Engine oil and filter
The engine oil and filter should be
changed at the interval, as specified
in the maintenance schedule. After
driving in severe conditions, you
should more frequently change oil
and filters.
Drive belts
Inspect all belts for any cut, crack,
excessive wear-out, or oil saturation.
If necessary, replace it.
Fuel filter
A clogged filter may limit the acceler-
ating function, damage the emission
system and cause other problems,
such as hard starting. When an
excessive amount of foreign sub-
stances accumulate in the fuel tank,
you should more frequently replace
the filter. After installing a new filter,
run the engine for several minutes,
and check for any leakage from the
connections. Fuel filters should be
installed by an authorized EQUUS
dealer.
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and con-
nections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for any leakage and
damage. Immediately have an
authorized EQUUS dealer replace
any damaged or leaking parts.
Vapor hose and fuel filler cap
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for any leakage and
damage. Immediately have an
authorized EQUUS dealer replace
any damaged or leaking parts.
Air cleaner filter
An authorized HYUNDAI air cleaner
filter is recommended.
Spark plugs
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.
Cooling system
Check the cooling system compo-
nents, such as radiator, coolant
reservoir, hoses and connections, for
any leakage and damage. If neces-
sary, replace any damaged parts.
Coolant
The coolant should be changed at
the interval, as specified in the main-
tenance schedule.
Automatic transmission fluid
You do not need to check the auto-
matic transmission fluid, when driv-
ing under normal conditions.
However, after driving in severe con-
ditions, the fluid should be changed
by an authorized EQUUS dealer in
accordance with the maintenance
schedule, as specified in the begin-
ning of this chapter.
Information
The original color of the automatic
transmission fluid is red. However, as
you drive the vehicle, the color will
become darker. This is normal, and
you do not need to change the fluid
due to the changed color.

Maintenance
Changing the engine oil and
filter
Have engine oil and filter changed by
an authorized EQUUS dealer in
accordance with the Maintenance
Schedule, as specified in the begin-
ning of this chapter.
Engine oil contains chemicals
known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects
and reproductive harm. Used
engine oil may cause irritation
or cancer of the skin if left in
contact with the skin for pro-
longed periods of time. Always
protect your skin by washing
your hands thoroughly with
soap and warm water as soon
as possible after handling used
oil.

Maintenance07
Changing the coolant
Have coolant changed by an author-
ized EQUUS dealer in accordance
with the Maintenance Schedule, as
specified in the beginning of this
chapter.
Cover a thick cloth around the
radiator cap, before refilling the
coolant, in order to prevent the
coolant spillage over the engine
parts, such as the generator.
NOTICE
OVI075005N
Radiator cap
Do not remove the radiator cap,
when the engine and radiator
are hot. Hot coolant and steam
may blow out under pressure
and burn your skin, causing a
serious injury.
WARNING
- Coolant
Do not fill the radiator coolant or antifreeze in the washer
fluid reservoir.
Radiator coolant may obscure your visibility, when sprayed
on the windshield. This may
cause loss of vehicle control,
or damage the paint and body
trim.

Maintenance
4. Replace the air cleaner filter.
5. Lock the cover with clips.
Chamber air cleaner
1. Loosen the clips and open the cover. 2. Pull up the locking tab (1) and
replace the air cleaner filter.
3. Lock the cover with the clips.
Replace the filter in accordance with
the Maintenance Schedule.
When the vehicle drives in extremely dusty or sandy areas, replace the fil-ter more often than the recommend-ed interval. (Refer to “Maintenanceunder severe usage conditions” inthis chapter.)
Do not drive without the air cleaner filter. This may exces-
sively wear out the engine.
When replacing the air cleaner filter, be careful that dust or dirt
does not enter the air intake.
Otherwise, this may damage the
vehicle.
Use only an authorized HYUNDAI genuine part. Use of
unauthorized parts may damage
the air flow sensor.

Maintenance07
The emission control system of your
vehicle is covered by a written limited
warranty. Please refer to the Owner’s
Handbook & Warranty Information
booklet for more warranty information.
Your vehicle is equipped with an
emission control system to meet all
applicable emission regulations.
Below are the three emission control
systems.
(1) Crankcase emission control sys-tem
(2) Evaporative emission control sys- tem
(3) Exhaust emission control system
In order to assure the proper opera-
tion of the emission control systems,
it is recommended that you have
your car inspected and maintained
by an authorized EQUUS dealer in
accordance with the maintenance
schedule in this manual.
Caution for the Inspection and
Maintenance Test (With Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system)
To prevent a misfiring during a dynamometer test, press the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system OFF.
After a dynamometer test, turn ON the ESC system back.1. Crankcase emission control system
The positive crankcase ventilation
system is to prevent the gas emis-
sion from the crankcase and to
reduce the air pollution. This system
supplies filtered-out, fresh air to the
crankcase through the air intake
hose. Inside the crankcase, the fil-
tered-out air mixes with gases, which
then pass through the PCV valve into
the induction system.
2. Evaporative emission control(including ORVR: Onboard
Refueling Vapor Recovery)
system
The Evaporative Emission Control
System is designed to prevent fuel
vapor emission into the atmosphere.
(The ORVR system is designed to
keep the fuel vapors in a canister
while being refueled at the gas sta-
tion, preventing the fuel vapor emis-
sion into the atmosphere.)
Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel
tank are absorbed and stored in the
onboard canister. When the engine is
running, the fuel vapors are
absorbed in the canister, and are
drawn into the engine intake mani-
fold through the purge control sole-
noid valve.
