Specified Scheduled Procedures Specified Scheduled ProceduresSpecified Scheduled Procedures Specified Scheduled Procedures
Specified Scheduled ProceduresThese are the procedures such as inspec-
tions, adjustments and replacements that are
listed in the maintenance charts starting on
page 5-3. These procedures must be per-
formed at the intervals shown in the mainte-
nance schedule to assure that your warranty
remains in effect. Although it is strongly rec-
ommended that they be performed by the
trained technicians at your Hyundai dealer,
these procedures may be performed at any
qualified service facility.
It is suggested that genuine Hyundai service
parts be used for any required repairs or
replacements. Other parts of equivalent qual-
ity such as engine oil, engine coolant, manual
or auto transaxle oil, brake fluid and so on
which are not supplied by Hyundai Motor
Company or its distributor may be used with-
out affecting your warranty coverage but you
should always be sure these are equivalent to
the quality of the original Hyundai parts. Your
Owner's Handbook provides further informa-
tion about your warranty coverage.

Service Requirements
To ensure that you receive the greatest num-
ber of miles of satisfying operation from your
Hyundai, certain maintenance procedures
must be performed. Although careful design
and engineering have reduced these to a
minimum, those that are required are of the
utmost importance.
It is your responsibility to have these mainte-
nance procedures performed to comply with
the terms of the warranties covering your new
Hyundai. The Owner's Handbook supplied
with your new vehicle provides further infor-
mation about these warranties.

Maintenance RequirementsThe maintenance required for your Hyundai
can be divided into three main areas:
o Specified scheduled procedures
o General checks
o Do-it-yourself maintenance

A Few Tips A Few TipsA Few Tips A Few Tips
A Few Tipso Whenever you have your Hyundai ser-
viced, keep copies of the service records
in your glovebox. This will help assure you
can document the required procedures
being performed to keep your warranties
in effect. This is especially important when
service is not performed by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
o If you choose to do your own maintenance
and repairs, you may find it helpful to have
an official Hyundai Shop Manual. A copy of
this publication may be purchased at your
Hyundai dealer's parts department.

ment more frequently.
After installing a new filter, run the engine for
several minutes, and check for leaks at the
connections. Fuel filters should be installed by
trained technicians.

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 contact with any heat
source, sharp edges or moving component
which might cause heat damage or mechani-
cal wear. Inspect all hose connections, such
as clamps and couplings, to make sure they
are secure, and that no leaks are present.
Hoses should be replaced immediately if there
is any evidence of deterioration or damage.
