Recommended SAE Viscosity Number
CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area around any filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick before
checking or draining any lubricant. This is especially important in dusty or sandy
areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug and dipstick
areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering the engine and other mechanisms that could be damaged.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather
operating (engine start and engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils can
provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using oils of any
viscosity other than those recommended could result in engine damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be operated
in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended oil viscosity from the chart.

Active Snow Mode (ASM) (if equipment)
When the vehicle recognizes frequent
wheel slips on low friction roads, Active
Snow Mode improves driving stability by minimizing these wheel slips.
Operating conditions
ASM is activated when all of the
following conditions are met:
[Low outside ambient temperature

[ Frequent Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) activation due to wheel slip
When operating
The vehicle's acceleration response is
reduced, which is similar to depressing
the accelerator pedal slowly.
Non-operating conditions
ASM is deactivated when one of the
following conditions or more are met:
[ Increase of outside ambient
temperature

[ The accelerator pedal is hardly
depressed

[ Driving in high speed (for example,
highway driving)
Limitation of SMART mode
The SMART mode may be limited in
following situations. (The OFF indicator
illuminates in those situations.)
[ The vehicle is driven using the paddle
shifter (manual shift mode) : SMART
mode is deactivated determining that
the driver wants to drive the vehicle
manually.

[ Cruise Control is activated : Cruise
Control may deactivate SMART mode
when the vehicle is controlled by the
set speed of Cruise Control. (SMART
mode is not deactivated just by
turning on Cruise Control).

[ The transmission oil temperature is either
extremely low or extremely high : The
SMART mode can be active in most of
the normal driving situations. However,
an extremely high/ low transmission oil
temperature may temporarily deactivate
the SMART mode, because the
transmission condition is out of normal
operation condition.

Winter Precautions
Use high quality ethylene glycol coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high
quality ethylene glycol coolant in the
cooling system. It is the only type of
coolant that should be used because it
helps prevent corrosion in the cooling
system, lubricates the water pump and
prevents freezing. Be sure to replace or
replenish your coolant in accordance
with the maintenance schedule in
chapter 9. Before winter, have your
coolant tested to assure that its freezing
point is sufficient for the temperatures
anticipated during the winter.
Check battery and cables
Winter temperatures affect battery
performance. Inspect the battery and
cables, as specified in chapter 9. The
battery charging level can be checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer or in a
service station.
Change to “winter weight” oil if necessary
In some regions during winter, it is
recommended to use the “winter
weight” oil with lower viscosity In
addition, replace the engine oil and filter
if it is close to the next maintenance
interval. Fresh engine oil ensures
optimum engine operation during the
winter months. For further information,
refer to chapter 2. When you are not sure
about a type of winter weight oil, you
consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. Check spark plugs and ignition system Inspect the spark plugs, as specified in
chapter 8.
If necessary, replace them.
Also check all ignition wirings and
components for any cracks, wear-out, and damage.
To prevent locks from freezing
To prevent the locks from being frozen,
spray approved de-icing fluid or glycerin
into key holes. When a lock opening is
already covered with ice, spray approved
de-icing fluid over the ice to remove it.
When an internal part of a lock freezes,
try to thaw it with a heated key. Carefully
use the heated key to avoid an injury.
Use approved window washer anti-
freeze solution in system
To prevent the window washer from
being frozen, add authorized window
washer anti-freeze solution, as specified
on the window washer container.
Window washer anti-freeze solution is
available from an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer, and most vehicle accessory
outlets. Do not use engine coolant or
other types of anti-freeze solution, to
prevent any damage to the vehicle paint.

grade spec, etc.)
If your vehicle is operated under the above conditions, you should inspect, replace
or refill more frequently than the following Normal Maintenance Schedule. After the
periods or distance shown in the chart, continue to follow the prescribed maintenance
intervals.
Information

[ 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 the
recommended engine oil is maintained. So, if recommended engine oil is not used,
replace the engine oil according to the maintenance schedule under severe usage conditions.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE SERVICES

Checking the Engine Oil Level
Engine oil is used for lubricating,
cooling, and operating various hydraulic
components in the engine. Engine oil
consumption while driving is normal,
and it is necessary to check and refill the
engine oil regularly. Also, check and refill
the oil level within the recommended
maintenance schedule to prevent
deterioration of oil performance.
Check the engine oil following the below
procedure.
1. Follow all of the oil manufacturer’s precautions.
2. Be sure the vehicle is on the level ground in P (Park) with the parking
brake set and the wheels blocked.
3. Turn the engine on and warm the engine up until the coolant
temperature reaches a constant
normal temperature.
4. Turn the engine off, remove the oil filler cap and pull the dipstick out.
Wait for 15 minutes for the oil to return
to the oil pan.
5. Wipe the dipstick clean and re-insert it fully.
OTMH090002
6. Pull the dipstick out again and check the level. The level should be between
F (Full) and L (Low).
OTMPH091012N
7. If the oil level is below L, add enough oil to bring the level to F.
Use only the specified engine oil (Refer
to “Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities” section in chapter 2).
NOTICE
To prevent damage to your engine:
[ Do not spill engine oil when adding
or changing engine oil. Wipe off
spilled oil immediately.

[ The engine oil consumption may
increase while you break in a new
vehicle and it will be stabilized after
driving 6,000 km (4,000 miles).

[ The engine oil consumption can be
affected by driving habits, climate
conditions, traffic conditions,
oil quality, etc. Therefore, it is
recommended that you inspect the
engine oil level regularly and refill it
if necessary.

[ Water washing in the engine compartment including high
pressure water washing may cause
the failure of electrical circuits
located in the engine compartment.

[ Never allow water or other liquids
to come in contact with electrical/
electronic components inside the
vehicle as this may damage them.
NOTICE
Matte paint finish vehicle (if equipped)
Automatic car wash which uses rotating
brushes should not be used as this can
damage the surface of your vehicle. A
steam cleaner which washes the vehicle
surface at high temperature may result
the oil to adhere and leave stains that is
difficult to remove.
Use a soft cloth (for example, microfiber
towel or sponge) when washing your
vehicle and dry with a microfiber towel.
When you hand wash your vehicle, you
should not use a cleaner that finishes
with wax. If the vehicle surface is too
dirty (sand, dirt, dust, contaminant,
etc.), clean the surface with water
before washing the car.
Waxing
A good coat of wax is a barrier between
your paint and contaminate. Keeping
a good coat of wax on your vehicle will
help protect it.
Wax the vehicle when water will no
longer bead on the paint.
Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing. Use a good quality liquid or
paste wax, and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. Wax all metal trim to protect
it and to maintain its luster.
Removing oil, tar, and similar materials
with a spot remover will usually strip the
wax from the finish. Be sure to re-wax
these areas even if the rest of the vehicle
does not yet need waxing.
NOTICE

[Wiping dust or dirt off the body with
a dry cloth will scratch the finish.

[ Do not use steel wool, abrasive
cleaners, or strong detergents
containing highly alkaline or
caustic agents on chrome-plated or
anodized aluminum parts. This may
result in damage to the protective
coating and cause discoloration or
paint deterioration.
NOTICE
Matte paint finish vehicle (if equipped)
Do not use any polish protector such as
a detergent, an abrasive and a polish.
In case wax is applied, remove the wax
immediately using a silicon remover
and if any tar or tar contaminant is on
the surface use a tar remover to clean.
However, be careful not to apply too
much pressure on the painted area.
