MAINTENANCE SERVICES  
You should exercise the utmost care to  
prevent damage to your vehicle and  
injury to yourself whenever performing  
any maintenance or inspection proce-  
dures.  
Inadequate, incomplete or insufficient  
servicing may result in operational prob-  
lems with your vehicle that could lead to  
vehicle damage, an accident, or person-  
al injury.  
Owner’s responsibility  
Owner maintenance precautions  
Improper or incomplete service may  
result in problems. This chapter gives  
instructions only for the maintenance  
items that are easy to perform.  
NOTICE  
Maintenance Service and Record  
Retention are the owner's responsibility.  
We recommend in general that you have  
your vehicle serviced by an authorized  
HYUNDAI dealer.  
NOTICE  
Improper owner maintenance during  
the warranty period may affect warran-  
ty coverage. For details, read the sepa-  
rate Service Passport provided with the  
vehicle. If you're unsure about any serv-  
icing or maintenance procedure, we rec-  
ommend that the system be serviced by  
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.  
You should retain documents that show  
proper maintenance has been performed  
on your vehicle in accordance with the  
scheduled maintenance service charts  
shown on the following pages. You need  
this information to establish your compli-  
ance with the servicing and maintenance  
requirements of your vehicle warranties.  
Detailed warranty information is provided  
in your Service Passport.  
Repairs and adjustments required as a  
result of improper maintenance or a lack  
of required maintenance are not covered

Maintenance  
WARNING - Maintenance  
work  
• Performing maintenance work on  
a vehicle can be dangerous. You  
can be seriously injured while  
performing some maintenance  
procedures. If you lack sufficient  
knowledge and experience or the  
proper tools and equipment to do  
the work, we recommend that the  
system be serviced by an author-  
ized HYUNDAI dealer.  
• Working under the hood with the  
engine running is dangerous. It  
becomes even more dangerous  
when you wear jewelry or loose  
clothing. These can become  
entangled in moving parts and  
result in injury. Therefore, if you  
must run the engine while work-  
ing under the hood, make certain  
that you remove all jewelry (espe-  
cially rings, bracelets, watches,  
and necklaces) and all neckties,  
scarves, and similar loose cloth-  
ing before getting near the  
engine or cooling fans.

Maintenance  
OWNER MAINTENANCE  
The following lists are vehicle checks and  
inspections that should be performed at  
the frequencies indicated to help ensure  
safe, dependable operation of your vehi-  
cle.  
Any adverse conditions should be  
brought to the attention of your dealer as  
soon as possible.  
These Owner Maintenance Checks are  
generally not covered by warranties and  
you may be charged for labor, parts and  
lubricants used.  
While operating your vehicle:  
Owner maintenance schedule  
When you stop for fuel:  
• Check the engine oil level.  
• Check the coolant level in the coolant  
reservoir.  
• Check the windshield washer fluid  
level.  
• Look for low or under-inflated tires.  
• 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 any increased steering  
effort or looseness in the steering  
wheel, or change in its straight-ahead  
position.  
• Notice if your vehicle constantly turns  
slightly or “pulls” to one side when trav-  
eling 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.  
WARNING  
Be careful when checking your  
engine coolant level when the  
engine is hot. Scalding hot coolant  
and steam may blow out under  
pressure. This could cause burns  
or other serious injury.  
• If any slipping or changes in the oper-  
ation of your transaxle occurs, check  
the transaxle fluid level.  
• Check automatic transaxle P (Park)  
function.  
• Check the parking brake.  
• Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle  
(water dripping from the air condition-  
ing system during or after use is nor-  
mal).  
7 6  
Maintenance  
At least monthly:  
• Check the coolant level in the engine  
coolant reservoir.  
• Check the operation of all exterior  
lights, including the stoplights, turn sig-  
nals and hazard warning flashers.  
• Check the inflation pressures of all  
tires including the spare.  
At least twice a year  
At least once a year:  
• Clean the body and door drain holes.  
• Lubricate the door hinges and checks,  
and hood hinges.  
• Lubricate the door and hood locks and  
latches.  
• Lubricate the door rubber weather-  
strips.  
• Check the air conditioning system.  
• Inspect and lubricate the automatic  
transaxle linkage and controls.  
• Clean the battery and terminals.  
(i.e., every Spring and Fall):  
• Check the radiator, heater and air con-  
ditioning hoses for leaks or damage.  
• Check the windshield washer spray  
and wiper operation. Clean the wiper  
blades with clean cloth dampened with  
washer fluid.  
• Check the headlight alignment.  
• Check the muffler, exhaust pipes,  
shields and clamps.  
• Check the lap/shoulder belts for wear  
and function.  
• Check for worn tires and loose wheel  
lug nuts.  
• Check the brake (and clutch) fluid  
level.

EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS  
Engine oil and filter  
Fuel 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.  
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 exces-  
sive amount of foreign matter accumu-  
lates 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. We recommend that  
the fuel filter be replaced by an author-  
ized HYUNDAI dealer.  
The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should  
be inspected at those intervals specified  
in the maintenance schedule. Make sure  
that a new vapor hose or fuel filler cap is  
correctly replaced.  
Vacuum crankcase ventilation  
hoses (if equipped)  
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.  
Inspect the surface of hoses for evidence  
of heat and/or mechanical damage. Hard  
and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts,  
abrasions, and excessive swelling indi-  
cate 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 assure that  
the hoses do not come in contact with  
any heat source, sharp edges or moving  
component which might cause heat dam-  
age or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose  
connections, such as clamps and cou-  
plings, 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.  
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and con-  
nections  
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and con-  
nections for leakage and damage. We  
recommend that the fuel lines, fuel hoses  
and connectionsr be replaced by an  
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

intervals specified in the maintenance  
schedule.  
Visually check for proper installation,  
chafing, cracks, deterioration and any  
leakage. Replace any deteriorated or  
damaged parts immediately.  
Spark plugs  
Make sure to install new spark plugs of  
the correct heat range.  
Manual transaxle fluid  
(if equipped)  
Inspect the manual transaxle fluid  
according to the maintenance schedule.  
Brake fluid  
Check the brake fluid level in the brake  
fluid reservoir. The level should be  
between “MIN” and “MAX” marks on the

iced by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.  
Parking brake  
Inspect the parking brake system includ-  
ing the parking brake lever and cables.  
Cooling system  
Check the cooling system components,  
such as the radiator, coolant reservoir,  
hoses and connections for leakage and  
damage. Replace any damaged parts.  
7 20  
Maintenance  
Rear brake drums and linings  
(if equipped)  
Steering gear box, linkage &  
boots/lower arm ball joint  
Check the rear brake drums and linings  
for scoring, burning, leaking fluid, broken  
parts, and excessive wear.  
With the vehicle stopped and 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.  
Brake pads, calipers and rotors  
Check the pads for excessive wear, discs  
for run out and wear, and calipers for fluid  
leakage.  
Drive shafts and boots  
Suspension mounting bolts  
Check the drive shafts, boots and clamps  
for cracks, deterioration, or damage.  
Replace any damaged parts and, if nec-  
essary, repack the grease.  
Check the suspension connections for  
looseness or damage. Retighten to the  
specified torque.  
Air conditioning refrigerant  
(if equipped)  
Check the air conditioning lines and con-  
nections for leakage and damage.  
7 21  
Maintenance  
ENGINE OIL  
5. Pull the dipstick out again and check  
the level. The level should be between  
F and L.  
CAUTION  
Do not overfill the engine oil. It may  
damage the engine.  
OBA073002  
OBA073003  
If it is near or at L, add enough oil to bring  
the level to F. Do not overfill.  
Checking the engine oil level  
1. Be sure the vehicle is on level ground.  
2. Start the engine and allow it to reach  
normal operating temperature.  
3. Turn the engine off and wait for a few  
minutes (about 5 minutes) for the oil to  
return to the oil pan.  
4. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and  
re-insert it fully.  
Use a funnel to help prevent oil from  
being spilled on engine components.  
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer  
to “Recommended lubricants and capac-  
ities” in chapter 8.)  
WARNING - Radiator hose  
Be very careful not to touch the  
radiator hose when checking or  
adding the engine oil as it may be  
hot enough to burn you.  
7 22  
Maintenance  
ENGINE COOLANT  
The high-pressure cooling system has a  
reservoir filled with year round antifreeze  
coolant. The reservoir is filled at the fac-  
tory.  
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.  
Changing the engine oil and filter  
Checking the coolant level  
We recommend that the engine oil and  
filter be replaced by an authorized  
HYUNDAI dealer.  
WARNING  
Removing radiator  
cap  
WARNING  
Used engine oil may cause skin irri-  
tation or cancer if left in contact  
with the skin for prolonged periods  
of time. Used engine oil contains  
chemicals that have caused cancer  
in laboratory animals. Always pro-  
tect your skin by washing your  
hands thoroughly with soap and  
warm water as soon as possible  
after handling used oil.  
• Never attempt to remove the radi-  
ator cap while the engine is oper-  
ating or hot. Doing so might lead  
to cooling system and engine  
damage and could result in seri-  
ous personal injury from escap-  
ing hot coolant or steam.  
• 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 while 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.  
(Continued)  
7 23  
Maintenance  
Recommended engine coolant  
• Use only soft (distilled) water in the  
coolant mixture.  
• The engine in your vehicle has alu-  
minum engine parts and must be pro-  
tected by an ethylene-glycol-based  
coolant to prevent corrosion and freez-  
ing.  
(Continued)  
• Even if the engine is not operat-  
ing, do not remove the radiator  
cap or the drain plug while the  
engine and radiator are hot. Hot  
coolant and steam may still blow  
out under pressure, causing seri-  
ous injury.  
• DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol  
coolant or mix them with the specified  
coolant.  
• Do not use a solution that contains  
more than 60% antifreeze or less than  
35% antifreeze, which would reduce  
the effectiveness of the solution.

Maintenance  
BRAKES/CLUTCH(IF EQUIPPED) FLUID  
Left-hand drive  
Before removing the reservoir cap and  
adding brake/clutch fluid, clean the area  
around the reservoir cap thoroughly to  
prevent brake/clutch fluid contamination.  
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX  
level. The level will fall with accumulated  
mileage. This is a normal condition asso-  
ciated with the wear of the brake linings.  
If the fluid level is excessively low, we  
recommend that the system be checked  
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.  
WARNING - Brake/clutch  
fluid  
When changing and adding  
brake/clutch fluid, handle it careful-  
ly. Do not let it come in contact with  
your eyes. If brake/clutch fluid  
come in contact with your eyes,  
immediately flush them with a large  
quantity of fresh tap water. Have  
your eyes examined by a doctor as  
soon as possible.  
OBA073006

will  
result.  
Brake/clutch fluid, which has been  
exposed to open air for an extended  
time should never be used as its  
quality cannot be guaranteed. It  
should be properly disposed. Don't  
put in the wrong kind of fluid. A few  
drops of mineral-based oil, such as  
engine oil, in your brake/clutch sys-  
tem can damage the system parts.  
OBA073006R  
WARNING - Loss of brake  
fluid  
In the event the brake system  
requires frequent additions of fluid,  
we recommend that the system be  
inspected by an authorized  
HYUNDAI dealer.  
Checking the brake/clutch fluid  
level  
Check the fluid level in the reservoir peri-  
odically. The fluid level should be  
between MAX and MIN marks on the  
side of the reservoir.  
7 26  
Maintenance  
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)  
WARNING - Transaxle fluid  
The transaxle fluid level should be  
checked when the engine is at nor-  
mal operating temperature. This  
means that the engine, radiator,  
radiator hose and exhaust system  
etc., are very hot. Exercise great  
care not to burn yourself during  
this procedure.  
OBA073007  
OHD076045N  
3. Confirm that the fluid level is in “HOT”  
range on the level gauge. If the fluid  
level is lower, add the specified fluid in  
the fill hole. If the fluid level is higher,  
drain the fluid from the drain hole.  
4. If the fluid level is checked in cold con-  
dition (fluid temperature 20~30°C  
(68~86°F) add the fluid to “C” (COLD)  
line and then recheck the fluid level  
according to the above step 2.  
Checking the automatic transaxle  
fluid level  
The automatic transaxle fluid level  
should be checked regularly.  
Keep the vehicle on the level ground with  
the parking brake applied and check the  
fluid level according to the following pro-  
cedure.  
1. Place the shift lever in N (Neutral)  
position and confirm the engine is run-  
ning at normal idle speed.  
2. After the transaxle is warmed up suffi-  
ciently (fluid temperature 70~80°C  
(158~176°F), for example by 10 min-  
utes usual driving, move the shift lever  
through all the positions then place the  
shift lever in “N (Neutral) or P (Park)”  
position.  
7 27  
Maintenance  
Changing the automatic transaxle  
fluid  
We recommend that the system be  
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI  
dealer.  
NOTICE  
CAUTION  
A new automatic transaxle fluid should  
be red. The red dye is added so the  
assembly plant can identify it as auto-  
matic transaxle fluid and distinguish it  
from engine oil or antifreeze. The red  
dye, which is not an indicator of fluid  
quality, is not permanent. As the vehicle  
is driven, the automatic transaxle fluid  
will begin to look darker. The color may  
eventually appear light brown.  
Therefore, we recommend that the sys-  
tem be replaced by an authorized  
HYUNDAI dealer according to the  
Scheduled Maintenance at the begin-  
ning of this chapter.  
• Low fluid level causes transaxle  
shift slippage. Overfilling can  
cause foaming, loss of fluid and  
transaxle malfunction.  
• The use of a non-specified fluid  
could result in transaxle malfunc-  
tion and failure.  
WARNING - Parking brake  
To avoid sudden movement of the  
vehicle, apply the parking brake  
and depress the brake pedal before  
moving the shift lever.  
Use only the specified automatic  
transaxle fluid. (Refer to “Recommended  
lubricants and capacities” in chapter 8.)  
NOTICE  
“C” (COLD) range is for reference only  
and should NOT be used to determine  
the transaxle fluid level.

TIRES AND WHEELS  
Tire care  
For proper maintenance, safety, and  
maximum fuel economy, you must  
always maintain recommended tire  
inflation pressures and stay within  
the load limits and weight distribution  
recommended for your vehicle.  
WARNING - Tire underin-  
flation  
Severe underinflation (70 kPa  
(10 psi) or more) can lead to  
severe heat build-up, causing  
blowouts, tread separation and  
other tire failures that can result  
in the loss of vehicle control  
leading to severe injury or  
death. This risk is much higher  
on hot days and when driving  
for long periods at high speeds.  
Recommended cold tire inflation  
pressures  
All tire pressures (including the  
spare) should be checked when the  
tires are cold. “Cold Tires” means the  
vehicle has not been driven for at  
least three hours or driven less than  
1.6 km (one mile).  
OBA073010  
All specifications (sizes and pres-  
sures) can be found on a label  
attached to the vehicle.  
Recommended pressures must be  
maintained for the best ride, top vehi-  
cle handling, and minimum tire wear.  
For recommended inflation pressure  
refer to “Tire and wheels” in chapter 8.  
7 41  
Maintenance  
CAUTION  
CAUTION  
CAUTION - Tire pressure  
Always observe the following:  
• Check tire pressure when the  
tires are cold. (After vehicle  
has been parked for at least  
three hours or hasn't been  
driven more than 1.6 km (one  
mile) since startup.)  
• Check the pressure of your  
spare tire each time you check  
the pressure of other tires.  
• Never overload your vehicle.  
Be careful not to overload a  
vehicle luggage rack if your  
vehicle is equipped with one.  
• Underinflation also results in  
excessive wear, poor handling  
and reduced fuel economy.  
Wheel deformation also is  
possible. Keep your tire pres-  
sures at the proper levels. If a  
tire frequently needs refilling,  
we recommend that the sys-  
tem be checked by an author-  
ized HYUNDAI dealer.  
• Warm tires normally exceed  
recommended cold tire pres-  
sures by 28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6  
psi). Do not release air from  
warm tires to adjust the pres-  
sure or the tires will be under-  
inflated.  
• Be sure to reinstall the tire  
inflation valve caps. Without  
the valve cap, dirt or moisture  
could get into the valve core  
and cause air leakage. If a  
valve cap is missing, install a  
new one as soon as possible.  
• Overinflation produces  
a
harsh ride, excessive wear at  
the center of the tire tread, and  
a greater possibility of dam-  
age from road hazards.  
• Worn, old tires can cause acci-  
dents. If your tread is badly  
worn, or if your tires have  
been damaged, replace them.  
WARNING - Tire inflation  
Overinflation or underinflation  
can reduce tire life, adversely  
affect vehicle handling, and  
lead to sudden tire failure. This  
could result in loss of vehicle  
control and potential injury.  
7 42  
Maintenance  
Checking tire inflation pressure  
Check your tires once a month or  
more.  
Also, check the tire pressure of the  
spare tire.  
Remove the valve cap from the tire  
valve stem. Press the tire gage firm-  
ly onto the valve to get a pressure  
measurement. If the cold tire inflation  
pressure matches the recommended  
pressure on the tire and loading  
information label, no further adjust-  
ment is necessary. If the pressure is  
low, add air until you reach the rec-  
ommended amount.  
If you overfill the tire, release air by  
pushing on the metal stem in the  
center of the tire valve. Recheck the  
tire pressure with the tire gage. Be  
sure to put the valve caps back on  
the valve stems. They help prevent  
leaks by keeping out dirt and mois-  
ture.  
WARNING  
• Inspect your tires frequently  
for proper inflation as well as  
wear and damage. Always use  
a tire pressure gauge.  
• Tires with too much or too little  
pressure wear unevenly caus-  
ing poor handling, loss of vehi-  
cle control, and sudden tire  
failure leading to accidents,  
injuries, and even death. The  
recommended cold tire pres-  
sure for your vehicle can be  
found in this manual and on  
the tire label located on the dri-  
ver's side center pillar.  
How to check  
Use a good quality gage to check tire  
pressure.You can not tell if your tires  
are properly inflated simply by look-  
ing at them. Radial tires may look  
properly inflated even when they're  
underinflated.  
Check the tire's inflation pressure  
when the tires are cold. - "Cold"  
means your vehicle has been sitting  
for at least three hours or driven no  
more than 1.6 km (1 mile).  
• Worn tires can cause acci-  
dents. Replace tires that are  
worn, show uneven wear, or  
are damaged.  
• Remember to check the pres-  
sure of your spare tire.  
HYUNDAI recommends that  
you check the spare every  
time you check the pressure  
of the other tires on your vehi-  
cle.

Tire rotation  
WARNING  
To equalize tread wear, it is recom-  
mended that the tires be rotated  
every 12,000 km (7,500 miles) or  
sooner if irregular wear develops.  
During rotation, check the tires for  
correct balance.  
When rotating tires, check for uneven  
wear and damage. Abnormal wear is  
usually caused by incorrect tire pres-  
sure, improper wheel alignment, out-  
of-balance wheels, severe braking or  
severe cornering. Look for bumps or  
bulges in the tread or side of tire.  
Replace the tire if you find either of  
these conditions. Replace the tire if  
fabric or cord is visible. After rotation,  
be sure to bring the front and rear tire  
pressures to specification and check  
lug nut tightness.  
• Do not use the compact spare  
tire for tire rotation.  
• Do not mix bias ply and radial  
ply tires under any circum-  
stances. This may cause  
unusual handling characteris-  
tics that could result in death,  
severe injury, or property  
damage.

WARNING - Replacing  
The wheels on your vehicle were  
aligned and balanced carefully at the  
factory to give you the longest tire life  
and best overall performance.

have your wheels aligned again.  
However, if you notice unusual tire  
wear or your vehicle pulling one way  
or the other, the alignment may need  
to be reset.  
tires  
To reduce the chance or serious  
or fatal injuries from an acci-  
dent caused by tire failure or  
loss of vehicle control:  
• Replace tires that are worn,  
show uneven wear, or are  
damaged. Worn tires can  
cause loss of braking effec-  
tiveness, steering control, and  
traction.  
• Do not drive your vehicle with  
too little or too much pressure  
in your tires. This can lead to  
uneven wear and tire failure.  
• When replacing tires, never  
mix radial and bias-ply tires  
on the same car. You must  
replace all tires (including the  
spare) if moving from radial to  
bias-ply tires.  
OEN076053  
If you notice your vehicle vibrating  
when driving on a smooth road, your  
wheels may need to be rebalanced.  
Tire replacement  
If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear  
indicator will appear as a solid band  
across the tread. This shows there is  
less than 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) of tread  
left on the tire. Replace the tire when  
this happens.  
Do not wait for the band to appear  
across the entire tread before replac-  
ing the tire.

In addition to proper inflation, correct  
wheel alignment helps to decrease  
tire wear. If you find a tire is worn  
unevenly, have your dealer check the  
wheel alignment.  
When you have new tires installed,  
make sure they are balanced. This  
will increase vehicle ride comfort and

5. Maximum permissible inflation  
pressure  
The tread wear grade is a compara-  
tive rating based on the wear rate of  
the tire when tested under controlled  
conditions on a specified govern-  
ment test course. For example, a tire  
graded 150 would wear one-and-a-  
half times (1½) as well on the gov-  
ernment course as a tire graded 100.  
The relative performance of tires  
depends upon the actual conditions  
of their use, however, and may  
depart significantly from the norm  
due to variations in driving habits,  
service practices and differences in  
road characteristics and climate.  
This number is the greatest amount  
of air pressure that should be put in  
the tire. Do not exceed the maximum  
permissible inflation pressure. Refer  
to the Tire and Loading Information  
label for recommended inflation  
pressure.  
6. Maximum load rating  
This number indicates the maximum  
load in kilograms and pounds that  
can be carried by the tire. When

Maintenance  
Temperature -A, B & C  
These grades are molded on the  
side-walls of passenger vehicle tires.  
The tires available as standard or  
optional equipment on your vehicles  
may vary with respect to grade.  
WARNING - Tire  
temperature  
The temperature grades are A (the  
highest), B and C representing the  
tire’s resistance to the generation of  
heat and its ability to dissipate heat  
when tested under controlled condi-  
tions on a specified indoor laboratory  
test wheel.  
Sustained high temperature can  
cause the material of the tire to  
degenerate and reduce tire life, and  
excessive temperature can lead to  
sudden tire failure. Grades B and A  
represent higher levels of perform-  
ance on the laboratory test wheel  
than the minimum required by law.  
The temperature grade for this  
tire is established for a tire that  
is properly inflated and not  
overloaded. Excessive speed,  
underinflation, or excessive  
loading, either separately or in  
combination, can cause heat  
build-up and possible sudden  
tire failure. This can cause loss  
of vehicle control and serious  
injury or death.  
Traction - AA, A, B & C  
The traction grades, from highest to  
lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those  
grades represent the tires ability to  
stop on wet pavement as measured  
under controlled conditions on spec-  
ified government test surfaces of  
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked  
C may have poor traction perform-  
ance.  
WARNING  
The traction grade assigned to  
this tire is based on straight-  
ahead braking traction tests,  
and does not include accelera-  
tion, cornering, hydroplaning,  
or peak traction characteristics.

Maintenance  
Low aspect ratio tire (if equipped)  
CAUTION  
CAUTION  
Low aspect ratio tires, the aspect  
ratio is lower than 50, are provided  
for sporty looks.  
Because the low aspect ratio tires  
are optimized for handling and brak-  
ing, it may be more uncomfortable to  
ride in and there is more noise com-  
pare with normal tires.  
Because the sidewall of the low  
aspect ratio tire is shorter than  
the normal, the wheel and tire of  
the low aspect ratio tire is easi-  
er to be damaged. So, follow the  
instructions below.  
• It is not easy to recognize the  
tire damage with your own  
eyes. But if there is the slight-  
est hint of tire damage, even  
though you cannot see the tire  
damage with your own eyes,  
have the tire checked or  
replaced because the tire  
damage may cause air leak-  
age from the tire.  
- When driving on a rough road  
or off road, drive cautiously  
because tires and wheels may  
be damaged. And after driving,  
inspect tires and wheels.  
- When passing over a pothole,  
speed bump, manhole, or curb  
stone, drive slowly so that the  
tires and wheels are not dam-  
aged.  
• If the tire is damaged by driv-  
ing on a rough road, off road,  
pothole, manhole, or curb  
stone, it will not be covered by  
the warranty.  
You can find out the tire infor-  
mation on the tire sidewall.  
- If the tire is impacted, we rec-  
ommend that you inspect the  
tire condition or contact an  
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.  
- To prevent damage to the tire,  
inspect the tire condition and  
pressure every 3,000km.

LIGHT BULBS  
Consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer  
to replace most vehicle light bulbs. It is  
difficult to replace vehicle light bulbs  
because other parts of the vehicle must  
be removed before you can get to the  
bulb. This is especially true for removing  
the headlight assembly to get to the  
bulb(s). Removing/installing the head-  
light assembly can result in damage to  
the vehicle.  
CAUTION  
WARNING  
Be sure to replace the burned-out  
bulb with one of the same wattage  
rating. Otherwise, it may cause  
damage to the fuse or electric  
wiring system.  
• Prior to replacing a light, depress  
the foot brake, move the shift  
lever into the P (Park, for auto-  
matic transaxle vehicle) or neu-  
tral (for manual transaxle vehi-  
cle), apply the parking brake,  
place the ignition  
switch in the LOCK/OFF position,  
and take the key with you when  
leaving the vehicle to avoid sud-  
den movement of the vehicle and  
to prevent possible electric  
shock.  
NOTICE  
After heavy driving, rain or washing  
headlight and taillight lenses could  
appear frosty. This condition is caused  
by the temperature difference between  
the lamp inside and outside. This is sim-  
ilar to the condensation on your win-  
dows inside your vehicle during the rain  
and doesn’t indicate a problem with  
your vehicle. If the water leaks into the  
lamp bulb circuitry, we recommend that  
the system be checked by an authorized  
HYUNDAI dealer.  
• Be aware the bulbs may be hot  
and may burn your fingers.  
7 69  
Maintenance  
(Continued)  
• If a bulb becomes damaged or  
cracked, replace it immediately  
and carefully dispose of it.  
• Wear eye protection when chang-  
ing a bulb. Allow the bulb to cool  
down before handling it.  
NOTICE  
If the headlight aiming adjustment is  
necessary after the headlight assembly is  
reinstalled, consult an authorized  
HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING - Halogen bulbs  
• Halogen bulbs contain pressur-  
ized gas that will produce flying  
pieces of glass if broken.  
• Always handle them carefully,  
and avoid scratches and abra-  
sions. If the bulbs are lit, avoid  
contact with liquids. Never touch  
the glass with bare hands.  
Residual oil may cause the bulb  
to overheat and burst when lit. A  
bulb should be operated only  
when installed in a headlight.

Maintenance  
APPEARANCE CARE  
Even prompt washing with plain water  
may not completely remove all these  
deposits. A mild soap, safe for use on  
painted surfaces, may be used.  
After washing, rinse the vehicle thor-  
oughly with lukewarm or cold water. Do  
not allow soap to dry on the finish.  
Exterior care  
Exterior general caution  
It is very important to follow the label  
directions when using any chemical  
cleaner or polish. Read all warning and  
caution statements that appear on the  
label.  
CAUTION  
Finish maintenance  
Washing  
To help protect your vehicle’s finish from  
rust and deterioration, wash it thoroughly  
and frequently at least once a month with  
lukewarm or cold water.  
Do not use strong soap, chemical  
detergents or hot water, and do not  
wash the vehicle in direct sunlight  
or when the body of the vehicle is  
warm.  
OJB037800  
CAUTION  
If you use your vehicle for off-road driv-  
ing, you should wash it after each off-  
road trip. Pay special attention to the  
removal of any accumulation of salt, dirt,  
mud, and other foreign materials. Make  
sure the drain holes in the lower edges of  
the doors and rocker panels are kept  
clear and clean.  
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,  
industrial pollution and similar deposits  
can damage your vehicle’s finish if not  
removed immediately.  
• Water washing in the engine com-  
partment including high pressure  
water washing may cause the fail-  
ure of electrical circuits located in  
the engine compartment.  
WARNING - Wet brakes  
After washing the vehicle, test the  
brakes while driving slowly to see if  
they have been affected by water. If  
braking performance is impaired,  
dry the brakes by applying them  
lightly while maintaining a slow for-  
ward speed.  
• Never allow water or other liquids  
to come in contact with electri-  
cal/electronic components inside  
the vehicle as this may damage  
them.  
7 76  
Maintenance  
Waxing  
Finish damage repair  
Bright-metal maintenance  
Wax the vehicle when water will no  
longer bead on the paint.  
Deep scratches or stone chips in the  
painted surface must be repaired  
promptly. Exposed metal will quickly rust  
and may develop into a major repair  
expense.  
To remove road tar and insects, use a  
tar remover, not a scraper or other  
sharp object.  
To protect the surfaces of bright-metal  
parts from corrosion, apply a coating of  
wax or chrome preservative and rub to  
a high luster.  
• During winter weather or in coastal  
areas, cover the bright metal parts with  
a heavier coating of wax or preserva-  
tive. If necessary, coat the parts with  
non-corrosive petroleum jelly or other  
protective compound.  
Always wash and dry the vehicle before  
waxing. Use a good quality liquid or  
paste wax, and follow the manufacturer’s  
instructions. Wax all metal trim to protect  
it and to maintain its luster.  
Removing oil, tar, and similar materials  
with a spot remover will usually strip the  
wax from the finish. Be sure to re-wax  
these areas even if the rest of the vehicle  
does not yet need waxing.  
NOTICE  
If your vehicle is damaged and requires  
any metal repair or replacement, be sure  
the body shop applies anti-corrosion  
materials to the parts repaired or  
replaced.  
CAUTION  
• Wiping dust or dirt off the body  
with a dry cloth will scratch the  
finish.  
• Do not use steel wool, abrasive  
cleaners, or strong detergents  
containing highly alkaline or  
caustic agents on chrome-plated  
or anodized aluminum parts. This  
may result in damage to the pro-  
tective coating and cause discol-  
oration or paint deterioration.

Maintenance  
Underbody maintenance  
Aluminum wheel maintenance  
WARNING  
Corrosive materials used for ice and  
snow removal and dust control may col-  
lect on the underbody. If these materials  
are not removed, accelerated rusting can  
occur on underbody parts such as the  
fuel lines, frame, floor pan and exhaust  
system, even though they have been  
treated with rust protection.  
Thoroughly flush the vehicle underbody  
and wheel openings with lukewarm or  
cold water once a month, after off-road  
driving and at the end of each winter. Pay  
special attention to these areas because  
it is difficult to see all the mud and dirt. It  
will do more harm than good to wet down  
the road grime without removing it. The  
lower edges of the doors, rocker panels,  
and frame members have drain holes  
that should not clog with dirt; trapped  
water in these areas can cause rusting.  
The aluminum wheels are coated with a  
clear protective finish.  
• Do not use any abrasive cleaner, pol-  
ishing compound, solvent, or wire  
brushes on aluminum wheels. They  
may scratch or damage the finish.  
• Use only a mild soap or neutral deter-  
gent, and rinse thoroughly with water.  
Also, be sure to clean the wheels after  
driving on salted roads. This helps pre-  
vent corrosion.  
• Avoid washing the wheels with high-  
speed car wash brushes.  
After washing the vehicle, test the  
brakes while driving slowly to see if  
they have been affected by water. If  
braking performance is impaired,  
dry the brakes by applying them  
lightly while maintaining a slow for-  
ward speed.  
• Do not use any acid detergent. It may  
damage and corrode the aluminum  
wheels coated with a clear protective  
finish.

High-corrosion areas  
Moisture breeds corrosion  
Corrosion protection  
Protecting your vehicle from corrosion  
If you live in an area where your car is  
regularly exposed to corrosive materials,  
corrosion protection is particularly impor-  
tant. Some of the common causes of  
accelerated corrosion are road salts,  
dust control chemicals, ocean air and  
industrial pollution.  
Moisture creates the conditions in which  
corrosion is most likely to occur. For  
example, corrosion is accelerated by  
high humidity, particularly when tempera-  
tures are just above freezing. In such  
conditions, the corrosive material is kept  
in contact with the vehicle’s surfaces with  
moisture that slowly evaporate.  
By using the most advanced design and  
construction practices to combat corro-  
sion, we produces cars of the highest  
quality. However, this is only part of the  
job. To achieve the long-term corrosion  
resistance your vehicle can deliver, the  
owner's cooperation and assistance is  
also required.  
Mud is particularly corrosive because it  
dries slowly and holds moisture in con-  
tact with the vehicle. Although the mud  
appears to be dry, it can still retain mois-  
ture and promote corrosion.  
Common causes of corrosion  
The most common causes of corrosion  
on your car are:  
High temperatures can also accelerate  
corrosion of parts that are not properly  
ventilated so the moisture can be dis-  
persed. For all these reasons, it is par-  
ticularly important to keep your vehicle  
clean and free of mud or accumulations  
of other materials. This applies not only  
to the visible surfaces but particularly to  
the underside of the vehicle.  
• Road salt, dirt and moisture that is  
allowed to accumulate underneath the  
car.  
• Removal of paint or protective coatings  
by stones, gravel, abrasion or minor  
scrapes and dents which leave unpro-  
tected metal exposed to corrosion.

Maintenance  
To help prevent corrosion  
You can help prevent corrosion from get-  
ting started by observing the following:  
• When cleaning underneath the vehicle,  
give particular attention to the compo-  
nents under the fenders and other  
areas that are hidden from view. Do a  
thorough job; just dampening the accu-  
mulated mud rather than washing it  
away will accelerate corrosion rather  
than prevent it. Water under high pres-  
sure and steam are particularly effec-  
tive in removing accumulated mud and  
corrosive materials.  
• When cleaning lower door panels,  
rocker panels and frame members, be  
sure that drain holes are kept open so  
that moisture can escape and not be  
trapped inside to accelerate corrosion.  
Keep paint and trim in good condition  
Scratches or chips in the finish should be  
covered with "touch-up" paint as soon as  
possible to reduce the possibility of cor-  
rosion. If bare metal is showing through,  
the attention of a qualified body and paint  
shop is recommended.  
Keep your vehicle clean  
The best way to prevent corrosion is to  
keep your vehicle clean and free of cor-  
rosive materials. Attention to the under-  
side of the vehicle is particularly impor-  
tant.  
Bird droppings : Bird droppings are high-  
ly corrosive and may damage painted  
surfaces in just a few hours. Always  
remove bird droppings as soon as possi-  
ble.  
• If you live in a high-corrosion area —  
where road salts are used, near the  
ocean, areas with industrial pollution,  
acid rain, etc.—, you should take extra  
care to prevent corrosion. In winter,  
hose off the underside of your vehicle  
at least once a month and be sure to  
clean the underside thoroughly when  
winter is over.  
Don't neglect the interior  
Moisture can collect under the floor mats  
and carpeting and cause corrosion.  
Check under the mats periodically to be  
sure the carpeting is dry. Use particular  
care if you carry fertilizers, cleaning  
materials or chemicals in the vehicle.  
These should be carried only in proper  
containers and any spills or leaks should  
be cleaned up, flushed with clean water  
and thoroughly dried.  
Keep your garage dry  
Don't park your vehicle in a damp, poorly  
ventilated garage. This creates a favor-  
able environment for corrosion. This is  
particularly true if you wash your vehicle  
in the garage or drive it into the garage  
when it is still wet or covered with snow,  
ice or mud. Even a heated garage can  
contribute to corrosion unless it is well  
ventilated so moisture is dispersed.

Maintenance  
Cleaning the upholstery and interior  
trim  
Vinyl  
Remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl  
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.  
Clean vinyl surfaces with a vinyl cleaner.  
Cleaning the lap/shoulder belt web-  
bing  
Interior care  
Interior general precautions  
Clean the belt webbing with any mild  
soap solution recommended for cleaning  
upholstery or carpet. Follow the instruc-  
tions provided with the soap. Do not  
bleach or re-dye the webbing because  
this may weaken it.  
Prevent caustic solutions such as per-  
fume and cosmetic oil from contacting  
the dashboard because they may cause  
damage or discoloration. If they do con-  
tact the dashboard, wipe them off imme-  
diately. See the instructions for the prop-  
er way to clean vinyl.  
Fabric  
Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric  
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.  
Clean with a mild soap solution recom-  
mended for upholstery or carpets.  
Remove fresh spots immediately with a  
fabric spot cleaner. If fresh spots do not  
receive immediate attention, the fabric  
can be stained and its color can be  
affected. Also, its fire-resistant properties  
can be reduced if the material is not  
properly maintained.  
Cleaning the interior window glass  
If the interior glass surfaces of the vehi-  
cle become fogged (that is, covered with  
an oily, greasy or waxy film), they should  
be cleaned with glass cleaner. Follow the  
directions on the glass cleaner container.  
CAUTION  
Never allow water or other liquids  
to  
come  
in  
contact  
with  
electrical/electronic components  
inside the vehicle as this may dam-  
age them.  
CAUTION  
Do not scrape or scratch the inside  
of the rear window. This may result  
in damage to the rear window  
defroster grid.  
CAUTION  
Using anything but recommended  
cleaners and procedures may affect  
the fabric’s appearance and fire-  
resistant properties.

Maintenance  
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM  
The emission control system of your  
vehicle is covered by a written limited  
warranty. Please see the warranty infor-  
mation contained in the Service Passport  
in your vehicle.  
Your vehicle is equipped with an emis-  
sion control system to meet all emission  
regulations.  
Caution for the Inspection and  
Maintenance Test (With Electronic  
Stability Control (ESC) system)  
• To prevent the vehicle from misfir-  
ing during dynamometer testing,  
turn the Electronic Stability Control  
(ESC) system off by pressing the  
ESC switch.  
2. Evaporative emission control  
System  
The Evaporative Emission Control  
System is designed to prevent fuel  
vapors from escaping into the atmos-  
phere.  
Canister  
There are three emission control sys-  
tems which are as follows.  
• After dynamometer testing is com-  
pleted, turn the ESC system back on  
by pressing the ESC switch again.  
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel  
tank are absorbed and stored in the  
onboard canister. When the engine is  
running, the fuel vapors absorbed in the  
canister are drawn into the surge tank  
through the purge control solenoid valve.  
(1) Crankcase emission control system  
(2) Evaporative emission control system  
(3) Exhaust emission control system  
1. Crankcase emission control  
system  
The positive crankcase ventilation sys-  
tem is employed to prevent air pollution  
caused by blow-by gases being emitted  
from the crankcase.This system supplies  
fresh filtered air to the crankcase through  
the air intake hose. Inside the crankcase,  
the fresh air mixes with blow-by gases,  
which then pass through the PCV valve  
into the induction system.  
Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)  
In order to assure the proper function of  
the emission control systems, it is rec-  
ommended that you have your vehicle  
inspected and maintained by an author-  
ized HYUNDAI dealer in accordance with  
the maintenance schedule in this manu-  
al.  
The purge control solenoid valve is con-  
trolled by the Engine Control Module  
(ECM); when the engine coolant temper-  
ature is low during idling, the PCSV clos-  
es so that evaporated 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.

Maintenance  
Engine exhaust gas precautions  
(carbon monoxide)  
• Do not operate the engine in confined  
or closed areas (such as garages) any  
more than what is necessary to move  
the vehicle in or out of the area.  
• When the vehicle is stopped in an  
open area for more than a short time  
with the engine running, adjust the  
ventilation system (as needed) to draw  
outside air into the vehicle.  
• Never sit in a parked or stopped vehi-  
cle for any extended time with the  
engine running.  
• When the engine stalls or fails to start,  
excessive attempts to restart the  
engine may cause damage to the  
emission control system.  
3. Exhaust emission control  
system  
The Exhaust Emission Control System is  
a highly effective system which controls  
exhaust emissions while maintaining  
good vehicle performance.  
• 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 sus-  
pect exhaust fumes are coming into  
your vehicle, drive it only with all the  
windows fully open. Have your vehicle  
checked and repaired immediately.  
Vehicle modifications  
This vehicle should not be modified.  
Modification of your vehicle could affect  
its performance, safety or durability and  
may even violate governmental safety  
and emissions regulations.  
In addition, damage or performance  
problems resulting from any modification  
may not be covered under warranty.  
WARNING - Exhaust  
Engine exhaust gases contain car-  
bon monoxide (CO). Though color-  
less and odorless, it is dangerous  
and could be lethal if inhaled.  
Follow the instructions following to  
avoid CO poisoning.

Maintenance  
Operating precautions for catalytic  
converters (if equipped)  
• Do not operate the engine at high idle  
speed for extended periods (5 minutes  
or more).  
• Do not modify or tamper with any part  
of the engine or emission control sys-  
tem. We recommend that the system  
be inspected by an authorized  
HYUNDAI dealer.  
• Avoid driving with a very low fuel level.  
If you run out of gasoline, it could  
cause the engine to misfire and dam-  
age the catalytic converter.  
Failure to observe these precautions  
could result in damage to the catalytic  
converter and to your vehicle.  
Additionally, such actions could void your  
warranties.  
WARNING - Fire  
A hot exhaust system can ignite  
flammable items under your vehi-  
cle. Do not park the vehicle over or  
near flammable objects, such as  
grass, vegetation, paper, leaves,  
etc.  
Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic  
converter emission control device.  
Therefore, the following precautions  
must be observed:  
• Use only UNLEADED FUEL for gaso-  
line engine.  
• Do not operate the vehicle when there  
are signs of engine malfunction, such  
as misfire or a noticeable loss of per-  
formance.  
• Do not misuse or abuse the engine.  
Examples of misuse are coasting with  
the ignition off and descending steep  
grades in gear with the ignition off.
