Maintenance
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 cooling system components,
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 transaxle fluid
(if equipped)
Inspect the manual transaxle fluid
according to the maintenance sched-
ule.
Automatic transaxle fluid
(if equipped)
Automatic transaxle fluid should not
be checked under normal usage
conditions.
We recommend that the automatic
transaxle fluid changed by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer according to
the maintenance schedule.
Information
Automatic transaxle fluid color is
basically red.
As the vehicle is driven, the automatic
transaxle fluid will begin to look darker.
It is normal condition and you should
not judge the need to replace the fluid
based upon the changed color.The use of a non-specified fluid
could result in transaxle malfunc-
tion and failure.
Use only specified automatic
transaxle fluid. (Refer to
"Recommended lubricants and
capacities" in chapter 8.)

Draining water from fuel filter
The fuel filter for diesel engine plays
an important role of separating water
from fuel and accumulating the water
in its bottom.
If water accumulates in the fuel filter,
the warning light comes on when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
If this warning light turned
on, we recommend that the
system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
If the water accumulated in the
fuel filter is not drained at proper
times, damages to the major parts
such as the fuel system can be
caused by water permeation in the
fuel filter.
Extracting air from the fuel filter
If you drive until you have no fuel left
or if you replace the fuel filter, be
sure to extract air from the fuel sys-
tem as it makes it difficult to start the
engine.
1. Pump up and down(1) approxi-
mately 50 times until the pump is
hard.
2. Extract air from the fuel filter by
removing the bolt(2) with a cross-
tip screw driver and reinstall the
bolt(2).
3. Pump up and down(1) approxi-
mately 15 times.4. Extract air from the fuel filter by
removing the bolt(2) with a cross-
tip screw driver and reinstall the
bolt(2).
5. Pump up and down(1) approxi-
mately 5 times.
Information
• Use cloths when you extract air so
that the fuel is not sprayed around.
• Clean the fuel around the fuel filter
or the injection pump before start-
ing the engine to prevent fire.
• Finally, check each part if the fuel is
leaking.

For best battery service
Keep the battery securely mounted.
Keep the battery top clean and dry.
Keep the terminals and connec-
tions clean, tight, and coated with
gasolineeum jelly or terminal
grease.
Rinse any spilled electrolyte from
the battery immediately with a
solution of water and baking soda.
If the vehicle is not going to be
used for an extended time, discon-
nect the cable from Negative termi-
nal (-ve) of the Battery to prevent
Discharge.
Information
Basically equipped battery is mainte-
nance free type. If your vehicle is
equipped with the battery marked
with MIN and MAX on the side, you
can check the electrolyte level. The
electrolyte level should be between
MIN and MAX. If the electrolyte level
is low, it needs to add distilled (dem-
ineralized) water (Never add sulfuric
acid or other electrolyte).
When refill, be careful not to splash
the battery and adjacent components.
And do not overfill the battery cells. It
can cause corrosion on other parts.
After then ensure that tighten the cell
caps. We recommend that you contact
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.If the Electrolyte level is Low, Add
distilled ( demineralized ) water.
Never add sulfuric acid or other
electrolyte.
