Maintenance
9-6
While 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 looseness in the
steering wheel, or change in its
straight-ahead position.
• Notice if your vehicle constantly turns
slightly or “pulls” to one side when
traveling 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 intelligent variable
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 brake lights, turn
signals and hazard warning flashers.
• Check the inflation pressures of all
tires including the spare for tires 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
conditioning hoses for leaks or
damage.
• Check windshield washer spray and
wiper operation. Clean wiper blades
with a clean cloth dampened with
washer a fluid.
• Check headlamp alignment.
• Check muffler, exhaust pipes, shields
and clamps.
• Check the seat belts for wear and
function.
At least once a year:
• Clean body and door drain holes.
• Lubricate door hinges and hood
hinges.
• Lubricate door and hood locks and
latches.
• Lubricate door rubber weather strips.
• Lubricate door checker.
• Check the air conditioning system.
• Inspect and lubricate intelligent
variable transmission linkage and
controls.
• Clean the battery and terminals.
• Check the brake fluid level.

Maintenance
9-14
Engine Coolant
The coolant should be changed at the
intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule.
Manual Transmission Fluid
(if equipped)
Inspect the manual transmission fluid
according to the maintenance schedule.
Intelligent variable transmission
fluid (if equipped)
Intelligent variable transmission fluid
should not be checked under normal
usage conditions.
We recommend that the Intelligent
variable transmission fluid is changed by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer according
to the maintenance schedule.
Dual clutch transmission fluid (if
equipped)
Dual clutch transmission fluid should
not be checked under normal usage
conditions.
We recommend that the Intelligent
variable transmission fluid is changed by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer according
to the maintenance schedule.
Brake Hoses and Lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and any
leakage. Replace any deteriorated 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 conforming to DOT
4 specification..
Parking Brake
Inspect the parking brake system
including the parking brake pedal and
cables.
Brake Discs, Pads, Calipers and
Rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear, discs
for run out and wear, and calipers for
fluid leakage.
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 engine
off, check for excessive freeplay in the
steering wheel. Check the linkage for
bends or damage. 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
9-20
Checking the Brake/Clutch Fluid
Level
OCN7080006OCN7080006
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the side
of the reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap and
adding brake fluid, clean the area around
the reservoir cap thoroughly to prevent
brake fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add 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 system be checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
