lighting system, your vehicle’s
audio and electronic devices may
malfunction.
• Prevent chemicals such as per-
fume, cosmetic oil, sun cream,
hand cleaner, and air freshener
from contacting the interior parts
as they may cause damage or dis-
colouration.

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 kilometres and time are shown, the fre-
quency of service is determined by whichever occurs first.
*1: If good quality petrol meeting Europe Fuel standards
(EN228) or equivalent, including fuel additives is not avail-
able, one bottle of additive is recommended. Additives are
available from your authorised HYUNDAI dealer along with
information on how to use them. Do not mix with other addi-
tives.
*
2: Check the engine oil level and leak every 500 km or before
starting a long trip.
*
3: The fuel filter is considered to be maintenance free but peri-
odic inspection is recommended as this maintenance
schedule depends on fuel quality. If there are some impor-
tant issues such as fuel flow restriction, surging, loss of
power, hard starting problems etc., replace the fuel filter
immediately regardless of maintenance schedule and we
recommend that you consult an authorised HYUNDAI deal-
er for details.*
4: Adjust alternator and power steering (and water pump drive
belt) and air conditioner drive belt (if equipped).
Inspect and if necessary repair or replace.
*
5 : For your convenience, it can be replaced prior to it's interval
when you do maintenance of other items.
*
6 : When adding coolant, use only deionized water or soft water
for your vehicle and never mix hard water with the coolant
filled at the factory. An improper coolant mixture can result in
serious malfunction or engine damage.
*
7: Manual transaxle fluid should be changed anytime the vehi-
cle has been submerged in water.

reach normal operating tempera-
ture.

few minutes (about 5 minutes) for
the oil to return to the oil pan.
4. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean,
and reinsert it fully.5. Pull the dipstick out again and
check the level. The level should
be between F (Full) and L (Low).
WARNING - Radiator

radiator hose when checking or
adding the engine oil as it may
be hot enough to burn you.CAUTION
• Do not spill engine oil, when
adding or changing engine oil.

Maintenance
BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)
Checking the brake/clutch
fluid level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX (Maximum) and MIN
(Minimum) marks on the side of the
reservoir. Before removing the reser-
voir cap and adding brake/clutch
fluid, clean the area around the
reservoir cap thoroughly to prevent
brake/clutch fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the
MAX (Maximum) level. The level will
fall with accumulated kilometres/
mileage. This is a normal condition
associated with the wear of the brake
linings and/or clutch disc (if
equipped).If the fluid level is excessively low, we
recommend that the system be
checked by an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.
Use only the specified brake/clutch
fluid. (Refer to “Recommended lubri-
cants or capacities” in section 8.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
✽NOTICE
Before removing the brake/clutch
filler cap, read the warning on the cap.
WARNING - Loss of
brake fluid
In the event the brake system
requires frequent additions of
fluid, we recommend that the
system be inspected by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING - Brake/clutch
fluid
When changing and adding
brake/clutch fluid, handle it care-
fully. Do not let it come in contact
with your eyes. If brake/clutch
fluid should come in contact with
your eyes, immediately flush
them with a large quantity of
fresh tap water. Have your eyes
examined by a doctor as soon as
possible.
CAUTION
Do not allow brake/clutch fluid to
contact the vehicle's body paint,
as paint damage will result.
Brake/clutch 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 proper-
ly disposed. Don't put in the
wrong kind of fluid. A few drops
of mineral-based oil, such as
engine oil, in your brake/clutch
system can damage brake/clutch
system parts.
OMD071006R
WARNING
Clean filler cap before remov-
ing. Use only DOT3 or DOT4
brake/clutch fluid from a sealed
container.
