Maintenance
Brake hoses and lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and
any leakage. Replace any deteriorat
ed or damaged parts immediately.
Brake fluid
Check brake fluid level in the brake
fluid reservoir. The level should be
between "MIN" (Minimum) and
"MAX" (Maximum) marks on the side
of the reservoir. Use only hydraulic
brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or
DOT 4 specification.
Parking brake
Inspect the parking brake system
including the parking brake pedal
and cables.
Brake discs, pads, calipers and
rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear,
discs for run out and wear, and
calipers for fluid leakage.
Suspension mounting bolts
Check the suspension connections
for looseness or damage. Retighten
to the specified torque.
Steering gear box, linkage &
boots/lower arm ball joint
With the vehicle stopped and engine
off, check for excessive freeplay in
the steering wheel.
Check the linkage for bends or dam
age. Check the dust boots and ball
joints for deterioration, cracks, or
damage. Replace any damaged
parts.

Maintenance
Wheel alignment and tire bal
ance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tire life
and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to
have your wheels aligned again.
However, if you notice unusual tire
wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other, the alignment may need
to be reset.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating
when driving on a smooth road, your
wheels may need to be rebalanced.
Improper wheel weights can damage
your vehicle's aluminum wheels. Use
only approved wheel weights.
Tire replacement
If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear
indicator will appear as a solid band
across the tread. This shows there is
less than 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) of tread
left on the tire. Replace the tire when
this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replac
ing the tire.
When replacing the tires, recheck
and tighten the wheel nuts after driv
ing about 1,000 km (620 miles). If the
steering wheel shakes or the vehicle
vibrates while driving, the tire is out
of balance. Align the tire balance. If
the problem is not solved, we recom
mend that you contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Maintenance
Keep your garage dry
Don't park your vehicle in a damp,
poorly ventilated garage. This cre
ates a favorable environment for cor
rosion. This is particularly true if you
wash your vehicle in the garage or
drive it into the garage when it is still
wet or covered with snow, ice or
mud. Even a heated garage can con
tribute to corrosion unless it is well
ventilated so moisture is dispersed.
Keep paint and trim in good condi
tion
Scratches or chips in the finish
should be covered with "touchup"
paint as soon as possible to reduce
the possibility of corrosion. If bare
metal is showing through, the atten
tion of a qualified body and paint
shop is recommended.
Bird droppings : Bird droppings are
highly corrosive and may damage
painted surfaces in just a few hours.
Always remove bird droppings as
soon as possible.
Don't neglect the interior
Moisture can collect under the floor
mats and carpeting and cause corro
sion. Check under the mats periodi
cally to be sure the carpeting is dry.
Use particular care if you carry fertil
izers, cleaning materials or chemi
cals in the vehicle.
These should be carried only in
proper containers and any spills or
leaks should be cleaned up, flushed
with clean water and thoroughly
dried.Interior care
Interior general precautions
Prevent chemicals such as perfume,
cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand clean
er, and air freshener from contacting
the interior parts because they may
cause damage or discoloration. If
they do contact the interior parts,
wipe them off immediately. See the
instructions that follow for the proper
way to clean vinyl.
Never allow water or other liquids to
come in contact with electrical/ elec
tronic components inside the vehicle
as this may damage them.
When cleaning leather products
(steering wheel, seats etc.), use neu
tral detergents or low alcohol content
solutions. If you use high alcohol
content solutions or acid/alkaline
detergents, the color of the leather
may fade or the surface may get
stripped off.
