Maintenance
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.

Maintenance
Vapor hose and fuel filler cap
The vapor hose and fuel filler cap
should be inspected at those inter
vals specified in the maintenance
schedule. Make sure that a new
vapor hose or fuel filler cap is cor
rectly replaced.
Vacuum crankcase ventilation
hoses (if equipped)
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi
dence of heat and/or mechanical
damage. Hard and brittle rubber,
cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and
excessive swelling indicate deterio
ration. Particular attention should be
paid to examine those hose surfaces
nearest to high heat sources, such
as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure
that the hoses do not come in con
tact with any heat source, sharpedges or moving component which
might cause heat damage or
mechanical wear. Inspect all hose
connections, such as clamps and
couplings, to make sure they are
secure, and that no leaks are pres
ent. Hoses should be replaced
immediately if there is any evidence
of deterioration or damage.
Air cleaner filter
We recommend that the air cleaner
filter be replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Spark plugs
(For gasoline engine)
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.
Do not disconnect and inspect
spark plugs when the engine is
hot. You may burn yourself.
WARNING

Maintenance
Valve clearance
(For gasoline engine)
Inspect excessive valve noise and/or
engine vibration and adjust if neces
sary.
We recommend that the system be
serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Engine coolant
Check cooling system components,
such as radiator, coolant reservoir,
hoses and connections for leakage
and damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
Engine coolant
The coolant should be changed at
the intervals specified in the mainte
nance schedule.
Manual transaxle fluid
(if equipped)
Inspect the manual transaxle fluid
according to the maintenance sched
ule.
Automatic transaxle fluid
(if equipped)
Automatic transaxle fluid should not
be checked under normal usage
conditions.
We recommend that the automatic
transaxle fluid changed by an author
ized HYUNDAI dealer according to
the maintenance schedule.
Information
Automatic transaxle fluid color is
basically red.
As the vehicle is driven, the automatic
transaxle fluid will begin to look darker.
It is normal condition and you should
not judge the need to replace the fluid
based upon the changed color.
The use of a nonspecified fluid
could result in transaxle malfunction
and failure.
Use only specified automatic
transaxle fluid. (Refer to
"Recommended lubricants and
capacities" in chapter 8.)

AIR ClEANER
Filter replacement
You can clean the filter when inspect
ing the air cleaner element.
Clean the filter by using compressed
air.
1. Loosen the air cleaner cover attaching clips and open the cover. 2. Wipe the inside of the air cleaner.
3. Replace the air cleaner filter.
4. Lock the cover with the cover
attaching clips. Replace the filter according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
If the vehicle is operated in extreme
ly dusty or sandy areas, replace the element more often than the usualrecommended intervals. (Refer to“Maintenance under severe usageconditions” in this chapter.)
•Do not drive with the air cleaner
removed; this will result in exces
sive engine wear.
•When removing the air cleaner fil
ter, be careful that dust or dirt does
not enter the air intake, or damage
may result.
•We recommend that you use parts
for replacement from an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

ClIMATE CONTROl AIR FIlTER (IF EquIPPEd)
Filter inspection
If the vehicle is operated in the
severely airpolluted 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.
Filter replacement
1. Open the glove box.2. Push in both sides of the glove box

Maintenance
EMISSION CONTROl SYSTEM
The emission control system of your
vehicle is covered by a written limited
warranty. Please see the warranty
information contained in the Service
Passport in your vehicle.
Your vehicle is equipped with an
emission control system to meet all
emission regulations.
There are three emission control
systems which are as follows.
(1) Crankcase emission control system
(2) Evaporative emission control sys tem
(3) Exhaust emission control system
In order to assure the proper function
of the emission control systems, it is
recommended that you have your
car inspected and maintained by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer in
accordance with the maintenance
schedule in this manual.1. Crankcase emission control
system
The positive crankcase ventilation
system is employed to prevent air
pollution caused by blowby gases
being emitted from the crankcase.
This system supplies fresh filtered air
to the crankcase through the air
intake hose. Inside the crankcase,
the fresh air mixes with blowby
gases, which then pass through the
PCV valve into the induction system.
2. Evaporative emission control
system
The Evaporative Emission Control
System is designed to prevent fuel
vapors from escaping into the atmos
phere.
Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel
tank are absorbed and stored in the
onboard canister. When the engine is
running, the fuel vapors absorbed in
the canister are drawn into the surge
tank through the purge control sole
noid valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve(PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve is
controlled by the Engine Control
Module (ECM); when the engine
coolant temperature is low during
idling, the PCSV closes so that evap
orated fuel is not taken into the
engine. After the engine warms up
during ordinary driving, the PCSV
opens to introduce evaporated fuel to
the engine.
