Each symbols and specification on
air conditioning refrigerant label
means as below :
1. Classification of refrigerant
2. Amount of refrigerant
3. Classification of Compressor lubri-cant
You can find out which air condition-
ing refrigerant is applied to your vehi-cle on the label located inside of thehood.Checking the amount of air con- ditioner refrigerant and com-
pressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is
low, the performance of the air con-
ditioning is reduced. Overfilling alsohas a bad influence on the air condi-tioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, we recommend that the sys-
tem be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Vehicles equipped with R-134a Because the refriger-
ant is at very high
pressure, the air con-ditioning system
should only be serv-
iced by trained and certified
technicians. It is important thatthe correct type and amount of
oil and refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, it may cause damage
to the vehicle and personal injury.
WARNING
Vehicles equipped with R-1234yf
Because the refriger-
ant is mildly inflam-
mable at very high
pressure, the air con-ditioning system
should only be serv-
iced by trained and
certified technicians.
It is important that the
correct type and amount of oil
and refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, it may cause dam-
age to the vehicle and personal
injury.

Maintenance
OOWW NNEERR MM AAIINN TTEENN AANN CCEE
The following lists are vehicle checks and inspections that should be per-
formed by the owner or an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer 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 vehicle
checks are generally not covered by
warranties 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 the engine
coolant reservoir.
Check the windshield washer fluid level.
Check for low or under-inflated tires.
Performing maintenance work
on a vehicle can be dangerous.
If you lack sufficient knowledge
and experience or the propertools and equipment to do the
work, have it done by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer. ALWAYS
follow these precautions for
performing maintenance work:
Park your vehicle on level
ground, move the shift lever
into the P (Park) position,
apply the parking brake, place
the ignition switch in theLOCK/OFF position.
Block the tires (front and back)
to prevent the vehicle from
moving.
Remove loose clothing or jew-
elry that can become entan-
gled in moving parts.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
If you must run the engine
during maintenance, do so
out doors or in an area withplenty of ventilation.
Keep flames, sparks, or smok-
ing materials away from the
battery and fuel-related parts.
Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the
engine is hot. This may result in
coolant being blown out of theopening and cause serious
burns and other injuries.

Checking the engine oil level
1. Follow all of the oil manufacturer’s
precautions.
2. Be sure the vehicle is on level ground in P (Park) with the parking
brake set and the wheels blocked.
3. Turn the engine on and allow the engine to reach normal operating
temperature.
4. Turn the hybrid system off and wait about five 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. To prevent damage to your engine:
Do not overfill with engine oil.
Add oil in small quantities and
recheck level to ensure engine
is not overfilled.
Do not spill engine oil when adding or changing engine oil.
Use a funnel to help prevent oil
from being spilled on engine
components. Wipe off spilled oil
immediately.

(Refer to “Recommended Lubricants
and Capacities” in chapter 8).

Maintenance
If the level is low, add the specified
brake fluid to the MAX level. The level
will fall with accumulated mileage.
This is a normal condition associated
with the wear of the brake linings. If
the fluid level is excessively low, we
recommend that the brake system
be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Do not allow brake fluid to con-
tact the vehicle’s body paint, as
paint damage will result.
Brake fluid, which has been exposed to open air for an
extended time should NEVER beused as its quality cannot be
guaranteed. It should be dis-
posed of properly.
Do not use the wrong kind of brake fluid. A few drops of miner-
al based oil, such as engine oil, in
your brake system can damage
brake system parts.
Information
Use only the specified brake fluid
(Refer to “Recommended Lubricants
and Capacities” in chapter 8).Checking the washer fluid
level
Check the fluid level in the washer
fluid reservoir and add fluid if neces-
sary. Plain water may be used if
washer fluid is not available.
However, use washer solvent with
antifreeze characteristics in cold cli-
mates to prevent freezing.
i
NOTICE
If the brake system requires fre-
quent additions of fluid thiscould indicate a leak in the
brake system. We recommend
that the vehicle be inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
Do not allow brake fluid to come
in contact with your eyes. Ifbrake fluid comes in contact
with your eyes, flush your eyes
with clean water for at least 15
minutes and get immediatemedical attention.

Checking the parking brake
Foot type (if equipped)
Check whether the stroke is within
specification when the parking brake
pedal is depressed with 20 kg (44 lb,
196 N) of force. Also, the parking
brake alone should securely hold the
vehicle on a fairly steep grade. If the
stroke is more or less than specified,
have the parking brake adjusted by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Stroke : 4~5 notch
Filter replacement
The air cleaner filter can be cleaned
for inspection using compressed air.
Do not attempt to wash or to rinse it,
as water will damage the filter.
If soiled, the air cleaner filter must be replaced.OAE056014

To prevent serious injury or
death, take the following safetyprecautions when using washerfluid:
Do not use engine coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir. Engine coolant can
severely obscure visibility
when sprayed on the wind-
shield and may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an
accident or damage to paint
and body trim.
Do not allow sparks or flame to contact the washer fluid or
the washer fluid reservoir.
Washer fluid may containalcohol and can be flamma-
ble.
Do not drink washer fluid and
avoid contact with skin.
Washer fluid is poisonous tohumans and animals.
Keep washer fluid away from
children and animals.

Maintenance
Battery recharging
By battery charger
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes dischargedin a short time (because, for exam-
ple, the headlights or interior lights
were left on while the vehicle was
not in use), recharge it by slow
charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
If the battery gradually discharges because of high electric load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge
it at 20-30A for two hours. Always follow these instructions
when recharging your vehicle’s
battery to avoid the risk of SERI-
OUS INJURY or DEATH from
explosions or acid burns:
Before performing mainte-
nance or recharging the bat-
tery, turn off all accessories
and place the Engine Start/
Stop button to the OFF posi-tion.
Keep all flames, sparks, or
smoking materials away from
the battery.
Always work outdoors or in an area with plenty of ventilation.
Wear eye protection when
checking the battery during
charging.
The battery must be removed
from the vehicle and placed ina well ventilated area.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
Watch the battery during
charging, and stop or reduce
the charging rate if the battery
cells begin boiling violently.
The negative battery cable
must be removed first and
installed last when the battery
is disconnected. Disconnect
the battery charger in the fol-
lowing order:
(1) Turn off the battery chargermain switch.
(2) Unhook the negative
clamp from the negative
battery terminal.
(3) Unhook the positive clamp from the positive batteryterminal.
Always use a genuine HYUNDAI
approved battery when you
replace the battery.
