Air cleaner filter
Have 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 out foreign substances 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
The coolant should be changed at the
intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule.
Engine coolant/water-cooled
intercooler 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.
Have the automatic transmission fluid
be changed by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer according to the maintenance
schedule.
Information
Automatic transmission fluid color is red
when new.
As the vehicle is driven, the automatic
transmission fluid will begin to look
darker.
This is a normal condition. It does not
need to be replaced based on the color
change.
NOTICE
The use of a non-specified fluid could
result in transmission malfunction and
failure.
Use only specified automatic
transmission fluid. (Refer to
“Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities” section in chapter 2.)
Dual clutch transmission fluid (if
equipped)
Inspect the dual clutch transmission fluid
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 lever and
cables.

Filter replacement
OTMA090007
The air cleaner filter can be cleaned for
inspection using compressed air. Do not
attempt to wash or to rinse it, as water
will damage the filter. If soiled, the air
cleaner filter must be replaced.
OTMA090008
1. Pull up the air cleaner filter cover (1).
OTMA090023
2. Wipe the inside of the air cleaner.
3. Pull down the lever to the UNLOCK (2)
position.
OTMA090024
4. Replace the air cleaner filter.
5. Reassemble the air cleaner cover in
the reverse order.
Information
If the vehicle is operated in extremely
dusty or sandy areas, replace the element
more often than the usual recommended
intervals (refer to “Maintenance Under
Severe Usage Conditions” in this chapter).
NOTICE

[Do not drive with the air cleaner filter
removed. This will result in excessive
engine wear.

[When removing the air cleaner filter,
be careful that dust or dirt does not
enter the air intake, or damage may
result.

[Use HYUNDAI genuine parts or the
equivalent specified for your vehicle.
Use of non-genuine parts could
damage the air flow sensor.

Filter inspection
The cabin air filter should be replaced
according to the Maintenance Schedule.
If the vehicle is operated in severely air-
polluted cities or on dusty rough roads
for a long period, it should be inspected
more frequently and replaced sooner.
Replace the cabin air filter by following
the procedure below and be careful to
avoid damaging other components.

The emission control system of your
vehicle is covered by a written limited
warranty. Please see the warranty
information contained in the Owner’s
Handbook & Warranty Information
booklet in your vehicle.
Your vehicle is equipped with an
emission control system to meet all
applicable emission regulations. There
are three emission control systems, as
follows.
(1) Crankcase emission control system
(2) Evaporative emission control system
(3) Exhaust emission control system
In order to ensure the proper function
of the emission control systems, it
is recommended that you have your
vehicle inspected and maintained
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer in
accordance with the maintenance
schedule in this manual.
NOTICE
For the Inspection and Maintenance
Test (with Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system)

[To prevent the vehicle from misfiring
during dynamometer testing, turn
the Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system off by pressing the ESC
switch (ESC OFF light illuminated).

[After dynamometer testing is
completed, turn the ESC system back
on by pressing the ESC switch again.
1. Crankcase emission control
system
The positive crankcase ventilation system
is employed to prevent air pollution
caused by blow-by gases being emitted
from the crankcase. This system supplies
fresh filtered air to the crankcase through
the air intake hose. Inside the crankcase,
the fresh air mixes with blow-by gases,
which then pass through the PCV valve
into the induction system.
2. Evaporative Emission Control
System Including Onboard
Refueling Vapor Recovery
(ORVR)
The Evaporative Emission Control System
is designed to prevent fuel vapors from
escaping into the atmosphere. The
ORVR system is designed to allow the
vapors from the fuel tank to be loaded
into a canister while refueling at the gas
station, preventing the escape of fuel
vapors into the atmosphere.
Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel
tank are absorbed and stored in the
onboard canister. When the engine is
running, the fuel vapors absorbed in the
canister are drawn into the surge tank
through the purge control solenoid valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve
is controlled by the Engine Control
Module (ECM); when the engine coolant
temperature is low during idling, the
PCSV closes so that evaporated fuel
is not taken into the engine. After the
engine warms-up during ordinary
driving, the PCSV opens to introduce
evaporated fuel to the engine.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

9-77
Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter emission control device.
To prevent damage to the catalytic
converter and to your vehicle, take the
following precautions:

[Use only UNLEADED FUEL for
gasoline engines.

[Do not operate the vehicle when
there are signs of engine malfunction,
such as misfire or a noticeable loss of
performance.

[Do not misuse or abuse the engine.
Examples of misuse are coasting with
the engine off and descending steep
grades in gear with the engine off.

[Do not operate the engine at high
idle speed for extended periods (5
minutes or more).

[Do not modify or tamper with any
part of the engine or emission
control system. Have all inspections
and adjustments are made by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

[Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level.
Running out of fuel could cause the
engine to misfire, damaging the
catalytic converter.Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF)
(if equipped)
Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF) system
removes the soot in the exhaust gas.
The GPF system automatically burns
(or oxidizes) the accumulated soot in
accordance with driving situations,
unlike a disposable air filter.
In other words, the accumulated soot is
automatically purged out by the engine
control system and by the high exhaust-
gas temperature at normal/ high driving
speeds. However, when the vehicle is
continually driven at repeated short
distances or driven at low speed for a
long time, the accumulated soot may
not be automatically removed because
of low exhaust gas temperature. In this
case, the accumulated soot may reach
a certain amount regardless of the soot
oxidization process, then the GPF lamp
(
) will illuminate.
The Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF)
lamp stops illuminating, when the
driving speed exceeds 50 mph (80 km/h)
with engine rpm 1,500 ~ 4,000 and the
gear in the 3rd position or above for
approximately 30 minutes.
When the GPF lamp starts to blink or
the warning message “Check exhaust
system” pops up even though the vehicle
was driven as mentioned above, have the
GPF system checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
With GPF lamp blinking for an extended
period of time, it may damage the GPF
system and lower the fuel economy.
CAUTION
We recommend you to use only the
regulated gasoline fuels, when your
vehicle is equipped with the GPF
system.
When you use other gasoline fuels
which contain unspecified additives,
they may damage the GPF system and
cause exhaust emission problems.
