EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS

Engine oil and filter

Vapor hose and fuel filler cap

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.

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.

Vacuum crankcase ventilation

hoses (if equipped)

Inspect the surface of hoses for evidence

of heat and/or mechanical damage.

Hard and brittle rubber, cracking,

Drive belts

Inspect all drive belts for evidence

of cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil

saturation and replace if necessary.

tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessive

swelling indicate deterioration. 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 ensure that

the hoses do not come in contact 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 present.

Hoses should be replaced immediately if

there is any evidence of deterioration or

damage.

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.

Fuel filter (for gasoline engine)

The fuel filter is considered to be

maintenance free but periodic inspection

is recommended for this maintenance

depends on fuel quality. If there are

some important matters like fuel flow

restriction, surging, loss of power, hard

starting problem etc., replace the fuel

filter immediately. Consult an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer for details.

Air cleaner filter

Have the air cleaner filter be replaced by

an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

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.

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.

NOTICE

The use of a non-specified fluid could

result in transmission malfunction and

failure.

Cooling system

Use only specified automatic

transmission fluid. (Refer to

“Recommended Lubricants and

Capacities” section in chapter 2.)

Check cooling system components, such

as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and

connections for leakage and damage.

Replace any damaged parts.

Dual clutch transmission fluid (if

equipped)

Inspect the dual clutch transmission fluid

according to the maintenance schedule.

Engine coolant

The coolant should be changed at the

intervals specified in the maintenance

schedule.

Brake hoses and lines

Engine coolant/water-cooled

intercooler coolant

The coolant should be changed at the

intervals specified in the maintenance

schedule.

Visually check for proper installation,

chafing, cracks, deterioration and any

leakage. Replace any deteriorated or

damaged parts immediately.

Brake fluid

Automatic transmission fluid

Automatic transmission fluid should

not be checked under normal usage

conditions.

Have the automatic transmission fluid

be changed by an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer according to the maintenance

schedule.

Check the brake fluid level in the brake

fluid reservoir. The level should be

between the MIN and the MAX marks

on the side of the reservoir. Use only

hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT

4 specification.

Parking brake

Inspect the parking brake system

including the parking brake lever and

cables.

Maintenance

ENGINE OIL

Brake discs, pads, calipers and

rotors

Check the pads, the disc, and the rotor

for any excessive wear-out. Inspect

calipers for any fluid leakage.

For more information on checking the

pads or lining wear limit, refer to the

HYUNDAI web site.

Checking the engine oil level

Engine oil is used for lubricating,

cooling, and operating various hydraulic

components in the engine. Engine oil

consumption while driving is normal,

and it is necessary to check and refill the

engine oil regularly. Also, check and refill

the oil level within the recommended

maintenance schedule to prevent

deterioration of oil performance.

(http://service.hyundai-motor.com)

Check the engine oil following the below

procedure.

Propeller shaft

Check the propeller shaft, boots, clamps,

rubber couplings and center-bearing

rubber for cracks, deterioration, or

damage. Replace any damaged parts

and if necessary, repack the grease.

Gasoline engine

1. Follow all of the oil manufacturer’s

precautions.

2. Be sure the vehicle is on the level

ground in P (Park) with the parking

brake set and the wheels blocked.

3. Turn the engine on and warm

the engine up until the coolant

temperature reaches a constant

normal temperature.

4. Turn the engine off, remove the oil

filler cap and pull the dipstick out.

Wait for 15 minutes for the oil to return

to the oil pan.

5. Wipe the dipstick clean and re-insert

it fully.

Suspension mounting bolts

Check the suspension connections for

looseness or damage. Retighten to the

specified torque.

Steering gear box, linkage &

boots/lower arm ball joint

With the vehicle stopped and the engine

off, check for excessive free-play in the

steering wheel. Check the linkage for

bends or damage. Check the dust boots

and ball joints for deterioration, cracks,

or damage.

Replace any damaged parts.

Drive shafts and boots

Check the drive shafts, boots and clamps

for cracks, deterioration, or damage.

Replace any damaged parts and, if

necessary, repack the grease.

Air conditioning refrigerant

Check the air conditioning lines and

connections for leakage and damage.
