FuEl FIlTER (FOR dIESEl)
Draining water from fuel filter
The fuel filter for diesel engine plays
an important role of separating water
from fuel and accumulating the water
in its bottom.
If water accumulates in the fuel filter,
the warning light comes on when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.If this warning light turned
on, we recommend that the
system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
If the water accumulated in the fuel
filter is not drained at proper times,
damages to the major parts such as
the fuel system can be caused by
water permeation in the fuel filter.
Extracting air from the fuel filter
If you drive until you have no fuel left
or if you replace the fuel filter, be
sure to extract air from the fuel sys
tem as it makes it difficult to start the
engine.
1. Pump up and down(1) approxi mately 50 times until the pump is
hard.
2. Extract air from the fuel filter by removing the bolt(2) with a cross
tip screw driver and reinstall thebolt(2).
3. Pump up and down(1) approxi mately 15 times. 4. Extract air from the fuel filter by
removing the bolt(2) with a cross
tip screw driver and reinstall thebolt(2).
5. Pump up and down(1) approxi mately 5 times.
Information
• Use cloths when you extract air so that the fuel is not sprayed around.
• Clean the fuel around the fuel filter or the injection pump before start
ing the engine to prevent fire.
• Finally, check each part if the fuel is leaking.i

WIPER BlAdES
Blade inspection
Information
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windshield diffi
cult to clean. Contamination of either the wind
shield or the wiper blades with for
eign matter can reduce the effective
ness of the windshield wipers.
Common sources of contamination
are insects, tree sap, and hot wax
treatments used by some commer
cial car washes. If the blades are not
wiping properly, clean both the win
dow and the blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse
thoroughly with clean water. To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use gasoline,
kerosene, paint thinner, or other sol
vents on or near them.
Blade replacement
When the wipers no longer clean
adequately, the blades may be worn
or cracked, and require replacement.
To prevent damage to the wiper
arms or other components, do not
attempt to move the wipers manual
ly.
The use of a nonspecified wiper
blade could result in wiper malfunc
tion and failure.

nal (ve) of the Battery to prevent
Discharge.
Information
Basically equipped battery is mainte
nance free type. If your vehicle is
equipped with the battery marked with MIN and MAX on the side, you
can check the electrolyte level. The
electrolyte level should be between
MIN and MAX. If the electrolyte level is low, it needs to add distilled (dem
ineralized) water (Never add sulfuric
acid or other electrolyte).
When refill, be careful not to splash
the battery and adjacent components.
And do not overfill the battery cells. It
can cause corrosion on other parts.
After then ensure that tighten the cell
caps. We recommend that you contact
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
If the Electrolyte level is Low, Add
distilled ( demineralized ) water.
Never add sulfuric acid or other elec
trolyte.
