F010C01A-GAT Specified Scheduled ProceduresThese are the procedures such as inspections, adjustments and replacements that are listed in the maintenance charts starting on page 5-2. These procedures must be performed at the intervals shown in the maintenance schedule to assure that your warranty remains in effect. Although it is strongly recommended that they be performed by the factory-trained or distribu- tor-trained technicians at your Hyundai dealer, these procedures may be performed at any qualified service facility. It is suggested that genuine Hyundai service parts be used for any required repairs or re- placements. Other parts of equivalent quality such as engine oil, engine coolant, manual or auto transaxle oil, brake fluid and so on which are not supplied by Hyundai Motor Company orits distributor may be used without affecting your warranty coverage but you should always be sure these are equivalent to the quality of the original Hyundai parts. Your Service Passport provides further information about your warran- ty coverage.

NANCE REQUIRE- MENTS F010E01A-AAT Do-It-Yourself Maintenance If you are mechanically inclined, own a few tools that are required and want to take the time to do so, you can inspect and service a number of items. For more information about doing it your- self, see Section 6.
F010D01A-AAT General ChecksThese are the regular checks you should per- form when you drive your Hyundai or you fill the fuel tank. A list of these items will be found on page 6-4.
F010A01A-GAT MAINTENANCE INTERVALS Service Requirements To assure that you receive the greatest number of kilometers of satisfying operation from your Hyundai, certain maintenance procedures must be performed. Although careful design and en- gineering have reduced these to a minimum, those that are required are of the utmost impor- tance.It is your responsibility to have these mainte- nance procedures performed to comply with the terms of the warranties covering your new Hyundai. The Service Passport supplied with your new vehicle provides further information about these warranties. F010B01A-AAT Maintenance Requirements The maintenance required for your Hyundai can be divided into three main areas: o Specified scheduled procedures o General checks o Do-it-yourself maintenance F010F01A-AAT A Few Tips
o Whenever you have your Hyundai serviced,
keep copies of the service records in your glovebox. This will help assure you can document the required procedures being performed to keep your warranties in effect. This is especially important when service is not performed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o If you choose to do your own maintenance and repairs, you may find it helpful to havean official Hyundai Shop Manual. A copy of this publication may be purchased at your Hyundai dealer's parts department.
F020A03S-GAT SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS Inspection should be performed any time a malfunction is experienced or suspected. Re- ceipts for all emission control system services should be retained to demonstrate compliance with conditions of the emissions system war- ranty.For severe usage maintenance requirements, see page 5-5 of this section.

CHANGING THE OIL AND FILTER (DIESEL ENGINE)
The engine oil and filter should be changed at
those intervals specified in the maintenance schedule in Section 5. If the car is being drivenin severe conditions, more frequent oil and filterchanges are required.
The procedure for changing the oil and filter is
as follows:
1. Park the car on level ground and set the parking brake. Start the engine and let it warm up until the needle on the coolanttemperature gauge moves above the lowestmark. Turn the engine off and place the gearselector lever in "P" (automatic) or reversegear (manual transaxle).
2. Open the hood and remove the engine oil filler cap. 3. Slide underneath the car and loosen the oil
pan drain plug by turning it counterclockwiseoil pan with a wrench of the proper size. Besure that a drain pan is in position to catch theoil as it drains out, then remove the drain plug.
WARNING: Be very careful when draining the engine oil
as it may be hot enough to burn you!
4. When the oil has stopped draining, replace the drain plug using a new washer and retighten by turning it clockwise. Oil pan drain plug tightening torque: 3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m
6. Install a new oil filter in accordance with the
instructions on the carton or on the filter itself. Do not over-tighten. Tightening torque : 1.2~1.6 kgf.mBe sure that the mounting surface on the engine is clean and that the old gasket isremoved completely. Lubricate the new gas-ket on the filter with clean engine oil beforeinstallation.
7. Refill the crankcase with the recommended engine oil. Refer to the specification in chap-ter 9 for engine oil capacity.
8. Start the engine and check to be sure no oil is leaking from the drain plug or oil filter.
9. Shut off the engine and recheck the oil level.
NOTE: Always dispose of used engine oil in an
environmentally acceptable manner. It is sug- gested that it be placed in a sealed containerand taken to a service station for maybereclaimation. Do not pour the oil on theground or put it in with the household trash.
WARNING: Used motor oil may cause irritation or can-
cer of the skin if left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods of time. Wash yourhands thoroughly with soap and warm wa-ter as soon as possible after handling usedoil. 5. Loosen the oil filter drain plug by turning it
counterclockwise with a wrench of the propersize and drain out some oil in the oil filter. Be surethat a drain pan is in position to catch the oil.

MANUAL TRANSAXLE
HFC3029
The five speed fully synchronized transaxle is controlled by a floor mounted shift lever uponwhich the shift pattern is indicated. It is impor-tant that when changing gear, the clutch pedalis fully depressed to avoid transaxle damage. CAUTION:
o Do not attempt to engage reverse gear
when the car is in motion.
o To avoid damaging the selector mecha- nism, do not use the gear shift lever as a hand rest. Release the lever immedi-ately the shift is completed.
o To avoid premature clutch wear, do not use the clutch pedal as a foot rest, anddo not hold the vehicle on a gradientusing the clutch.
o Ensure that the engine is not over-revved by upshifting before the tachometerneedle enters the red zone.
o Do not coast with the shift lever at the neutral position.
o When descending long gradients, make use of the engine braking to assist thefootbrake to avoid brake fade or over-heating.
o When slippery conditions are encoun- tered, increased caution should be ex-ercised when gear changing, braking oraccelerating. Abrupt changes in speedmay cause a loss of traction or controlof the vehicle.
o The starter motor will not operate un- less the clutch pedal is depressed whilstthe engine is being started.
o During cold weather, shifting may be difficult until the transaxle lubricant haswarmed up. This is normal and notharmful to the transaxle. SC090B1-F
Using the Clutch The clutch should be pressed all the way to
the floor before shifting, then released slowly.Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal whiledriving.
This can cause unnecessary wear. Do not partially engage the clutch to hold the
car on an incline. This causes unnecessary wear.
Use the parking brake to hold the car on an
incline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidlyand repeatedly.
o Avoid cruising at unnecessary high speeds.
o Always ensure that the periodic mainte-
nance services are performed by a Hyundai dealer at the time and/or mileage intervalsspecified.
o Use the air conditioning only when neces- sary.
o If you 've come to a complete stop and it's hard to shift into 1 st
or R(Reverse),
put the shift lever in N(Neutral) position and release the clutch. Press the clutchpedal back down, and then shift into 1 st
or R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, as this can result inpremature wear of the transaxle shiftforks.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING REQUIREMENTS To ensure the continued reliability and safety
of the vehicle, certain routine maintenance operations are required at specific mileage ortime intervals.
It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to
ensure that the maintenance schedules shownin both this Owners Manual and the Warrantyand Service Passport are adhered to.
The new vehicle warranty may be invalidated
if the routine maintenance operations are notperformed in line with the recommendationsoutlined and the safety and durability of thevehicle adversely affected.
It is recommended that all maintenance op-
erations with the exception of the daily oper-ating checks are entrusted to a Hyundaidealer to ensure that the latest repair and maintenance procedures and specializedservicing tools are employed. In addition, theuse of genuine Hyundai replacement parts willensure that the vehicle safety and perfor-mance will not be compromised. NOTE:
The inspection and testing of certain elec-
tronic fuel injection/engine management and automatic transmission control sys-tems require specialised electronic equip-ment specifically designed for Hyundaivehicles. The use of general purpose elec-trical test equipment may result in dam-age to the control unit microprocessors.

MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
SF020C1-E
Specified Scheduled Procedures The Specified scheduled procedures are listed
in the maintenance charts beginning at page 5-2. The operations specified must be per-formed at the time or mileage intervals shownirrespective of whether the mileage intervalhas been reached before the specified timeinterval.
Certain lubricants and components degrade
with both time and mileage (e.g. engine oil andbrake fluid) and therefore it is not permissableto base the maintenance schedule upon mile-age alone. It is strongly recommended thatthe maintenance operations are performed bythe factory-trained or distributor-trained tech-nicians at your Hyundai dealer because of the need for specialized knowledge and toolingand to ensure that no possibility of invalidatingthe manufacturers warranty exists.
The maintenance schedules relate to ve-
hicles operated under normal conditions, ve-hicles which are operated under adverseconditions will require more frequent mainte-nance which is described at page 5-5.
SF030B1-E
SERVICE HISTORY It is important that all scheduled maintenance
services are recorded in the warranty andservice passport to ensure that proof of main-tenance is available when warranty service isrequired.
