What to do in an emergency
When towing your vehicle in an
emergency without wheel dollies :
1.Set the engine start/stop button in
the ACC position.
2.Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
3.Release the parking brake.

CAUTION
• Do not tow the vehicle with the
rear wheels on the ground as
this may cause damage to the
vehicle.
• Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use wheel lift or
flatbed equipment.
CAUTION
Failure to place the shift lever in
N (Neutral) may cause internal
damage to the transmission.
CAUTION
If the ECS malfunction indicator
illuminates when there is no air
in the suspension, the vehicle
height will be very lower, so do
not drive to protect the vehicle
from the projections on the sur-
face of the ground.
We recommend that you take
your vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer by towing the
vehicle and have the system
checked. You should tow the
vehicle as the picture.

• Use a towing strap less than 5 m
(16 feet) long. Attach a white or red
cloth (about 30 cm (12 inches)
wide) in the middle of the strap for
easy visibility.
• Drive carefully so that the towing
strap is not loosened during tow-
ing.
Emergency towing precautions
• Place the engine start/stop button
in ACC so the steering wheel isn’t
locked.
• Place the transmission shift lever in
N (Neutral).
• Release the parking brake.
• Press the brake pedal with more
force than normal since you will
have reduced brake performance.
• More steering effort will be
required because the power steer-
ing system will be disabled.
• If you are driving down a long hill,
the brakes may overheat and brake
performance will be reduced. Stop
often and let the brakes cool off.WARNING
Use extreme caution when tow-
ing the vehicle.
• Avoid sudden starts or erratic
driving maneuvers which
would place excessive stress
on the emergency towing
hook and towing cable or
chain. The hook and towing
cable or chain may break and
cause serious injury or dam-
age.
• If the disabled vehicle is
unable to be moved, do not
forcibly continue the towing.
We recommend that you con-
tact an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer or a commercial tow
truck service for assistance.
• Tow the vehicle as straight
ahead as possible.
• Keep away from the vehicle
during towing.

What to do in an emergency
CAUTION - Automatic
transmission
• If the car is being towed with
all four wheels on the ground,
it can be towed only from the
front. Be sure that the trans-
mission is in neutral. Be sure
the steering is unlocked by
placing the ignition switch in
the ACC position. A driver
must be in the towed vehicle
to operate the steering and
brakes.
• To avoid serious damage to
the automatic transmission,
limit the vehicle speed to 15
km/h (10 mph) and drive less
than 1.5 km (1 mile ) when
towing.
• Before towing, check the auto-
matic transmission fluid leak
under your vehicle. If the auto-
matic transmission fluid is
leaking, a flatbed equipment
or towing dolly must be used.

Maintenance
OWNER MAINTENANCE
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 coolant level in coolant
reservoir.
• Check the windshield washer fluid
level.
• Look for low or under-inflated tires.
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 transmission
occurs, check the transmission
fluid level.
• Check automatic transmission P
(Park) function.
• Check parking brake.
• Check for fluid leaks under your
vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).
WARNING
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.

Maintenance
8 7
At least monthly:
• Check coolant level in the engine
coolant reservoir.
• Check the operation of all exterior
lights, including the stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flash-
ers.
• Check the inflation pressures of all
tires including the spare.
At least twice a year
(i.e., every Spring and Fall):
• Check radiator, heater and air con-
ditioning hoses for leaks or dam-
age.
• Check windshield washer spray
and wiper operation. Clean wiper
blades with clean cloth dampened
with washer fluid.
• Check headlight alignment.
• Check muffler, exhaust pipes,
shields and clamps.
• Check the lap/shoulder belts for
wear and function.
• Check for worn tires and loose
wheel lug nuts.
At least once a year:
• Clean body and door drain holes.
• Lubricate door hinges and checks,
and hood hinges.
• Lubricate door and hood locks and
latches.
• Lubricate door rubber weather-
strips.
• Check the air conditioning system.
• Check the power steering fluid
level.
• Inspect and lubricate automatic
transmission linkage and controls.
• Clean battery and terminals.
• Check the brake fluid level.

Maintenance
Air cleaner filter
We recommend that the air cleaner
filter be replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Spark plugs
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.
Valve clearance (3.8L)
Inspect excessive valve noise and/or
engine vibration and adjust if neces-
sary.
We recommend that the system be
serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Cooling system
Check cooling system components,
such as radiator, coolant reservoir,
hoses and connections for leakage
and damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
Coolant
The coolant should be changed at
the intervals specified in the mainte-
nance schedule.
Automatic transmission fluid
Automatic transmission fluid should
not be checked under normal usage
conditions.
We recommend that the automatic
transmission fluid be replaced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer accord-
ing to the maintenance schedule.
✽NOTICE
Automatic transmission fluid color
is basically red.
As the vehicle is driven, the auto-
matic transmission fluid will begin
to look darker.
It is normal condition and you
should not judge the need to replace
the fluid based upon the changed
color.
CAUTION
The use of a non-specified fluid
could result in transmission
malfunction and failure.
Use only specified automatic
transmission fluid. (Refer to
“Recommended lubricants and
capacities” in section 8.)
WARNING
Do not disconnect and inspect
spark plugs when the engine is
hot. You may burn yourself.

Refer to “Fuel requirements” in section 1
To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only lubricants of the proper quality.
The correct lubricants also help promote engine efficiency that results in improved fuel economy.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.
*1: Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
*2: Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducing
the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in everyday driving, but in a year’s
time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
*
3: If the API service SM or ACEA A5 engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use API service SL or ACEA A3.
