NORMAL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE (DIESEL ENGINE)
The following maintenance services must be performed to ensure good emission control and performance. Keep receipts for all
vehicle emission services to protect your warranty. Where both mileage and time are shown, the frequency of service is deter-
mined by whichever occurs first.
*
1: Check the engine oil level and leak every 500 km (350
miles) or before starting a long trip.
*
2: The engine oil level should be checked regularly and main-
tained properly. Operating with an insufficient amount of oil
can damage the engine, and such damage is not covered
by warranty.
*
3: This maintenance schedule depends on fuel quality. It is
applicable only when using a qualified fuel <"EN590 or
equivalent">. If the diesel fuel specifications don't meet the
EN590, it must be replaced more frequently. If there are
some important safety matters like fuel flow restriction,
surging, loss of power, hard starting problem etc., replace
the fuel filter immediately regardless of maintenance sched-
ule and consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for details.
*
4 : This maintenance schedule depends on fuel quality. It is
applicable only when using a qualified fuel <"EN590 or
equivalent">. If the diesel fuel specifications don't meet the
EN590, it must be replaced more frequently. HYUNDAI rec-
ommends "every 7,500km inspection, every 15,000km
replacement". If there are some important safety matters like
fuel flow restriction, surging, loss of power, hard starting
problem etc., replace the fuel filter immediately regardless of
maintenance schedule and consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer for details.*
5: Manual transaxle should be changed anytime they have
been submerged in water.
*
6: 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.
*
7 : For your convenience, it can be replaced prior to it's interval
when you do maintenance of other items.
*
8: Inspect and if necessary correct or replace. Inspect drive
belt tensioner, idler and alternator pulley and if necessary
correct or replace.
