2MAINTENANCE AND SER- VICING REQUIREMENTS
SF020A1-E To ensure the continued reliability and safety of the vehicle, certain routine maintenance operations are requiredat specific mileage or time intervals.It is the responsibility of the vehicleowner to ensure that the maintenanceschedules shown in both this Owners Manual and the Warranty and Service Passport are adhered to.The new vehicle warranty may beinvalidated if the routine maintenanceoperations are not performed in line with the recommendations outlined and the safety and durability of thevehicle adversely affected.It is recommended that all mainte-nance operations with the exceptionof the daily operating checks are en- trusted to a Hyundai dealer to ensure that the latest repair and maintenanceprocedures and specialized servicing tools are employed. In addition, the use of genuine Hyundai replacementparts will ensure that the vehicle safety and performance will not be compro- mised. NOTE:
The inspection and testing of cer-
tain electronic fuel injection/engine management and automatic trans- mission control systems requirespecialised electronic equipment specifically designed for Hyundai vehicles. The use of general pur-pose electrical test equipment may result in damage to the control unit microprocessors.
SF020C2-E
Specified Scheduled Procedures
The Specified scheduled procedures
are listed in the maintenance chartsbeginning at page 5-3. The opera- tions specified must be performed at the time or mileage intervals shownirrespective of whether the mileage interval has been reached before the specified time interval. Certain lubricants and components
degrade with both time and mileage(e.g. engine oil and brake fluid) and therefore it is not permissable to base the maintenance schedule upon mile-age alone. It is strongly recommended that the maintenance operations are performed by the factory-trained or distributor-trained technicians at yourHyundai dealer because of the need for specialized knowledge and tooling and to ensure that no possibility ofinvalidating the manufacturers war- ranty exists.
The maintenance schedules relate to
vehicles operated under normal con-ditions, vehicles which are operated under adverse conditions will requiremore frequent maintenance which is described at page 5-6. NOTE:
Service schedules may change de-
pending on individual country needs. Please ask your local Hyundai dealer for a copy of the service schedule that relates to thatcountry.
SF030B1-E
SERVICE HISTORY
It is important that all scheduled main-
tenance services are recorded in thewarranty and service passport to en-sure that proof of maintenance is avail- able when warranty service is required.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
7EXPLANATION OF SCHED- ULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
!
6ZF060M1-A
o 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. 6ZF060B1-A
o 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 ad- justed as necessary. 6ZF060C1-A
o Fuel filter
A clogged filter can limit the speed at
which the vehicle may be driven, dam-age the emission system and cause hard starting. If an excessive amountof foreign matter accumulates in the fuel tank, the filter may require re- placement more frequently. After installing a new filter, run the
engine for several minutes, and checkfor leaks at the connections.
F060D01TB-EAT
o Fuel lines, fuel hoses and con-
nections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and damage.Replace any damaged or leaking partsimmediately. WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine.High pressure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes are sub- jected to high pressure even afterthe engine has been switched off. The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it con-tacts with the body. People using pacemakers should not move closer than 12 in.(30 cm) to the ECUor wiring harness within the engine room with the engine running, since the high currents in the CommonRail system produce considerable magnetic fields.

6ZF070C1-A
o Coolant
The engine coolant should be changed
at the intervals specified in the main- tenance schedule. F060H01A-AAT
o Air cleaner filter
A Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is
recommended when the filter is re- placed.
6ZF060J1-A
o Spark plugs
(For Petrol Engine)
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.
6ZF070B1-A
o Cooling system
Check the cooling system part, such as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and connections for leakage and dam- age. Replace any damaged parts.
6ZF060G1-A o Vapour hose and fuel filler cap The vapour hose and fuel filler cap should be inspected at those intervals specified in the maintenance sched- ule. Make sure that a new vapourhose or fuel filler cap is correctly re- placed. 6ZF060F1-A
o Vacuum, crankcase
ventilation hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi-
dence of heat and/or mechanical dam-age. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessiveswelling indicate deterioration. Par- ticular attention should be paid to ex- amining those hose surfaces nearestto high heat sources, such as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure
that the hoses do not come in contactwith any heat source, sharp edges or moving component which might causeheat damage or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose connections, such as clamps and couplings, to make surethey are secure, and that no leaks are present. Hoses should be replaced immediately if there is any evidence ofdeterioration or damage.
6ZF060E1-A o Timing belt Replace timimg belt and inspect all associated parts related for damage and deformation. Replace any dam- aged parts immediately.

6ZF070D1-A
o Manual transaxle oil
Inspect the manual transaxle oil ac-
cording to the maintenance schedule. NOTE:
If the oil level is low, check for
possible leaks before adding oil. Do not overfill.
F070E03A-AAT
o Automatic transaxle fluid
The fluid level should be in the "HOT"
range of the dipstick, after engine and transaxle are at normal operating tem- perature. Check the AutomaticTransaxle Fluid level with the engine running and the transaxle in neutral, with the parking brake properly ap-plied. Use Hyundai Genuine ATF SP- III, DIAMOND ATF SP-III, SK ATF SP-III or other brands appraoved byHyundai Motor Co., when adding or changing fluid. 6ZF070F1-A
o Brake hoses and lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and anyleakage. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts immediately.
6ZF070G2-A
o 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.
6ZF070H1-A
o Rear brake drums and linings/ parking brake
Check the rear brake drums and lin-
ings for scoring, burning, leaking fluid, broken parts, and excessive wear. Inspect the parking brake system in-cluding the parking brake lever and cables. For detailed service proce- dures, refer to the Shop Manual. 6ZF070J1-A
o Brake pads, calipers and
rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear,discs for run out and wear, and cali- pers for fluid leakage. 6ZF070K1-A o Exhaust pipe and muffler Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler and hangers for cracks, dete- rioration, or damage. Start the engine and listen carefully for any exhaustgas leakage. Tighten connections or replace parts as necessary. 6ZF070L1-A
o Suspension mounting bolts
Check the suspension connections for looseness or damage. Retighten to the specified torque.

6ZF070P1-A
o Driveshafts and boots
Check the drive shafts, boots and clamps for cracks, deterioration, or damage. Replace any damaged parts and, if necessary, repack the grease. 6ZF070Q1-A
o Air conditioning refrigerant
Check the air conditioning lines and connections for leakage and damage.Check air conditioning performance according to the relevant shop manual if necessary.
6ZF070M1-A o Steering gear box, linkage &
boots/lower arm ball joint
With the vehicle stopped and engine off, check for excessive freeplay in the steering wheel. Check the linkage for bends or dam- age. Check the dust boots and ball joints for deterioration, cracks, or dam- age. Replace any damaged parts. 6ZF070N1-A
o Power steering pump, belt and hoses
Check the power steering pump and hoses for leakage and damage. Re-place any damaged or leaking parts immediately. Inspect the power steer- ing belt for evidence of cuts, cracks,excessive wear, oiliness and proper tension. Replace or adjust it if neces- sary.
