CHECKING THE ENGINE OILG030B01O-AATRecommended OilThe engine oil quality should meet the
following classification.

MAINTENANCE PRECAU-
TIONS
!
G020D01TG-GATImproper or incomplete service may result
in problems. This section gives instruc-
tions only for the maintenance items that
are easy to perform.
Several procedures should be done by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.NOTE:Improper owner maintenance during the
warranty period may affect warranty
coverage.
WARNING:
o Performing maintenance work on a
vehicle can be dangerous. You can be
seriously injured while performing
some maintenance procedures. If you
lack sufficient knowledge and experi-
ence or the proper tools and equip-
ment to do the work, have it done by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Working under the hood with the en-
gine running is dangerous. It becomes
even more dangerous when you wear
jewelry or loose clothing. These can
become entangled in moving parts
and result in injury. Therefore, if you
must run the engine while working
under the hood, make certain that you
remove all jewelry (especially rings,
bracelets, watches, and necklaces)
and all neckties, scarves, and similar
loose clothing before getting near the
engine or cooling fans.

CHECKING AND CHANGING
THE ENGINE COOLANT!
G050A01TG-AAT
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the
engine coolant is under pressure and
may erupt through the opening if the cap
is removed. You could be seriously
burned if you do not observe this precau-
tion. Do not remove the radiator cap until
the radiator is cool to the touch.
!
NOTE:o It is recommended that the engine oil
and filter should be changed by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Always dispose of used engine oil in
an environmentally acceptable man-
ner. It is suggested that it be placed in
a sealed container and taken to a
service station for reclamation. Do
not pour the oil on the ground or put it
into the household trash.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
Engine oil contains chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects and reproductive harm.
Used engine oil may cause irritation or
cancer of the skin if left in contact with
the skin for prolonged periods of time.
Always protect your skin by washing
your hands thoroughly with soap and
warm water as soon as possible after
handling used oil.
!!
CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oil into a
funnel. Do not overfill to avoid damage to
the engine.
NOTE:It is recommended that the engine cool-
ant should be changed by an authorized
Hyundai dealer. The distance between the "F" and "L" marks
is equal to about 1 quart of oil.
G050A01TG

DIAMOND ATF SP III, SK ATF SP III or
other brands meeting the SP III specifi-
cation approved by Hyundai Motor Co..
If you are having your vehicle serviced
at a facility other than a Hyundai dealer,

your vehicle.
G110D03L-AATChecking the automatic transaxle
fluid levelThe automatic transaxle fluid level should
be checked regularly.
!
WARNING:
The transaxle fluid level should be
checked when the engine is at normal
operating temperature. This means that
the engine, radiator, radiator hose, ex-
haust system etc., are very hot. Exer-
cise great care not to burn yourself dur-
ing this procedure.
HTG5012
Keep the vehicle on the level ground with
the parking brake applied and check the
fluid level according to the following pro-
cedure.
1. Place the selector lever in N (Neutral)
position and confirm the engine is run-
ning at normal idle speed.
2. After the transaxle is warmed up suffi-
ciently (fluid temperature 70~80°C
(158~176°F)), for example by 10 min-
utes usual driving, shift the selector
lever through all positions then place
the selector lever in N (Neutral) or P
(Park) position.

WARNING:
To reduce the chance or serious or
fatal injuries from an accident caused
by tire failure or loss of vehicle control:
o Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged.
Worn tires can cause loss of brak-
ing effectiveness, steering con-
trol, and traction.
o Do not drive your vehicle with too
little or too much pressure in your
tires. This can lead to uneven
wear and tire failure.
o When replacing tires, never mix
radial and bias-ply tires on the
same car. You must replace all
tires (including the spare) if mov-
ing from radial to bias-ply tires.
o Using tires and wheel other than
the recommended sizes could
cause unusual handling charac-
teristics and poor vehicle control,
resulting in a serious accident.o Wheels that do not meet Hyundai's
specifications may fit poorly and
result in damage to the vehicle or
unusual handling and poor ve-
hicle control.
o Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used. Regard-
less of the remaining tread, it is
recommended that tires tread, It is
recommended that tires generally
be replaced after 6 years of normal
service. Heat caused by hot cli-
mates or frequent high loading
conditions can accelerate the ag-
ing process. Failure to follow this
Warning can result in sudden tire
failure, which could lead to a loss
of control and an accident involv-
ing serious injury or death.WARNING:
o The ABS works by comparing the
speed of the wheels. Tire size can
affect wheel speed. When replac-
ing tires, all 4 tires must use the
same size originally supplied with
the vehicle. Using tires of a differ-
ent size can cause the ABS (Anti-
lock Brake System) and ESC (Elec-
tronic Stability Control) (If In-
stalled) to work irregularly.
