You should exercise the utmost care
to prevent damage to your vehicle
and injury to yourself whenever per-
forming any maintenance or inspec-
tion procedures. Inadequate, incom-
plete or insufficient servicing may
result in operational problems with
your vehicle that could lead to vehi-
cle damage, an accident, or person-
al injury.Owner's responsibility
Information
Maintenance Service and Record
Retention are the owner's responsibility.
We recommend in general that you
have your vehicle serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
You should retain documents that
show proper maintenance has been
performed on your vehicle in accor-
dance with the scheduled mainte-
nance service charts shown on the
following pages. You need this infor-
mation to establish your compliance
with the servicing and maintenance
requirements of your vehicle war-
ranties.
Detailed warranty information is pro-
vided in your Service Passport.
Repairs and adjustments required as
a result of improper maintenance or
a lack of required maintenance are
not covered when your vehicle is
covered by warranty.
Owner maintenance precau-
tions
Improper or incomplete service may
result in problems. This chapter gives
instructions only for the maintenance
items that are easy to perform.
Information
Improper owner maintenance during
the warranty period may affect war-
ranty coverage. For details, read the
separate Service Passport provided
with the vehicle. If you're unsure
about any servicing or maintenance
procedure, we recommend that the
system be serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Maintenance
• Do not put heavy objects or
apply excessive force on top of
the engine cover (if equipped) or
fuel related parts.
When you inspect the fuel sys-
tem (fuel lines and fuel injection
devices), we recommend that
you contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not drive long time with
the engine cover (if equipped)
removed.
When checking the engine
room, do not go near fire. Fuel,
washer fluid, etc. are flammable
oils that may cause fire.
Before touching the battery,
ignition cables and electrical
wiring, you should disconnect
the battery "-" terminal. You may
get an electric shock from the
electric current.

NOTICE
Maintenance work
Performing maintenance work
on a vehicle can be danger-
ous. You can be seriously
injured while performing some
maintenance procedures. If
you lack sufficient knowledge
and experience or the proper
tools and equipment to do the
work, we recommend that the
system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Working under the hood with
the engine running is danger-
ous. It becomes even more
dangerous when you wear
jewelry or loose clothing.
These can become entangled
in moving parts and result in
injury.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
Therefore, if you must run the
engine while working under the
hood, make certain that you
remove all jewelry (especially
rings, bracelets, watches, and
necklaces) and all neckties,
scarves, and similar loose
clothing before getting near the
engine or cooling fans.
Do not leave gloves, rags or any
other combustible material in
the engine compartment. Doing
so may cause a heat-induced
fire.

Maintenance
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 subject to high pres-
sure even after the engine
stopped. The fuel jet produced
by fuel leaks may cause serious
injury, if it touches the body.
People using pacemakers
should not move more than
30cm closer to the ECU or
wiring harness within the
engine room while engine is
running, since the high currents
in the electronic engine control
system produce considerable
magnetic fields.
WARNING (Continued)
When you remove the interior
trim cover with a flat head (-)
driver, be careful not to damage
the cover.
Be careful when you replace and
clean bulbs to avoid burns or
electrical shock.

The following lists are vehicle checks
and inspections that should be per-
formed at the frequencies indicated
to help ensure safe, dependable
operation of your vehicle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your deal-
er as soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance Checks
are generally not covered by war-
ranties and you may be charged for
labor, parts and lubricants used.Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
• Check the engine oil level.
Check the coolant level in coolant
reservoir.
Check the windshield washer fluid
level.
Look for low or under-inflated tires.
Check the radiator and condenser.
Check if the front of the radiator
and condenser are clean and not
blocked with leaves, dirt or insects
etc.
If any of the above parts are
extremely dirty or you are not sure
of their condition, we recommend
that you contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
While operating your vehicle:
Note any changes in the sound of
the exhaust or any smell of
exhaust fumes in the vehicle.
Check for vibrations in the steering
wheel. Notice any increased steer-
ing effort or looseness in the steer-
ing wheel, or change in its straight-
ahead position.
Notice if your vehicle constantly
turns slightly or "pulls" to one side
when traveling on smooth, level
road.
When stopping, listen and check
for unusual sounds, pulling to one
side, increased brake pedal travel
or "hard-to-push" brake pedal.
If any slipping or changes in the
operation of your transaxle occurs,
check the transaxle fluid level.
Check automatic transaxle P
(Park) function.
Check the parking brake.
Check for fluid leaks under your
vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal). Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the
engine is hot. Scalding hot
coolant and steam may blow
out under pressure. This could
cause burns or other serious
injury.

holes.
Lubricate the door hinges and
checks, and hood hinges.
Lubricate the door and hood locks
