If it is near or at L (Low), add enough
oil to bring the level to F (Full).
Do not overfill.
Use a funnel to help prevent oil from
being spilled on engine components.
Use only the specified engine oil.
(Refer to "Recommended lubricantsand capacities" in chapter 8.)
Changing the engine oil and filter
We recommend that the engine oil
and filter be replaced by an author
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
Used engine oil may cause skin
irritation or cancer if left in contact
with the skin for prolonged periods
of time. Used engine oil contains
chemicals that have caused can
cer in laboratory animals. Always
protect your skin by washing your
hands thoroughly with soap and
warm water as soon as possible
after handling used oil.

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.

When recharging the battery,
observe the following precautions:
•Before performing maintenance or
recharging the battery, turn off all
accessories and stop the engine.

flame near the battery.
•Wear eye protection when
checking the battery during
charging.
•The battery must be removed
from the vehicle and placed in
an area with good ventilation.
•Watch the battery during charg
ing, and stop or reduce the
charging rate if the battery cells
begin gassing (boiling) violently
or if the temperature of the elec
trolyte of any cell exceeds 49°C
(120°F).

WARNING (Continued)
•The negative battery cable must
be removed first and installed
last when the battery is discon
nected.
•Disconnect the battery charger in
the following order.

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

Fuse replacement
•Never replace a fuse with any
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.
WARNING

Maintenance
•Water washing in the engine com
partment including high pressure
water washing may cause the fail
ure of electrical circuits located in
the engine compartment.
•Never allow water or other liquids to
come in contact with electrical/elec
tronic components inside the vehi
cle as this may damage them.
Waxing
Wax the vehicle when water will no
longer bead on the paint.
Always wash and dry the vehicle
before waxing. Use a good quality
liquid or paste wax, and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. Wax all
metal trim to protect it and to main
tain its luster.
Removing oil, tar, and similar materi
als with a spot remover will usually
strip the wax from the finish. Be sure to
rewax these areas even if the rest of
the vehicle does not yet need waxing.
•Wiping dust or dirt off the body with
a dry cloth will scratch the finish.
•Do not use steel wool, abrasive
cleaners, or strong detergents con
taining highly alkaline or caustic
agents on chromeplated or
anodized aluminum parts. This may
result in damage to the protective
coating and cause discoloration or
paint deterioration.
Finish damage repair
Deep scratches or stone chips in the
painted surface must be repaired
promptly. Exposed metal will quickly
rust and may develop into a major
repair expense.
Information
If your vehicle is damaged and
requires any metal repair or replace
ment, be sure the body shop applies
anticorrosion materials to the parts
repaired or replaced.

in everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.

Specifications & Consumer information
Recommended SAE viscosity
number
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has
an effect on fuel economy and cold
weather operating (engine start and
engine oil flowability). Lower viscosi
ty engine oils can provide better fuel
economy and cold weather perform
ance, however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfac
tory lubrication in hot weather. Using
oils of any viscosity other than those
recommended could result in engine
damage. When choosing an oil, consider the
range of temperature your vehicle
will be operated in before the next oil
change.
Proceed to select the recommended
oil viscosity from the chart.
Always be sure to clean the area
around any filler plug, drain plug,
or dipstick before checking or
draining any lubricant. This is
especially important in dusty or
sandy areas and when the vehicle
is used on unpaved roads.
Cleaning the plug and dipstick
areas will prevent dirt and grit from
entering the engine and other
mechanisms that could be dam
aged.
