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.

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
vehicle is being driven in severe con-
ditions, 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
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 authoized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and con-
nections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and damage.
We recommend that the fuel lines,
fuel hoses and connections be
replaced by an authoized HYUNDAI
dealer.
CAUTION
When you are inspecting the
belt, place the ignition switch in
the LOCK/OFF or ACC position.
