Vapour hose and fuel filler cap 
The vapour hose and fuel filler cap 
should be inspected at those intervals
specified in the maintenance schedule.
Make sure that a new vapour hose or fuelfiller cap is correctly 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 you use air cleaner 
filter for replacement from an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer. 
Spark plugs (for petrol engine) 
Make sure to install new spark plugs of 
the correct heat range. Cooling system 
Check the cooling system parts, 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 transaxle fluid  (if equipped) 
Inspect the manual transaxle fluid 
according to the maintenance schedule. 
Automatic transaxle fluid  (if equipped) 
Automatic transaxle fluid should not be 
checked under normal usage conditions. 
But in severe conditions, we recommend 
that the fluid be changed by an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer in accordance tothe scheduled maintenance at the begin-
ning of this chapter.
✽✽
NOTICE
Automatic transaxle fluid colour is basi- 
cally red. As the vehicle is driven, the automatic
transaxle fluid will begin to look darker.It is normal condition and you should
not judge the need to replace the fluid
based upon the changed colour.

Maintenance
Replace the filter according to the 
Maintenance Schedule.
If the vehicle is operated in extremelydusty or sandy areas, replace the ele-ment more often than the usual recom-
mended intervals. (Refer to “Maintenance under severe usage conditions” in thissection.)
CAUTION
 Do not drive with the air cleaner removed; this will result in exces-
sive engine wear.
 When removing the air cleaner fil- ter, be careful that dust or dirtdoes not enter the air intake, or
damage may result.
 We recommend that you use parts for replacement from anauthorised HYUNDAI dealer.Improper parts could damage the
air flow sensor, turbocharger or engine.

CLIMATE CONTROL AIR FILTER (IF EQUIPPED)
Filter inspection 
If the vehicle is operated in the severely air-polluted cities or on dusty rough
roads for a long period, it should beinspected more frequently and replaced
earlier. When you, the owner, replace the
climate control air filter, replace it per-
forming the following procedure, and be
careful to avoid damaging other compo-
nents. Replace the filter according to the main- 
tenance Schedule.
Filter replacement 
1. Open the glove box and remove thesupport strap (1). 2. With the glove box open, remove the
stoppers on both sides.

Driving your vehicle
ECONOMICAL OPERATION
Your vehicle's fuel economy depends 
mainly on your style of driving, where you
drive and when you drive. 
Each of these factors affects how many 
kilometers (miles) you can get from a
liter (gallon) of fuel. To operate your vehi-
cle as economically as possible, use the
following driving suggestions to help
save money in both fuel and repairs: 
 Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moder- ate rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts or full-throttle shifts and maintain a
steady cruising speed. Don't race
between stoplights. Try to adjust your
speed to the traffic so you don't have to
change speeds unnecessarily. Avoid
heavy traffic whenever possible.
Always maintain a safe distance from
other vehicles so you can avoid unnec-
essary braking. This also reduces
brake wear.
 Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your vehicle
uses. Driving at a moderate speed,
especially on the highway, is one of the
most effective ways to reduce fuel con-sumption.  Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal.
This can increase fuel consumption
and also increase wear on these com-
ponents. In addition, driving with your
foot resting on the brake pedal may
cause the brakes to overheat, which
reduces their effectiveness and may
lead to more serious consequences.
 Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pressure.
Incorrect inflation, either too much or
too little, results in unnecessary tire
wear. Check the tire pressures at leastonce a month.
 Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper alignment can
result from hitting curbs or driving too
fast over irregular surfaces. Poor align-
ment causes faster tire wear and may
also result in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption.  Keep your vehicle in good condition.
For better fuel economy and reduced
maintenance costs, maintain your vehi-cle in accordance with the mainte-
nance schedule in Section 7. If you
drive your vehicle in severe conditions,more frequent maintenance is required
(see Section 7 for details).
 Keep your vehicle clean. For maximum service, your vehicle should be kept
clean and free of corrosive materials. It
is especially important that mud, dirt,
ice, etc. not be allowed to accumulate
on the underside of the vehicle. This
extra weight can result in increased
fuel consumption and also contributeto corrosion.
 Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight in your vehicle. Weight reduces
fuel economy.
 Don't let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting (and not
in traffic), turn off your engine and
restart only when you're ready to go.
