While operating your vehicle:
[
Note any changes in the sound of the
exhaust or any smell of exhaust fumes
in the vehicle.

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 automatic transmission P
(Park) function.

tires including the spare for tires that
are worn, show uneven wear, or are damaged.

Maintenance
9-12
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.
HSG (Hybrid Starter & Generator) Belt
The HSG belt should be changed at the
intervals specified in the maintenance schedule.
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
A clogged filter can limit the speed
at which the vehicle may be driven,
damage the emission system and cause
multiple issues such as hard starting. If
an excessive amount of foreign matter
accumulates in the fuel tank, the
filter may require replacement more
frequently. After installing a new filter,
run the engine for several minutes,
and check for leaks at the connections.
Fuel filters should be installed by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
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.
Air Cleaner Filter
A genuine HYUNDAI air cleaner filter
is recommended when the filter is
replaced.
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.
Cooling System
Check cooling system components, such
as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and
connections for leakage and damage.
Replace any damaged parts.
Engine Coolant/Inverter Coolant
The coolant should be changed at the
intervals specified in the maintenance schedule.
Automatic Transmission Fluid
Automatic transmission fluid should
not be checked under normal usage conditions.
We recommend that the automatic
transmission fluid is changed by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer according to
the maintenance schedule.
Engine Clutch Actuator Fluid
The engine clutch actuator fluid level
should be inspected or replaced to the
intervals specified in the maintenance schedule.
