Maintenance
Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check coolant level in the enginecoolant reservoir.
• Check the windscreen washer fluid level.
• Check for low or under-inflated tyres.
Whilst operating your vehicle:
• Note any changes in the sound of the exhaust or any smell of exhaust
fumes in the vehicle.
• Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice if there is any
increased steering effort or loose-
ness in the steering wheel, or
change in its straight-ahead position.
• Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side when
travelling on smooth, level road.
• When stopping, listen and check for unusual sounds, pulling to one side,
increased brake pedal travel or
“hard-to-push” brake pedal.
• If any slipping or changes in the operation of your transaxle occurs,
check the transaxle fluid level.
• Check the automatic transaxle/ dual clutch transmission P (Park)
function.
• Check the parking brake.
• Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).
Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the
engine is hot. This may result in
coolant being blown out of the
opening and cause serious
burns and other injuries.
WARNING
Diesel Engine
Never manipulate or modify the
injection system whilst running
the diesel engine or within 30
seconds after turning OFF the
diesel engine. The high-pres-
sure pump, high-pressure
pipes, rail, and injectors are still
subject to the high pressure
right after stopping the diesel
engine.
When the fuel leakage vents
out, it may cause serious body
injury. Any people, who are
implemented with the artificial
cardiac pacemaker, should
remain away from the ECU or
the wiring harness by at least 30
cm, whilst running the diesel
engine. The high currents of the
electric engine control system
produce a considerable amount
of magnetic fields.

Maintenance
Vapour hose and fuel filler cap
The vapour hose and fuel filler cap
should be inspected at those inter-
vals specified in the maintenance
schedule. Make sure that a new
vapour hose or fuel filler cap is cor-
rectly replaced.
Vacuum crankcase ventilation
hoses (if equipped)
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi-
dence of heat and/or mechanical
damage. Hard and brittle rubber,
cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and
excessive swelling indicate deterio-
ration. Particular attention should be
paid to examine those hose surfaces
nearest to high heat sources, such
as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure
that the hoses do not come in con-
tact with any heat source, sharp
edges or moving component which
might cause heat damage or
mechanical wear. Inspect all hose
connections, such as clamps and
couplings, to make sure they are
secure, and that no leaks are pres-
ent. Hoses should be replaced
immediately if there is any evidence
of deterioration or damage.
Air cleaner filter
We recommend that the air cleaner
filter be replaced by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
Spark plugs
(For Petrol Engine)
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.
Valve clearance
(For Petrol Engine)
Inspect excessive valve noise and/or
engine vibration and adjust if neces-
sary. We recommend that the system
be serviced by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
Cooling system
Check the cooling system parts, such
as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses
and connections for leakage and dam-
age. Replace any damaged parts.
Engine coolant
The coolant should be changed at
the intervals specified in the mainte-
nance schedule.
Automatic transaxle fluid
Automatic transaxle fluid should not
be checked under normal usage
conditions. We recommend that the
automatic transaxle fluid changed by
a HYUNDAI authorised repairer
according to the maintenance sched-
ule.
Information
Automatic transaxle fluid colour is
basically red. As the vehicle is driven,
the automatic transaxle fluid will begin
to look darker. It is normal condition
and you should not judge the need to
replace the fluid based upon the
changed colour.
i
Do not disconnect and inspect
spark plugs when the engine is
hot. You may burn yourself.

Maintenance
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 concentration level at least
once a year, at the beginning of the
winter season, and before travelling
to a colder climate.
• When the engine overheats fromlow engine coolant, suddenly
adding engine coolant may cause
cracks in the engine. To prevent
damage, add engine coolant
slowly in small quantities.
• Do not drive with no engine coolant. It may cause water pump
failure and engine seizure, etc.Checking the engine coolant
level
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 MAX and MIN marks on the
side of the coolant reservoir when
the engine is cool.
If the coolant level is low, add enough
distilled (deionised) or soft water.
Bring the level to MAX, but do not
overfill.
If frequent additions are required, we
recommend that the system be inspect-
ed by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

Maintenance
Removing radiatorcap
• Never attempt to remove the
radiator cap whilst the engine
is operating or hot. Doing so
might lead to cooling system
and engine damage and could
result in serious personal
injury from escaping hot
coolant or steam.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
•Turn the engine off and wait
until it cools down. Use
extreme care when removing
the radiator cap. Wrap a thick
towel around it, and turn it
counterclockwise slowly to
the first stop. Step back whilst
the pressure is released from
the cooling system.
When you are sure all the
pressure has been released,
press down on the cap, using
a thick towel, and continue
turning counterclockwise to
remove it.
• Even if the engine is not oper-
ating, do not remove the radi-
ator cap or the drain plug
whilst the engine and radiator
are hot. Hot coolant and
steam may still blow out
under pressure, causing seri-
ous injury.
The electric motor
(cooling fan) is con-
trolled by engine
coolant temperature,
refrigerant pressure
and vehicle speed. It may some-
times operate even when the
engine is not running. Use
extreme caution when working
near the blades of the cooling
fan so that you are not injured
by a rotating fan blades. As the
engine coolant temperature
decreases, the electric motor
will automatically shut off. This
is a normal condition.
The electric motor (cooling fan)
may operate until you discon-
nect the negative battery cable.

Maintenance
Make sure the coolant cap is prop-
erly closed after refill of coolant.
Otherwise the engine could be over-
heated whilst driving.
1. Check if the radiator cap label is straight In front.
(Continued)(Continued)
2. Make sure that the tiny protru-
sions inside the coolant cap
should be securely interlocked.
Recommended engine coolant
• When adding coolant, use onlydeionised water or soft water for
your vehicle and never mix hard
water in the coolant filled at the fac-
tory. An improper coolant mixture
can result in serious malfunction or
engine damage.
• The engine in your vehicle has alu- minum engine parts and must be
protected by an Phosphate-based
Ethylene glycol coolant to prevent
corrosion and freezing.
• DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol coolant or mix them with the spec-
ified coolant.
• Do not use a solution that contains more than 60% antifreeze or less
than 35% antifreeze, which would
reduce the effectiveness of the solu-
tion.

Maintenance
For mixture percentage, refer to the
following table.
Information
If in doubt about the mix ratio, a 50%
water and 50% antifreeze mix is the
easiest to mix together as it will be the
same quantity of each. It is suitable to
use for most temperature ranges of
-35°C (-31°F) and higher.
Changing the engine coolant
We recommend that coolant be
changed by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
Put a thick cloth or fabric around
the radiator cap before refilling
the coolant in order to prevent the
coolant from overflowing into
engine parts such as generator.

WASHER FLUID
Checking the washer fluid
level
The reservoir is translucent so that
you can check the level with a quick
visual inspection.
Check the fluid level in the washer
fluid reservoir and add fluid if neces-
sary.
Plain water may be used if washer
fluid is not available.
However, use washer solvent with
antifreeze characteristics in cold cli-
mates to prevent freezing.Do not use engine coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.
Checking the parking brake
Check the stroke of the parking
brake by counting the number of
“clicks’’ heard whilst fully applying it
from the released position. Also, the
parking brake alone should securely
hold the vehicle on a fairly steep
grade. If the stroke is more or less
than specified, we recommend that
the system be serviced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Stroke : 5~6 “clicks’’ at a force of
20 kg (44 lbs, 196 N).

Maintenance
Canister
Fuel vapours generated inside the
fuel tank are absorbed and stored in
the onboard canister. When the
engine is running, the fuel vapours
absorbed in the canister are drawn
into the surge tank through the purge
control solenoid valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve(PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve is
controlled by the Engine Control
Module (ECM); when the engine
coolant temperature is low during
idling, the PCSV closes so that evap-
orated fuel is not taken into the
engine. After the engine warms-up
during ordinary driving, the PCSV
opens to introduce evaporated fuel to
the engine.
3. Exhaust emission control system
The Exhaust Emission Control System
is a highly effective system which con-
trols exhaust emissions whilst main-
taining good vehicle performance.
Vehicle modifications
This vehicle should not be modified.
Modification of your vehicle could
affect its performance, safety or
durability and may even violate gov-
ernmental safety and emissions reg-
ulations.
In addition, damage or performance
problems resulting from any modifi-
cation may not be covered under
warranty.
• If you use unauthorised electronic
devices, it may cause the vehicle to
operate abnormally, wire damage,
battery discharge and fire. For your
safety, do not use unauthorised
electronic devices.
Engine exhaust gas precautions (carbon monoxide)
• Carbon monoxide can be present
with other exhaust fumes. Therefore,
if you smell exhaust fumes of any
kind inside your vehicle, have it
inspected and repaired immediately.
If you ever suspect exhaust fumes
are coming into your vehicle, drive it
only with all the windows fully open.
Have your vehicle checked and
repaired immediately.
