indicated to help ensure safe, depend-
able operation of your vehicle.
Any adverse conditions should be

transaxle/dual clutch trans-
mission vehicle) position,
apply the parking brake, place
the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position.
(Continued)WARNING (Continued)
•Block the tyres (front and
back) to prevent the vehicle
from moving.

ellery that can become entan-
gled in moving parts.
• 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

Maintenance
Vapour hose and fuel filler cap
The vapour hose and fuel filler cap
should be inspected at those inter-
vals specified in the maintenance
schedule. Make sure that a new
vapour hose or fuel filler cap is cor-
rectly replaced.
Vacuum crankcase ventilation
hoses (if equipped)
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi-
dence of heat and/or mechanical
damage. Hard and brittle rubber,
cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and
excessive swelling indicate deterio-
ration. Particular attention should be
paid to examine those hose surfaces
nearest to high heat sources, such
as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure
that the hoses do not come in con-
tact with any heat source, sharp
edges or moving component which
might cause heat damage or
mechanical wear. Inspect all hose
connections, such as clamps and
couplings, to make sure they are
secure, and that no leaks are pres-
ent. Hoses should be replaced
immediately if there is any evidence
of deterioration or damage.
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 authorised
repairer.
Cooling system
Check the cooling system parts, such
as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses
and connections for leakage and dam-
age. Replace any damaged parts.
Engine coolant
The coolant should be changed at
the intervals specified in the mainte-
nance schedule.
Automatic transaxle fluid
Automatic transaxle fluid should not
be checked under normal usage
conditions. We recommend that the
automatic transaxle fluid changed by
a HYUNDAI authorised repairer
according to the maintenance sched-
ule.
Information
Automatic transaxle fluid colour 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 colour.
i
Do not disconnect and inspect
spark plugs when the engine is
hot. You may burn yourself.

Maintenance
WASHER FLUID
Checking the washer fluid
level
The reservoir is translucent so that
you can check the level with a quick
visual inspection.
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.Do not use engine coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.
Checking the parking brake
Check the stroke of the parking
brake by counting the number of
“clicks’’ heard whilst fully applying it
from the released position. Also, the
parking brake alone should securely
hold the vehicle on a fairly steep
grade. If the stroke is more or less
than specified, we recommend that
the system be serviced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Stroke : 5~6 “clicks’’ at a force of
20 kg (44 lbs, 196 N).

BATTERY
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
petroleum 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 battery cables.
Information - For batteries
marked with UPPER and
LOWER
If your vehicle is equipped with a bat-
tery marked with LOWER (MIN) and
UPPER (MAX) on the side, you
should check the electrolyte level.
The electrolyte level should be
between LOWER (MIN) and UPPER
(MAX). When the electrolyte level is
low, add distilled (or de-mineralised)
water. (Never add sulfuric acids or
other electrolyte). (continued)(continued)
Be careful not to spill distilled (or de-
mineralised) water over the battery
surface or other adjacent components.
Also, do not overfill the battery cells.
If not, it may corrode the battery or
other components. Finally, securely
close the cell cap. However, we recom-
mend you to contact a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer for better battery
service.i
