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.

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 assure 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 a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
Spark plugs
(for petrol engine)
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.
WARNING
Do not disconnect and inspect spark
plugs when the engine is hot. You may
burn yourself.
Cooling system
Check the cooling system parts, 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.
Manual transmission fluid/iMT
system actuator fluid
(if equipped)
Inspect the Manual transmission fluid/
iMT system actuator fluid according to
the maintenance schedule.
Automatic transmission fluid
(if equipped)
Automatic transmission fluid should
not be checked under normal usage
conditions.
We recommend that the automatic
transmission fluid is changed by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer according
to the maintenance schedule.

We recommend that you consult with a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer to replace
most vehicle light bulbs. It is difficult
to replace vehicle light bulbs because
other parts of the vehicle must be
removed before you can get to the bulb.
This is especially true for removing the
headlight assembly to get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installing the headlight
assembly can result in damage to the
vehicle.
WARNING
Prior to replacing a light, depress the
foot brake, move the shift lever into the
N (Neutral, for automatic transmission
vehicle) or neutral (for manual
transmission vehicle), apply the parking
brake, place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position, and take the key
with you when leaving the vehicle to
avoid sudden movement of the vehicle
and to prevent possible electric shock.
