mechanical wear. Inspect all hose con-
nections, such as clamps and couplings,
to make sure they are secure, and that no
leaks are present. Hoses should be re-
placed immediately if there is any evi-
dence of deterioration or damage.

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

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

F070L01A-AATo Suspension Mounting BoltsCheck the suspension connections for
looseness or damage. Retighten to the
specified torque.F070K01A-AATo Exhaust Pipe and MufflerVisually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler
and hangers for cracks, deterioration, or
damage. Start the engine and listen care-
fully for any exhaust gas leakage. Tighten
connections or replace parts as neces-
sary.F070J01A-AATo Brake Pads, Calipers and RotorsCheck the pads for excessive wear, discs
for run out and wear, and calipers for fluid
leakage.
F070Q01A-AATo Air Conditioning RefrigerantCheck the air conditioning lines and con-
nections for leakage and damage. Check
air conditioning performance according to
the relevant shop manual if necessary.F070P01A-AATo Drive Shafts and BootsCheck the drive shafts, boots and clamps
for cracks, deterioration, or damage. Re-
place any damaged parts and, if neces-
sary, repack the grease.

HosesCheck the power steering pump and hoses
for leakage and damage. Replace any
damaged or leaking parts immediately.
Inspect the power steering belt for evi-
dence of cuts, cracks, excessive wear,
oiliness and proper tension. Replace or
adjust it if necessary.F070M01Y-AATo Steering Gear Box, Linkage &
Boots/Lower Arm Ball Joint, Up-
per Arm Ball JointWith the vehicle stopped and engine off,
check for excessive free-play in the steer-

G030C01JM-AATTo Check the Oil LevelBefore checking the oil, warm up the en-
gine to the normal operating temperature
and be sure your car is parked on level
ground. Turn the engine off.
Wait five minutes, then remove the dip-
stick, wipe it off, fully reinsert the dipstick
and withdraw it again. Then note the high-
est level the oil has reached on the dip-
stick. It should be between the upper ("F")
and lower ("L") range.

HTG5003-1
NOTE:o For good fuel economy, SAE 5W-20
(5W-30), ILSAC GF-3 engine oil is pre-
ferred regardless of regional option
and engine variation.
o If SAE 5W-20, ILSAC GF-3 engine oil is
not available, secondary recom-
mended engine oil for corresponding
temperature range can be used.
G030D02TG-AATAdding OilIf the oil level is close to or below the "L"
mark, add oil until it reaches the "F" mark.
To add oil:
1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning it
counterclockwise.
2. Add oil, then check the level again. Do
not overfill.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clockwise.
HTG5004-1
WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the radiator
hose when checking the engine oil as it
may be hot enough to burn you.

CAUTION:
o Operating your vehicle without using
a proper air cleaner filter in place can
result in excessive engine wear.
o When removing the air cleaner filter,
be careful that dust or dirt does not
enter the air intake. These may result
in damage to the air cleaner filter.

CHANGING THE AIR
CLEANER FILTERG070A03Y-AATThe replacement of the air cleaner filter is
performed in the following manner.
1. Unsnap the clips around the cover.
2. When this is done, the cover can be
lifted off, the old filter removed and the
new filter put in its place.
Genuine Hyundai replacement parts are
recommended.
HTG5013
WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADESG080A02A-AATThe wiper blades should be carefully in-
spected from time to time and cleaned to
remove accumulations of road film or other
debris. To clean the wiper blades and
arms, use a clean sponge or cloth with a
mild soap or detergent and water. If the
wipers continue to streak or smear the
glass, replace them with genuine Hyundai
replacement parts or their equivalent.
