Introduction
Diesel engine
Diesel fuel
Diesel engine must be operated only
on commercially available diesel fuel
that complies with EN 590 or compa
rable standard. (EN stands for
"European Norm"). Do not use
marine diesel fuel, heating oils, or
nonapproved fuel additives, as this
will increase wear and cause dam
age to the engine and fuel system.
The use of nonapproved fuels and /
or fuel additives will result in a limita
tion of your warranty rights.
Diesel fuel of above cetane 51 is
used in your vehicle. If two types of
diesel fuel are available, use summer
or winter fuel properly according to
the following temperature conditions.
• Above 5°C (23°F) ... Summer typediesel fuel.
• Below 5°C (23°F) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
Watch the fuel level in the tank very
carefully : If the engine stops through
fuel failure, the circuits must be com
pletely purged to permit restarting.Do not let any gasoline or water
enter the tank. This would make it
necessary to drain it out and to bleed
the lines to avoid jamming the injec
tion pump and damaging the engine.
Diesel Fuel
(if equipped with DPF)
It is recommended to use the regu
lated automotive diesel fuel for diesel
vehicle equipped with the DPF sys
tem.
If you use diesel fuel including high
sulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur) and
unspecified additives, it can cause
the DPF system to be damaged and
white smoke can be emitted.
Biodiesel
Commercially supplied Diesel blends
of no more than 7% biodiesel, com
monly known as "B7 Diesel" may be
used in your vehicle if Biodiesel
meets EN 14214 or equivalent spec
ifications. (EN stands for "European
Norm"). The use of biofuels exceed
ing 7% made from rapeseed methyl
ester (RME), fatty acid methyl ester
(FAME), vegetable oil methyl ester
(VME) etc. or mixing diesel exceed
ing 7% with biodiesel will cause
increased wear or damage to the
engine and fuel system. Repair or
replacement of worn or damaged
components due to the use of non
approved fuels will not be covered by
the manufactures warranty.
•Never use any fuel, whether
diesel, B7 biodiesel or otherwise,
that fails to meet the latest petrole
um industry specification.
•Never use any fuel additives or
treatments that are not recom
mended or approved by the vehi
cle manufacturer.

When the amount of refrigerant is
low, the performance of the air con

Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, we recommend that the system
be inspected by an authorized

System maintenance
Climate control air filter
This filter is installed behind the glove
box. It filters the dust or other pollutants
that enter the vehicle through the heat
ing and air conditioning system.
We recommend the climate control airfilter be replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer according to the
maintenance schedule. If the car is being driven in severe conditions such as dusty or rough roads, more frequentair conditioner filter inspections and
changes are required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreases,we recommend the system be checked
at an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING

When using tire chains:
•Wrong size chains or improperly
installed chains can damage your
vehicle's brake lines, suspension,
body and wheels.
•Use SAE “S” class or wire chains.
•If you hear noise caused by chains
contacting the body, retighten the
chain to prevent contact with the
vehicle body.
•To prevent body damage, retighten
the chains after driving 0.5~1.0 km
(0.3~0.6 miles).
•Do not use tire chains on vehicles
equipped with aluminum wheels. If
unavoidable, use a wire type
chain.
•Use wire chains less than 15 mm
(0.59 in) wide to prevent damage
to the chain’s connection.
Winter precautions
Use high quality ethylene glycol
coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high
quality ethylene glycol coolant in the
cooling system. It is the only type of
coolant that should be used because
it helps prevent corrosion in the cool
ing system, lubricates the water
pump and prevents freezing. Be sure
to replace or replenish your coolant
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in chapter 7. Before winter,
have your coolant tested to assure
that its freezing point is sufficient for
the temperatures anticipated during
the winter.
Check battery and cables
Winter puts additional burdens on
the battery system. Visually inspect
the battery and cables as described
in chapter 7. The level of charge in
your battery can be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
service station.
Change to "winter weight" oil if
necessary
In some climates it is recommended
that a lower viscosity "winter weight"
oil be used during cold weather. See
chapter 8 for recommendations. If
you aren't sure what weight oil you
should use, we recommend that you
consult with an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Check spark plugs and ignition
system
Inspect your spark plugs as
described in chapter 7 and replace
them if necessary. Also check all
ignition wiring and components to be
sure they are not cracked, worn or
damaged in any way.

Maintenance
FuSES
A vehicle’s electrical system is pro
tected from electrical overload dam
age by fuses.
This vehicle has 2 fuse panels, one
located in the driver’s side panel bol
ster, the other in the engine compart
ment near the battery.
If any of your vehicle’s lights, acces
sories, or controls do not work, check
the appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse
has blown, the element inside the
fuse will be melted.
If the electrical system does not
work, first check the driver’s side
fuse panel.
Before replacing a blown fuse, dis
connect the negative battery cable.
Always replace a blown fuse with
one of the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and imme
diately consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating, SlowBlow type and multi fuse for higheramperage ratings.
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove fuses
because it may cause a short circuit
and damage the system.
Information
The actual fuse/relay panel label may
differ from equipped items. i

thing but another fuse of the
same rating.
•A higher capacity fuse could
cause damage and possibly a
fire.
•Never install a wire or aluminum
foil instead of the proper fuse
even as a temporary repair. It
may cause extensive wiring
damage and a possible fire.
