If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
After sufficient cooling has been
achieved, switch back from the
recirculated air to the fresh outside air
position.
To help reduce moisture inside of
the windows on rainy or humid
days, decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle by operating the air
conditioning system with the windows
and sunroof closed.
Use the air conditioning system every
month for a few minutes to ensure
maximum system performance.
If you operate the air conditioner
excessively, the difference between
the temperature of the outside air and
that of the windshield could cause
the outer surface of the windshield to
fog up, causing loss of visibility. In this
case, set the mode selection knob to
the position and set the fan speed
control knob to the lowest speed
setting.

Cabin air filter
OIK047401L
[A] : Outside air, [B] : Recirculated air
[C] : Cabin air filter, [D] : Blower
[E] : Evaporator core, [F] : Heater core
The cabin air filter is installed behind
the glove box. It filters the dust or other
pollutants that enter the vehicle through
the heating and air conditioning system.
We recommend that the cabin air filter
be replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer according to the maintenance
schedule.
If the vehicle is being driven in severe
conditions such as dusty or rough roads,
more frequent climate control filter
inspections and changes are required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreases,
have the system checked at an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Requires API SN PLUS (or above) grade engine oil. If a lower grade engine oil is used, then the engine oil and engine oil filter must
be replaced at every 5,000 miles (8,000 km) or 6 months as indicated for severe maintenance condition.
*2 :
If TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is not available, one bottle of additive is recommended. Additives are available from your authorized
HYUNDAI dealer along with information on how to use them. Do not mix other additives.
*3 :
The drive belt should be replaced when cracks occur or tension is reduced excessively.
As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving, the amount of engine oil should be checked regularly.
The replacement cycle of engine oil is set by the period which the performance of our recommended engine oil is maintained. So, if
recommended engine oil is not used, a replacement is required as indicated severe usage condition.

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 conditions,
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
periodically for proper tension and
adjusted as necessary.
Information
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and damage.
We recommend an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer replace any damaged or leaking
parts immediately.
Fuel filter (for gasoline engine)
The fuel filter is considered to be
maintenance free but periodic inspection
is recommended for this maintenance
depends on fuel quality. If there are
some important matters like fuel flow
restriction, surging, loss of power, hard
starting problem etc., replace the fuel
filter immediately. Consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for details.
Vapor hose and fuel filler cap
The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should
be inspected at those intervals specified
in the maintenance schedule. Make sure
a new vapor hose or fuel filler cap is
correctly replaced.
Vacuum crankcase ventilation
hoses (if equipped)
Inspect the surface of hoses for evidence
of heat and/or mechanical damage.
Hard and brittle rubber, cracking,
tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessive
swelling indicate deterioration. 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 ensure that
the hoses do not come in contact 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 present.
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 an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Spark plugs
Make sure to install new spark plugs of
the correct heat range.
When assembling parts, be sure to
wipe the inside and outside of the boot
bottom of the ignition coil and the
insulator of the spark plug with a soft
cloth to prevent contamination of the
spark plug insulator.
