VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS8
F070D01A-AATo Manual Transaxle OilInspect the manual transaxle oil according
to the maintenance schedule.NOTE:If the oil level is low, check for possible
leaks before adding oil. Do not overfill.
F070C01A-AATo CoolantThe coolant should be changed at the
intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule.F060E01A-AATo Timing BeltInspect all parts related to the timing belt for
damage and deformation. Replace any
damaged parts immediately.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.F065F01O-AATo Crankcase Ventilation HoseInspect the surface of hose 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 that hose sur-
face nearest to high heat sources, such as
the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure that the
hose does 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 con-
nections, such as clamps and couplings,
to make sure they are secure, and that no
leaks are present. Hose should be re-
placed immediately if there is any evi-
dence of deterioration or damage.
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
Co. when adding or changing fluid. Using
the wrong ATF may result in damage to the
ATM.

F070L01A-AATo Suspension Mounting BoltsCheck the suspension connections for
looseness or damage. Retighten to the
specified torque.
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.
F070K01A-AATo Exhaust Pipe and MufflerVisually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler
and
hangers for cracks, deterioration, or dam-
age. Start the engine and listen carefully
for any exhaust gas leakage. Tighten con-
nections or replace parts as necessary.
F070J01A-AATo Brake Pads, Calipers and RotorsCheck the pads for excessive wear, discs
for run out and wear, and calipers for fluid
leakage.F070H01O-AATo Rear Brake Discs and Linings/
Parking BrakeCheck the rear brake discs and linings for
scoring, burning, leaking fluid, broken parts,
and excessive wear. Inspect the parking
brake system including the parking brake
lever and cables. For detailed service pro-
cedures, refer to the Shop Manual.
F070M01A-AATo Steering Gear Box, Linkage &
Boots/Lower Arm Ball JointWith the vehicle stopped and engine off,
check for excessive free-play in the steer-
ing wheel.
Check the linkage for bends or damage.
Check the dust boots and ball joints for
deterioration, cracks, or damage. Replace
any damaged parts.
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 Driveshafts 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.F070N01A-AATo Power Steering Pump, Belt and
HosesCheck the power steering pump and hoses
for leakage and damage. Replace any
damaged or leaking parts immediately.

G140D02A-AATChecking the Compressor Drive Belt
G140C01A-AATLubricationTo lubricate the compressor and the seals
in the system, the air conditioning should
be run for at least 10 minutes each week.
This is particularly important during cool
weather when the air conditioning system
is not otherwise in use.
When the air conditioning is being used
regularly, the compressor drive belt ten-
sion should be checked at least once a
month with the engine turned off.
To check the drive belt tension, press down
on the belt halfway between the engine
crankshaft and compressor pulleys. Press-
ing with your finger, you should not be able
to deflect this belt anymore than 1/3 of an
inch. If the belt is too loose, have it adjusted
by your Hyundai dealer.
CHANGING THE CLIMATE CON-
TROL AIR FILTERB145A03JM-GAT(For Evaporator and Blower Unit)
(If Installed)The climate control air filter is located in
front of the evaporator unit behind the
glove box.
It helps to decrease the amount of pollut-
ants entering the car.
1. Open the glove box and remove the
support strap through the hole.

CHECKING DRIVE BELTSDrive belts should be checked periodi-
cally for proper tension and adjusted if
necessary. At the same time, belts should
be examined for cracks, wear, fraying or
other evidence of deterioration and re-
placed if necessary.
Belt routing should also be checked to be
sure there is no interference between the
belts and other parts of the engine. After a
belt is replaced, the new belt should be
adjusted again after two or three weeks to
eliminate slack resulting from initial stretch-
ing after use.G190A01A-AAT

CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL
CLEARANCEG180A01A-AATYou need a helper to check the brake
pedal clearance. With the engine running,
have your helper press down on the brake
pedal several times and then hold it down
with a force of about 110 lbs (50 kg, 490 N).
The brake pedal clearance is the distance
from the top surface of the brake pedal to
the asphalt sheeting under the floor mat.
If the brake pedal clearance is not within
the limits specified in the illustration, have
it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and
adjusted or repaired if necessary.
2.95 in. (75 mm)
G170A01A-AATBRAKE PEDAL FREE PLAYWith the engine off, press down on the
brake pedal several times to reduce the
vacuum in the brake booster.
Then, using your hand, press down slowly
on the brake pedal until you feel a change
in resistance. This is the brake pedal free-
play.
The free-play should be within the limits
specified in the illustration above. If it is not,
have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer
and adjusted or repaired if necessary.

o Four numbers represent the week
and year the tire was built. For
example, the numbers 3105 means
the 31st week of 2005.
4. Tire ply composition and material
The number of layers or plies of
rubbercoated fabric in the tire. Tire
manufacturers also must indicate
the materials in the tire, which in-
clude steel, nylon, polyester, and
others. The letter "R" means radial
ply construction; the letter "D" means
diagonal or bias ply construction;
and the letter "B" means belted-bias
ply construction.
5. Maximum permissible inflation
pressure
This number is the greatest amount
of air pressure that should be put in
the tire. Do not exceed the maximum
permissible inflation pressure. Refer
to the Tire and Loading Information
label for recommended inflation pres-
sure.
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. 6. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maximum
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 Qual-
ity Grading on page 8-14.
