Maintenance
Dual clutch transmission fluid
The dual clutch transmission fluid
should be inspected according to the
intervals specified in the mainte-
nance schedule.
Engine clutch actuator fluid
The engine clutch actuator fluid level
should be inspected or replaced to
the intervals specified in the mainte-
nance schedule.
Brake hoses and lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and
any leakage. Replace any deteriorat-
ed or damaged parts immediately.
Brake fluid
Check the brake fluid level in the
brake fluid reservoir. The level should
be between the MIN and the MAX
marks on the side of the reservoir.
Use only hydraulic brake fluid con-
forming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifi-
cation.
Parking brake
Inspect the parking brake system
including the parking brake pedal
and cables.
Brake discs, pads, calipers
and rotors
Check the pads, the disc, and the
rotor for any excessive wear-out.
Inspect calipers for any fluid leakage.
Exhaust pipe and muffler
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes,
muffler and hangers for cracks, dete-
rioration, or damage. Start the
engine and listen carefully for any
exhaust gas leakage. Tighten con-
nections or replace parts as neces-
sary.
Suspension mounting bolts
Check the suspension connections
for looseness or damage. Retighten
to the specified torque.
Steering gear box, linkage &
boots/lower arm ball joint
With the vehicle stopped and the
hybrid system off, check for exces-
sive free-play in the steering wheel.
Check the linkage for bends or dam-
age. Check the dust boots and ball
joints for deterioration, cracks, or
damage.
Replace any damaged parts.
Drive shafts and boots
Check the drive shafts, boots and
clamps for cracks, deterioration, or
damage. Replace any damaged
parts and, if necessary, repack the
grease.
Air conditioning refrigerant
Check the air conditioning lines and
connections for leakage and damage.

Maintenance
If the level is low, add the specified
brake fluid to the MAX level. The level
will fall with accumulated mileage.
This is a normal condition associated
with the wear of the brake linings. If
the fluid level is excessively low, we
recommend that the brake system
be checked by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer. 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.
i
NOTICE
If the brake system requires fre-
quent additions of fluid this
could indicate a leak in the
brake system. We recommend
that the vehicle be inspected by
an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
Do not allow brake fluid to come
in contact with your eyes. If
brake fluid comes in contact
with your eyes, flush your eyes
with clean water for at least 15
minutes and get immediate
medical attention.

1. Loosen the air cleaner cover
attaching clips and open the cover.2. Wipe the inside of the air cleaner.
3. Replace the air cleaner filter.
4. Lock the cover with the cover
attaching clips.
5. Check that the cover is firmly
installed.
Information
If the vehicle is operated in extremely
dusty or sandy areas, replace the air
cleaner filter more often than the
usual recommended intervals (Refer
to “Maintenance Under Severe Usage
Conditions” in this chapter).
Do not drive with the air cleaner
filter removed. This will result in
excessive engine wear.
When removing the air cleaner
filter, be careful that dust or dirt
does not enter the air intake, or
damage may result.
Use HYUNDAI genuine parts.
Use of non-genuine parts could
damage the air flow sensor.

4. Tyre ply composition and
material
The number of layers or plies of rub-
ber-coated fabric in the tyre. Tyre
manufacturers also must indicate the
materials in the tyre, which include
steel, nylon, polyester, and others.
The letter "R" means radial ply con-
struction; the letter "D“ means diago-
nal or bias ply construction; and the
letter "B" means belted-bias ply con-
struction.
5. Maximum permissible infla-
tion pressure
This number is the greatest amount
of air pressure that should be put in
the tyre. Do not exceed the maximum
permissible inflation pressure. Refer
to the Tyre and Loading Information
label for recommended inflation
pressure.
6. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maximum
load in kilograms and pounds that
can be carried by the tyre. When
replacing the tyres on the vehicle,
always use a tyre that has the same
load rating as the factory installed
tyre.
7. Uniform tyre quality grading
Quality grades can be found where
applicable on the tyre sidewall
between tread shoulder and maxi-
mum section width.
For example:
TREADWEAR 200
TRACTION AA
TEMPERATURE A
Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a compara-
tive rating based on the wear rate of
the tyre when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified govern-
ment test course. For example, a tyre
graded 150 would wear one-and-a-
half times (1½) as well on the gov-
ernment course as a tyre graded
100.
The relative performance of tyres
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 tyres.
The tyres available as standard or
optional equipment on your vehicle
may vary with respect to grade.

Maintenance
Low aspect ratio tyres
The aspect ratio is lower than 50 on
low aspect ratio tyres.
Because low aspect ratio tyres are
optimised for handling and braking,
their sidewall is a little stiffer than a
standard tyre. Also low aspect ratio
tyres tend to be wider and conse-
quently have a greater contact patch
with the road surface. In some
instances they may generate more
road noise compared with standard
tyres.The side wall of a low aspect
ratio tyre is shorter than the
nor- mal one. Thus, the low-
aspect wheel and tyre are easily
dam- aged. Follow the below
instructions.
When driving on a rough road
or driving off a road, be care-
ful not to damage the tyres
and wheels. After driving,
inspect the tyres and wheels.
When passing over a pothole,
speed bump, manhole, or kerb
stone, drive the vehicle slowly
so as not to damage the tyres
and wheels.
When there is an impact on a
tyre, inspect the tyre condi-
tion. Or, contact an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)
CAUTION(Continued)
Inspect the tyre condition and
pressure every 3,000 km
(1,800 miles) to prevent a tyre
damage.
It is difficult to recognise a tyre
damage only with your eyes.
When there is a slight hint of a
tyre damage, check and
replace the tyre to prevent the
damage caused by air leakage.
When a tyre is damaged
whilst driving on a rough
road, off a road, or over obsta-
cles, such as a pothole, man-
hole, or kerb stone, your war-
ranty does not cover the dam-
age.
The tyre information is speci-
fied on the tyre side wall.

High-corrosion areas
If you live in an area where your vehi-
cle is regularly exposed to corrosive
materials, corrosion protection is
particularly important. Some of the
common causes of accelerated cor-
rosion are road salts, dust control
chemicals, ocean air and industrial
pollution.
Moisture breeds corrosion
Moisture creates the conditions in
which corrosion is most likely to
occur. For example, corrosion is
accelerated by high humidity, partic-
ularly when temperatures are just
above freezing. In such conditions,
the corrosive material is kept in con-
tact with the vehicle surfaces by
moisture that is slow to evaporate.
Mud is particularly corrosive because
it is slow to dry and holds moisture in
contact with the vehicle. Although the
mud appears to be dry, it can still
retain moisture and promote corro-
sion.
High temperatures can also acceler-
ate corrosion of parts that are not
properly ventilated so the moisture
can be dispersed. For all these rea-
sons, it is particularly important to
keep your vehicle clean and free of
mud or accumulations of other mate-
rials. This applies not only to the vis-
ible surfaces but particularly to the
underside of the vehicle.
To help prevent corrosion
Keep your vehicle clean
The best way to prevent corrosion is
to keep your vehicle clean and free
of corrosive materials. Attention to
the underside of the vehicle is partic-
ularly important.
If you live in a high-corrosion area
— where road salts are used, near
the ocean, areas with industrial
pollution, acid rain, etc.—, you
should take extra care to prevent
corrosion. In winter, hose off the
underside of your vehicle at least
once a month and be sure to clean
the underside thoroughly when
winter is over.
