Maintenance
Bright-metal maintenance
To remove road tar and insects,
use a tar remover, not a scraper or
other sharp object.
To protect the surfaces of bright-
metal parts from corrosion, apply a
coating of wax or chrome preser-
vative and rub to a high luster.
During winter weather or in coastal
areas, cover the bright metal parts
with a heavier coating of wax or
preservative. If necessary, coat the
parts with non-corrosive petroleum
jelly or other protective compound.
Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials used for ice and
snow removal and dust control may
collect on the underbody. If these
materials are not removed, acceler-
ated rusting can occur on underbody
parts such as the fuel lines, frame,
floor pan and exhaust system, even
though they have been treated with
rust protection.Thoroughly flush the vehicle under-
body and wheel openings with luke-
warm or cold water once a month,
after off-road driving and at the end
of each winter. Pay special attention
to these areas because it is difficult
to see all the mud and dirt. It will do
more harm than good to wet down
the road grime without removing it.
The lower edges of doors, rocker
panels, and frame members have
drain holes that should not be
allowed to clog with dirt; trapped
water in these areas can cause rust-
ing.
Aluminium wheel maintenance
The aluminium wheels are coated
with a clear protective finish.
After washing the vehicle, test
the brakes whilst driving slowly
to see if they have been affected
by water. If braking performance
is impaired, dry the brakes by
applying them lightly whilst
maintaining a slow forward
speed.
WARNING
Do not use any abrasive
cleaner, polishing compound,
solvent, or wire brushes on
aluminium wheels.
Clean the wheel when it has
cooled.
Use only a mild soap or neu-
tral detergent, and rinse thor-
oughly with water. Also, be
sure to clean the wheels after
driving on salted roads.
Do not wash the wheels with
high-speed car wash brushes.
Do not use any cleanser con-
taining acid or alkaline deter-
gents.

Maintenance
Leather (if equipped)
Feature of Seat Leather
- Leather is made from the outer
skin of an animal, which goes
through a special process to be
available for use. Since it is a nat-
ural object, each part differs in
thickness or density.
Wrinkles may appear as a natural
result of stretching and shrinking
depending on the temperature
and humidity.
- The seat is made of stretchable
fabric to improve comfort.
- The parts contacting the body are
curved and the side supporting
area is high which provides driv-
ing comfort and stability.
- Wrinkles may appear naturally
from usage. It is not a fault of the
products. Caring for the leather seats
- Vacuum the seat periodically to
remove dust and sand on the
seat.
It will prevent abrasion or damage
of the leather and maintain its
quality.
- Wipe the natural leather seat
cover often with dry or soft cloth.
- Use of proper leather protective
may prevent abrasion of the
cover and helps maintain the
colour. Be sure to read the
instructions and consult a spe-
cialist when using leather coating
or protective agent.
- Light coloured (beige, cream
beige) leather is easily contami-
nated and the stain is noticeable.
Clean the seats frequently.
- Avoid wiping with wet cloth. It may
cause the surface to crack. Wrinkles or abrasions which
appear naturally from usage
are not covered by warranty.
Belts with metallic acces-
sories, zippers or keys inside
the back pocket may damage
the seat fabric.
Make sure not to wet the seat.
It may change the nature of
natural leather.
Jeans or clothes which could
bleach may contaminate the
surface of the seat covering
fabric.CAUTION

Maintenance
Diesel particulate filter (DPF)
(if equipped)
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
system removes the soot in the
exhaust gas. Unlike a disposable air
filter, the DPF system automatically
burns (oxidizes) and removes the
accumulated soot according to the
driving condition. In order words, the
active burning by the engine control
system and high exhaust gas tem-
perature caused by normal/high
speed diving condition burns and
removes the accumulated soot.
However, if the vehicle continues to
be driven at repeated short distance
or driven at low speed for a long time,
the accumulated soot may not be
automatically removed because of
low exhaust gas temperature. If more
than a certain amount of soot
deposited, the malfunction indicator
light( ) illuminates.
When the malfunction indicator light
illuminates, it may turn-off after driv-
ing the vehicle at more than 60km/h
(37 mph) or at more than second
gear with 1500~2500 engine rpm for
a certain time (for about 25 minutes).If the malfunction indicator light ( )
continues to blink or the warning mes-
sage “Check exhaust system” illumi-
nates in spite of the procedure, visit a
professional workshop and check the
DPF system. HUNDAI recommends to
visit an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
If you continue to drive with the mal-
function indicator light blinking for a
long time, the DPF system can be
damaged and fuel consumption can
be worsen and the engine durability
can be worsen by oil dilution.Diesel Fuel
(if equipped with DPF)
We recommend you to use only
the regulated diesel fuels, when
your vehicle is equipped with
the DPF system.
When you use other diesel fuels,
which is high in sulfurs (above
50 ppm) or contains unspecified
additives, it may damage the
DPF system and cause the white
smoke emission.
