Blade Inspection
Contamination of either the windshield
or the wiper blades with foreign matter
can reduce the effectiveness of the
windshield wiper functionality.Common sources of contamination
are insects, tree sap, and hot wax
treatments used by some commercial
car washes. If the blades are not wip-
ing properly, clean both the window
and the blades with a clean cloth
dampened with washer fluid.
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, arms or other compo-
nents, do not:
Use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, or other solvents on or near them.
Attempt to move the wipers manually.
Use non-specified wiper blades.
Information
Commercial hot waxes applied by auto-
matic car washes have been known to
make the windshield difficult to clean.
Blade Replacement
When the wipers no longer clean
adequately, the blades may be worn
or cracked, and require replacement.
To prevent damage to the wiper
arms or other components, do not
attempt to move the wipers manu-
ally. The use of a non-specified wiper
blade could result in wiper mal-
function and failure.
In order to prevent damage to the hood and the wiper arms, the
wiper arms should only be liftedwhen in the top wiping position.
Always return the wiper arms to the windshield before driving.
Front windshield wiper service
positions
This vehicle has a "hidden" wiperdesign which means that the wipers
cannot be lifted when they are intheir bottom resting position.
1. Within 20 seconds of turning off the engine, lift and hold the wiper
lever up to the MIST position forabout 2 seconds until the wipers
move to the top wipe position.
2. At this time you can lift the wipers off the windshield.

3. Gently put the wipers back downonto the windshield.
4. Turn the wipers to any ON position to return the wipers to the bottom resting position.Front windshield wiper blade
replacement
1. Put the front windshield wipers into the service position.
2. Raise the wiper arm and slightly rotate the wiper blade assembly to
expose the plastic locking clip.
Do not allow the wiper arm to fall
against the windshield, since it
may chip or crack the windshield. 3. Press the clip (1) and slide the
blade assembly downward (2).
4. Lift it off the arm.
5. Install the blade assembly in the reverse order of removal.
6. Return the wiper arm on the wind- shield.

Maintenance
For Best Battery Service
Keep the battery securely mount-ed.
Keep the battery top clean and dry.
Keep the terminals and connec- tions clean, tight, and coated with
petroleum jelly or terminal grease.
Rinse any spilled acid from the bat- tery immediately with a solution of
water and baking soda.
Battery Recharging
Always follow these instruc-
tions when recharging your
vehicle's battery to avoid the
risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH from explosions or acid
burns:
Before performing mainte-
nance or recharging the bat-
tery, turn off all accessories
and place the ignition switchto the LOCK/OFF position.
Keep all flames, sparks, or
smoking materials away from
the battery.
Always work outdoors or in an area with plenty of ventilation.
Wear eye protection when
checking the battery during
charging.
The battery must be removed
from the vehicle and placed ina well ventilated area.
(Continued)
WARNING
OPD077028L (Continued)
Watch the battery during
charging, and stop or reduce
the charging rate if the battery
cells begin boiling violently.
The negative battery cable
must be removed first and
installed last when the battery
is disconnected. Disconnect
the battery charger in the fol-
lowing order:
(1) Turn off the battery charg-
er main switch.
(2) Unhook the negative clamp from the negative
battery terminal.
(3) Unhook the positive clamp from the positive batteryterminal.
Always use a genuine
HYUNDAI approved battery
when you replace the battery.

Tire Replacement
If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear indicator will appear as a solid band
across the tread. This shows there isless than 1.6 mm (2/32 inch) of tread
left on the tire. Replace the tire when
this happens.
Do not wait for the tread surface to
become level with the tread wear
indicators before replacing the tire.When replacing the tires, recheck
and tighten the wheel nuts after
driving about 620 mile. If the steer-
ing wheel shakes or the vehicle
vibrates while driving, the tire is
out of balance. Align the tire bal-
ance. If the problem is not solved,
we recommend that you contact
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
OLMB073027
Tread wear indicator
To reduce the risk of DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY:
Replace tires that are worn,
show uneven wear, or are
damaged. Worn tires can
cause loss of braking effec-
tiveness, steering control, andtraction.(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
Always replace tires with the
same size as each tire that
was originally supplied with
this vehicle. Using tires andwheels other than the recom-
mended sizes could cause
unusual handling characteris-
tics, poor vehicle control, or
negatively affect your vehi-
cle’s Anti-Lock Brake System(ABS) resulting in a seriousaccident.
Tires degrade over time, even
when they are not being used.
Regardless of the remaining
tread, HYUNDAI recommendsthat tires be replaced after six
(6) years of normal service.(Continued)

Maintenance
Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a compara-
tive rating based on the wear rate ofthe tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified govern-
ment test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one-and-a-
half times (1½) as well on the gov-
ernment course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions
of their use, however, and may
depart significantly from the norm
due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in
road characteristics and climate.
These grades are molded on the
sidewalls of passenger vehicle tires.
The tires available as standard or
optional equipment on your vehicle
may vary with respect to grade.
Traction - AA, A, B & C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those
grades represent the tire's ability to
stop on wet pavement as measuredunder controlled conditions on spec-
ified government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked
C may have poor traction perform-
ance.
Temperature - A, B & C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation ofheat and its ability to dissipate heatwhen tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor laboratorytest wheel.
Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. Grades B and A
represent higher levels of perform-
ance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by law.
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests,
and does not include accelera-
tion, cornering, hydroplaning,
or peak traction characteristics.

Maintenance
The emission control system of your
vehicle is covered by a written limited
warranty. Please see the warranty
information contained in the Service
Passport in your vehicle.
Your vehicle is equipped with an emission control system to meet all
applicable emission regulations.There are three emission control
systems, as follows.
(1) Crankcase emission control sys-tem
(2) Evaporative emission control sys- tem
(3) Exhaust emission control systemIn order to ensure the proper func-
tion of the emission control systems,
it is recommended that you have
your vehicle inspected and main-
tained by an authorized HYUNDAIdealer in accordance with the main-
tenance schedule in this manual. For the Inspection and
Maintenance Test (with Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system)
To prevent the vehicle from mis-
firing during dynamometer test-
ing, turn the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system off by
pressing the ESC switch (ESCOFF light illuminated).
After dynamometer testing is completed, turn the ESC system
back on by pressing the ESC
switch again.1. Crankcase Emission Control
System
The positive crankcase ventilation
system is employed to prevent air
pollution caused by blow-by gases
being emitted from the crankcase.This system supplies fresh filtered air
to the crankcase through the air
intake hose. Inside the crankcase,
the fresh air mixes with blow-by
gases, which then pass through the
PCV valve into the induction system.
2. Evaporative EmissionControl System Including
Onboard Refueling Vapor
Recovery (ORVR)
The Evaporative Emission Control
System is designed to prevent fuel
vapors from escaping into the atmos-
phere. The ORVR system is
designed to allow the vapors fromthe fuel tank to be loaded into a can-ister while refueling at the gas sta-
tion, preventing the escape of fuel
vapors into the atmosphere.
