EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
G050100AUN Engine oil and filter The 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. 
G050200AUN Drive belts 
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of 
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil satu-
ration and replace if necessary. Drive
belts should be checked periodically forproper tension and adjusted as neces-
sary. G050300ABH Fuel filter A clogged filter can limit the speed at 
which the vehicle may be driven, damage
the emission system and cause multiple
issues such as hard starting. If an exces-
sive amount of foreign matter accumu-
lates 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 an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
G050400ABH 
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and con- nections 
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and con- 
nections for leakage and damage. Have
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer replace
any damaged or leaking parts immedi-
ately.

G050600AUN 
Vapor hose and fuel filler cap 
The 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 iscorrectly replaced. 
G050700AUN 
Vacuum crankcase ventilation hoses (if equipped) 
Inspect 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 movingcomponent which might cause heat dam-
age 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.G050800AEN 
Air cleaner filter 
A Genuine HYUNDAI air cleaner filter is recommended when the filter isreplaced. 
G050900AUN Spark plugs 
Make sure to install new spark plugs of 
the correct heat range. G051000AEN 
Valve clearance 
Inspect excessive valve noise and/or 
engine vibration and adjust if necessary.
An authorized HYUNDAI dealer should
perform the operation. 
G051100AUN Cooling system 
Check cooling system components, such 
as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and
connections for leakage and damage.
Replace any damaged parts.
G051200AUN Coolant The coolant  should  be  changed at the 
intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule. G051300ABK 
Manual transmission  (if equipped) 
Inspect the manual transmission fluid 
according to the maintenance schedule. G051400ABK 
Automatic transmission fluid  (if equipped) 
Inspect the automatic transmission fluid 
according to the maintenance schedule. 
G051500AUN Brake hoses and lines 
Visually check for proper installation, 
chafing, cracks, deterioration and any
leakage. Replace any deteriorated or
damaged parts immediately.

G060200AEN Changing the engine oil and filter 
Have engine oil and filter changed by an 
authorized HYUNDAI dealer according tothe Maintenance Schedule at the begin-ning of this section. G070000AUN The high-pressure cooling system has a 
reservoir filled with year-round antifreeze
coolant. The reservoir is filled at the fac-
tory. 
Check the antifreeze protection and 
coolant level at least once a year, at thebeginning of the winter season, and
before traveling to a colder climate. G070100AEN 
Checking the coolant level     
WARNING
Used engine oil may cause irrita- tion 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
washing your hands thoroughlywith soap and warm water as soon
as possible after handling used oil.

WARNING - Removing
radiator cap
 Never attempt to remove the radi- ator cap while the engine is oper- 
ating or hot. Doing so might leadto cooling system and engine
damage and could result in seri-
ous personal injury from escap-ing hot coolant or steam.
(Continued)
(Continued) 
 Turn the engine off and wait untilit cools down. Use extreme care 
when removing the radiator cap.
Wrap a thick towel around it, and
turn it counterclockwise slowly to
the first stop. Step back while the
pressure is released from the
cooling system. When you aresure all the pressure has been
released, press down on the cap,
using a thick towel, and continue
turning counterclockwise to
remove it.
 Even if the engine is not operat- ing, do not remove the radiatorcap or the drain plug while the
engine and radiator are hot. Hot
coolant and steam may still blow
out under pressure, causing seri-
ous injury.

G070200AEN Changing the coolant 
Have coolant changed by an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer according to theMaintenance Schedule at the beginningof this section.
WARNING -  Radiator cap
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are
hot. Scalding hot coolant and
steam may blow out under pres-
sure causing serious injury.
CAUTION
Put a thick cloth around the radiator cap before refilling the coolant in order to prevent the coolant fromoverflowing into engine parts such
as the generator.
WARNING - Coolant
 Do not use radiator coolant or antifreeze in the washer fluid 
reservoir.
 Radiator coolant can severely obscure visibility when sprayed
on the windshield and may cause
loss of vehicle control or damage
to paint and body trim.
