How to Disconnect the (-)
Cable for Regular Maintenance
(Hybrid vehicle)
When the vehicle is under regular
maintenance, make sure to separate
the (-) cable before maintenance.
Separate the (-) cable following the
below instructions.
1. Fold the rear left side seat.
2. Remove the service cover (A) onthe luggage trim.
3. Separate the (-) cable (B).
Reassemble in the reverse order.
Owner Maintenance Schedule
When you stop for fuel:
• Check the engine oil level.
Check the coolant level in the engine coolant reservoir.
Check the windshield washer fluid level.
Check for low or under-inflated tires.
While operating your vehicle:
Note any changes in the sound ofthe 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 loose-
ness in the steering wheel, or
change in its straight-ahead posi-
tion.
Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or "pulls" to one side
when traveling 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 operation of your transmission
occurs, check the transmission
fluid level.
Check the dual clutch transmission P (Park) function.
Check the parking brake.
Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).
Be careful when checking your
engine coolant/inverter 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
At least monthly:
Check coolant level in the enginecoolant reservoir.
Check the operation of all exterior lights, including the brake lights,
turn signals and hazard warning
flashers.
Check the inflation pressures of all tires including the spare for tires
that are worn, show uneven wear,
or are damaged.
Check for loose wheel lug nuts.
At least twice a year: (i.e., every Spring and Fall)
Check radiator, heater and air con-
ditioning hoses for leaks or dam-
age.
Check windshield washer spray and wiper operation. Clean wiper
blades with a clean cloth damp-
ened with washer fluid.
Check headlamp alignment.
Check muffler, exhaust pipes, shields and clamps.
Check the seat belts for wear and function.
At least once a year:
Clean body and door drain holes.
Lubricate door hinges and hoodhinges.
Lubricate door and hood locks and latches.
Lubricate door rubber weather strips.
Lubricate door checker.
Check the air conditioning system.
Inspect and lubricate transmission linkage and controls.
Clean the battery and terminals.
Check the brake fluid level. Follow Normal Maintenance Schedule
if the vehicle is usually operated where
none of the following conditions apply.
If any of the following conditions apply,
you must follow the Maintenance
Under Severe Usage Conditions.
Repeated short distance driving.
Driving in dusty conditions or
sandy areas.
Extensive use of brakes.
Driving in areas where salt or other corrosive materials are used.
Driving on rough or muddy roads.
Driving in mountainous areas.
Extended periods of idling or low speed operation.
Driving for a prolonged period in cold temperatures and/or extreme-

Maintenance
Recommended coolant
When adding coolant, use onlydistilled (deionized) water for your
vehicle and never mix hard water in
the coolant filled at the factory.
An improper coolant mixture can result in severe malfunction or
engine/ hybrid system damage.
The engine in your vehicle has alu- minum engine parts and must be
protected by an phosphate-based
ethylene glycol coolant to prevent
corrosion and freezing.
Do not use alcohol or methanol coolant or mix them with the spec-
ified coolant.
Do not use a solution that contains more than 60% antifreeze or less
than 35% antifreeze, which would
reduce the effectiveness of the
solution. For mixing percentage, refer to the
following table:
Information
If in doubt about the mix ratio, a 50%
water and 50% antifreeze mix is the
easiest to mix together as it will be the
same quantity of each. It is suitable to
use for most temperature ranges of
-31°F (-35 °C) and higher.
Changing Coolant
Have coolant changed by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer according to
the Maintenance Schedule at the
beginning of this chapter.
To prevent damage to engine
parts, put a thick towel around the
radiator cap before refilling the
coolant to prevent the coolant
from overflowing into engine
parts, such as the alternator.

Do not use engine coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.
Engine coolant can severely
obscure visibility when sprayed
on the windshield and may
cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
Engine coolant may also cause
damage to paint and body trim.
WARNING

Maintenance
Do not allow brake fluid to con-tact the vehicle’s body paint, as
paint damage will result.
Brake fluid, which has been exposed to open air for an
extended time should NEVER be
used as its quality cannot be
guaranteed. It should be dis-
posed of properly.
Do not use the wrong kind of brake fluid. A few drops of miner-
al based oil, such as engine oil, in
your brake system can damage
brake system parts.
Information
Use only the specified brake fluid
(refer to "Recommended Lubricants
and Capacities" in chapter 8).
Checking the Washer Fluid
Level
Check the fluid level in the washer
fluid reservoir and add fluid if neces-
sary. Plain water may be used if
washer fluid is not available.
However, use washer solvent with
antifreeze characteristics in cold cli-
mates to prevent freezing.

To prevent serious injury or
death, take the following safety
precautions when using washer
fluid:
Do not use engine coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.
Engine coolant can severely
obscure visibility when
sprayed on the windshield and
may cause loss of vehicle con-
trol resulting in an accident or
damage to paint and body trim.
Do not allow sparks or flames
to contact the washer fluid or
the washer fluid reservoir.
Washer fluid may contain alco-
hol and can be flammable.
Do not drink washer fluid and
avoid contact with skin.
Washer fluid is harmful to
humans and animals.
Keep washer fluid away from
children and animals.

Blade Inspection
Contamination of either the wind-
shield or the wiper blades with for-
eign matter can reduce the effective-
ness of the windshield wiper func-
tionality. Common sources of con-
tamination are insects, tree sap, and
hot wax treatments used by some
commercial car washes. If the blades
are not wiping 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
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windshield diffi-
cult 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.
