NORMAL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The following maintenance services must be performed to ensure good emission control and performance. Keep
receipts for all vehicle emission services to protect your warranty. Where both kilometres and time are shown, the fre-
quency of service is determined by whichever occurs first.
*1: If good quality petrol meeting Europe Fuel standards
(EN228) or equivalent, including fuel additives is not avail-
able, one bottle of additive is recommended. Additives are
available from your authorised HYUNDAI dealer along with
information on how to use them. Do not mix with other addi-
tives.
*
2: Check the engine oil level and leak every 500 km or before
starting a long trip.
*
3: The fuel filter is considered to be maintenance free but peri-
odic inspection is recommended as this maintenance
schedule depends on fuel quality. If there are some impor-
tant issues such as fuel flow restriction, surging, loss of
power, hard starting problems etc., replace the fuel filter
immediately regardless of maintenance schedule and we
recommend that you consult an authorised HYUNDAI deal-
er for details.*

belt) and air conditioner drive belt (if equipped).
Inspect and if necessary repair or replace.

for your vehicle and never mix hard water with the coolant
filled at the factory. An improper coolant mixture can result in
serious malfunction or engine damage.

cle has been submerged in water.
