Filter inspection
If the vehicle is operated in the
severely air-polluted cities or on
dusty rough roads for a long period,
it should be inspected more fre-
quently and replaced earlier. When
you, the owner, replace the climate
control air filter, replace it performing
the following procedure, and be care-
ful to avoid damaging other compo-
nents.
Replace the filter according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
Install a new climate control air filter
in the correct direction with the
arrow symbol(
↓ ↓) facing downwards.
Otherwise, the climate control
effects may decrease, possibly
with a noise.
Filter replacement
1.With the glove box open, remove
the stoppers on both sides.
2.Open the glove box and remove
the support strap (1).3. Remove the climate control air fil-
ter case whilst pressing the lock
on the left side of the cover.
4. Replace the climate control air filter.
5. Reassemble in the reverse order
of disassembly.

Blade inspection
Information
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windscreen diffi-
cult to clean.Contamination of either the wind-
screen or the wiper blades with for-
eign matter can reduce the effective-
ness of the windscreen 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.
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use petrol,
kerosene, paint thinner, or other
solvents on or near them.
Blade replacement
When the wipers no longer clean
adequately, the blades may be worn
or cracked, and require replacement.
To prevent damage to the wiper
arms or other components, do not
attempt to move the wipers manu-
ally.
The use of a non-specified wiper
blade could result in wiper mal-
function and failure.

against the windscreen, since it
may chip or crack the wind-
screen.

For best battery service
Keep the battery securely mount-
ed.
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.
Information - For batteries
marked with UPPER and
LOWER
If your vehicle is equipped with a bat-
tery marked with LOWER (MIN) and
UPPER (MAX) on the side, you
should check the electrolyte level.
The electrolyte level should be
between LOWER (MIN) and UPPER
(MAX). When the electrolyte level is
low, add distilled (or de-mineralised)
water. (Never add sulfuric acids or
other electrolyte).Be careful not to spill distilled (or de-
mineralised) water over the battery
surface or other adjacent components.
Also, do not overfill the battery cells.
If not, it may corrode the battery or
other components. Finally, securely
close the cell cap. However, we recom-
mend you to contact an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer for better battery
service.i

Maintenance
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,
thoroughly wash the
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 of the battery
according to your local
law(s) or regulation.
When lifting a plastic-cased
battery, excessive pressure
on the case may cause battery
acid to leak, resulting in per-
sonal injury. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
Never attempt to recharge the
battery when the battery
cables are connected.
The electrical ignition system
works with high voltage.
Never touch these compo-
nents with the engine running
or the ignition switch in the
ON position.
Failure to follow the above
warnings can result in serious
bodily injury or death.
If you connect unauthorised
electronic devices to the bat-
tery, the battery may be dis-
charged. Never use unautho-
rised devices.
CAUTION
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 con-
tain highly corrosive
SULFURIC ACID. Do not
allow battery acid to
contact your skin, eyes,
clothing or paint finish.

Battery recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes discharged
in a short time (because, for exam-
ple, the headlamps or interior lights
were left on whilst 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
whilst the vehicle is being used,
recharge it at 20-30A for two hours.
OLMB073072 ■Example
When recharging the battery,
observe the following precau-
tions:
The battery must be removed
from the vehicle and placed in
an area with good ventilation.
Do not allow cigarettes,
sparks, or flames near the bat-
tery.
Watch the battery during
charging, and stop or reduce
the charging rate if the battery
cells begin gassing (boiling)
violently or if the temperature
of the electrolyte of any cell
exceeds 49°C (120°F).
Wear eye protection when
checking the battery during
charging.

main switch.
2. Unhook the negative clamp
from the negative battery
terminal.
3. Unhook the positive clamp
from the positive battery
terminal.
Before performing mainte-
nance or recharging the bat-
tery, turn off all accessories
and stop the engine.
The negative battery cable

Tyre care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tyre
inflation pressures and stay within
the load limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle.
Recommended cold tyre infla-
tion pressures
All tyre pressures (including the
spare) should be checked when the
tyres are cold. “Cold Tyres” means
the vehicle has not been driven for at
least three hours or driven less than
1.6 km.
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, top vehi-
cle handling, and minimum tyre
wear.
For the recommended inflation
pressure refer to “Tyre and
wheels” in chapter 8.All specifications (sizes and pres-
sures) can be found on a label
attached to the vehicle.Tyre underinflation
Severe underinflation (70 kPa
(10 psi) or more) can lead to
severe heat build-up, causing
blowouts, tread separation and
other tyre failures that can
result in the loss of vehicle con-
trol leading to severe injury or
death. This risk is much higher
on hot days and when driving
for long periods at high speeds.
WARNING
OTLE085006R

7-54
Maintenance
Underinflation also results in
excessive wear, poor handling
and reduced fuel economy.
Wheel deformation also is
possible. Keep your tyre pres-
sures at the proper levels. If a
tyre frequently needs refilling,
we recommend that the tyre
be checked by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
Overinflation produces a
harsh ride, excessive wear at
the centre of the tyre tread,
and a greater possibility of
damage from road hazards.
CAUTION
Warm tyres normally exceed
recommended cold tyre pres-
sures by 28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6
psi). Do not release air from
warm tyres to adjust the pres-
sure or the tyres will be
underinflated.
Be sure to reinstall the tyre
inflation valve caps. Without
the valve cap, dirt or moisture
can get into the valve core
and cause air leakage. If a
valve cap is missing, install a
new one as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Tyre pressure
Always observe the following:
Check tyre pressure when the
tyres are cold. (After vehicle
has been parked for at least
three hours or hasn't been
driven more than 1.6 km since
startup.)
Check the pressure of your
spare tyre each time you
check the pressure of other
tyres.
Never overload your vehicle.
Be careful not to overload a
vehicle luggage rack if your
vehicle is equipped with one.
Worn, old tyres can cause
accidents. If your tread is
badly worn, or if your tyres
have been damaged, replace
them.
CAUTION
Tyre inflation
Overinflation or underinflation
can reduce tyre life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and
lead to sudden tyre failure. This
could result in loss of vehicle
control and potential injury.
