Engine oil and filter
The engine oil and filter should be
changed at the intervals specified in
the maintenance schedule. If the
vehicle is being driven in severe con-
ditions, more frequent oil and filter
changes are required.
Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil
saturation and replace if necessary.
Drive belts should be checked peri-
odically for proper tension and
adjusted as necessary.
Fuel filter (cartridge)
A clogged-up fuel filter may limit the
vehicle driving speed, damage the
emission system, and cause hard
starting. When a considerable
amount of foreign substances are
accumulate in the fuel tank, the fuel
filter should be replaced.
Upon installing a new fuel filter, oper-
ate the diesel engine for several min-
utes, and check the connections for
any leakages. We recommend that
you have the fuel filter replaced by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and con-
nections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and dam-
age. We recommend that the fuel
lines, fuel hoses and connections be
replaced by an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer. When you are inspecting the
drive belt, place the ignition
switch to the LOCK/OFF or ACC
position.
CAUTION
Diesel Only
Never manipulate or modify the
injection system whilst running
the diesel engine or within 30
seconds after turning the diesel
engine OFF. The high-pressure
pump, high-pressure pipes, rail,
and injectors are still subject to
the high pressure right after
stopping the diesel engine.
When the fuel leakage vents
out, it may cause serious body
injury. Any people, who are
implemented with the artificial
cardiac pacemaker, 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
common rail system produce a
considerable amount of mag-
netic fields.

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
Cleaning the leather seats
- Remove all contaminations
instantly.
Refer to instructions below for
removal of each contaminant.
- Cosmetic products (sunscreen,
foundation, etc.)
Apply cleansing cream on a cloth
and wipe the contaminate spot.
Wipe off the cream with a wet
cloth and remove water with a dry
cloth.
- Beverages (coffee, soft drink,
etc.)
Apply a small amount of neutral
detergent and wipe until contami-
nations do not smear.
- Oil
Remove oil instantly with
absorbable cloth and wipe with
stain remover used only for natu-
ral leather.
- Chewing gum
Harden the gum with ice and
remove gradually.Cleaning the lap/shoulder belt
webbing
Clean the belt webbing with any mild
soap solution recommended for
cleaning upholstery or carpet. Follow
the instructions provided with the
soap. Do not bleach or re-dye the
webbing because this may weaken it.
Cleaning the interior window
glass
If the interior glass surfaces of the
vehicle become fogged (that is, cov-
ered with an oily, greasy or waxy
film), they should be cleaned with
glass cleaner. Follow the directions
on the glass cleaner container.
