Follow Normal Maintenance Schedule if the vehicle is usually operated where none of
the following conditions apply. If any of the following conditions apply, you must follow
the Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions.

[Repeatedly driving short distance of less than 5 miles (8 km) in normal temperature
or less than 10 miles (16 km) in freezing temperature

[ Extensive engine idling or low speed driving for long distances

[ Driving on rough, dusty, muddy, unpaved, graveled or salt-spread roads

[ Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive materials or in very cold weather

[ Driving in heavy dust conditions

[ Driving in heavy traffic area

[ Driving on uphill, downhill, or mountain road repeatedly

[ Towing a trailer or using a camper, or driving with loads on the roof

[ Driving as a patrol car, taxi, other commercial use of vehicle towing

[ Frequently driving under high speed or rapid acceleration/deceleration.

[ Frequently driving in stop-and-go condition

[ Engine oil usage which is not recommended (Mineral type, Semi-synthetic, Lower
grade spec, etc.)
If your vehicle is operated in any of the prior listed conditions, you should inspect,
replace or refill more frequently, using the severe usage maintenance schedule instead
of the normal usage maintenance schedule.
NOTICE
After 10 years or 100,000 miles, we recommend to use severe maintenance
schedule.

Information

[ As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving, the engine oil level should
be checked on regular basis.

[ The engine oil change interval for normal operating conditions is based on the use of
the recommended engine specification. If the recommended engine oil specification
is not used, then replace the engine oil according to the maintenance schedule under
severe operating conditions.

[ The vehicle may be equipped with the Oil Life Management System that predicts
engine oil life based on the driver’s driving history and alerts the driver to change
engine oil.
- If the deterioration of the engine oil increases depending on the driver’s driving
severity, the remaining oil life alert appears on the instrument cluster before the
normal engine oil replacement interval. Have the engine oil and filter changed by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
- Oil Life Management System works when the recommended engine oil is used.
So, if recommended engine oil is not used, replace the engine oil according to the
maintenance schedule under severe usage condition. Also, check the amount of
engine oil regularly as this system assumes that the engine oil is being filled normally.
- Always reset the remaining engine oil life whenever the engine oil is changed.
Otherwise, the indication of remaining Oil life in the Oil Life Management System
may not be accurate. To reset the Oil Life Management System, select ‘RESET’ from
the infotainment system screen. Then, select ‘Yes’ when the message “Has the engine
oil been changed? Press [Yes] to reset the oil life.” appears on the screen.
- If there is no alert until the maximum maintenance interval, have the vehicle
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
