WARNING
Performing maintenance work on a
vehicle can be dangerous. If you lack
sufficient knowledge and experience
or the proper tools and equipment
to do the work, we recommend that
the system be serviced by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer. ALWAYS follow
these precautions for performing
maintenance work:
[ 3 D U N \ R X U Y H K L F O H R Q O H Y H O J U R X Q G
move the shift lever into the P (Park,
for automatic transmission/dual
clutch transmission vehicle) position,
apply the parking brake, and place
the ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF
position.
[ % O R F N W K H W \ U H V I U R Q W D Q G E D F N W R
prevent the vehicle from moving.
Remove loose clothing or jewellery
that can become entangled in
moving parts.

materials away from the battery and
fuel-related parts.The following lists are vehicle checks
and inspections that should be
performed by the owner or a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer at the frequencies
indicated to help ensure safe,
dependable operation of your vehicle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your dealer
as soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance vehicle
checks are generally not covered by
warranties and you may be charged for
labour, parts and lubricants used.
Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
[ Check the coolant level in the engine
coolant reservoir.
[ Check the windscreen washer fluid
level.
[ Check for low or under-inflated tyres.
[ Check the radiator and condenser.
Check if the front of the radiator and
condenser are clean and not blocked
with leaves, dirt or insects, etc.
If any of the above parts are extremely
dirty or you are not sure of their
condition, we recommend that
you contact a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.

Maintenance
Whilst 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
travelling 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 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 stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flashers.
[ Check the inflation pressures of all
tyres including the spare for tyres 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 windscreen washer spray and
wiper operation. Clean wiper blades
with a clean cloth dampened with
washer fluid.
[ Check headlight 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 bonnet
hinges.
[ Lubricate door and bonnet locks and
latches.
[ Lubricate door rubber weather strips.
[ Lubricate door checker
[ Check the air conditioning system.
[ Inspect and lubricate automatic
transmission linkage and controls.
[ Clean the battery and terminals.
[ Check the brake fluid level.

Maintenance
Dual clutch transmission fluid
(if equipped)
Inspect the dual clutch transmission
fluid according to the maintenance
schedule.
% U D N H K R V H V D Q G O L Q H V
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and any
leakage. Replace any deteriorated or
damaged parts immediately.
% U D N H F O X W F K I O X L G L I H T X L S S H G
Check brake/clutch fluid level in the
brake fluid reservoir. The level should
be between “MIN” (Minimum) and
“MAX” (Maximum) marks on the side
of the reservoir. Use only hydraulic
brake/clutch fluid conforming to DOT 4
specification.
Parking brake
Inspect the parking brake system
including the parking brake lever and
cables.
Rear brake drums and linings
(if equipped)
Check the rear brake drums and linings
for scoring, burning, leaking fluid,
broken parts, and excessive wear.
% U D N H S D G V F D O L S H U V D Q G U R W R U V
Check the pads for excessive wear, discs
for run out and wear, and calipers for
fluid leakage.
For more information on checking the
pads or lining wear limit, refer to the
HYUNDAI web site.
(http://service.hyundai-motor.com)
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 engine
off, check for excessive free-play 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/
compressor
Check the air conditioning lines and
connections for leakage and damage.

Maintenance
Checking the brake/clutch fluid
level
OBC3090016R
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the left
or right side of the reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap
and adding brake/clutch fluid, clean
the area around the reservoir cap
thoroughly to prevent brake/clutch 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 a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.

Do not allow brake/clutch fluid to come
in contact with your eyes. If brake/
clutch fluid comes in contact with
your eyes, flush your eyes with clean
water for at least 15 minutes and get
immediate medical attention.

Checking the washer fluid level
OBC3090017
Check the fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir and add fluid if necessary.
Plain water may be used if washer fluid
is not available.
However, use washer solvent with
antifreeze characteristics in cold
climates to prevent freezing.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death, take
the following safety precautions when
using washer fluid:
[ ' R Q R W X V H H Q J L Q H F R R O D Q W R U
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir. Engine coolant can
severely obscure visibility when
sprayed on the windscreen and may
cause loss of vehicle control resulting
in an accident or damage to paint
and body trim.
[ ' R Q R W D O O R Z V S D U N V R U I O D P H V W R
contact the washer fluid or the
washer fluid reservoir. Washer fluid
may contain alcohol and can be
flammable.
[ ' R Q R W G U L Q N Z D V K H U I O X L G D Q G D Y R L G
contact with skin. Washer fluid is
poisonous to humans and animals.
[ . H H S Z D V K H U I O X L G D Z D \ I U R P F K L O G U H Q
and animals.
Checking the parking brake
OBC3060005
Check the stroke of the parking brake by
counting the number of “clicks’’ heard
whilst fully applying it from the released
position.
Also, the parking brake alone should
securely hold the vehicle on a fairly
steep grade. If the stroke is more or
less than specified, we recommend that
the system be inspected by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
Stroke : 5~7 “clicks’’ at a force of 20 kg
(44 lbs, 196 N).
