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 filterchanges 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 lines, fuel hoses and con- nections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and dam-
age. We recommend that the fuel
lines, fuel hoses and connections be
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Fuel filter (for gasoline)
HYUNDAI gasoline vehicle is
equipped a lifetime fuel filter that
integrated with the fuel tank. Regularmaintenance or replacement is not
needed but depends on fuel quality. If
there are some important safety mat-
ters like fuel flow restriction, surging,
loss of power, hard starting problem
etc, fuel filter inspection or replace is
needed. We recommend that the fuel
filter be Inspected or replaced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Vapor hose and fuel filler cap
The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should be inspected at those inter-
vals specified in the maintenance
schedule. Make sure that a new
vapor hose or fuel filler cap is cor-rectly replaced.
Vacuum crankcase ventilation hoses (if equipped)
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi- dence of heat and/or mechanical
damage. Hard and brittle rubber,
cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and
excessive swelling indicate deterio-
ration. Particular attention should be
paid to examine those hose surfaces
nearest to high heat sources, such
as the exhaust manifold.Inspect the hose routing to ensurethat the hoses do not come in con-
tact with any heat source, sharp
edges or moving component whichmight cause heat damage or
mechanical wear. Inspect all hose
connections, such as clamps and
couplings, to make sure they are
secure, and that no leaks are pres-
ent. Hoses should be replaced
immediately if there is any evidence
of deterioration or damage.
When you are inspecting the belt,
place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF or ACC position.
CAUTION

Maintenance
Air cleaner filter
We recommend that the air cleaner
filter be replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Spark plugs
(for Gasoline Engine)
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.
Valve clearance
(for Gasoline Engine)
Inspect excessive valve noise and/or
engine vibration and adjust if neces-
sary. We recommend that the system
be serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Cooling system
Check the cooling system parts,
such as radiator, coolant reservoir,
hoses and connections for leakage
and damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
Engine coolant
The coolant should be changed at
the intervals specified in the mainte-
nance schedule.
Manual transmission fluid (if equipped)
Inspect the manual transmission fluid according to the maintenance
schedule.
Dual clutch transmission fluid (if equipped)
Inspect the dual clutch transmission fluid according to the maintenance
schedule.
Brake hoses and lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and
any leakage. Replace any deteriorat-
ed or damaged parts immediately.
Brake/Clutch fluid (if equipped)
Check the brake/clutch fluid level in
the brake fluid reservoir. The level
should be between “MIN” and “MAX”
marks on the side of the reservoir.
Use only hydraulic brake fluid con-
forming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifi-cation.
Parking brake
Inspect the parking brake system
including the parking brake lever and
cables.
Do not disconnect and inspectspark plugs when the engine is
hot. You may burn yourself.

Maintenance
Brake pads, calipers and
rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear,
discs for run out and wear, and
calipers for fluid leakage.
For more information on checking
the pads or lining wear limit, refer to
the HYUNDAI web site. (http://ser
vice.hyundai-motor.com)
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 free-play 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.
Drive shafts and boots
Check the drive shafts, boots and
clamps for cracks, deterioration, or
damage. Replace any damaged
parts and, if necessary, repack the
grease.
Air conditioning refrigerant/ compressor
Check the air conditioning lines and
connections for leakage and dam-
age.
Checking the engine oil level (Gasoline engine)
1. Be sure the vehicle is on level
ground.

Maintenance
2. Start the engine and allow it to reachnormal operating temperature.
3. Turn the engine off and wait for a few minutes (about 5 minutes) for
the oil to return to the oil pan.
4. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and re-insert it fully.
5. Pull the dipstick out again and check the level. The level should
be between F (Full) and L (Low).
6. If it is near or at L, add enough oil to bring the level to F. Do not overfill the engine oil.
It may damage the engine.
Do not spill engine oil, when adding or changing engine oil. If
you drop the engine oil on the
engine room, wipe it off immedi-
ately.
When you wipe the oil level gauge, you should wipe it with a clean
cloth. When mixed with debris, it
can cause engine damage.
Use only the specified engine oil.
(Refer to “Recommended lubricants
and capacities” in chapter 8.)NOTICE
Radiator hose
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking or
adding the engine oil as it may
be hot enough to burn you.
