You should give the utmost care and
attention to prevention of a vehicle
damage as well as a personal injury,
while maintaining or inspecting your
vehicle.
When you have any doubts concern-
ing the inspection or the vehicle
service, we strongly recommend that
you have an authorized EQUUS
dealer inspect or maintain your vehi-
cle. An authorized EQUUS dealer
has factory-trained technicians and
authorized HYUNDAI parts to prop-
erly maintain your vehicle. For the
quality advices and services, contact
an authorized EQUUS dealer.
Inadequate, incomplete or insuffi-
cient vehicle maintenance may result
in operational problems of your vehi-
cle, possibly leading to a vehicle
damage, an accident, or a personal
injury.Owner’s responsibility Information
Maintenance Service and Record
Retention are the owner's responsibil-
ity.
You should keep the records of your
proper maintenance history in accor-
dance with the maintenance service
schedule on the following pages. You
need to refer to the maintenance
schedule information of the following
pages in order to satisfy the warran-
ty requirements of your vehicle.
You can find more warranty informa-
tion in the Owner’s Handbook &
Warranty Information booklet.
Your vehicle warranty does not cover
the repair expenses, incurred by your
improper or insufficient maintenance.
We recommend having your vehicle
maintained and repaired by an
authorized EQUUS dealer.
An authorized EQUUS dealer meets
HYUNDAI’s high service quality stan-
dards and receives technical support

Owner's maintenance precau-
tions
Improper or incomplete maintenance
may lead to a vehicle problem. This
section is to instruct only the simple
maintenance procedures that are
easy to perform.
As written above, complex mainte-
nance procedures must be done only
by an authorized EQUUS dealer with
special tools.
Information
Improper vehicle maintenance may
affect your warranty coverage, even
before the warranty expires. For more
information, refer to the separate
Owner’s Handbook & Warranty
Information booklet. When you are
unsure about any services or mainte-
nance procedures, contact an author-
ized EQUUS dealer.
i
Maintenance- Vehicle maintenance
Vehicle maintenance may bedangerous procedures. You
may be seriously injured
while performing some main-
tenance procedures. When
you do not have sufficient
maintenance knowledge and
experience, or you are not
equipped with the proper
tools, have those done by an
authorized EQUUS dealer.
Maintenance, with the hood opened and with the engine
running, is dangerous. It
becomes even more danger-
ous, when you wear jewelry or
loose clothes. Those items
may become entangled in
moving parts and result in a
injury.
Therefore, when you must run
the engine and open the hood,
you must take off all jewelry
(i.e. rings, bracelets, watches
and necklaces), ties, scarves,
and loose clothes before
approaching the engine or
cooling fans.

Make sure that the clear vent hose
is connected between the battery
nipple at the back and the vehicle

exit of the battery vapors, not
remaining inside the trunk, when
vaporizing.

- Battery dangers
Always carefully follow
the below instructions,
when handling a battery.
Keep cigarettes lits, sparks, or all other
flames away from the
battery.
Hydrogen, which is high- ly combustible, always
exists inside the battery,
and may explode upon
being ignited.
Keep the battery out of the reach of children, as
it contains highly corro-
sive SULFURIC ACID. Do
not allow the battery
acid to contact your
skin, eyes, clothes or the
vehicle paint.
When electrolyte getsinto your eyes, immedi-
ately flush your eyes
with clean water for at
least 15 minutes and get
medical attention. When
electrolyte gets on your
skin, thoroughly wash
the contacted area. When
you feel pain or burning
sensation, immediately
get medical attention.

WARNING

To assure the proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use
only lubricants of the proper quality.
The proper lubricants also promote engine efficiency, leading to a better fuel
economy.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.
*1Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
*
2Engine oils, labeled as 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 significantly reduce costs and
deliver energy savings.
*
3When the API service SM engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use API service SL.

Recommended SAE viscosity number
Always be sure to clean the filler-plug area, drain plug, or dipstick before
checking or draining any lubricant. This is especially important in dusty
or sandy areas or after driving on an unpaved road. The practice to
maintain the plug and dipstick areas clean prevents dirt and grit from
entering the engine or the other mechanisms, which may be damaged.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) effects the fuel economy and the driving in a
cold weather (engine start and engine oil flow). Engine oils of the lower vis-
cosity improves the fuel economy and driving performance in a cold weather.
However, engine oil of the higher viscosity are required for sufficient lubrica-
tion in a hot weather.
Using oils out of the recommended viscosity may damage the engine. When
choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature, in which your vehicle
drives. Find the recommended oil viscosity from the chart.

of a viscosity grade SAE 5W-20 (API Service SM / ILSAC GF-4).
However, when this engine oil is unavailable in your country, select
a proper engine, using the engine oil viscosity chart.
