Refer to your vehicle’s tire and loading information label for specific informa- tion about your vehicle’s capacity weight and seating positions. The com- bined weight of the driver, passengers and cargo should never exceed your vehicle’s capacity weight.

C190G03JM-AAT Compliance Label

The label shows the maximum allow- able weight of the fully loaded vehicle. This is called the GVWR (Gross Ve- hicle Weight Rating). The GVWR in- cludes the weight of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo.

This label also tells you the maximum weights that can be supported by the front and rear axles, called Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). To find out the actual loads on your front and rear axles, you need to go to a weigh station and weigh your vehicle. Your dealer can help you with this. Be sure to spread out your load equally on both sides of the centerline.

The compliance label is located on the driver's side of the center piller outer panel.

C190G01JM

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

19

WARNING:

o Never exceed the GVWR for your vehicle, the GAWR for either the front or rear axle and vehicle ca- pacity weight. Exceeding these ratings can cause an accident or vehicle damage. You can calcu- late the weight of your load by weighing the items (or people) before putting them in the ve- hicle. Be careful not to overload your vehicle.

o Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR, either the maximum front or rear GAWR and vehicle capacity weight. If you do, parts, including tires on your vehicle can break, and it can change the way your vehicle handles and braking ability. This could cause you to lose control and crash. Also, overloading can shorten the life of your vehicle.

2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 20

WARNING:

o Overloading your vehicle can cause heat buildup in your vehicle's tires and possible tire failure that could lead to a crash. o Overloading your vehicle can cause increased stopping dis- tances that could lead to a crash. o A crash resulting from poor han- dling vehicle damage, tire failure, or increased stopping dis- tances could result in serious injury or death.

The label will help you decide how much cargo and installed equipment your vehicle can carry.

If you carry items inside your vehicle – like suitcases, tools, packages, or anything else – they more as fast as the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn quickly, or if there is a crash, the items will keep going and can cause an injury if they strikes the driver or a passenger.

! WARNING:

Items you carry inside your vehicle can strike and injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or in a crash.

o Put things in the cargo area of your vehicle. Try to spread the weight evenly.

o Never stack items, like suitcases, inside the vehicle above the tops of the seats.

o Do not leave an unsecured child

restraint in your vehicle.

o When you carry something in-

side the vehicle, secure it.

o Do not drive with a seat folded

down unless necessary.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START

D010A01A-AAT

WARNING:

If the engine will not start, do not push or pull the car to start it. This could result in a collision or cause other damage. In addition, push or pull starting may cause the catalytic converter to be overloaded and create a fire hazard.

D010B02A-AAT If Engine Doesn't Turn Over or Turns Over Slowly

D010C01A-AAT If Engine Turns Over Normally but Does Not Start

D010B01A

D010C01A-D

1.

If your car has an automatic transaxle, be sure the gear selector lever is in "N" or "P" and the emergency brake is set.

2. Check the battery connections to be sure

they are clean and tight.

3. Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you operate the starter, the battery is discharged.

4. Check the starter connections to be sure

they are securely tightened.

5. Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it. See

instructions for "Jump Starting".

1. Check fuel level. 2. With the key in the "OFF" position, check all connectors at ignition coil and spark plugs. Reconnect any that may be disconnected or loose.

3. Check the fuel line in the engine room. 4.

If the engine still refuses to start, call a Hyundai dealer or seek other qualified assis- tance.

JUMP STARTING

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

D010D01A-AAT If the Engine Stalls While Driving

D020A02A-AAT

1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to a safe place.

2. Turn on your emergency flashers. 3. Try to start the engine again. If your vehicle will not start, contact a Hyundai dealer or seek other qualified assistance.

Discharged battery

Booster battery

HLC4001

WARNING:

The gas produced by the battery during the jump-start operation is highly explosive. If these instructions are not followed exactly, serious personal injury and damage to the vehicle may occur! If you are not sure how to follow this procedure, seek qualified assis- tance. Automobile batteries contain sulfuric acid. This is poisonous and highly corrosive. When jump starting, wear protective glasses and be careful not to get acid on yourself, your clothing or on the car.

o If you should accidentally get acid on your skin or in your eyes, immediately remove any contaminated clothing and flush the area with clear water for at least 15 minutes. Then promptly obtain medical attention. If you must be transported to an emergency facility, con- tinue to apply water to the affected area with a sponge or cloth.

o The gas produced by the battery during the jump-start operation is highly explosive. Do not smoke or allow a spark or open flame in the vicinity.

o The battery being used to provide the jump start must be 12-volt. If you cannot deter- mine that it is a 12-volt battery, do not at- tempt to use it for the jump start.

o To jump start a car with a discharged battery,

follow this procedure exactly:

1.

If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, be sure the two vehicles are not touching.

2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and acces-

sories in both vehicles.

3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in the exact location shown on the previous page. First, attach one clamp of the jumper cable to the positive (+) post or cable of the dis- charged battery. Then attach the other end of the same cable to the positive (+) post or cable of the booster battery. Next, using the other cable, attach one clamp to the nega- tive (-) post or cable of the booster battery.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

Then attach the other end of that cable to a solid metal part of the engine away from the battery. Do not connect the cable to any moving part.

4. Start the engine in the car with the booster battery and let it run for a few minutes. This will help to assure that the booster battery is fully charged. During the jumping operation, run the engine in this vehicle at about 2000
rpm.

5. Start the engine in the car with the dis- charged battery using the normal starting procedure. After the engine starts, leave the jumper cables connected and let the engine run at fast idle or about 2000 rpm for several minutes.

6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in the

reverse order of attachment.

If you do not know why your battery became discharged (because the lights were left on, etc.), have the charging system checked by your Hyundai dealer.

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS

D030A02A-AAT If your temperature gauge indicates overheat- ing, you experience a loss of power, or hear loud pinging or knocking, the engine is probably too hot. If this happens, you should:

1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe

to do so.

3.

2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto- matic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioner is on, turn it off. If coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from the hood, stop the engine. Do not open the hood until the cool- ant has stopped running or the steaming has stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant and no steam, leave the engine running and check to be sure the engine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.

4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not missing, check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satisfactory, check for coolant leaking from the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air conditioner had been in use, it is normal for cold water to be draining from it when you stop).

WARNING:

While the engine is running, keep hands, long hair and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury.

5.

If the water pump drive belt is broken or coolant is leaking out, stop the engine im- mediately and call the nearest Hyundai deal- er for assistance.

WARNING:

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. This may allow coolant to be blown out of the opening and cause serious burns.

6.

If you cannot find the cause of the overheat- ing, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been lost, carefully add water to the reservoir (Page 6-7) to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the halfway mark.

7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for fur- ther signs of overheating. If overheating hap- pens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assis- tance.

!

CAUTION:

Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai dealer.

SPARE TIRE

D040A01A-AAT The following instructions for the tem- porary spare tire should be observed:

1. Check inflation pressure as soon as is practical after installing the spare tire, and adjust to the speci- fied pressure. The tire pressure should be periodically checked and maintained at the specified pres- sure while the tire is stored.

Spare Tire Pressure

Tire Size

T105/70D(R)14

Inflation Pressure

60 psi (420 kPa)

2. The spare tire should only be used temporarily and should be returned to the luggage compartment as soon as the original tire can be repaired or replaced.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

3. Continuous use at speeds of over 50 mph (80 km/h) is not recom- mended.

4. As the temporary spare tire is spe- cifically designed for your car, it should not be used on any other vehicle.

5. The temporary spare tire should not be used on any other wheels, nor should standard tires, snow tires, wheel covers or trim rings be used with the temporary spare wheel. If such use is attempted, damage to these items or other car components may occur.

6. The temporary spare tire pressure should be checked once a month while the tire is stored.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

CAUTION:

o Do not use snow chains with

your temporary spare tire.

o Do not use more than one tem-

porary spare tire at a time.

o Do not tow a trailer while the temporary spare tire is installed.

D040B01A-AAT

Handling the Spare Tire

HLC4011

Remove the installation bolt to re- move the spare tire. To replace the spare tire in its storage compartment, tighten the bolt firmly with your fin- gers until there is no more play in the spare tire.

IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE

D050A01A-AAT If a tire goes flat while you are driving:

1. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal and let the car slow down while driving straight ahead. Do not apply the brakes immediately or attempt to pull off the road as this may cause a loss of control. When the car has slowed to such a speed that it is safe to do so, brake care- fully and pull off the road. Drive off the road as far as possible and park on firm, level ground. If you are on a divided highway, do not park in the median area between the two traffic lanes.

2. When the car is stopped, turn on your emergency hazard flashers, set the parking brake and put the transaxle in "P" (automatic) or re- verse (manual transaxle).

After inserting a wrench bar into the wheel nut wrench, install the wrench bar into the jack as shown in the drawing. To raise the vehicle, turn the wheel nut wrench clockwise. As the jack begins to raise the vehicle, double check that it is properly positioned and will not slip. If the jack is on soft ground or sand, place a board, brick, flat stone or other object under the base of the jack to keep it from sink- ing.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

10

Raise the car high enough so that the fully inflated spare tire can be in- stalled. To do this, you will need more ground clearance than is required to remove the flat tire.

WARNING:

Do not get under the car when it is supported by the jack! This is very dangerous as the vehicle could fall and cause serious injury or death. No one should stay in the car while the jack is being used.

D060G02Y-AAT

6. Changing Wheels

D060G01A

Loosen the wheel nuts and remove them with your fingers. Slide the wheel off the studs and lay it flat so it cannot roll away. To put the wheel on the hub, pick up the spare tire, line up the holes with the studs and slide the wheel onto them. If this is difficult, tip the wheel slightly and get the top hole in the wheel lined up with the top stud. Then jiggle the wheel back and forth until the wheel can be slid over the other studs.

D060G02A

! WARNING:

Wheels and wheel covers may have sharp edges. Handle them care- fully to avoid possible severe in- jury. Before putting the wheel into place, be sure that there is nothing on the hub or wheel (such as mud, tar, gravel, etc.) that interferes with the wheel fitting solidly against the hub. If there is, remove it.

D060H02A-AAT

7. Re-install Wheel Nuts

D060I01E-GAT

8. Lower Vehicle and Tighten Nuts

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

11

If there is not good contact on the mounting surface between the wheel and hub, the wheel nuts could loosen and cause the loss of a wheel. Loss of a wheel may result in loss of control of the vehicle. This may cause serious injury or death.

D060H01A

To reinstall the wheel cover, hold it on the studs, put the wheel nuts on the studs and tighten them finger tight. The nuts should be installed with their small diameter ends directed inward. Jiggle the tire to be sure it is com- pletely seated, then tighten the nuts as much as possible with your fingers again.

HLC4008

Lower the car to the ground by turn- ing the wheel nut wrench counter- clockwise. Then position the wrench as shown in the drawing and tighten the wheel nuts. Be sure the socket is seated completely over the nut. Do not stand on the wrench or use an extension pipe over the wrench handle. Go around the wheel tightening every other nut until they are all tight. Then double-check each nut for tightness.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

12

After changing wheels, have a techni- cian tighten the wheel nuts to their proper torque as soon as possible.

Wheel nut tightening torque: Steel wheel & aluminium alloy wheel: 65-80 lb.ft (900-1,100 kg.cm)

D060J01E-AAT

After Changing Wheels

If the pressure is lower than recom- mended, drive slowly to the nearest service station and inflate to the cor- rect pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is correct. Always reinstall the valve cap after checking or ad- justing tire pressure. If the cap is not replaced, air may leak from the tire. If you lose a valve cap, buy another and install it as soon as possible. After you have changed wheels, al- ways secure the flat tire in its place in the trunk and return the jack and tools to their proper storage locations.

CAUTION:

Your car can be damaged if towed incor- rectly!

If you have a tire gauge, remove the valve cap and check the air pressure.

HLC4012

If your car has to be towed, it should be done by your Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truck service. This will help assure that your car is not damaged in towing. Also, professionals are gen- erally aware of state and local laws governing towing. In any case, rather than risk damage to your car, it is suggested that you show this information to the tow truck operator. Be sure that a safety chain system is used and that all state and local laws are observed.

o If the car is being towed with the front wheels on the ground, be sure that the transaxle is in neutral. Also, be sure that the ignition key is in the "ACC" position. This is necessary to prevent damage to the steering lock mecha- nism, which is not designed to hold the front wheels straight while the car is being towed. o If any of the loaded wheels or suspension components are damaged, a towing dolly must be used.

CAUTION:

A car with an automatic transaxle should never be towed from the rear with the front wheels on the ground. This can cause seri- ous damage to the transaxle. If the car must be towed from the rear, a towing dolly must be used under the front wheels.

o If the car is being towed with the rear wheels on the ground, be sure the parking brake is released.

IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS

D120A01A-AAT If you lose your keys, many Hyundai dealers can make you a new key if you have your key number. If you lock the keys inside your car and you cannot obtain a new key, many Hyundai dealers can use special tools to open the door for you.

CAUTION:

If the car is being towed with all four wheels on the ground, it can be towed only from the front. Be sure that the transaxle is in neutral. Do not tow at speeds greater than 30 mph (50 km/h) and for more than 15 miles (25 km). Be sure the steering is unlocked by placing the key in the "ACC" position. A driver must be in the towed vehicle to operate the steer- ing and brakes.

HLC4014
For emergency towing when no commercial tow vehicle is available, attach a tow cable, chain or strap to one of the towing hooks under the front/ rear of your car. Do not attempt to tow your vehicle in this manner on any unpaved surface. This may result in serious damage to your car. Nor should it be attempted if the wheels, drive train, axles, steering or brakes are damaged. Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in neutral and the key in "ACC" (with the engine off) or in the "ON" position (with the engine running). A driver must be in the towed car to steer it and operate the brakes.

CORROSION PROTECTION

E010A01A-AAT

Protecting Your Hyundai from Corro- sion By using the most advanced design and con- struction practices to combat corrosion, Hyundai produces cars of the highest quality. However, this is only part of the job. To achieve the long term corrosion resistance your Hyundai can deliver, the owner's cooperation and assistance is also required.

E010B01A-AAT Common Causes of Corrosion

The most common causes of corrosion on your car are:

o Road salt, dirt and moisture that is allowed to

accumulate underneath the car.

o Removal of paint or protective coatings by stones, gravel, abrasion or minor scrapes and dents which leave unprotected metal exposed to corrosion.

E010C01A-AAT High-Corrosion Areas

If you live in an area where your car is regularly exposed to corrosive materials, corrosion pro- tection is particularly important. Some of the common causes of accelerated corrosion are road salts, dust control chemicals, ocean air and industrial pollution.

E010D01A-AAT Moisture Breeds Corrosion

Moisture creates the conditions in which corro- sion is most likely to occur. For example, corro- sion is accelerated by high humidity, particularly when temperatures are just above freezing. In such conditions, the corrosive material is kept in contact with the car surfaces by moisture that is slow to evaporate. Mud is a particular enemy of corrosion protec- tion because it is slow to dry and holds moisture in contact with the vehicle. Even though the mud appears to be dry, it can still retain moisture and promote corrosion. High temperatures can also accelerate corro- sion of parts that are not properly ventilated so the moisture can be dispersed. For all these reasons, it is particularly important to keep your car clean and free of mud or accumulations of other materials. This applies not only on the visible surfaces but particularly to the underside of the car.

TO HELP PREVENT CORROSION

E020A01A-AAT You can help prevent corrosion from getting started by observing the following:

E020B01A-AAT Keep Your Car Clean

The best way to prevent corrosion is to keep your car clean and free of corrosive materials. Attention to the underside of the car is particu- larly important.

o If you live in a high-corrosion area — where road salts are used, near the ocean, areas with industrial pollution, acid rain, etc.— you should take extra care to prevent corrosion. In winter, hose off the underside of your car at least once a month and be sure to clean the underside thoroughly when winter is over. o When cleaning underneath the car, give par- ticular attention to the components under the fenders and other areas that are hidden from view. Do a thorough job; just dampening the accumulated mud rather than washing it away will accelerate corrosion rather than prevent it. Water under high pressure and steam are particularly effective in removing accumulat- ed mud and corrosive materials.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE 4

WASHING AND WAXING

o When cleaning lower door panels, rocker panels and frame members, be sure that drain holes are kept open so that moisture can escape and not be trapped inside to ac- celerate corrosion.

E020C01A-AAT Keep Your Garage Dry

Don't park your car in a damp, poorly ventilated garage. This creates a favorable environment for corrosion. This is particularly true if you wash your car in the garage or drive it into the garage when it is still wet or covered with snow, ice or mud. Even a heated garage can contribute to corrosion unless it is well ventilated so moisture is dispersed.

E020D01A-AAT Keep Paint and Trim in Good Condition

Scratches or chips in the finish should be cov- ered with "touch-up" paint as soon as possible to reduce the possibility of corrosion. If bare metal is showing through, the attention of a qualified body and paint shop is recommended.

E020E01A-AAT Don't Neglect the Interior

E030A01A-AAT Washing Your Hyundai

Moisture can collect under the floor mats and carpeting to cause corrosion. Check under the mats periodically to be sure the carpeting is dry. Use particular care if you carry fertilizers, clean- ing materials or chemicals in the car. These should be carried only in proper contain- ers and any spills or leaks should be cleaned up, flushed with clear water and thoroughly dried.

Never wash your car when the surface is hot from being in the sun. Always wash your car in the shade.

Wash your car frequently. Dirt is abrasive and can scratch the paint if it is not removed. Air pollution or acid rain may damage the paint and trim through chemical action if pollutants are allowed to remain in contact with the surface. If you live near the ocean or in an area where road salts or dust control chemicals are used, you should pay particular attention to the underside of the car. Start by rinsing the car to remove dust and loose dirt. In winter, or if you have driven through mud or muddy water, be sure to thoroughly clean the underside as well. Use a hard direct stream of water to remove accumu- lations of mud or corrosive materials. Use a good quality car-washing solution and follow the manufacturer's directions on the package. These are available at your Hyundai dealer or auto parts outlet. Don't use strong household deter- gents, gasoline, strong solvents or abrasive cleaning powders as these may damage the finish.

44 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE

Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse it frequently and don't damage the finish by rubbing too hard. For stubborn spots, dampen them frequently and remove them a little at a time.

To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush or soap-impregnated steel-wool scouring pad.

To clean plastic wheel covers, use a clean sponge or soft cloth and water.

To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels, use a mild soap or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Protect the bare-metal surfaces by cleaning, polishing and waxing. Because alumi- num is subject to corrosion, be sure to give aluminum alloy wheels special attention in win- ter. If you drive on salted roads, clean the wheels thoroughly afterwards.

After washing, be sure to rinse thoroughly. If soapy water dries on the finish, streaking will result.

When the weather is warm and the humidity low, you may find it necessary to rinse each section immediately after washing to avoid streaking.

After rinsing, dry the car using a damp chamois or soft, absorbent cloth. The reason for drying the car is to remove water from the car so it will dry without water spots. Don't rub, this can damage the finish.

If you find any nicks or scratches in the paint, use touch-up paint to cover them to prevent corrosion. To protect the paintwork of the car against corrosion, you must clean your Hyundai (at least once a month). Give special attention to the removal of salt, mud and other substanc- es on the underside of the splashboards of the car. Make sure that the outlets and the under- side of the doors are open. Paint damage can be caused by small accumulation of tar, industrial precipitation, tree resin, insects and bird drop- pings, when not removed immediately. If water alone is not strong enough to remove the accumulated dirt, use a mild car washing solution. Be sure to rinse the surface after washing to remove the solution. Never allow the solution to dry on the painted surfaces.

E030B01A-AAT Spot Cleaning

Don't use gasoline, strong solvents or corrosive cleaning agents. These can damage the finish of the car. To remove road tar, use turpentine on a clean, soft cloth. Be gentle. To remove dead insects or tree sap, use warm water and mild soap or car-washing solution. Soak the spot and rub gently. If the paint has lost its luster, use a commercial car-cleaning polish.

E030C01A-AAT Polishing and Waxing

Always wash and dry the car before polishing or waxing or using a combination cleaner and wax. Use a good quality commercial product and follow the manufacturer's directions on the con- tainer. Polish and wax the bright trim pieces as well as the paint.

E040D01A-AAT Cleaning the Seat Belts

You should polish and wax the car again when water no longer beads on a clean surface but spreads out over a larger area.

E030E01A-AAT Maintaining Bumpers

Special precautions must be observed to pre- serve the appearance of the bumpers on your Hyundai. They are:

o Be careful not to spill battery electrolyte or hydraulic brake fluid on the bumpers. If you do, wash it off immediately with clean water. o Be gentle when cleaning the bumper sur- faces. They are made of soft plastic and the surface can be damaged if mistreated. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Use warm water and mild soap or car-washing solution.

o Do not expose the bumpers to high tem- peratures. For example, if you have your car repainted, do not leave the bumpers on the car if the car is going to be placed in a high-temperature paint booth.

To clean the vinyl upholstery, first remove loose dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner. Then apply a solution of mild soap or detergent and water using a clean sponge or soft cloth. Allow this to stay on the surface to loosen the dirt, then wipe with a clean damp sponge or cloth. If all the dirt stains are not removed, repeat this procedure until the upholstery is clean. Do not use gaso- line, solvent, paint thinner or other strong clean- ers.

E040C01A-AAT Cleaning the Carpets

Use a foam-type carpet cleaner. Cleaners of this type are available in aerosol cans in liquid form or powder. Read the instructions and follow them exactly. Using a vacuum cleaner with the appropriate attachment, remove as much dirt from the carpets as possible. Apply the foam following the manufacturer's directions, then rub in overlapping circles. Do not add water. These cleaners work best when the carpet is kept as dry as possible.

To clean the seat belts, use a cloth or sponge with mild soap or detergent and warm water. Do not use strong detergents, dye, bleach or abra- sive materials on the seat belts as this may weaken the fabric. While cleaning the belts, inspect them for ex- cessive wear, cuts, fraying or other signs of damage and replace them if necessary.

E040E01A-AAT Cleaning the Windows

You may use any household window cleaner on the windows. However, when cleaning the in- side of the rear window be careful not to damage the rear window defroster wiring.

F010A01A-AAT Service Requirements

F010C01A-AAT Specified Scheduled Procedures

F010D01A-AAT General Checks

To ensure that you receive the greatest number of miles of satisfying operation from your Hyundai, certain maintenance procedures must be performed. Although careful design and engi- neering have reduced these to a minimum, those that are required are of the utmost impor- tance. It is your responsibility to have these mainte- nance procedures performed to comply with the terms of the warranties covering your new Hyundai. The Owner's Handbook supplied with your new vehicle provides further information about these warranties.

F010B01A-AAT Maintenance Requirements

The maintenance required for your Hyundai can be divided into three main areas:

o Specified scheduled procedures o General checks o Do-it-yourself maintenance

These are the procedures such as inspections, adjustments and replacements that are listed in the maintenance charts starting on page 5-4. These procedures must be performed at the intervals shown in the maintenance schedule to assure that your warranty remains in effect. Although it is strongly recommended that they be performed by the factory-trained or distribu- tor-trained technicians at your Hyundai dealer, these procedures may be performed at any qualified service facility. It is suggested that genuine Hyundai service parts be used for any required repairs or re- placements. Other parts of equivalent quality such as engine oil, engine coolant, manual or auto transaxle oil, brake fluid and so on which are not supplied by Hyundai Motor Company or its distributor may be used without affecting your warranty coverage but you should always be sure these are equivalent to the quality of the original Hyundai parts. Your Owner's Handbook provides further information about your warranty coverage.

These are the regular checks you should per- form when you drive your Hyundai or you fill the fuel tank. A list of these items will be found on page 6-3.

F010E01A-AAT Do-It-Yourself Maintenance

If you are mechanically inclined, own a few tools that are required and want to take the time to do so, you can inspect and service a number of items. For more information about doing it your- self, see Section 6.

F010F01A-AAT A Few Tips

o Whenever you have your Hyundai serviced, keep copies of the service records in your glove box. This will help ensure that you can document that the required procedures have been performed to keep your warranties in effect. This is especially important when ser- vice is not performed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

o If you choose to do your own maintenance and repairs, you may find it helpful to have an official Hyundai Shop Manual. A copy of this publication may be purchased at your Hyundai dealer's parts department.

F020A02A-AAT o Inspection should be performed any time a

malfunction is experienced or suspected.

o Receipts for all emission control system ser- vices should be retained to demonstrate com- pliance with conditions of the emissions sys- tem warranty.

o After 120 months or 150,000 miles (240,000
km), continue to follow the prescribed main- tenance intervals.

o For severe usage maintenance requirements,

see page 5-6 of this section.

EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

F060M01A-AAT o Engine Oil and Filter

F060D01A-AAT o Fuel Lines, Fuel Hoses and

F060G01A-AAT o Vapor Hose and Fuel Filler Cap

The engine oil and filter should be changed at the intervals specified in the maintenance sched- ule. If the car is being driven in severe condi- tions, more frequent oil and filter changes are required.

Connections

Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and connec- tions for leakage and damage. Have a trained techincian, replace any damaged or leaking parts immediately.

The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should be inspected at those intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. Make sure that a new vapor hose or fuel filler cap is correctly re- placed.

F060C01A-AAT o Fuel Filter

A clogged filter can limit the speed at which the vehicle may be driven, damage the emission system and cause hard starting. If an excessive amount of foreign matter accumulates in the fuel tank, the filter may require replacement more frequently. After installing a new filter, run the engine for several minutes, and check for leaks at the connections. Fuel filters should be installed by trained techni- cians.

F060F01A-AAT o Vacuum, Crankcase Ventilation

Hoses

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. Par- ticular 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.

F060H01A-AAT o Air Cleaner Filter

A Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is recom- mended when the filter is replaced.
