If it is near or at L, add enough oil to
bring the level to F.Do not overfill.
Use a funnel to help prevent oil
from being spilled on engine com-ponents.
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer to “Recommended lubricantsand capacities” in section 8.)
Changing the engine oil and filter
We recommend that the engine oil
and filter be replaced by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.

Used engine oil may cause irri- tation or cancer of the skin if
left in contact with the skin for
prolonged periods of time. Used
engine oil contains chemicals
that have caused cancer in lab-
oratory animals. Always protect
your skin by washing your
hands thoroughly with soapand warm water as soon as pos-
sible after handling used oil.

Checking the power steering
fluid level
With the vehicle on level ground,
check the fluid level in the power
steering reservoir periodically. The
fluid should be between MAX and
MIN marks on the side of the reser-
voir at the normal temperature.
Before adding power steering fluid, thoroughly clean the area around the
reservoir cap to prevent power steer-ing fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the
MAX level.Check that the fluid level is in the
"HOT" range on the reservoir. If
the fluid is cold, check that it is in
the "COLD" range.
In the event the power steering sys- tem requires frequent additions of
fluid, we recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
Do not allow brake fluid to con-
tact the vehicle's body paint, as
paint damage will result. Brake
fluid, which has been exposed
to open air for an extended time
should never be used as its
quality cannot be guaranteed. It
should be disposed of properly.
Don't put in the wrong kind of
fluid. A few drops of mineral-
based oil, such as engine oil, in
your brake system can damage
brake system parts.

To avoid damage to the power
steering pump, do not operate
the vehicle for prolonged peri-
ods with a low power steering
fluid level.
Never start the engine when
the reservoir tank is empty.
When adding fluid, be careful
that dirt does not get into the
reservoir.

MaintenanceUse only the specified power steer-ing fluid. (Refer to "Recommendedlubricants or capacities" in section 9.)
Checking the power steering hose
Check the connections for oil leaks,
damage and twists in the power
steering hose before driving.
Checking the washer fluid
level
Check the fluid level in the washer
fluid reservoir and add fluid if neces-
sary.
Plain water may be used if washer
fluid is not available. However, use
washer solvent with antifreeze char-
acteristics in cold climates to preventfreezing.
(Continued)
Too little fluid can result in
increased steering effort
and/or noise from the powersteering system.
The use of the non-specified
fluid could reduce the effec-
tiveness of the power steering
system and cause damage toit.

Do not use radiator coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.
Radiator coolant can severely obscure visibility when
sprayed on the windshield
and may cause loss of vehicle
control or damage to paint
and body trim.
Windshield Washer fluid
agents contain some amountsof alcohol and can be flamma-
ble under certain circum-
stances. Do not allow sparksor flame to contact the washerfluid or the washer fluid reser-
voir. Damage to the vehicle or
occupants could occur.
Windshield washer fluid is poisonous to humans and
animals. Do not drink and
avoid contacting windshield
washer fluid. Serious injury or
death could occur.

Check and adding oil
Loosen the inspection plug and inspect the oil is under the inspectionplug.
If the oil level is low, add the gear oil.
Change the gear oil
1.After driving, drain the gear oil byloosening the drain plug before the gear oil become cool.
2.Install the drain plug.
3.Refill the gear oil up to check plug inlet.
Filter replacement
It must be replaced when necessary, and should not be cleaned andreused.

(Continued)
Disconnect the battery charg-
er in the following order.
1. Turn off the battery charger main switch.
2. Unhook the negative clamp from the negative battery ter-minal.
3. Unhook the positive clamp from the positive battery ter-minal.
4. After recharging, park the vehicle for about 5 hours with
the hood and all doors
closed. During this period,
the dark current must be
under 100mA.(AGM battery
only)
Before performing mainte-
nance or recharging the bat-
tery, turn off all accessories
and stop the engine.
The negative battery cable
must be removed first and
installed last when the batteryis disconnected.
Do not open the AGM battery.
WARNING
Recharging battery
When recharging the battery,
observe the following precau-tions:
The battery must be removed
from the vehicle and placed inan area with good ventilation.
Do not allow cigarettes,
sparks, or flame near the bat-
tery.
Watch the battery during
charging, and stop or reduce
the charging rate if the batterycells begin gassing (boiling)
violently or if the temperature
of the electrolyte of any cell
exceeds 49°C (120°F).
Do not charge the AGM bat-
tery with over 14.5V. No quick-
charging routines
Wear eye protection when
checking the battery during
charging.

Maintenance
If the electrical system does not
work, first check the driver’s sidefuse panel.
Before replacing a blown fuse, dis-
connect the negative battery cable.
Always replace a blown fuse with
one of the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and we
recommend that you consult an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: bladetype for lower amperage rating, car-tridge type, and fusible link for higher amperage ratings.
The actual fuse/relay panel label
may differ from equipped items.
NOTICE
Fuse replacement
Never replace a fuse with any-
thing but another fuse of thesame rating.
A higher capacity fuse could
cause damage and possibly a
fire.
Never install a wire or alu-
minum foil instead of the
proper fuse - even as a tem-
porary repair. It may cause
extensive wiring damage and
a possible fire.
WARNING
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove
fuses because it may cause a
short circuit and damage thesystem.
CAUTION
When replacing a blown fuse
or relay with a new one, make
sure the new fuse or relay fits
tightly into the clips. Theincomplete fastening fuse or
relay may cause the vehiclewiring and electric systems
damage and a possible fire.
Do not remove fuses, relays and terminals fastened with
bolts or nuts. The fuses,
relays and terminals may be
fastened incompletely, and it
may cause a possible fire. If
fuses, relays and terminals
fastened with bolts or nuts are
blown, consult with an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not input any other objects
except fuses or relays into
fuse/relay terminals such as a
driver or wiring. It may causecontact failure and systemmalfunction.

NOTICE
Halogen bulbs
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surized gas that will produce
flying pieces of glass if bro-ken. (Continued)
(Continued)
Always handle them carefully,
and avoid scratches and abra-
sions. If the bulbs are lit, avoid
contact with liquids. Never
touch the glass with bare
hands. Residual oil may cause
the bulb to overheat and burst
when lit. A bulb should be
operated only when installedin a headlight.
If a bulb becomes damaged or
cracked, replace it immediate-
ly and carefully dispose of it.
Wear eye protection when
changing a bulb. Allow the
bulb to cool down before han-dling it.

Maintenance
Waxing
Wax the vehicle when water will no longer bead on the paint.
Always wash and dry the vehicle
before waxing. Use a good quality
liquid or paste wax, and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. Wax all
metal trim to protect it and to main-
tain its luster.
Removing oil, tar, and similar materi-
als with a spot remover will usually
strip the wax from the finish. Be sure
to re-wax these areas even if the rest
of the vehicle does not yet need wax-ing.
Finish damage repair
Deep scratches or stone chips in the
painted surface must be repaired
promptly. Exposed metal will quickly
rust and may develop into a major
repair expense.
If your vehicle is damaged and
requires any metal repair or
replacement, be sure the body
shop applies anti-corrosion mate-
rials to the parts repaired orreplaced.
NOTICE
Wiping dust or dirt off the
body with a dry cloth will
scratch the finish.
Do not use steel wool, abra-
sive cleaners, or strong deter-
gents containing highly alka-
line or caustic agents on
chrome-plated or anodized
aluminum parts. This may
result in damage to the pro-tective coating and cause dis-coloration or paint deteriora-tion.
