Introduction
Diesel engine
Diesel fuel
Diesel engines must be operated
only on commercially available diesel
fuel that complies with EN 590 or
comparable standard. (EN stands for
"European Norm"). Do not use
marine diesel fuel, heating oils, or
non-approved fuel additives, as this
will increase wear and cause dam-
age to the engine and fuel system.
The new vehicle warranty may be
invalidated if non-approved fuels
and/or fuel additives are used.
Diesel fuel of above cetane 51
should be used in your vehicle. If two
types of diesel fuel are available, use
summer or winter fuel properly
according to the following tempera-
ture conditions.
Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type
diesel fuel.
Below -5°C (23°F) ... Winter type
diesel fuel.
Watch the fuel level in the tank very
carefully : If the engine stops through
fuel failure, the circuits must be com-
pletely purged to permit restarting.Do not let any petrol or water enter
the tank. This would make it nec-
essary to drain it out and to bleed
the lines to avoid jamming the
injection pump and damaging the
engine.
It is recommended to use the reg-
ulated automotive diesel fuel for
diesel vehicle equipped with the
DPF system.
If you use diesel fuel including
high sulfur (more than 50 ppm sul-
fur) and unspecified additives, it
can cause the DPF system to be
damaged and white smoke can be
emitted.
Biodiesel
Commercially supplied Diesel blends
of no more than 7% biodiesel, com-
monly known as "B7 Diesel" may be
used in your vehicle if Biodiesel meets
EN 14214 or equivalent specifications.
(EN stands for "European Norm"). The
use of biofuels exceeding 7% made
from rapeseed methyl ester (RME),
fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), veg-
etable oil methyl ester (VME) etc. or
mixing diesel exceeding 7% with
biodiesel will cause increased wear or
damage to the engine and fuel sys-
tem. Repair or replacement of worn or
damaged components due to the use
of non approved fuels will not be cov-
ered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Never use any fuel, whether
diesel, B7 biodiesel or other-
wise, that fails to meet the latest
petroleum industry specifica-
tion.
Never use any fuel additives or
treatments that are not recom-
mended or approved by the
vehicle manufacturer.

Driving your vehicle
Use wire chains less than 12 mm
wide to prevent damage to the
chain’s connection.
Winter Precautions
Use high quality ethylene glycol
coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high
quality ethylene glycol coolant in the
cooling system. It is the only type of
coolant that should be used because
it helps prevent corrosion in the cool-
ing system, lubricates the water
pump and prevents freezing. Be sure
to replace or replenish your coolant
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in chapter 7. Before winter,
have your coolant tested to assure
that its freezing point is sufficient for
the temperatures anticipated during
the winter.
Check battery and cables
Winter temperatures affect battery
performance.Inspect the battery
and cables, as specified in the
chapter 7.The battery charging level
can be checked by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer or in a service sta-
tion.Change to "winter weight" oil if
necessary
In some regions during winter, it is
recommended to use the "winter
weight" oil with lower viscosity. For
further information, refer to chapter
8. When you are not sure about a
type of winter weight oil, consult an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
Check spark plugs and ignition
system
Inspect the spark plugs, as speci-
fied in chapter 7.If necessary,
replace them. Also check all ignition
wirings and components for any
cracks, wear-out, and damage.
To prevent locks from freezing
To prevent the locks from being
frozen, spray approved de-icing fluid
or glycerin into key holes. When a
lock opening is already covered with
ice, spray approved de-icing fluid
over the ice to remove it. When an
internal part of a lock freezes, try to
thaw it with a heated key. Carefully
use the heated key to avoid an injury.

Checking the engine oil level
(Petrol engine)
1. Follow all of the oil manufacturer’s
precautions.
2. Be sure the vehicle is on the level
ground in P (Park) with the parking
brake set. If possible, block the
wheels.
3. Turn the engine on and allow the
engine to reach normal operating
temperatures.
4. Turn the engine off and wait for a
few minutes (about 5 minutes) for
the oil to return to the oil pan.
5. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean,
and re-insert it fully.6. Pull the dipstick out again and
check the level. The level should
be between F (Full) and L (Low).7. If it is near or at L, add enough oil
to bring the level to F. Do not over-
fill.
Use only the specified engine oil.
(Refer to “Recommended lubricants
and capacities” in chapter 8.)

Checking the engine oil and filter
We recommend that the engine oil
and filter be replaced by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
Used engine oil may cause irri-
tation or cancer of the skin if
left in contact with the skin for
prolonged periods of time. Used
engine oil contains chemicals
that have caused cancer in lab-
oratory animals. Always protect
your skin by washing your
hands thoroughly with soap
and warm water as soon as pos-
sible after handling used oil.

Checking the brake/clutch
fluid level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the
side of the reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap
and adding brake/clutch fluid, clean
the area around the reservoir cap
thoroughly to prevent brake/clutch
fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
level. The level will fall with accumulat-
ed kilometres. This is a normal condi-
tion associated with the wear of the
brake linings.If the fluid level is excessively low,
we recommend that the system be
checked by an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.
Information
Use only the specified brake/clutch
fluid. Refer to Recommended lubri-
cants and capacities in chapter 8.
Information
Before removing the brake/clutch filler
cap, read the warning on the cap (if
equipped).
Information
Clean the filler cap before removing.
Use only DOT3 or DOT4 brake/clutch
fluid from a sealed container. Do not allow brake/clutch fluid
to contact the vehicle's body
paint, as paint damage will
result.
Brake/clutch fluid, which has
been exposed to open air for an
extended time should never be
used as its quality cannot be
guaranteed. It should be dis-
posed of properly.
Don't put in the wrong kind of
fluid. A few drops of mineral-
based oil, such as engine oil, in
your brake/clutch system can
damage system parts.
NOTICE

OPD077016R
If the brake/clutch system
requires frequent additions of
fluid this could indicate a leak in
the brake/clutch system. We
recommend that the vehicle be
inspected by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
Do not allow brake/clutch fluid
to come in contact with your
eyes. If brake/clutch fluid comes
in contact with your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean water for at
least 15 minutes and get imme-
diate medical attention.

Maintenance
Keep paint and trim in good condition
Scratches or chips in the finish
should be covered with "touch-up"
paint as soon as possible to reduce
the possibility of corrosion. If bare
metal is showing through, the atten-
tion of a qualified body and paint
shop is recommended.
Bird droppings : Bird droppings are
highly corrosive and may damage
painted surfaces in just a few hours.
Always remove bird droppings as
soon as possible.
Don't neglect the interior
Moisture can collect under the floor
mats and carpeting to cause corro-
sion. Check under the mats periodi-
cally to be sure the carpeting is dry.
Use particular care if you carry fer-
tilisers, cleaning materials or chemi-
cals in the vehicle.
These should be carried only in
proper containers and any spills or
leaks should be cleaned up, flushed
with clean water and thoroughly
dried.
Interior care
Interior general precautions
Prevent chemicals such as perfume,
cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand clean-
er and air freshener from contacting
the interior parts because they may
cause damage or discolouration. If
they do contact the interior parts,
wipe them off immediately.
See the instructions that follow for
the proper way to clean vinyl.
Never allow water or other liquids to
come in contact with electrical/elec-
tronic components inside the vehi-
cle as this may damage them.
When cleaning leather products
(steering wheel, seats etc.), use
neutral detergents or low alcohol
content solutions. If you use high
alcohol content solutions or acid/
alkaline detergents, the colour of
the leather may fade or the sur-
face may get stripped off.
Cleaning the upholstery and
interior trim
Vinyl (if equipped)
Remove dust and loose dirt from
vinyl with a whisk broom or vacuum
cleaner. Clean vinyl surfaces with a
vinyl cleaner.
Fabric (if equipped)
Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
Clean with a mild soap solution recom-
mended for upholstery or carpets.
Remove fresh spots immediately with
a fabric spot cleaner. If fresh spots do
not receive immediate attention, the
fabric can be stained and its colour can
be affected. Also, its fire-resistant prop-
erties can be reduced if the material is
not properly maintained.
Using anything but recommended
cleaners and procedures may affect
the fabric’s appearance and fire-
resistant properties.
