Vehicle Information, Consumer Information and Reporting Safety Defects2-12
To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only
lubricants of the proper quality. The correct lubricants also help promote engine
efficiency that results in improved fuel economy.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.

bRefer to “Fuel requirements” in
chapter 1.
*1 : Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
*2 : Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional
benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary
to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in
everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
*3 : Requires grade engine oil. If a
lower grade engine oil (mineral oil including Semi-synthetic) is used, then the engine oil
and engine oil filter must be replaced as indicated for severe maintenance conditions.
*4 : To maintain the best braking performance and ABS/ESC performance, we recommend
that you use genuine brake fluid that conform to specifications.
*5 : If the rear differential is submerged, have you visit an authorized retailer of HYUNDAI
genuine products to replace the differential oil.

1. Turn the engine off.
2. Ensure the driver’s door is unlocked.
3. Push the fuel filler door near the 3 o’clock position.
B0164EU01
4. Pull the fuel filler door M outward to access the fuel tank cap.
5. To remove the fuel tank cap N, turn it counterclockwise. You may hear a
hissing noise as the pressure inside
the tank equalizes.
6. Place the cap on the fuel filler door.
Information
If the fuel filler door does not open
because ice has formed around it, tap
lightly or push on the door to break the
ice and release the door. Do not pry on the
door. If necessary, spray around the door
with an approved deicer fluid (do not use
radiator antifreeze) or move the vehicle to
a warm place and allow the ice to melt.

1. To install the fuel tank cap, turn it clockwise until it “clicks” one time.
2. Close the fuel filler door until it is latched securely.
Information
The fuel filler door will not close if the
driver’s door is locked. If you lock the
driver’s door while fueling, unlock it
before closing the fuel filler door.
WARNING
Gasoline fuel is highly flammable

guidelines may result in SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:

[Read and follow all warnings posted
at the gas station.

[ Before refueling, note the location of
WKH(PHUJHQF\*DVROLQH)XHO6KXW
Off, if available, at the gas station.

[ Before touching the fuel nozzle, you
should eliminate the potential build-
up of static electricity by touching
a metal part of the vehicle, a safe
distance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas source,
with your bare hand.

[ Do not use mobile phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellular
phones can potentially ignite fuel
vapors and cause a fire.

If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss of
power, or hear loud pinging or knocking,
the engine may be overheating. If this
happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
2. Shift the gear to P (Park) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is
ON, turn it OFF.
3. If engine coolant is running out under the vehicle or steam is coming out
from the hood, stop the engine. Do
not open the hood until the coolant
has stopped running or the steaming
has stopped. If there is no visible
loss of engine coolant and no steam,
leave the engine running and check
to be sure the engine cooling fan is
operating. If the fan is not running,
turn the engine off.
WARNING
While the engine is running,
keep hands, clothing and tools
away from the moving parts
such as the cooling fan and
drive belt to prevent serious
injury. 4. Check for coolant leaking from the
radiator, hoses or under the vehicle. (If
the air conditioning has been in use, it
is normal for cold water to be draining
from it when you stop.)
5. If engine coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call the
nearest authorized HYUNDAI dealer
for assistance.
WARNING
Your vehicle is equipped with
a pressurized coolant reserve
tank. NEVER remove the
radiator cap or the drain plug
while the engine and radiator
are HOT.
Hot coolant and steam may blow out
under pressure, causing serious injury.
Turn the engine off and wait until
the engine cools down. Use extreme
care when removing the radiator cap.
Wrap a towel or thick rag around it,
and turn it counterclockwise slowly to
release some of the pressure from the
system. Step back while the pressure is
released.
When you are sure all the pressure has
been released, continue turning the cap
counter-clockwise to remove it.

Engine Oil and Filter
The engine oil and filter should be
changed at the intervals specified in the
maintenance schedule. If the vehicle
is being driven in severe conditions,
more frequent oil and filter changes are
required.
Drive Belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence
of cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil
saturation and replace if necessary.
Drive belts should be checked
periodically for proper tension and
adjusted as necessary.
Information
When you are inspecting the belt, turn the
engine off.
Fuel Lines, Fuel Hoses and
Connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and damage.
Have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
replace any damaged or leaking parts
immediately.
Vapor Hose and Fuel Filler Cap
The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should
be inspected at those intervals specified
in the maintenance schedule. Make sure
a new vapor hose or fuel filler cap is
correctly replaced.
Air Cleaner Filter
Have the air cleaner filter replaced by an
authorized HYUNDA dealer.
Spark Plugs
Make sure to install new spark plugs of
the correct heat range.
When assembling parts, be sure to
wipe out foreign substances inside
and outside of the boot bottom of the
ignition coil and the insulator of the
spark plug with a soft cloth to prevent
contamination of the spark plug
insulator.
Cooling System
Check cooling system components, such
as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and
connections for leakage and damage.
Replace any damaged parts.
Engine Coolant
The coolant should be changed at the
intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule.
Automatic Transmission Fluid
The automatic transmission fluid level
does not need to be checked under
normal usage conditions.
Have the automatic transmission fluid
changed by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer according to the maintenance
schedule.
Information
Automatic transmission fluid color is red
when new.
As the vehicle is driven, the automatic
transmission fluid will begin to look
darker.
This is a normal condition. It does not
need to be replaced based on the color
change.
EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS

Maintenance9-18
ENGINE COOLANT
The high-pressure cooling system has a
reservoir filled with year-round antifreeze
coolant. The reservoir is filled at the
factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at
the beginning of the winter season and
before traveling to a colder climate.
Checking the Coolant Level
B0433KO01
Check the condition and connections
of all cooling system hoses and
heater hoses. Replace any swollen or
deteriorated hoses.
The coolant level should be filled
between the F and the L marks on the
side of the coolant reservoir when the
engine is cool.
If the coolant level is low, add enough
distilled (deionized) water to bring the
level to the F mark, but do not overfill. If
frequent additions are required, see an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for a cooling
system inspection.
WARNING
B0433KO02
Never remove the engine
coolant cap and/or the drain
plug while the engine and
radiator are hot. Hot coolant
and steam may blow out under
pressure, causing serious
injury.
Turn the vehicle off and wait until the
engine cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the engine coolant cap.
Wrap a thick towel around it, and turn
it counterclockwise slowly. Step back
while the pressure is released from the
cooling system. When you are sure all
the pressure has been released, using
a thick towel, and continue turning
counterclockwise to remove it.
