Maintenance
BATTERY
For best battery service
• Keep the battery securely mounted.
• Keep the battery top clean and dry.
• Keep the terminals and connections clean, tight, and coated with
gasolineeum jelly or terminal
grease.
• Rinse any spilled electrolyte from the battery immediately with asolution of water and baking soda.
• If the vehicle is not going to be used for an extended time, discon
nect the cable from Negative termi
nal (ve) of the Battery to prevent
Discharge.
Information
Basically equipped battery is mainte
nance free type. If your vehicle is
equipped with the battery marked with MIN and MAX on the side, you
can check the electrolyte level. The
electrolyte level should be between
MIN and MAX. If the electrolyte level is low, it needs to add distilled (dem
ineralized) water (Never add sulfuric
acid or other electrolyte).
When refill, be careful not to splash
the battery and adjacent components.
And do not overfill the battery cells. It
can cause corrosion on other parts.
After then ensure that tighten the cell
caps. We recommend that you contact
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
If the Electrolyte level is Low, Add
distilled ( demineralized ) water.
Never add sulfuric acid or other elec
trolyte.

4. Tire ply composition and materi
al
The number of layers or plies of rub
bercoated fabric in the tire. Tire
manufacturers also must indicate the
materials in the tire, which include
steel, nylon, polyester, and others.
The letter "R" means radial ply con
struction; the letter "D" means diago
nal or bias ply construction; and the
letter "B" means beltedbias ply con
struction.
5. Maximum permissible inflation
pressure
This number is the greatest amount
of air pressure that should be put in
the tire. Do not exceed the maximum
permissible inflation pressure. Refer
to the Tire and Loading Information
label for recommended inflation
pressure.
6. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maximum
load in kilograms and pounds that
can be carried by the tire. When
replacing the tires on the vehicle,
always use a tire that has the same
load rating as the factory installed
tire.
7. Uniform tire quality grading
Quality grades can be found where
applicable on the tire sidewall
between tread shoulder and maxi
mum chapter width.
For example:
TREAD wear 200
TRACTION AA
TEMPERATURE A
Tire age
Tires degrade over time, even
when they are not being used.
Regardless of the remaining
tread, it is recommended that tires
generally be replaced after six (6)
years of normal service. Heat
caused by hot climates or frequent
high loading conditions can accel
erate the aging process. Failure
to follow this warning could cause
sudden tire failure, which could
lead to a loss of control and an
accident involving serious injury or
death.

Maintenance
Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a compara
tive rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified govern
ment test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear oneanda
half times (1) as well on the gov
ernment course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires
depends upon the actual conditions
of their use, however, and may
depart significantly from the norm
due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in
road characteristics and climate.
These grades are molded on the
sidewalls of passenger vehicle tires.
The tires available as standard or
optional equipment on your vehicle
may vary with respect to grade.
Traction AA, A, B & C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those
grades represent the tire’s ability to
stop on wet pavement measured
under controlled conditions on spec
ified government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked
C may have poor traction perform
ance.
Temperature A, B & C
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B, and C, representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation of
heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled condi
tions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. Grades B and A
represent higher levels of perform
ance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by law.
The traction grade assigned to this
tire is based on straightahead
braking traction tests, and does
not include acceleration, corner
ing, hydroplaning, or peak traction
characteristics.

EMISSION CONTROl SYSTEM
The emission control system of your
vehicle is covered by a written limited
warranty. Please see the warranty
information contained in the Service
Passport in your vehicle.
Your vehicle is equipped with an
emission control system to meet all
emission regulations.
There are three emission control
systems which are as follows.
(1) Crankcase emission control system
(2) Evaporative emission control sys tem
(3) Exhaust emission control system
In order to assure the proper function
of the emission control systems, it is
recommended that you have your
car inspected and maintained by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer in
accordance with the maintenance
schedule in this manual.1. Crankcase emission control
system
The positive crankcase ventilation
system is employed to prevent air
pollution caused by blowby gases
being emitted from the crankcase.
This system supplies fresh filtered air
to the crankcase through the air
intake hose. Inside the crankcase,
the fresh air mixes with blowby
gases, which then pass through the
PCV valve into the induction system.
2. Evaporative emission control
system
The Evaporative Emission Control
System is designed to prevent fuel
vapors from escaping into the atmos
phere.
Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel
tank are absorbed and stored in the
onboard canister. When the engine is
running, the fuel vapors absorbed in
the canister are drawn into the surge
tank through the purge control sole
noid valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve(PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve is
controlled by the Engine Control
Module (ECM); when the engine
coolant temperature is low during
idling, the PCSV closes so that evap
orated fuel is not taken into the
engine. After the engine warms up
during ordinary driving, the PCSV
opens to introduce evaporated fuel to
the engine.
