Air Cleaner Filter
We recommend that 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 installing new spark plugs, be sure
that the ignition coils are clean and free
of any oil or debris. Clean and wipe off
the bottom portion of the ignition coil in
order to prevent any contamination with
the spark plug during installation.
WARNING
Do not remove spark plugs from the
vehicle when the engine is hot. You
may damage the engine and may also
risk burn injury.
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.
Automatic Transmission Fluid
The automatic transmission fluid level
does not need to be checked under
normal usage conditions.
We recommend that 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.

Temperature - A, B & C
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B and C representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation
of heat and its ability to dissipate
heat when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life,
and excessive temperature can
lead to sudden tire failure. Grades
B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test
wheel than the minimum required
by law.
WARNING
The temperature grade for this
tire is established for a tire that
is properly inflated and not
overloaded. Excessive speed,
under-inflation, over-inflation, or
excessive loading, either separately
or in combination, can cause heat
build-up and possible sudden
tire failure. This may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
Tire Terminology and Definitions
Air pressure
The amount of air inside the tire pressing
outward on the tire. Air pressure is
expressed in pounds per square inch
(psi) or kilopascal (kPa).
Accessory weight
This means the combined weight of
optional accessories. Some examples
of optional accessories are automatic
transmission, power seats, and air
conditioning.
Aspect ratio
The relationship of a tire’s height to its
width.
Belt
A rubber coated layer of cords that is
located between the plies and the tread.
Cords may be made from steel or other
reinforcing materials.
Bead
The tire bead contains steel wires
wrapped by steel cords that hold the tire
onto the rim.
