What to do in an emergency
6
Use a towing cable or chain less
than 5 m long. Attach a white or red
cloth (about 30 cm wide) in the
middle of the cable or chain for
easy visibility.
Drive carefully so the towing cable
or chain remains tight during towing.
Before towing, check the automatic
transmission/dual clutch transmis-
sion for fluid leaks under your vehi-
cle. If the automatic transmission
fluid is leaking, flatbed equipment
or a towing dolly must be used.Accelerate or decelerate the vehi-
cle in a slow and gradual manner
while maintaining tension on the
tow rope or chain to start or drive
the vehicle, otherwise tow hooks
and the vehicle may be damaged.
To avoid damage to your vehicle
and vehicle components when
towing:
Always pull straight ahead when
using the towing hooks. Do not
pull from the side or at a vertical
angle.
Do not use the towing hooks to
pull a vehicle out of mud, sand
or other conditions from which
the vehicle cannot be driven out
under its own power.
Limit the vehicle speed to
15 km/h and drive less than 1.5
km when towing to avoid seri-
ous damage to the automatic
transmission/dual clutch trans-
mission.

The following lists are vehicle checks
and inspections that should be per-
formed by the owner or an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer at the frequencies
indicated to help ensure safe, depend-
able operation of your vehicle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your dealer
as soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance vehicle
checks are generally not covered by
warranties and you may be charged
for labour, parts and lubricants used. Performing maintenance work
on a vehicle can be dangerous.
If you lack sufficient knowledge
and experience or the proper
tools and equipment to do the
work, we recommend that the
system be serviced by an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer. ALWAYS
follow these precautions for
performing maintenance work:
Park your vehicle on level
ground, move the shift lever
into the P (Park, for automatic
transmission/dual clutch trans-
mission vehicle) position, apply
the parking brake, and place
the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
Block the tyres (front and
back) to prevent the vehicle
from moving.
Remove loose clothing or jew-
ellery that can become entan-
gled in moving parts.
If you must run the engine
during maintenance, do so
out doors or in an area with
plenty of ventilation.
Keep flames, sparks, or smok-
ing materials away from the
battery and fuel-related parts.

Maintenance
Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
Check the engine oil level.
Check the coolant level in the
engine coolant reservoir.
Check the windscreen washer fluid
level.
Check for low or under-inflated
tyres.
Whilst 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 if there is any
increased steering effort or loose-
ness in the steering wheel, or
change in its straight-ahead position.
Notice if your vehicle constantly turns
slightly or “pulls” to one side when
travelling 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 transmissiom
occurs, check the transmissiom fluid
level.
Check the automatic transmission/
dual clutch transmission P (Park)
function.
Check the parking brake.
Check for fluid leaks under your
vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal). Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the
engine is hot. This may result in
coolant being blown out of the
opening and cause serious
burns and other injuries.
WARNING
Diesel Engine
Never manipulate or modify the
injection system whilst running
the diesel engine or within 30
seconds after turning OFF the
diesel engine. The high-pressure
pump, high-pressure pipes, rail,
and injectors are still subject to
high pressure immediately after
stopping the diesel engine.
When the fuel leakage vents out,
it may cause serious body injury.
Any people, who are implanted
with the artificial cardiac pace-
maker, should remain away from
the ECU or the wiring harness by
at least 30 cm, whilst running the
diesel engine. The high currents
of the electronic engine control
system produce a considerable
amount of magnetic fields.
WARNING

7-8
Maintenance
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 flashers.
Check the inflation pressures of all
tyres including the spare for tyres
that are worn, show uneven wear,
or are damaged.
Check for loose wheel nuts.
At least twice a year:
(i.e., every Spring and Autumn)
Check radiator, heater and air condi-
tioning hoses for leaks or damage.
Check windscreen washer spray
and wiper operation. Clean wiper
blades with a clean cloth damp-
ened with washer fluid.
Check headlamp alignment.
Check muffler, exhaust pipes,
shields and clamps.
Check the seat belts for wear and
function.
At least once a year:
Clean body and door drain holes.
Lubricate door hinges and bonnet
hinges.
Lubricate door and bonnet locks
and latches.
Lubricate door rubber weather
strips.
Check the air conditioning system.
Inspect and lubricate automatic
transmission linkage and controls.
Clean the battery and terminals.
Check the brake fluid level.

We recommend that the air cleaner
filter be replaced by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
Spark plugs
(for Petrol Engine)
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.
Valve clearance
(for Petrol Engine)
Inspect excessive valve noise and/or
engine vibration and adjust if neces-
sary. We recommend that the system
be serviced by an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.
Cooling system
Check the cooling system parts,
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.
We recommend that the automatic
transmission fluid is changed by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer accord-
ing to the maintenance schedule.
Information
Automatic transmission fluid colour is
red when new.
As the vehicle is driven, the automatic
transmission fluid will begin to look
darker.
This is a normal condition. It does not
need to be replaced based on the colour
change.
The use of a non-specified fluid
could result in transmission mal-
function and failure.
Use only specified automatic
transmission fluid.
(Refer to “Recommended lubri-
cants and capacities” in chapter 8.)
Manual transmission fluid
(if equipped)
Inspect the manual transmission
fluid according to the maintenance
schedule.
NOTICE
i
Do not disconnect and inspect
spark plugs when the engine is
hot. You may burn yourself.
WARNING

7-32
Maintenance
The electric motor for the cooling fan
is controlled by engine coolant tem-
perature, refrigerant pressure and
vehicle speed. As the engine coolant
temperature decreases, the electric
motor will automatically shut off. This
is a normal condition. If your vehicle
is equipped with GDI, the electric
motor for the cooling fan may begin
to operate at any time and continue
to operate until you disconnect the
negative battery cable.The electric motor for
the cooling fan may
continue to operate
or start up when the
engine is not running
and can cause serious injury.
Keep hands, clothing and tools
away from the rotating fan blades
of the cooling fan.
WARNING
Never remove the
radiator cap or the
drain plug whilst the
engine and radiator
are hot. Hot coolant
and steam may blow out under
pressure, causing serious injury.
(Continued)
WARNING
OPD076015
(Continued)
Turn the engine off and wait until
the engine cools down. Use
extreme care when removing the
radiator cap. Wrap a thick towel
around it, and turn it anticlock-
wise slowly to the first stop. Step
back whilst the pressure is
released from the cooling sys-
tem. When you are sure all the
pressure has been released,
press down on the cap, using a
thick towel, and continue turning
anticlockwise to remove it.

Maintenance
5. Replace the climate control air filter.
6. Reassemble in the reverse order
of disassembly.
Install a new climate control air filter
in the correct direction with the
arrow symbol (
↓ ↓) facing down-
wards, otherwise, it may be noisy
and the effectiveness of the filter
may be reduced.
Blade inspection
Contamination of either the wind-
screen or the wiper blades with for-
eign matter can reduce the effective-
ness of the windscreen wipers.
Common sources of contamination
are insects, tree sap, and hot wax
treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades are not
wiping properly, clean both the win-
dow and the blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse
thoroughly with clean water.To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, arms or other compo-
nents, do not:
Use petrol, kerosene, paint thin-
ner, or other solvents on or near
them.
Attempt to move the wipers
manually.
Use non-specified wiper blades.
Information
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windscreen diffi-
cult to clean.
Information
Wiper blades are a consumable item.
Normal wear of the wipers may not be
covered by your vehicle warranty.
