NORMAL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE  
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 or before
starting a long trip.
* 2
: The engine oil level should be checked regularly and main-
tained properly. Operating with an insufficient amount oil 
can damage the engine, and such damage is not covered
by warranty.
* 3
: Inspect and if necessary correct or replace. Inspect drive
belt tensioner, idler and alternator, pulley and if necessary
correct or replace.
* 4
: The fuel filter is considered to be maintenance free but peri-
odic inspection is recommended for this maintenance
schedule depends on fuel quality. If there are some impor-
tant matters like fuel flow restriction, surging, loss of power,
hard starting problem etc, replace the fuel filter immediately
regardless of maintenance schedule. We recommend that
you consult an authorised HYUNDAI dealer for details.
* 5
: 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 15,000kmreplacement". If there are some important safety matters like fuel flow
restriction, surging, loss of power, hard starting problemetc., replace the fuel filter immediately regardless of main-
tenance schedule. We recommend that you consult an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer for details.
* 6
: Manual transaxle fluid, transfer case oil and rear differential
oil should be changed anytime they have been submerged
in water.
* 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 serious malfunction or engine damage.
* 8
: For your convenience, it can be replaced prior to it's interval
when you do maintenance of other items.
* 9
: If good quality petrols meet Europe Fuel standards (EN228)
or equivalents including fuel additives is not available, one
bottle of additive is recommended. Additives are available
from your authorised HYUNDAI dealer along with informa-
tion on how to use them. Do not mix other additives.
