SERVICE HISTORY
It is important that all scheduled main-
tenance services are recorded in the warranty and service passport to en- sure that proof of maintenance is avail-able when warranty service is required.
SF020C2-E
Specified Scheduled Procedures
The Specified scheduled procedures
are listed in the maintenance chartsbeginning at page 5-3. The operations specified must be performed at the time or mileage intervals shown irre-spective of whether the mileage inter- val has been reached before the speci- fied time interval.
Certain lubricants and components
degrade with both time and mileage(e.g. engine oil and brake fluid) andtherefore it is not permissable to base the maintenance schedule upon mile- age alone. It is strongly recommendedthat the maintenance operations are
SF020A1-E To ensure the continued reliability and safety of the vehicle, certain routine maintenance operations are requiredat specific mileage or time intervals.It is the responsibility of the vehicleowner to ensure that the maintenanceschedules shown in both this Owners Manual and the Warranty and Service Passport are adhered to.The new vehicle warranty may beinvalidated if the routine maintenanceoperations are not performed in line with the recommendations outlined and the safety and durability of the vehicleadversely affected.It is recommended that all mainte-nance operations with the exception ofthe daily operating checks are en- trusted to a Hyundai authorised re- pairer to ensure that the latest repairand maintenance procedures and specialised servicing tools are em- ployed.In addition, the use of genuine Hyundaireplacement parts will ensure that thevehicle safety and performance will not be compromised.
performed by the factory-trained or distributor-trained technicians at yourHyundai authorised repairer because of the need for specialised knowledge and tooling and to ensure that nopossibility of invalidating the manufac- turers warranty exists.
The maintenance schedules relate to
vehicles operated under normal condi-tions, vehicles which are operated under adverse conditions will requiremore frequent maintenance which is described at page 5-6. NOTE:
Service schedules may change de-
pending on individual country needs. Please ask your localHyundai authorised repairer for a copy of the service schedule that relates to that country.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING REQUIREMENTS
NOTE:The inspection and testing of cer-
tain electronic fuel injection/engine management and automatic trans- mission control systems requirespecialised electronic equipment specifically designed for Hyundai vehicles. The use of general pur-pose electrical test equipment may result in damage to the control unit microprocessors.

YF010A2-E In order to ensure continued reliability, safety and longevity, regular maintenance performed at the intervals specified is essential. The maintenance intervals specified are based both on time elapsed and mileage covered since the previous maintenance service was performed. However, under severe operating conditions, certain scheduled operations should be
performed at shorter intervals. Regular maintenance should be entrusted to Hyundai authorised repairer who is best able to provide the expertise required to ensure optimum operational performance. In addition the use of Hyundai replacement parts and service consumables will ensure that the original build quality, operational performance and safety are maintained.

!
6ZF060M1-A
o Engine Oil and Filter
The engine oil and filter should be changed at the intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. If the car is being driven in severe conditions,more frequent oil and filter changes are required. 6ZF060B1-A
o Drive Belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil contamination and replace if neces- sary. Drive belts should be checkedperiodically for proper tension and ad- justed as necessary. 6ZF060C1-A
o Fuel Filter A clogged filter can limit the speed at which the vehicle may be driven, dam- age the emission system and cause hard starting. If an excessive amountof foreign matter accumulates in the fuel tank, the filter may require re- placement more frequently.After installing a new filter, run theengine for several minutes, and checkfor leaks at the connections.
WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 sec- onds after shutting off engine. Highpressure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the enginestopped. The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it contacts the body. People usingpacemakers should ensure that they keep a distance of 30cm from the ECU or wiring harness within theengine room whilst engine is run- ning, since the high currents in the Common Rail system produce con-siderable magnetic fields.
6ZF060D2-A
o Fuel lines, Fuel Hoses and
Connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and connections for leakage and damage. Replace any damaged or leaking parts immediately.

6ZF060H1-A
o Air Cleaner Filter
A Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is
recommended when filter is replaced.
6ZF060J1-A
o Spark Plugs
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.
6ZF070B1-A
o Cooling System
Check the cooling system part, such
as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and connections for leakage and dam- age. Replace any damaged parts.
6ZF060E1-A
o Timing Belt Replace timimg belt and inspect all associated parts related for damage and deformation. Replace any dam- aged parts immediately. 6ZF060G1-A
o Vapour Hose and Fuel Filler Cap The vapour hose and fuel filler cap should be inspected at those intervals specified in the maintenance sched-ule. Make sure that a new vapour hose or fuel filler cap is correctly replaced.
6ZF060F1-A
o Vacuum, Crankcase
Ventilation Hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi-
dence of heat and/or mechanical dam-age. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessiveswelling indicate deterioration. Partic- ular attention should be paid to exam- ining those hose surfaces nearest tohigh heat sources, such as the ex- haust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure that
the hoses do not come in contact withany heat source, sharp edges or mov- ing component which might cause heatdamage or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose connections, such as clamps and couplings, to make sure they aresecure, and that no leaks are present. Hoses should be replaced immedi- ately if there is any evidence of dete-rioration or damage. F060N02E-AAT
o Valve Clearance
Inspect excessive valve noise and/or
engine vibration and adjust if neces-sary. A qualified technician should perform the operation.

6ZF070F1-A
o Brake Hoses and Lines Visually check for proper installation, chafing, cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts immediately. 6ZF070G2-A
o Brake Fluid Check brake fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir. The level should be between "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. Use onlyhydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4.
6ZF070H1-A
o Rear Brake Drums And
Linings/Parking Brake
Check the rear brake drums and lin-
ings for scoring, burning, leaking fluid, broken parts, and excessive wear. In- spect the parking brake system in- cluding the parking brake lever andcables. For detailed service proce- dures, refer to the Shop Manual.
6ZF070D1-A
o Manual Transaxle Oil
Inspect the manual transaxle oil ac-
cording to the maintenance schedule. NOTE:
If the oil level is low, check for
possible leaks before adding oil. Do not overfill. F070E05A-AAT
o Automatic Transaxle Fluid The fluid level should be in the "HOT" range of the dipstick, after the engine and transaxle are at normal operating temperature. Check the automatictransaxle fluid level with the engine running and the transaxle in neutral, with the parking brake properly ap-plied. Use Hyundai Genuine ATF SP- III, DIAMOND ATF SP-III, SK ATF SP-III or other brands approved byHyundai Motor Co., when adding or changing fluid.
6ZF070C1-A
o Engine Coolant
The coolant should be changed at
the intervals specified in the mainte-nance schedule.

6ZF070N1-A
o Power Steering Pump, Belt
and Hoses
Check the power steering pump and
hoses for leakage and damage. Re- place any damaged or leaking parts immediately. Inspect the power steer-ing belt for evidence of cuts, cracks, excessive wear, oil contamination and proper tension. Replace or adjust it ifnecessary. 6ZF070P1-A
o Driveshafts and Boots
