What to do in an emergency
6
Use a towing cable or chain less than16 feet (5 m) long. Attach a white or red
cloth (about 12 inch (30 cm) wide) in
the middle of the cable or chain for
easy visibility.
Drive carefully so the towing cable or chain remains tight during towing.
Before towing, check the automatic transaxle/dual clutch transmission for
fluid leaks under your vehicle. If the
automatic transaxle/dual clutch trans-
mission fluid is leaking, flatbed equip-
ment or a towing dolly must be used.
Tie-down hook
ODH063025
To avoid damage to your vehicle
and vehicle components when tow-
ing:
Always pull straight ahead when
using the towing hooks. Do not
pull from the side or at a vertical
angle.
Do not use the towing hooks to
pull a vehicle out of mud, sand or
other conditions from which the
vehicle cannot be driven out under
its own power.
Limit the vehicle speed to
10 mph (15 km/h) and drive less
than 1 mile (1.5 km) when towing
to avoid serious damage to the
automatic transaxle/dual clutch
transmission.
CAUTION
OLMB033091
Do not use the tie-down hook(s) for
towing purposes. If the tie-down
hook(s) are used for towing, the tie-
down hook(s) or bumper will be
damaged and this could lead to
serious injury.

Maintenance
The following lists are vehicle checks and
inspections that should be performed by
the owner or an authorized 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 dealer as
soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance vehicle
checks are generally not covered by war-
ranties and you may be charged for
labor, parts and lubricants used.Owner Maintenance Schedule
When you stop for fuel:
Check the engine oil level.
Check coolant level in the enginecoolant reservoir.
Check the windshield washer fluid level.
Check for low or under-inflated tires.
While 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 looseness in the
steering wheel, or change in its
straight-ahead position.
Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or "pulls" to one side when trav-
eling 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 oper- ation of your transmission occurs,
check the transmission fluid level.
Check the automatic transmission/ dual clutch transmission P (Park) func-
tion.
Check the parking brake.
Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air condition-
ing system during or after use is nor-
mal).
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.

Maintenance
Automatic Transmission Fluid
(if equipped)
Automatic transmission fluid should not
be checked under normal usage condi-
tions. But in severe conditions, the fluid
should be changed at an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer in accordance to the
scheduled maintenance at the beginning
of this chapter.
Automatic transmission fluid color is
basically red.
As the vehicle is driven, the automatic
transmission fluid will begin to look
darker. This is a normal condition and
you should not judge the need to
replace the fluid based upon the
changed color.
Dual Clutch Transmission
Fluid (if equipped)
Inspect the dual clutch transmission fluid
according to the maintenance schedule.
Manual Transmission Fluid
(if equipped)
Inspect the manual transmission fluid
according to the maintenance schedule.
Brake Hoses and Lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and any
leakage. Replace any deteriorated or
damaged parts immediately.
Brake/Clutch Fluid
Check brake/clutch fluid level in the
brake/clutch fluid reservoir. The level
should be between the MIN and the MAX
marks on the side of the reservoir. Use
only hydraulic brake/clutch fluid conform-
ing to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification.
Parking Brake
Inspect the parking brake system includ-
ing 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.
Exhaust Pipe and Muffler
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, muf-
fler and hangers for cracks, deterioration,
or damage. Start the engine and listen
carefully for any exhaust gas leakage.
Tighten connections or replace parts as
necessary.
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 the engine
off, check for excessive free-play in the
steering wheel. Check the linkage for
bends or damage. Check the dust boots
and ball joints for deterioration, cracks, or
damage.
Replace any damaged parts.
Drive Shafts and Boots
Check the drive shafts, boots and clamps
for cracks, deterioration, or damage.
Replace any damaged parts and, if nec-
essary, repack the grease.
Air Conditioning Refrigerant
Check the air conditioning lines and con-
nections for leakage and damage.
NOTICE
The use of a non-specified fluid
could result in transmission mal-
function and failure. Use only the
specified automatic transmission
fluid (refer to "Recommended
Lubricants and Capacities" in
chapter 8).
