ENGINE COOLANT
Changing the engine oil and filterWe recommend that the engine oil and
filter be replaced by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer. The high-pressure cooling system has a
reservoir filled with year-round antifreeze
coolant. The reservoir is filled at the fac-
tory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant concentration level at least once
a year, at the beginning of the winter sea-
son, and before travelling to a colder cli-
mate.
WARNING
Prolonged and repeated contact
with used engine oils may result in
serious skin disorders including
dermatitis and cancer. Avoid con-
tact with skin as far as possible and
always wash thoroughly after any
contact. Keep used oils out of
reach of children. It is illegal to pol-
lute drains, water courses and soil.
Use only authorised waste collec-
tion facilities including civic ameni-
ty sites and garages for the dispos-
al of used oil and oil filters. If in
doubt, contact the local authority
for disposal instructions.
CAUTION
 When the engine overheats from
low engine coolant, suddenlyadding engine coolant may causecracks in the engine. To prevent damage, add engine coolantslowly in small quantities.
 Do not drive with no engine coolant. It may cause water pumpfailure and engine seizure, etc.

BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)Checking the brake/clutch fluid
level Check the fluid level in the reservoir peri-
odically. The fluid level should be
between MAX (Maximum) and MIN
(Minimum) 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
(Maximum) level. The level will fall with
accumulated mileage. This is a normal
condition associated with the wear of the
brake linings and/or clutch disc (if
equipped).If the fluid level is excessively low, we
recommend that the brake system be
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
Use only the specified brake/clutch fluid.
(Refer to “Recommended lubricants or capacities” in section 8.)
Never mix different types of fluid.✽ ✽ NOTICEBefore removing the brake/clutch filler
cap, read the warning on the cap.
WARNING -
Loss of brake
fluid
In the event the brake system
requires frequent additions of fluid,
we recommend that the system be
inspected by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.
OLM079008R
WARNING
Clean filler cap before removing.
Use only DOT3 or DOT4 brake/
clutch fluid from a sealed container.
WARNING -
Brake/clutch
fluid
When changing and adding
brake/clutch fluid, handle it careful-
ly. Do not let it come in contact with
your eyes. If brake/clutch fluid
come in contact with your eyes,
immediately flush them with a large
quantity of fresh tap water. Have
your eyes examined by a doctor as
soon as possible.
CAUTION
Do not allow brake/clutch fluid to
contact the vehicle's body paint, aspaint damage will result.
Brake/clutch fluid, which has beenexposed to open air for an extended time should never be used as itsquality cannot be guaranteed. Itshould be properly disposed. Don't put in the wrong kind of fluid. A fewdrops of mineral-based oil, such asengine oil, in your brake/clutch sys- tem can damage brake/clutch sys-tem parts.

7Battery recharging Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
 If the battery becomes discharged in a
short time (because, for example, the
headlights or interior lights were left on
whilst 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 whilst the
vehicle is being used, recharge it at 20-
30A for two hours.
Reset itemsItems should be reset after the battery
has been discharged or the battery has
been disconnected.
 Auto up/down window (See section 4)
 Sunroof (See section 4)
 Trip computer (See section 4)
 Climate control system (See section 4)
 Clock (See section 4)
 Audio (See section 4)(Continued)
 Before performing maintenance or recharging the battery, turn off
all accessories and stop the
engine.
 The negative battery cable must be removed first and installed
last when the battery is discon-
nected.
WARNING
- Rechargingbattery
When recharging the battery,
observe the following precautions:
 The battery must be removed
from the vehicle and placed in an
area with good ventilation.
 Do not allow cigarettes, sparks, or flame near the battery.
 Watch the battery during charg- ing, and stop or reduce the charg-
ing rate if the battery cells begin
gassing (boiling) violently or if
the temperature of the electrolyte
of any cell exceeds 49°C (120°F).
 Wear eye protection when check- ing the battery during charging.
 Disconnect the battery charger in the following order.
1. Turn off the battery charger main switch.
2. Unhook the negative clamp from the negative battery ter-
minal.
3. Unhook the positive clamp from the positive battery termi-
nal.

7FUSES
A vehicle’s electrical system is protected
from electrical overload damage by
fuses.
This vehicle has 3 (or 4) fuse panels, one
located in the driver’s side panel bolster,
the other in the engine compartment
near the battery.
If any of your vehicle’s lights, acces-
sories, or controls do not work, check the
appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse has
blown, the element inside the fuse will be
melted.
If the electrical system does not work,
first check the driver’s side fuse panel.
Before replacing a blown fuse, discon-
nect the negative battery cable.
Always replace a blown fuse with one of
the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this indi-
cates an electrical problem. Avoid using
the system involved and we recommend
that you consult a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.Four kinds of fuses are used: blade type
for lower amperage rating, cartridge type, and fusible link for higher amperage rat-ings.
✽ ✽ NOTICEThe actual fuse/relay panel label may
differ from equipped items.
WARNING
- Fuse replace-
ment
 Never replace a fuse with any-
thing but another fuse of the
same rating.
 A higher capacity fuse could cause damage and possibly a
fire.
 Never install a wire or aluminium foil instead of the proper fuse -
even as a temporary repair It may
cause extensive wiring damage
and a possible fire.
CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or anyother metal object to remove fuses because it may cause a short circuitand damage the system.

Maintenance
Waxing
Wax the vehicle when water will no
longer bead on the paint.
Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing. Use a good quality liquid or
paste wax, and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. Wax all metal trim to protect
it and to maintain its luster.
Removing oil, tar, and similar materials
with a spot remover will usually strip the
wax from the finish. Be sure to re-wax
these areas even if the rest of the vehicle
does not yet need waxing.
Finish damage repair Deep scratches or stone chips in the
painted surface must be repaired
promptly. Exposed metal will quickly rust
and may develop into a major repair
expense.✽ ✽NOTICEIf your vehicle is damaged and requires
any metal repair or replacement, be sure
the body shop applies anti-corrosion
materials to the parts repaired or
replaced.
CAUTION
 Wiping dust or dirt off the body
with a dry cloth will scratch thefinish.
 Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or strong detergentscontaining highly alkaline orcaustic agents on chrome-platedor anodized aluminium parts. This may result in damage to the pro-tective coating and cause discol- oration or paint deterioration.
CAUTION
 Water washing in the engine com- partment including high pressurewater washing may cause the fail-ure of electrical circuits located inthe engine compartment.
 Never allow water or other liquids to come in contact with electri-cal/electronic components insidethe vehicle as this may damage them.
