To assure that you receive the greatest number
of kilometers of satisfying operation from your Hyundai, certain maintenance procedures must
be performed. Although careful design and en-
gineering 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 theterms of the warranties covering your newHyundai. The Service Passport supplied withyour new vehicle provides further information
about these warranties. F010B01A-AAT

The maintenance required for your Hyundai
can be divided into three main areas:
o Specified scheduled procedures
o General everyday checks
o Do-it-yourself maintenance F010C01A-GAT

Specified Scheduled Procedures
These are the procedures such as inspections,
adjustments and replacements that are listed in the maintenance charts starting on page 5-2.These procedures must be performed at theintervals 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 orauto transaxle oil, brake fluid and so on which
are not supplied by Hyundai Motor Company or
its distributor may be used without affectingyour warranty coverage but you should always
be sure these are equivalent to the quality of theoriginal Hyundai parts. Your Service Passport
provides further information about your warran-ty coverage. F010E01A-AAT

of items. For more information about doing ityourself, see Section 6.

A Few Tips
o Whenever you have your Hyundai serviced,
keep copies of the service records in your
glovebox. This will help ensure that you candocument that the required procedures have
been performed to keep your warranties ineffect. This is especially important when
service is not performed by an authorizedHyundai dealer.
o If you choose to do your own maintenance and repairs, you may find it helpful to havean official Hyundai Shop Manual. A copy of
this publication may be purchased at yourHyundai dealer's parts department.

Before checking the oil, warm up the engine to
the normal operating temperature and be sure your car is parked on level ground. Turn theengine off.
Wait a minute, then remove the dipstick, wipe it
off, fully reinsert the dipstick and withdraw itagain. Then note the highest level the oil hasreached on the dipstick. It should be betweenthe upper ("FULL") and lower ("LOW") range. If the oil level is close to or below the "L" mark,add oil until it reaches the "F" mark. To add oil:
1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counter-
clockwise.
2. Add oil, then check the level again. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clockwise. The distance between the "F" and "L" marks is equal to about 1 liter of oil. G350A01A-GAT

Engine oil consumption
Engine oil consumption
It is normal that an engine should consume
some engine oil while normal driving. The causeof oil consumption in a normal engine are asfollows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall when a piston moves downwards in thecylinder. High negative pressure generated
during engine operation sucks some of theoil into the combustion chamber. This oil with some oil of the cylinder wall is
burned by the high temperature combustiongases during the combustion process.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly ef- fected by the viscosity and quality of oil,engine rpm and driving condition etc. Theengine oil is more consumed under severedriving conditions such as high speeds and
frequent acceleration and deceleration thannormal driving condition.

The cooling system must be main-tained with the correct concentration and typeof engine coolant to prevent freezing and corro-sion. Never allow the concentration of antifreeze to exceed the 60% level or go below the 35% levelor damage to the coolant system may result.
