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 changesare 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 peri-
odically for proper tension and
adjusted as necessary.
Fuel filter
A clogged filter can limit the speed at
which the vehicle may be driven,damage the emission system and
cause multiple issues such as hard
starting. If an excessive amount of
foreign matter accumulates in the
fuel tank, the filter may require
replacement more frequently. After
installing a new filter, run the engine
for several minutes, and check for
leaks at the connections. Fuel filters
should be installed by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and con- nections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and dam-
age. Have an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer replace any damaged or leak-
ing parts immediately.
Vapor hose and fuel filler cap
The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should be inspected at those inter-
vals specified in the maintenance
schedule. Make sure a new vaporhose or fuel filler cap is correctlyreplaced.
Air cleaner filter
A genuine HYUNDAI air cleaner filter is recommended when the filter isreplaced.
Spark plugs
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.

Maintenance
✽✽NOTICE
Use only the specified engine oil
(refer to “Recommended Lubricants
and Capacities” in chapter 8).
Checking the engine oil and filter
Have engine oil and filter changed by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealeraccording to the MaintenanceSchedule at the beginning of this
chapter.
