OWNER MAINTENANCE
The following lists are vehicle checks
and inspections that should be per-
formed by the owner or a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer at the frequencies
indicated to help ensure safe, depend-
able operation of your vehicle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your dealer
as soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance vehicle
checks are generally not covered by
warranties and you may be charged
for labour, parts and lubricants used. Performing maintenance work
on a vehicle can be dangerous.
If you lack sufficient knowledge
and experience or the proper
tools and equipment to do the
work, we recommend that the
system be serviced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
ALWAYS follow these precau-
tions for performing mainte-
nance work:
•Park your vehicle on level
ground, move the shift lever
into the P (Park, for automatic
transmission vehicle) position
or neutral (for manual trans-
mission vehicle) position,
apply the parking brake, and
place the ignition switch in
the LOCK/ OFF position.
•Block the tyres (front and
back) to prevent the vehicle
from moving.
Remove loose clothing or jew-
ellery that can become entan-
gled in moving parts.
WARNING •If you must run the engine
during maintenance, do so
out doors or in an area with
plenty of ventilation.
•Keep flames, sparks, or smok-
ing materials away from the
battery and fuel-related parts.
Diesel Engine
Never manipulate or modify the
injection system whilst running
the diesel engine or within 30
seconds after turning OFF the
diesel engine. The high-pressure
pump, high-pressure pipes, rail,
and injectors are still subject to
high pressure immediately after
stopping the diesel engine.
When the fuel leakage vents out,
it may cause serious body injury.
Any people, who are implanted
with the artificial cardiac pace-
maker, should remain away from
the ECU or the wiring harness by
at least 30 cm, whilst running the
diesel engine. The high currents
of the electronic engine control
system produce a considerable
amount of magnetic fields.

Maintenance
Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the coolant level in the
engine coolant reservoir.
• Check the windscreen washer fluid
level.
• Check for low or under-inflated
tyres.
Whilst operating your vehicle:
• Note any changes in the sound of
the 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 position.
• Notice if your vehicle constantly turns
slightly or “pulls” to one side when
travelling 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 automatic 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).
At least monthly:
• Check coolant level in the engine
coolant reservoir.
• Check the operation of all exterior
lights, including the stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flashers.
• Check the inflation pressures of all
tyres including the spare for tyres
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 Autumn)
• Check radiator, heater and air condi-
tioning hoses for leaks or damage.
• Check windscreen 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. Be careful when checking your
engine 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.

Air cleaner filter
We recommend that the air cleaner
filter be replaced by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
Spark plugs
(for Petrol engine)
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.
Valve clearance
(for Petrol engine)
Inspect excessive valve noise and/or
engine vibration and adjust if neces-
sary. We recommend that the system
be serviced by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.
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

Information
Automatic transmission fluid colour is
red when new.
As the vehicle is driven, the automatic
transmission fluid will begin to look
darker.
This is a normal condition. It does not
need to be replaced based on the
colour change.
The use of a non-specified fluid
could result in transmission mal-
function and failure.
Use only specified automatic
transmission fluid.
