What to do in an emergency
6
Emergency towing
If towing is necessary, we recom-
mend you have it done by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer or a commer-
cial tow truck service.
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or
chain secured to the emergency tow-
ing hook at the front (or rear) of the
vehicle.
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle with a cable or chain. A
driver must be in the vehicle to steer
it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for a
short distance and at low speeds.
Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be in
good condition.
Always follow these emergency tow-
ing precautions:
•Place the ignition switch in the
ACC position so the steering
wheel is not locked.
•Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
•Release the parking brake.
•Depress the brake pedal with more
force than normal since you will
have reduced braking perform-
ance.
•More steering effort will be
required because the power steer-
ing system will be disabled.
•Use a vehicle heavier than your
own to tow your vehicle.
•The drivers of both vehicles should
communicate with each other fre-
quently.
•Before emergency towing, check
that the hook is not broken or dam-
aged.
•Fasten the towing cable or chain
securely to the hook.
•Do not jerk the hook.Apply steady
and even force.

OWNER MAINTENANCE
The following lists are vehicle checks
and inspections that should be per-
for med by the owner or an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer at the frequencies
indicated to help ensure safe,
dependable operation of your vehicle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your deal-
er as soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance vehicle
checks are generally not covered by
warranties and you may be charged
for labor, par ts and lubricants used.
Performing maintenance work
on a vehicle can be dangerous.
If you lack sufficient knowledge
and experience or the proper
tools and equipment to do the
work, we recommend that the
system be serviced by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer. ALWAYS
follow these precautions for
performing maintenance work:
•Park your vehicle on level
ground, move the shift lever
into the P (Park, for automatic
transaxle vehicle) position,
apply the parking brake, place
the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position.
•Block the tires (front and back)
to prevent the vehicle from
moving.
Remove loose clothing or jew-
elry that can become entan-
gled in moving parts.

WARNING (Continued)
•If you must run the engine
during maintenance, do so
out doors or in an area with
plenty of ventilation.
•Keep flames, sparks, or smok-
ing materials away from the
battery and fuel-related parts.

Maintenance
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 frequent oil and filter changes
are required.
Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil
saturation and replace if necessary.
Drive belts should be checked peri-
odically for proper tension and
adjusted as necessary.
Fuel filter (cartridge)
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 excessive amount of
foreign matter accumulates 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 authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and con-
nections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and dam-
age. We recommend that the fuel
lines, fuel hoses and connections be
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Va p o r h o s e a n d f u e l f i l l e r c a p
The vapor hose and fuel filler cap
should be inspected at those inter-
vals specified in the maintenance
schedule. Make sure that a new
vapor hose or fuel filler cap is cor-
rectly replaced.
When you are inspecting the
belt, place the ignition switch to
the LOCK/OFF or ACC position.

Maintenance
(Continued)
If any electrolyte gets
into your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean
water for at least 15 min-
utes and get immediate
medical attention. If elec-
trolyte gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the
contacted area. If you
feel a pain or a burning
sensation, get medical
attention immediately.
Wear eye protection
when charging or work-
ing near a battery.
Always provide ventila-
tion when working in an
enclosed space.
An inappropriately dis-
posed battery can be
harmful to the environ-
ment and human health.
Dispose the battery
according to your local
law(s) or regulation.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•When lifting a plastic-cased
battery, excessive pressure
on the case may cause battery
acid to leak, resulting in per-
sonal injury. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
•Never attempt to recharge the
battery when the battery
cables are connected.
•The electrical ignition system
works with high voltage.
Never touch these compo-
nents with the engine running
or the ignition switch is in the
on position.
Failure to follow the above
warnings can result in serious
bodily injury or death.
If you connect unauthorized
electronic devices to the bat-
tery, the battery may be dis-
charged. Never use unautho-
rized devices.

alytic converter emission control
device.
Therefore, the following precautions
must be observed:
Failure to observe these precautions
could result in damage to the catalyt-
ic converter and to your vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void
your warranties.
•Use only UNLEADED FUEL for
gasoline engine.
•Do not operate the vehicle when
there are signs of engine mal-
function, such as misfire or a
noticeable loss of performance.
•Do not misuse or abuse the
engine. Examples of misuse are
coasting with the ignition off
and descending steep grades in
gear with the ignition off.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Do not operate the engine at
high idle speed for extended
periods (5 minutes or more).
•Do not modify or tamper with
any part of the engine or emis-
sion control system. All inspec-
tions and adjustments must be
made by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
•Avoid driving with a very low
fuel level. If you run out of
gasoline, it could cause the
engine to misfire and result in
excessive loading of the cat-
alytic converter.
