The following lists are vehicle checks
and inspections that should be per-
for med by the owner or an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer at the frequencies
indicated to help ensure safe,
dependable operation of your vehicle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your deal-
er as soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance vehicle
checks are generally not covered by
warranties and you may be charged
for labour, par ts and lubricants used.
Performing maintenance work
on a vehicle can be dangerous.
If you lack sufficient knowledge
and experience or the proper
tools and equipment to do the
work, we recommend that the
system be serviced by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
ALWAYS follow these precau-
tions for performing mainte-
nance work:
•Park your vehicle on level
ground, move the shift lever
into the P (Park, for automatic
transmission vehicle) posi-
tion, apply the parking brake,
and place the ignition switch
in the LOCK/OFF position.

ellery that can become entan-
gled in moving parts.
•If you must run the engine
during maintenance, do so
out doors or in an area with
plenty of ventilation.
•Keep flames, sparks, or smok-
ing materials away from the
battery and fuel-related parts.

Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
•Check the engine oil level.
•Check coolant level in the engine
coolant reservoir.
•Check the windscreen washer fluid
level.
•Check for low or under-inflated
tyres.
Whilst operating your vehicle:
•Note any changes in the sound of
the exhaust or any smell of exhaust
fumes in the vehicle.
•Check for vibrations in the steering
wheel. Notice if there is any
increased steering effort or loose-
ness in the steering wheel, or
change in its straight-ahead position.
•Notice if your vehicle constantly
turns slightly or “pulls” to one side
when travelling on smooth, level
road.
•When stopping, listen and check for
unusual sounds, pulling to one side,
increased brake pedal travel or
“hard-to-push” brake pedal.
•If any slipping or changes in the
operation of your transmission
occurs, check the transmission fluid
level.
•Check the automatic transmission
P (Park) function.
•Check the parking brake.
•Check for fluid leaks under your vehi-
cle (water dripping from the air con-
ditioning system during or after use
is normal).
At least monthly:
•Check coolant level in the engine
coolant reservoir.
•Check the operation of all exterior
lights, including the stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flashers.
•Check the inflation pressures of all
tyres including the spare for tyres
that are worn, show uneven wear,
or are damaged.
•Check for loose wheel lug nuts.
Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the
engine is hot. This may result in
coolant being blown out of the
opening and cause serious
burns and other injuries.
