VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS2
F010C01A-AATSpecified Scheduled ProceduresThese are the procedures such as
inspections, adjustments and
replacements that are listed in the
maintenance charts starting on page 5-4.
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 trained technicians at your Hyundai
dealer, these procedures may be per-
formed at any qualified service facility.
It is suggested that genuine Hyundai
service parts be used for any required
repairs or replacements. 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 or its
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
Owner's Handbook provides further
information about your warranty coverage.
F010A01A-AATService RequirementsTo ensure that you receive the greatest
number of miles of satisfying operation
from your Hyundai, certain maintenance
procedures must be performed. Although
careful design and engineering have
reduced these to a minimum, those that
are required are of the utmost importance.
It is your responsibility to have these main-
tenance procedures performed to comply
with the terms of the warranties covering
your new Hyundai. The Owner's Handbook
supplied with your new vehicle provides
further information about these warranties.
F010B01A-AATMaintenance RequirementsThe maintenance required for your
Hyundai can be divided into three main
areas:
o Specified scheduled procedures
o General checks
o Do-it-yourself maintenance

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
REQUIREMENTSF020A02Y-AATo Inspection should be performed any
time a malfunction is experienced or
suspected.
o Receipts for all emission control system
services should be retained to
demonstrate compliance with
conditions of the emissions system
warranty.
o After 120 months or 150,000 miles
(240,000 km), continue to follow the
prescribed maintenance intervals.
o For severe usage maintenance require-
ments, see page 5-6 of this section.
F010D02A-AATGeneral ChecksThese are the regular checks you should
perform when you drive your Hyundai or
you fill the fuel tank. A list of these items will
be found on page 6-4.F010E01A-AATDo-It-Yourself MaintenanceIf 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 yourself, see Section 6.
F010F01A-AATA Few Tipso Whenever you have your Hyundai
serviced, keep copies of the service
records in your glove box. This will help
ensure that you can document that the
required procedures have been
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 have an official Hyundai
Shop Manual. A copy of this publication
may be purchased at your Hyundai
dealer's parts department.
