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.
We recommend you have your vehi-
cle maintained and repaired by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer. An
authorized HYUNDAI dealer meets
HYUNDAI’s high service quality
standards and receives technical
support from HYUNDAI in order to
provide you with a high level of serv-
ice satisfaction.
Owner's Responsibility
Maintenance service and record
retention are the owner's responsibil-
ity.
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.
Owner Maintenance Precautions
Inadequate, incomplete or insuffi-
cient servicing may result in opera-
tional problems with your vehicle that
could lead to vehicle damage, an
accident, or personal injury. This
chapter provides instructions only forthe maintenance items that are easy
to perform. Several procedures can
be done only by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer with special tools.
Your vehicle should not be modified
in any way. Such modifications may
adversely affect the performance,
safety or durability of your vehicle
and may, in addition, violate condi-
tions of the limited warranties cover-
ing the vehicle.
Improper owner maintenance dur-
ing the warranty period may affect
warranty coverage. For details,
read the separate Service
Passport provided with the vehi-
cle. If you're unsure about any

dure, have it done by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
