Engine Oil and Filter
The engine oil and filter should be
changed at the intervals specified in
the maintenance schedule. If the car
is being driven in severe conditions,more frequent oil and filter changesare required.
Drive Belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil
saturation and replace if necessary.
Drive belts should be checked peri-
odically for proper tension and
adjusted as necessary.
Fuel Filter
A clogged-up fuel filter may limit the
vehicle driving speed, damage theemission system, and cause the
hard starting. When a considerable
amount of foreign substances are
accumulated in the fuel tank, the fuelfilter should be replaced. Upon installing a new fuel filter, oper-
ate the engine for several minutes,
and check the connections for any
leakages. Fuel filters should be
installed by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Fuel Lines, Fuel Hoses and Connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and dam-
age. Have an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer replace any damaged or leak-
ing parts immediately.
Vapor Hose and Fuel Filler Cap
The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should be inspected at those inter-
vals specified in the maintenance
schedule. Make sure a new vaporhose or fuel filler cap is correctlyreplaced.
Vacuum Crankcase Ventilation Hoses (if equipped)
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi- dence of heat and/or mechanical
damage. Hard and brittle rubber,
cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and
excessive swelling indicate deterio-
ration. Particular attention should be
paid to 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 con-
tact with any heat source, sharp
edges or moving component whichmight cause heat damage or
mechanical 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.

Air Cleaner Filter
A genuine HYUNDAI air cleaner filter is recommended when the filter isreplaced.
Spark Plugs
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.
Cooling System
Check cooling system components,
such as radiator, coolant reservoir,
hoses and connections for leakage
and damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
Engine Coolant
The coolant should be changed at
the intervals specified in the mainte-
nance schedule.
Automatic Transmission Fluid (if equipped)
Automatic transmission fluid should
not be checked under normal usage
conditions. But in severe conditions,the fluid should be changed at an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer inaccordance to the scheduled mainte-nance at the beginning of this chap-
ter.
Automatic transmission fluid
color is basically red.
As the vehicle is driven, the auto- matic transmission fluid will begin
to look darker. This is a normal
condition and you should not
judge the need to replace the fluid
based upon the changed color.

Maintenance
The use of a non-specified fluid could result in transmission
malfunction and failure. Use
only the specified automatic
transmission fluid (refer to"Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities" in chapter 8).
