When you stop for fuel:
[ Check the coolant level in the engine
coolant reservoir or the water-cooled
intercooler coolant reservoir.
[ Check the windshield washer fluid
level.
[ Check for low or under-inflated tires.
WARNING
Be careful when checking your coolant
level when the engine is hot. This may
result in coolant being blown out of the
opening and cause serious burns and
other injuries.
While 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
traveling 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 automatic transmission P
(Park) function.
[ 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
tires including the spare for tires that
are worn, show uneven wear, or are
damaged.
[ Check for loose wheel lug nuts.
At least twice a year: (for example,
every Spring and Autumn)
[ Check radiator, heater and air
conditioning hoses for leaks or
damage.
[ Check windshield washer spray and
wiper operation. Clean wiper blades
with a clean cloth dampened with
washer fluid.
[ Check headlight alignment.

and clamps.

function.

Information
[ A normally functioning lamp may
flicker momentarily to stabilize the
vehicle’s electrical control system.
However, if the lamp goes out after
flickering momentarily, or continues to
flicker, have the system be checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
[ The position lamp may not turn on
when the position lamp switch is turned
on, but the position lamp and headlight
switch may turn on when the headlight
switch is turned on. This may be caused
by network failure or vehicle electrical
control system malfunction. If this
occurs, have the system be checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
The headlight aiming should be adjusted
after an accident or after the headlight
assembly is reinstalled.
Information
Traffic Change (For Europe)
The low beam light distribution is
asymmetric. If you go abroad to a country
with opposite traffic direction, this
asymmetric part will dazzle oncoming car
driver. To prevent dazzle, ECE regulation
demand several technical solutions (ex.
automatic change system, adhesive
sheet, down aiming). This headlights are
designed not to dazzle opposite drivers. So,
you need not change your headlights in a
country with opposite traffic direction.
