NORMAL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE - EXCEPT EUROPE, FOR RUSSIA
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 determined by whichever occurs first. * 1
: Inspect and if necessary correct or replace.
* 2
: Check the engine oil level and leak every 500 km (350
miles) or before starting a long trip.
* 3
: Driving in summer season temperature over 40°C (104°F -
SAUDI, UAE, OMAN, KUWAIT, BAHRAIN, QATAR,
IRAN,YEMEN ETC) or driving over 170 km/h (106 MPH)
must conform the severe driving condition.
* 4
: If good quality gasoline that meet Europe Fuel standards
(EN228) or equivalents including fuel additives is not avail-
able, one bottle of additive is recommended. Additives are
available from your authorized HYUNDAI dealer along with
information on how to use them. Do not mix other additives.
* 5
: For your convenience, it can be replaced prior to it's interval
when you do maintenance of other items. *
6
: Fuel filter and fuel tank air filter are considered to be main-
tenance free but periodic inspection is recommended for this
maintenance schedule depends on fuel quality. If there are
some important matters like fuel flow restriction, surging,
loss of power, hard starting problem etc, replace the fuel fil-
ter immediately regardless of maintenance schedule and we
recommend that you consult an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er.
* 7
: 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 seri-
ous malfunction or engine damage.
* 8
: Rear differential oil should be changed anytime they have
been submerged in water.
* 9
: For your convenience, it can be replaced prior to it's interval
when you do maintenance of other items.
* 10
: Inspect for excessive valve noise and/or engine vibration
and adjust if necessary. We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
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. Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil satu-
ration and replace if necessary. 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. We recommend that
the fuel filter be replaced by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and con- nections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and con-
nections for leakage and damage. We
recommend that the fuel lines, fuel hoses
and connectionsr be replaced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.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.
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.

Air cleaner filter
We recommend that the air cleaner filter
be replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer. Spark plugs
Make sure to install new spark plugs of
the correct heat range.
Valve clearance
Inspect excessive valve noise and/or
engine vibration and adjust if necessary.
We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer. Cooling system
Check cooling system components, such
as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and
connections for leakage and damage.
Replace any damaged parts. Coolant The coolant should be changed at the
intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule.
Manual transmission fluid (if equipped)
Inspect the manual transmission fluid
according to the maintenance schedule.Automatic transmission fluid (if equipped)
Automatic transmission fluid should not
be checked under normal usage condi-
tions.
We recommend that the automatic trans-
mission fluid be replaced by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
The use of a non-specified fluid
could result in transmission mal-function and failure.
Use only specified manual trans-mission fluid. (Refer to “Recommended lubricants and
capacities” in section 8.)
