Replace every 10,000 miles (15,000 km) or 12 months
Note :
*1. The drive belt should be replaced when cracks occur or tension is reduced excessively.
*2. For the first time, inspect the drive belt at 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 72 months.
After that, inspect it every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 24 months.
*3. When adding coolant, use only deionized water or soft water for your vehicle and never mix hard water in the coolant filled at the factory.
An improper coolant mixture can result in serious malfunction or engine damage.
*4. For the first time, replace the coolant at 120,000 miles (192,000 km) or 120 months.
After that, replace it every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.
*5. Inspect the tensioner/idler when timing belt is replaced.F030C2MC-AATR : Replace I : Inspect and, after inspection, clean, adjust, repair or replace if necessary

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS8
F070H01A-AATo Rear Brake Drums/Linings,
Parking BrakeCheck the rear brake drums and linings
for scoring, burning, leaking fluid, broken
parts, and excessive wear. Inspect the
parking brake system including the park-
ing brake lever and cables. For detailed
service procedures, refer to the Shop
Manual.F070F01A-AATo Brake Hoses and LinesVisually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and any
leakage. Replace any deteriorated or
damaged parts immediately.
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.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.
F070D01A-AATo Manual Transaxle OilInspect the manual transaxle oil accord-
ing to the maintenance schedule.
NOTE:
If the oil level is low, check for possible
leaks before adding oil. Do not overfill.F060E01A-AATo Timing BeltInspect all parts related to the timing belt
for damage and deformation. Replace
any damaged parts immediately.F070C01A-AATo CoolantThe coolant should be changed at the
intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule.

!
CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oil by
using a funnel. Do not overfill so as not
to damage engine.
!
WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the radia-
tor hose when adding the engine oil as
it may be hot enough to burn you.
G030D03MC-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 clock-
wise.
The distance between the "F" and "L"
marks is equal to about 1 quart of oil.
OMC059004
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 reclaimation. Do
not pour the oil on the ground or put
it into the household trash.
!
CALIFORNIA 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.

G120E02A-AATAdding Brake Fluid
WARNING:
Handle brake fluid carefully. It can dam-
age your vision if it gets into your eyes.
Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification
fluid from a sealed container. Do not
allow the fluid can or reservoir to re-
main open any longer than required.
This will avoid entry of dirt and moisture
which can damage the brake system
and cause improper operation.
To add brake fluid, first wipe away any
dirt, then unscrew the fluid reservoir cap.
Slowly pour the recommended fluid into
the reservoir. Do not overfill. Carefully
replace the cap on the reservoir and
tighten.
AIR CONDITIONER CAREG140A01A-AATKeeping the Condenser CleanThe air conditioner condenser (and en-
gine radiator) should be checked periodi-
cally for accumulation of dirt, dead in-
sects, leaves, etc. These can interfere
with maximum cooling efficiency. When
removing such accumulations, brush or
hose them away carefully to avoid bend-
ing the cooling fans.
Checking the amount of air condi-
tioner refrigerant and compressor
lubricantWhen the amount of refrigerant is low, the
performance of the air conditioning is
reduced. Overfilling also has a negative
impact on the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is found,
have the system inspected by an autho-
rized HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTE:
It is important when servicing the air
conditioning system that the correct
type and amount of oil and refrigerant is
used. Otherwise, damage to the com-
pressor and abnormal system opera-
tion may occur.
