Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
•	Check the coolant level in the engine 
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: 
•	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 headlamp 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 hood 
hinges.
•	 Lubricate door and hood locks and 
latches.
•	 Lubricate door rubber weather strips.
•	 Check the air conditioning system.
•	 Inspect and lubricate automatic 
transmission linkage and controls.
•	 Clean the battery and terminals.
•	 Check the brake fluid level.    

Maintenance
9-34
Battery recharging
By battery charger
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free, 
calcium-based battery.
•	If the battery becomes discharged 
over a short time (because, for 
example, the headlamps or interior 
lights were left on while the vehicle 
was not in use), recharge it by slow 
charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
•	 If the battery gradually discharges 
because of high electrical load while 
the vehicle is being used, recharge it 
at 20-30A for two hours.
 WARNING
Always follow these instructions when 
recharging your vehicle’s battery to 
avoid the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or 
DEATH from explosions or acid burns:
•	Before performing maintenance or 
recharging the battery, turn off all 
accessories and stop the engine.
•	 Keep all flames, sparks, or smoking 
materials away from the battery.
•	 Always work outdoors or in an area 
with plenty of ventilation.
•	 Wear eye protection when checking 
the battery during charging.
•	 The battery must be removed from 
the vehicle and placed in a well 
ventilated area.
•	 Watch the battery during charging, 
and stop or reduce the charging 
rate if the battery cells begin boiling 
violently.
•	The negative battery cable must 
be removed first and installed last 
when the battery is disconnected. 
Disconnect the battery charger in the 
following order:
1. Turn off the battery charger main 
switch.
2. Unhook the negative clamp from 
the negative battery terminal.
3. Unhook the positive clamp from 
the positive battery terminal.
•	 We recommend that you use 
batteries for replacement from an 
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
AGM battery (if equipped)
•	Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM) 
batteries are maintenance-free 
and we recommend that the AGM 
battery be serviced by an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer. For charging 
your AGM battery, use only fully 
automatic battery chargers that 
are specially developed for AGM 
batteries.
•	 When replacing the AGM battery, 
we recommend that you use parts 
for replacement from an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer.
•	 Do not open or remove the cap on 
top of the battery. This may cause 
leaks of internal electrolyte that 
could result in severe injury.

Instrument panel fuse 
replacement
Driver’s side

1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. Turn all other switches off.
3. Open the fuse panel cover.
4. Refer to the label on the inside of 
the fuse panel cover to locate the 
suspected fuse location.
ONX4090046
5. Pull the suspected fuse straight out. 
Use the removal tool (1) provided in 
the engine compartment fuses panel 
cover.
6. Check the removed fuse; replace it if 
it is blown. Spare fuses are provided in 
the instrument panel fuse panels (or in 
the engine compartment fuse panel).
7. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, 
and make sure it fits tightly in the 
clips. If it fits loosely, we recommend 
that you consult an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer.
In an emergency, if you do not have 
a spare fuse, use a fuse of the same 
rating from a circuit you may not need 
for operating the vehicle, such as the 
cigarette lighter fuse.
If the headlamps or other electrical 
components do not work and the fuses 
are undamaged, check the fuse panel 
in the engine compartment. If a fuse is 
blown, it must be replaced with the same 
rating.    

Maintenance
9-54
We recommend that you consult an 
authorized HYUNDAI dealer 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 
headlamp assembly to get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installing the headlamp 
assembly can result in damage to the 
vehicle.
 WARNING
•	Prior to working on a light, depress 
the foot brake, shift to P (Park), apply 
the parking brake, press the Engine 
Start/Stop button to the 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.
•	 Be aware the bulbs may be hot and 
may burn your fingers.
NOTICE
Be sure to replace the burned-out bulb 
with one of the same wattage rating. 
Otherwise, it may cause damage to the 
fuse or electrical wiring system.
NOTICE
To prevent damage, do not clean the 
headlamp lens with chemical solvents 
or strong detergents.
 Information - Headlamp 
desiccant (if equipped)
This vehicle is equipped with desiccant to 
reduce fogging inside the headlamp due 
to moisture. The desiccant is consumable 
and its performance may change based on 
the used period or environment. If fogging 
inside the headlamp due to moisture 
continues for a long time, we recommend 
that you consult an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer.
 Information
The headlamp and tail lamp lenses could 
appear frosty if the vehicle is washed after 
driving or the vehicle is driven at night 
in wet weather. This condition is caused 
by temperature difference between the 
lamp inside and outside and, it does not 
indicate a problem with your vehicle. 
When moisture condenses in the lamp, 
it will be removed after driving with the 
headlamp on. The removable level may 
differ depending on lamp size, lamp 
position and environmental condition. 
However, if moisture is not removed, we 
recommend that your vehicle is inspected 
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

 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, we recommend 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 headlamp 
switch may turn on when the headlamp 
switch is turned on. This may be caused 
by network failure or vehicle electrical 
control system malfunction. If this 
occurs, we recommend the system be 
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer.
 Information
The headlamp aiming should be adjusted 
after an accident or after the headlamp 
assembly is reinstalled.

If the LED lamp does not operate, 
we recommend that the system be 
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer. The LED lamps cannot be 
replaced as a single unit because it is 
an integrated unit. The LED lamps has 
to be replaced with the unit. A skilled 
technician should check or repair the 
LED lamp, for it may damage related 
parts of the vehicle.
