You should exercise the utmost care
to prevent damage to your vehicle
and injury to yourself whenever per-
forming any maintenance or inspec-
tion procedures.
We recommend you have your vehi-
cle maintained and repaired by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer. An
authorized HYUNDAI dealer meets
HYUNDAI’s high service quality stan-
dards and receives technical support
from HYUNDAI in order to provide
you with a high level of service satis-
faction.
Owner’s responsibility
Maintenance service and record reten-
tion are the owner’s responsibility.
You should retain documents that show proper maintenance has been per-
formed on your vehicle in accordance
with the scheduled maintenance serv-
ice charts shown on the following
pages. You need this information to
establish your compliance with the
servicing and maintenance require-
ments of your vehicle warranties. Detailed warranty information is pro-
vided in your Service Passport. Repairs and adjustments required as a result of improper maintenance or
a lack of required maintenance are
not covered.
Owner maintenance precautions
Inadequate, incomplete or insufficient
servicing may result in operational
problems with your vehicle that could
lead to vehicle damage, an accident,
or personal injury. This chapter pro-
vides instructions only for the mainte-
nance items that are easy to perform.
Several procedures can be done only
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
with special tools.
Your vehicle should not be modified in
any way. Such modifications may
adversely affect the performance,
safety or durability of your vehicle and
may, in addition, violate conditions of
the limited warranties covering the
vehicle.
Improper owner maintenance dur-
ing the warranty period may affect
warranty coverage. For details, read
the separate Service Passport pro-
vided with the vehicle. If you're
unsure about any servicing or main-
tenance procedure, we recommend
that the system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
