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.
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.
When you are inspecting the belt,
place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF or ACC position.
Fuel filter
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 authoized 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 authoized HYUNDAI
dealer.
NOTICE
Diesel Engine
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
ject to high pressure even after
the engine stopped. The fuel jet
produced by fuel leaks may cause
serious injury, if it touch the body.
People using pacemakers should
not move than 30cm closer to the
ECU or wiring harness within the
engine room while engine is run
ning, since the high currents in the
Common Rail system produce
considerable magnetic fields.
WARNING

Maintenance
Recommended engine coolant
• Use only soft (distilled) water in thecoolant mixture.
• The engine in your vehicle has alu minum engine parts and must be
protected by an ethyleneglycol
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.
For mixture percentage, refer to the
following table.
Changing the coolant
We recommend that the coolant be
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Put a thick cloth or fabric around the
radiator cap before refilling the
coolant in order to prevent the
coolant from overflowing into engine
parts such as the alternator.

•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.
WARNING

7-38
Maintenance
Do not allow brake/clutch fluid to
contact the vehicle's body paint, as
paint damage will result.
Brake/clutch 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 properly disposed. Don't
put in the wrong kind of fluid. A few
drops of mineralbased oil, such as
engine oil, in your brake/clutch sys
tem can damage brake/clutch system
parts.
NOTICE
Brake/clutch fluid
When changing and adding
brake/clutch fluid, handle it care
fully. Do not let it come in contact
with your eyes. If brake/clutch fluid
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.

Maintenance
WAShER FluId
Checking the washer fluid level
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. Do not use engine coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid reser
voir.
Checking the parking brake
Check the stroke of the parking
brake by counting the number of
“clicks’’ heard while fully applying it
from the released position.
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 inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Stroke : 6~8 “clicks’’ at a force of 20
kg (44 lbs, 196 N).

cause loss of vehicle control or
damage to paint and body trim.
•Windshield Washer fluid agents
contain some amounts of alco
hol and can be flammable under
certain circumstances. Do not
allow sparks or flame to contact
the washer fluid or the washer
fluid reservoir. Damage to the
vehicle or occupants could
occur.
•Windshield washer fluid is poi

Wheel replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for
any reason, make sure the new
wheels are equivalent to the original
factory units in diameter, rim width
and offset.
Replacing tires
To reduce the chance or serious
or fatal injuries from an accident
caused by tire failure or loss of
vehicle control:
•Replace tires that are worn,
show uneven wear, or are dam
aged. Worn tires can cause loss
of braking effectiveness, steer
ing control, and traction.
•Do not drive your vehicle with
too little or too much pressure in
your tires. This can lead to
uneven wear and tire failure.
•When replacing tires, never mix
radial and biasply tires on the
same car. You must replace all
tires (including the spare) if mov
ing from radial to biasply tires.
(Continued)
(Continued)
WARNING •Using tires and wheel other than
the recommended sizes could
cause unusual handling charac
teristics and poor vehicle con
trol, resulting in a serious acci
dent.
•Wheels that do not meet
HYUNDAI's specifications may
fit poorly and result in damage to
the vehicle or unusual handling
and poor vehicle control.
•The ABS works by comparing
the speed of the wheels. Tire
size can affect wheel speed.
When replacing tires, all 4 tires
must use the same size original
ly supplied with the vehicle.
Using tires of a different size can
cause the ABS (Antilock Brake
System) and ESC (Electronic
Stability Control) to work irregu
larly. (if equipped)
A wheel that is not the correct size
may adversely affect wheel and
bearing life, braking and stopping
abilities, handling characteristics,
ground clearance, bodytotire
clearance, snow chain clearance,
speedometer and odometer cali
bration, headlight aim and bumper
height.
