EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS Engine oil and filter The engine oil and filter should be changed at the intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. If the car is being driven in severe conditions, more frequent oil and filter changes are required.
Fuel filter (cartridge) A clogged filter can limit the speed at which the vehicle may be driven, damage the emission system and cause multiple issues such as 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. We recommend that the fuel filter be replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and con- nections Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and connections for leakage and dam- age. We recommend that the fuel lines, fuel hoses and connections be replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Vapor hose and fuel filler cap The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should be inspected at those inter- vals specified in the maintenance schedule. Make sure that a new vapor hose or fuel filler cap is cor- rectly replaced.
Drive belts Inspect all drive belts for evidence of cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil saturation and replace if necessary. Drive belts should be checked peri- odically for proper tension and adjusted as necessary.
CAUTION
When you are inspecting the belt, place the Engine Start/Stop button in the OFF or ACC posi- tion.
7-22
Vacuum crankcase ventilation hoses (if equipped) Inspect the surface of hoses for evi- dence of heat and/or mechanical damage. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessive swelling indicate deterio- ration. Particular 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 con- tact 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 pres- ent. Hoses should be replaced immediately if there is any evidence of deterioration or damage.
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.
WARNING
Do not disconnect and inspect spark plugs when the engine is hot. You may burn yourself.
Valve clearance (3.0L / 3.3L / 3.8L) Inspect excessive valve noise and/or engine vibration and adjust if neces- sary. We recommend that the system be serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Cooling system Check the cooling system parts, such as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and connections for leakage and damage. Replace any damaged parts.
Coolant The coolant should be changed at the intervals specified in the mainte- nance schedule.
7-23
CAUTION
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” in section 8.)
Brake hoses and lines Visually check for proper installation, chafing, cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replace any deteriorat- ed or damaged parts immediately.
Brake fluid Check brake fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir. The level should be between “MIN” and “MAX” marks on the side of the reservoir. Use only hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification.
Parking brake Inspect the parking brake system including the parking brake lever (or pedal) and cables.
Maintenance
Automatic transmission fluid Automatic transmission fluid should not be checked under normal usage conditions. We recommend that the automatic transmission fluid changed by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer accord- ing to the maintenance schedule.
✽ NOTICE Automatic transmission fluid color is basically red. As the vehicle is driven, the auto- matic transmission fluid will begin to look darker. It is normal condition and you should not judge the need to replace the fluid based upon the changed color.
7-24
Drive shafts and boots Check the drive shafts, boots and clamps for cracks, deterioration, or damage. Replace any damaged parts and, if necessary, repack the grease.
Air conditioning refrigerant/ compressor Check the air conditioning lines and connections for leakage and dam- age.
Brake pads, calipers and rotors Check the pads for excessive wear, discs for run out and wear, and calipers for fluid leakage. For more information on checking the pads or lining wear limit, refer to the HYUNDAI web site. (http://brakemanual.hmc.co.kr)
Suspension mounting bolts Check the suspension connections for looseness or damage. Retighten to the specified torque.
Steering gear box, linkage & boots/lower arm ball joint With the vehicle stopped and engine off, check for excessive free-play in the steering wheel. Check the linkage for bends or dam- age. Check the dust boots and ball joints for deterioration, cracks, or damage. Replace any damaged parts.
7-25
3. Turn the engine off and wait for a few minutes (about 5 minutes) for the oil to return to the oil pan.
5. Pull the dipstick out again and check the level. The level should be between F and L.
4. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean,
and re-insert it fully.
CAUTION
WARNING
Radiator hose Be very careful not to touch the radiator hose when checking or adding the engine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you.
• Do not overfill the engine oil.
It may damage the engine.
• Do not spill engine oil, when adding or changing engine oil. If you drop the engine oil on the engine room, wipe it off immediately.
• When you wipe the oil level gauge, you should wipe it with a clean cloth. When mixed with debris, it can cause engine damage.

(Continued)
When you are sure all the pressure has been released, press down on the cap, using a thick towel, and continue turning counterclockwise to remove it.
• Even if the engine is not oper- ating, do not remove the radi- ator cap or the drain plug while the engine and radiator are hot. Hot coolant and steam may still blow out under pressure, causing seri- ous injury.
Maintenance
ENGINE COOLANT The high-pressure cooling system has a reservoir filled with year-round antifreeze coolant. The reservoir is filled at the factory. Check the antifreeze protection and coolant concentration level at least once a year, at the beginning of the winter season, and before traveling to a colder climate.
CAUTION
• When the engine overheats from low engine coolant, sud- denly adding engine coolant may cause cracks in the engine. To prevent damage, add engine coolant slowly in small quantities.
• Do not drive with no engine coolant. It may cause water pump failure and engine seizure, etc.
7-28
Checking the coolant level
WARNING
Removing radiator cap
• Never attempt to remove the radiator cap while the engine is operating or hot. Doing so might lead to cooling system and engine damage and could result in serious personal injury from escaping hot coolant or steam.
• Turn the engine off and wait until it cools down. Use extreme care when removing the radiator cap. Wrap a thick towel around it, and turn it counterclockwise slowly to the first stop. Step back while the pressure is released from the cooling system.
(Continued)
WARNING
The electric motor (cooling fan) is con- trolled by engine coolant temperature, refrigerant pressure and vehicle speed. It may some- times operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blades. As the engine coolant temperature decreases, the electric motor will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition. The electric motor (cooling fan) may operate until you discon- nect the negative battery cable.
Recommended engine coolant • When adding coolant, use only deionized water or soft water for your vehicle and never mix hard water in the coolant filled at the fac- tory. An improper coolant mixture can result in serious malfunction or engine damage.
• The engine in your vehicle has alu- minum engine parts and must be protected by an ethylene-glycol- based coolant to prevent corrosion and freezing.
• DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol coolant or mix them with the spec- ified coolant.
• Do not use a solution that contains more than 60% antifreeze or less than 35% antifreeze, which would reduce the effectiveness of the solution.
7-29
ODH073004
Check the condition and connections
of all cooling system hoses and
heater hoses. Replace any swollen
or deteriorated hoses.
The coolant level should be filled
between F (MAX) and L (MIN) marks
on the side of the coolant reservoir
when the engine is cool.
If the coolant level is low, add enough
distilled (deionized) or soft water.
Bring the level to F (MAX), but do not
overfill.
If frequent additions are required, we
recommend
the system be
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

WARNING
Coolant • Do not use radiator coolant or antifreeze in the washer fluid reservoir.
• Radiator coolant can severely obscure visibility when sprayed on the windshield and may cause loss of vehicle control or damage to paint and body trim.
ODH073005
WARNING
Radiator cap Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot coolant and steam may blow out under pressure causing seri- ous injury.
BRAKE FLUID Checking the brake fluid level
If the fluid level is excessively low, we recommend that the system be checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
✽ NOTICE Before removing the brake filler cap, read the warning on the cap.
Use only the specified brake fluid. (Refer to “Recommended lubricants and capacities”in section 8.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
WARNING
Clean filler cap before remov-
ing. Use only DOT3 or DOT4
brake fluid from a sealed con-
tainer.
WARNING
Loss of brake fluid In the event the brake system requires frequent additions of fluid, we recommend that the system be inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
ODH073006
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the
side of the reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap
and adding brake fluid, clean the
area around the reservoir cap thor-
oughly to prevent brake fluid contam-
ination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the
MAX level. The level will fall with
accumulated mileage. This is a nor-
mal condition associated with the
wear of the brake linings.
7-31
Maintenance
WARNING
CAUTION
Brake fluid When changing and adding brake fluid, handle it carefully. Do not let it come in contact with your eyes. If brake fluid should come in contact with your eyes, immediately flush them with a large quantity of fresh tap water. Have your eyes examined by a doctor as soon as possible.
Do not allow brake fluid to con- tact the vehicle's body paint, as paint damage will result. Brake fluid, which has been exposed to open air for an extended time should never be used as its quality cannot be guaranteed. It should be disposed of properly. Don't put in the wrong kind of fluid. A few drops of mineral-based oil, such as engine oil, in your brake system can damage brake system parts.
7-32
WASHER FLUID Checking the washer fluid level
ODH073007
The reservoir is translucent so that
you can check the level with a quick
visual inspection.
Check the fluid level in the washer
fluid reservoir and add fluid if neces-
sary.
Plain water may be used if washer
fluid is not available.
However, use washer solvent with
antifreeze characteristics in cold cli-
mates to prevent freezing.
CAUTION
Coolant • Do not use radiator coolant or antifreeze in the washer fluid reservoir.
• Radiator coolant can severely obscure visibility when sprayed on the windshield and may cause loss of vehicle control or damage to paint and body trim.
• Windshield Washer
fluid agents contain some amounts of alcohol and can be flamma- ble under certain circum- stances. Do not allow sparks or flame to contact the washer fluid or the washer fluid reser- voir. Damage to the vehicle or occupants could occur.
• Windshield washer fluid is poisonous to humans and animals. Do not drink and avoid contacting windshield washer fluid. Serious injury or death could occur.
PARKING BRAKE Checking the parking brake
ODH053142
Check whether the stroke is within
specification when the parking brake
pedal is depressed with 20 kg (44 lb,
196N) of force. Also, the parking
brake alone should securely hold the
vehicle on a fairly steep grade. If the
stroke is more or less than specified,
we recommend that the system be
serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Stroke : 3 notch

WIPER BLADES Blade inspection
Contamination of either the wind- shield or the wiper blades with for- eign matter can reduce the effective- ness of the windshield wipers. Common sources of contamination are insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments used by some commer- cial car washes. If the blades are not wiping properly, clean both the win- dow and the blades with a good cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Blade replacement When the wipers no longer clean adequately, the blades may be worn or cracked, and require replacement.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiper arms or other components, do not attempt to move the wipers manually.
OLMB073019
CAUTION
✽ NOTICE Commercial hot waxes applied by automatic car washes have been known to make the windshield diffi- cult to clean.
To prevent damage to the wiper blades, do not use gasoline, kerosene, paint thinner, or other solvents on or near them.
CAUTION
The use of a non-specified wiper blade could result in wiper malfunction and failure.

• Keep the battery securely mounted. • Keep the battery top clean and dry. • Keep the terminals and connec- tions clean, tight, and coated with petroleum jelly or terminal grease. • Rinse any spilled electrolyte from the battery immediately with a solution of water and baking soda. • If the vehicle is not going to be used for an extended time, discon- nect the battery cables.
✽ NOTICE Basically equipped battery is main- tenance free type. If your vehicle is equipped with the battery marked with LOWER and UPPER on the side, you can check the electrolyte level. The electrolyte level should be between LOWER and UPPER. If the electrolyte level is low, it needs to add distilled (demineralized) water (Never add sulfuric acid or other electrolyte). When refill, be careful not to splash the battery and adja- cent components. And do not over- fill the battery cells. It can cause cor- rosion on other parts. After then ensure that tighten the cell caps. We recommend that you contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING
Battery dangers
Always read the follow- ing instructions carefully when handling a battery. Keep lighted cigarettes and all other flames or sparks away from the battery. Hydrogen, a highly com- bustible gas, is always present in battery cells and may explode if ignit- ed. Keep batteries out of the reach of children because batteries contain highly corrosive SULFURIC ACID. Do not allow bat- tery acid to contact your skin, eyes, clothing or paint finish.

If any electrolyte gets into your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water for at least 15 min- utes and get immediate medical attention. If elec- trolyte gets on your skin, the thoroughly wash contacted area. If you feel a pain or a burning sensation, get medical attention immediately. Wear eye protection when charging or work- ing near a battery. Always provide ventila- tion when working in an enclosed space. An inappropriately dis- posed battery can be harmful to the environ- ment and human health. Dispose the battery according to your local law(s) or regulation.
