The following lists are vehicle checks
and inspections that should be per-
formed by the owner or an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer at the frequen-
cies indicated to help ensure safe,
dependable operation of your vehi-
cle.
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 charging:
• Check coolant level in the 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 proper
tools and equipment to do the
work, have it done by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
ALWAYS follow these precau-
tions for performing mainte-
nance work:
•Park your vehicle on level
ground, shift to the P (Park)
position, apply the parking
brake, and place the POWER
button in the 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.
Keep flames, sparks, or smok-
ing materials away from the
battery and related compo-
nents.
WARNING
Be careful when checking your
coolant level when the parts in
the motor compartment are hot.
This may result in coolant being
blown out of the opening and
cause serious burns and other
injuries.
WARNING

7-6
Maintenance
While operating your 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 posi-
tion.
Notice if your vehicle constantly
turns slightly or "pulls" to one side
when traveling on smooth, level
road.
When decelerating with your vehi-
cle, listen and check for unusual
sounds, pulling to one side,
increased brake pedal travel or
"hard-to-push" brake pedal.
After driving your vehicle on a
regular basis check the follow-
ing:
Verify that the electronic parking
brake is engaging properly.
After you exit the vehicle check for
any signs of fluid leaks under your
vehicle (note that water dripping
from the air conditioning system is
normal).
At least monthly:
Check coolant level in the coolant
reservoir.
Check the operation of all exterior
lights, including the brake lights,
turn signals and hazard warning
flashers.
Check the inflation pressures of all
four tires and check to see the tire
tread condition and if there are any
signs of abnormal wear or dam-
age.
Check for loose wheel lug nuts.
At least twice a year:
Check radiator, heater and air con-
ditioning hoses for leaks or dam-
age.
Check windshield washer spray
and wiper operation. Clean wiper
blades with clean cloth dampened
with washer fluid.
Check headlamp alignment.
Check the seat belts for wear and
function.
At least once a year:
Clean body and door drain holes.
Lubricate door hinges and hood
hinges.
Lubricate door and hood locks and
latches.
Lubricate door rubber weather
strips.
Lubricate door checker.
Check the air conditioning system.
Inspect and lubricate reduction
gear linkage and controls.
Clean the battery and terminals.
Check the brake fluid level.

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.
OOSEV078004
To prevent serious injury or
death, take the following safety
precautions when using washer
fluid:
Do not use coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.
Coolant can severely obscure
visibility when sprayed on the
windshield 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 contain alcohol and
can be flammable.
Do not drink washer fluid and
avoid contact with skin. Washer
fluid is harmful to humans and
animals.
Keep washer fluid away from
children and animals.

Blade Inspection
Contamination of either the wind-
shield or the wiper blades with for-
eign matter can reduce the effective-
ness of the windshield wiper func-
tionality. Common sources of con-
tamination are insects, tree sap, and
hot wax treatments used by some
commercial car washes. If the blades
are not wiping properly, clean both
the window and the blades with a
clean cloth dampened with washer
fluid.To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, arms or other compo-
nents, do not:
Use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, 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 windshield diffi-
cult to clean.
Blade Replacement
When the wipers no longer clean
adequately, the blades may be worn
or cracked, and require replacement.
In order to prevent damage to
the hood and the wiper arms, the
wiper arms should only be lifted
when in the top wiping position.
Always return the wiper arms to
the windshield before driving.
