MAINTENANCE SERVICES

G020000AFD-EA

G020100AFD-EA

Repairs and adjustments required as a

result of improper maintenance or a lack

of required maintenance are not covered.

You should exercise the utmost care to

prevent damage to your vehicle and

injury to yourself whenever performing

any maintenance or inspection proce-

dures.

Should you have any doubts concerning

the inspection or servicing of your vehi-

cle, we strongly recommend that you

have an authorised HYUNDAI dealer

perform this work.

An authorised HYUNDAI dealer has fac-

tory-trained technicians and genuine

HYUNDAI parts to service your vehicle

properly. For expert advice and quality

service, see an authorised HYUNDAI

dealer.

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

We recommend you have your vehicle

maintained and repaired by an autho-

rised HYUNDAI dealer. An authorised

HYUNDAI dealer meets HYUNDAI’s high

service quality standards and receives

technical support from HYUNDAI in

order to provide you with a high level of

service satisfaction.

✽

NOTICE

Maintenance Service and Record

Retention are the owner's responsibility.

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.

G020200AFD-EA

Owner maintenance precautions

WARNING - Maintenance

work

WARNING - Diesel Engine

Never work on injection system

with engine running or within 30

seconds after shutting off engine.

High-pressure pump, rail, injectors

and high-pressure pipes are sub-

ject to high pressure even after the

engine stopped. The fuel jet pro-

duced by fuel leaks may cause seri-

ous injury, if it touches the body.

People using pacemakers should

not move than 30cm closer to the

ECU or wiring harness within the

engine room while engine is run-

ning, since the high currents in the

electronic engine control system

produce considerable magnetic

fields.

Improper or incomplete service may

result in problems. This section gives

instructions only for the maintenance

items that are easy to perform.

As explained earlier in this section, sev-

eral procedures can be done only by an

authorised HYUNDAI dealer with special

tools.

• 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, have it done by an

authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

• Working under the bonnet 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 bonnet, make cer-

tain that you remove all jewelry

(especially rings, bracelets,

watches, and necklaces) and all

neckties, scarves, and similar

loose clothing before getting

near the engine or cooling fans.

✽

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, have it

done by an authorised HYUNDAI deal-

er.

OWNER MAINTENANCE

G030000AFD-EA

G030102AUN-EA

Owner maintenance schedule

G030101AUN-EA

The following lists are vehicle checks and

inspections that should be performed by

the owner or an authorised HYUNDAI

dealer at the frequencies indicated to

help ensure safe, dependable operation

of your vehicle.

Any adverse conditions should be

brought to the attention of your dealer as

soon as possible.

While 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 any increased steering

effort or looseness in the steering

wheel, or change in its straight-ahead

position.

When you stop for fuel:

• Check the engine oil level.

• Check coolant level in coolant reser-

voir.

• Check the windshield washer fluid

level.

• Look for low or under-inflated tyres.

These Owner Maintenance Checks are

generally not covered by warranties and

you may be charged for labour, parts and

lubricants used.

• Notice if your vehicle constantly turns

slightly or “pulls” to one side when trav-

elling 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 oper-

ation of your transaxle occurs, check

the transaxle fluid level.

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.

• Check automatic transaxle P (Park)

function.

• Check hand brake.

• Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle

(water dripping from the air condition-

ing system during or after use is nor-

mal).

G050100AUN

G050300AFD-EA

G050400AFD-EA

Engine oil and filter

Fuel filter (cartridge)

Fuel lines, fuel hoses and con-

nections

Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and con-

nections for leakage and damage. Have

an authorised HYUNDAI dealer replace

any damaged or leaking parts immedi-

ately.

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 fre-

quent 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.

G050200AUN

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 authorised HYUNDAI

dealer.

Drive belts

WARNING - Diesel only

Inspect all drive belts for evidence of

cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil satu-

ration and replace if necessary. Drive

belts should be checked periodically for

proper tension and adjusted as neces-

sary.

Never work on injection system

with engine running or within 30

seconds after shutting off engine.

High pressure pump, rail, injectors

and high pressure pipes are sub-

ject to high pressure even after the

engine stopped. The fuel jet pro-

duced by fuel leaks may cause seri-

ous injury, if it touch the body.

People using pacemakers should

not move than 30cm closer to the

ECU or wiring harness within the

engine room while engine is run-

ning, since the high currents in the

Common Rail system produce con-

siderable magnetic fields.

Timing belt (if equipped)

Vacuum crankcase ventilation

hoses (if equipped)

Air cleaner filter

Inspect all parts related to the timing belt

for damage and deformation. Replace

any damaged parts immediately.

A Genuine HYUNDAI air cleaner filter is

recommended when the filter is

replaced.

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.

G050600AUN-EA

G050900AUN-EA

Vapour hose and fuel filler cap

Spark plugs (for petrol engine)

Make sure to install new spark plugs of

the correct heat range.

ENGINE COOLANT

G060200AFD-EA

G070000AFD-EA

(Continued)

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 concentration level at least once

a year, at the beginning of the winter sea-

son, and before travelling to a colder cli-

mate.

Changing the engine oil and filter

• 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.

Have engine oil and filter changed by an

authorised HYUNDAI dealer according to

the Maintenance Schedule at the begin-

ning of this section.

G070100AFD-EA

Checking the coolant level

• 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.

WARNING - Removing

radiator cap

• 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.

WARNING

Used engine oil may cause irrita-

tion or cancer of the skin if left in

contact with the skin for prolonged

periods of time. Used engine oil

contains chemicals that have

caused cancer in laboratory ani-

mals. Always protect your skin by

washing your hands thoroughly

with soap and warm water as soon

as possible after handling used oil.

BRAKE AND CLUTCH (IF EQUIPPED) FLUID

Brake fluid reservoir

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, have

the brake system checked by an autho-

rised HYUNDAI dealer.

NOTICE

CAUTION

WARNING - Transaxle fluid

New automatic transaxle fluid should be

red. The red dye is added so the assem-

transaxle fluid and distinguish it from

engine oil or antifreeze. The red dye,

which is not an indicator of fluid quali-

ty, is not permanent. As the vehicle is

driven, the automatic transaxle fluid

will begin to look darker. The color may

eventually appear light brown.

• Low fluid level causes transaxle

slippage. Overfilling can cause

foaming, loss of fluid and transaxle

malfunction.

The transaxle fluid level should be

checked when the engine is at nor-

TYRES AND WHEELS

G200100AUN-EA

Tyre care

WARNING - Tyre underin-

flation

For proper maintenance, safety, and

maximum fuel economy, you must

always maintain recommended tyre

inflation pressures and stay within

the load limits and weight distribution

recommended for your vehicle.

Severe underinflation (70 kPa

(10 psi) or more) can lead to

severe heat build-up, causing

blowouts, tread separation and

other tyre failures that can

result in the loss of vehicle con-

trol leading to severe injury or

death. This risk is much higher

on hot days and when driving

for long periods at high speeds.

G200200AFD-EA

Recommended cold tyre inflation

pressures

OHD086003R

All specifications (sizes and pres-

sures) can be found on a label

attached to the vehicle.

All tyre pressures (including the

spare) should be checked when the

tyres are cold. “Cold Tyres” means

the vehicle has not been driven for at

least three hours or driven less than

1.6 km (one mile).

Recommended pressures must be

maintained for the best ride, top vehi-

cle handling, and minimum tyre

wear.

For recommended inflation pressure

refer to “Tyre and wheels” in section

9.

7 43

Maintenance

CAUTION

CAUTION - Tyre pressure

Always observe the following:

• Check tyre pressure when the

tyres 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 tyre each time you

check the pressure of other

tyres.

• Underinflation also results in

excessive wear, poor handling

and reduced fuel economy.

Wheel deformation also is

possible. Keep your tyre pres-

sures at the proper levels. If a

tyre frequently needs refilling,

have it checked by an autho-

rised HYUNDAI dealer.

• Warm tyres normally exceed

recommended cold tyre pres-

sures by 28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6

psi). Do not release air from

warm tyres to adjust the pres-

sure or the tyres will be under-

inflated.

• Be sure to reinstall the tyre

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 centre of the tyre tread,

and a greater possibility of

damage from road hazards.

• Never overload your vehicle.

Be careful not to overload a

vehicle luggage rack if your

vehicle is equipped with one.

• Worn, old tyres can cause

accidents. If your tread is

badly worn, or if your tyres

have been damaged, replace

them.

WARNING - Tyre inflation

Overinflation or underinflation

can reduce tyre life, adversely

affect vehicle handling, and

lead to sudden tyre failure. This

could result in loss of vehicle

control and potential injury.

7 44

Maintenance

G200300AUN-EA

Remove the valve cap from the tyre

valve stem. Press the tyre gauge

firmly onto the valve to get a pres-

sure measurement. If the cold tyre

inflation pressure matches the rec-

ommended pressure on the tyre and

loading information label, no further

adjustment is necessary. If the pres-

sure is low, add air until you reach

the recommended amount.

Checking tyre inflation pressure

Check your tyres once a month or

more.

Also, check the tyre pressure of the

spare tyre.

WARNING

• Inspect your tyres frequently

for proper inflation as well as

wear and damage. Always use

a tyre pressure gauge.

• Tyres with too much or too lit-

tle pressure wear unevenly

causing poor handling, loss of

vehicle control, and sudden

tyre failure leading to acci-

dents, injuries, and even death.

The recommended cold tyre

pressure for your vehicle can

be found in this manual and on

the tyre label located on the

driver's side centre pillar.

G200301AFD-EA

How to check

Use a good quality gauge to check

tyre pressures.You can not tell if your

tyres are properly inflated simply by

looking at them. Radial tyres may

look properly inflated even when

they're underinflated.

Check the tyre's inflation pressure

when the tyres are cold. - "Cold"

means your vehicle has been sitting

for at least three hours or driven no

more than 1.6 km (1 mile).

If you overfill the tyre, release air by

pushing on the metal stem in the

centre of the tyre valve. Recheck the

tyre pressure with the tyre gauge. Be

sure to put the valve caps back on

the valve stems. They help prevent

leaks by keeping out dirt and mois-

ture.

• Worn tyres can cause acci-

dents. Replace tyres that are

worn, show uneven wear, or

are damaged.

• Remember to check the pres-

sure of your spare tyre.

HYUNDAI recommends that

you check the spare every

time you check the pressure

of the other tyres on your

vehicle.

Tyre rotation

To equalize tread wear, it is recom-

mended that the tyres be rotated

every 12,000 km (7,500 miles) or

sooner if irregular wear develops.

During rotation, check the tyres for

correct balance.

✽

NOTICE

Rotate radial tyres that have an

asymmetric tread pattern only from

front to rear and not from right to

left.

S2BLA790

CBGQ0707A

When rotating tyres, check for

uneven wear and damage. Abnormal

wear is usually caused by incorrect

tyre pressure, improper wheel align-

ment, out-of-balance wheels, severe

braking or severe cornering. Look for

bumps or bulges in the tread or side

of tyre. Replace the tyre if you find

either of these conditions. Replace

WARNING

• Do not use the compact spare

tyre for tyre rotation.

• Do not mix bias ply and radial

ply tyres under any circum-

stances. This may cause

unusual handling characteris-

tics that could result in death,

severe injury, or property

damage.

Tread wear indicator

Wheel alignment and tyre balance

WARNING - Replacing

tyres

The wheels on your vehicle were

aligned and balanced carefully at the

factory to give you the longest tyre

life and best overall performance.

In most cases, you will not need to

have your wheels aligned again.

However, if you notice unusual tyre

wear or your vehicle pulling one way

or the other, the alignment may need

to be reset.

• Driving on worn-out tyres is

very hazardous and will

reduce braking effectiveness,

steering accuracy, and trac-

tion.

• Your vehicle is equipped with

tyres designed to provide for

safe ride and handling capa-

bility. Do not use a size and

type of tyre and wheel that is

different from the one that is

originally installed on your

vehicle. It can affect the safety

and performance of your vehi-

cle, which could lead to han-

dling failure or rollover and

serious injury.When replacing

the tyres, be sure to equip all

four tyres with the tyre and

wheel of the same size, type,

tread, brand and load-carrying

capacity.

1LDA5026

G200600BFD-EA

If you notice your vehicle vibrating

when driving on a smooth road, your

wheels may need to be rebalanced.

Tyre replacement

If the tyre 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 tyre. Replace the

tyre when this happens.

Do not wait for the band to appear

across the entire tread before replac-

ing the tyre.

CAUTION

Improper wheel weights can

damage your vehicle's alumini-

um wheels. Use only approved

wheel weights.

Wheel replacement

• The use of any other tyre size

or type may seriously affect

ride, handling, ground clear-

ance, stopping distance, body

to tyre clearance, snow tyre

clearance, and speedometer

reliability.

• It is best to replace all four

tyres at the same time. If that

is not possible, or necessary,

then replace the two front or

two rear tyres as a pair.

Replacing just one tyre can

seriously affect your vehicle’s

handling.

• The ABS works by comparing

the speed of the wheels. Tyre

size can affect wheel speed.

When replacing tyres, all 4

tyres must use the same size

originally supplied with the

vehicle. Using tyres of a dif-

ferent size can cause the ABS

(Anti-lock Brake System) and

ESP (Electronic Stability

Program) (if equipped) to

work irregularly.

When replacing the metal wheels for

any reason, make sure the new

wheels are equivalent to the original

factory units in diameter, rim width

and offset.

A compact spare tyre has a shorter

tread life than a regular size tyre.

Replace it when you can see the

tread wear indicator bars on the tyre.

The replacement compact spare tyre

should be the same size and design

tyre as the one provided with your

new vehicle and should be mounted

on the same compact spare tyre

wheel. The compact spare tyre is not

designed to be mounted on a regular

size wheel, and the compact spare

tyre wheel is not designed for mount-

ing a regular size tyre.

WARNING

A wheel that is not the correct

size may adversely affect wheel

and bearing life, braking and

stopping abilities, handling

characteristics, ground clear-

ance, body-to-tyre clearance,

A tyre’s sidewall is marked with a tyre

size designation. You will need this

information when selecting replace-

ment tyres for your car. The following

explains what the letters and num-

bers in the tyre size designation

mean.

Tyre traction can be reduced if you

drive on worn tyres, tyres that are

improperly inflated or on slippery

road surfaces. Tyres should be

replaced when tread wear indicators

appear. To reduce the possibility of

losing control, slow down whenever

there is rain, snow or ice on the road.

In addition to proper inflation, correct

wheel alignment helps to decrease

tyre wear. If you find a tyre is worn

unevenly, have your dealer check the

wheel alignment.

When you have new tyres installed,

make sure they are balanced. This

will increase vehicle ride comfort and

tyre life. Additionally, a tyre should

always be rebalanced if it is removed

from the wheel.

Tread wear

5. Maximum permissible inflation

pressure

WARNING - Tyre age

The tread wear grade is a compara-

tive rating based on the wear rate of

the tyre when tested under controlled

conditions on a specified govern-

ment test course. For example, a tyre

graded 150 would wear one-and-a-

half times (1½) as well on the gov-

ernment course as a tyre graded

100.

The relative performance of tyres

depends upon the actual conditions

of their use, however, and may

depart significantly from the norm

because of variations in driving

habits, service practices and differ-

ences in road characteristics and cli-

mate.

Tyres degrade over time, even

when they are not being used.

Regardless of the remaining

tread, it is recommended that

tyres generally be replaced

after six (6) years of normal

service. Heat caused by not cli-

mates or frequent high loading

conditions can accelerate the

aging process. Failure to follow

this Warning can result in sud-

den tyre failure, which could

lead to a loss of control and an

accident involving serious

injury or death.

This number is the greatest amount

of air pressure that should be put in

the tyre. Do not exceed the maximum

permissible inflation pressure. Refer

to the Tyre and Loading Information

label for recommended inflation

pressure.

G201006AUN-EA

6. Maximum load rating

This number indicates the maximum

load in kilograms and pounds that

can be carried by the tyre. When

replacing the tyres on the vehicle,

always use a tyre that has the same

load rating as the factory installed

tyre.

These grades are moulded on the

side-walls of passenger vehicle

tyres.The tyres available as standard

or optional equipment on your vehi-

cles may vary with respect to grade.

NOTICE

CAUTION

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 similar

to the condensation on your windows

inside your vehicle during the rain and

doesn’t indicate a problem with your

vehicle. If the water leaks into the lamp

bulb circuitry, have the vehicle checked

by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

If you don’t have necessary tools,

the correct bulbs and the expertise,

consult an authorised HYUNDAI

dealer. In many cases, 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 if you have to remove the head-

light assembly to get to the bulb(s).

Removing/installing the headlight

assembly can result in damage to

the vehicle.

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.

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.

• Be careful when washing the side

windows of your vehicle.

Especially, with high-pressure

water. Water may leak through the

windows and wet the interior.

• To prevent damage to the plastic

parts, do not clean with chemical

solvents or strong detergents.

OJB037800

CAUTION

• 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.

• Never allow water or other liquids

to come in contact with electri-

cal/electronic components inside

the vehicle as this may damage

them.

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.

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.

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 high alkaline or caus-

tic agents on chrome-plated or

anodized aluminium parts. This

may result in damage to the pro-

tective coating and cause discol-

oration or paint deterioration.

Underbody maintenance

Aluminium wheel maintenance

The aluminium wheels are coated with a

clear protective finish.

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 doors, rocker panels, and

frame members have drain holes that

should not be allowed to clog with dirt;

trapped water in these areas can cause

rusting.

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 abrasive cleaner, pol-

ishing compound, solvent, or wire

brushes on aluminium 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.

• Do not use any cleaners containing

acid or acid detergents. It may damage

and corrode the aluminium 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 car surfaces by mois-

ture that is slow to evaporate.

By using the most advanced design and

construction practices to combat corro-

sion, HYUNDAI produces cars of the

highest quality. However, this is only part

of the job. To achieve the long-term cor-

rosion resistance your vehicle can deliv-

er, the owner's cooperation and assis-

tance is also required.

Mud is particularly corrosive because it is

slow to dry and holds moisture in contact

with the vehicle. Although the mud

appears to be dry, it can still retain the

moisture and promote corrosion.

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 car 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 car.

Common causes of corrosion

The most common causes of corrosion

on your car are:

• 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.

7 71

Maintenance

To help prevent corrosion

You can help prevent corrosion from get-

ting started by observing the following:

• When cleaning underneath the car,

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 car clean

The best way to prevent corrosion is to

keep your car clean and free of corrosive

materials. Attention to the underside of

the car is particularly important.

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 car 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 to cause corrosion. Check

under the mats periodically to be sure

the carpeting is dry. Use particular care if

you carry fertilisers, cleaning materials or

chemicals in the car.

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 car in a damp, poorly

ventilated garage. This creates a favor-

able environment for corrosion. This is

particularly true if you wash your car 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.

Caution for the Inspection and

Maintenance Test (With Electronic

Stability Program (ESP) system)

• To prevent the vehicle from misfir-

ing during dynamometer testing,

turn the Electronic Stability

Program (ESP) system off by press-

ing the ESP switch.

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 Australian

Design Rules (ADR) requirements.

2. Evaporative emission control

System

The Evaporative Emission Control

System is designed to prevent fuel

vapours from escaping into the atmos-

phere.

• After dynamometer testing is com-

pleted, turn the ESP system back on

by pressing the ESP switch again.

G270201AUN-EA

There are three emission control sys-

tems which are as follows.

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.

(1) Crankcase emission control system

(2) Evaporative emission control system

(3) Exhaust emission control system

G270100AUN

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.

In order to assure the proper function of

the emission control systems, it is rec-

ommended that you have your car

inspected and maintained by an autho-

rised HYUNDAI dealer in accordance

with the maintenance schedule in this

manual.

G270202AUN

Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)

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.

WARNING - Exhaust

Engine exhaust gases contain car-

bon monoxide (CO). Though

colourless and odourless, it is dan-

gerous and could be lethal if

inhaled. Follow the instructions

following to avoid CO poisoning.

WARNING - Fire

A hot exhaust system can ignite

Vehicle modifications

• 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.

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.

Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic

converter emission control device.

Therefore, the following precautions

must be observed:

• Use only UNLEADED FUEL for petrol

engine.

• Do not operate the vehicle when there

are signs of engine malfunction, such

as misfire or a noticeable loss of per-

formance.

G270302AUN-EA

Engine exhaust gas precautions (car-

bon 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 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.

• 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.

7 75

Maintenance

• 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. All inspections and adjustments

must be made by an authorised

HYUNDAI dealer.

• Avoid driving with a very low fuel level.

If you run out of petrol, it could cause

the engine to misfire and result in

excessive loading of the catalytic con-

verter.

Failure to observe these precautions

could result in damage to the catalytic

converter and to your vehicle.

Additionally, such actions could void your

warranty.

Diesel Particulate Filter (if equipped)

If the malfunction indicator light contin-

ues to be blinked in spite of the proce-

dure, please visit an authorised

HYUNDAI dealer and then check the

DPF system.

If you continue to drive with the malfunc-

tion indicator light blinking for a long

time, the DPF system can be damaged

and fuel consumption can be worsen.

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) sys-

tem removes the soot emitted from the

vehicle.

Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF

system automatically burns (oxidizes)

and removes the accumulated soot

according to the driving condition. In

other words, the active burning by engine

control system and high exhaust gas

temperature caused by normal/high driv-

ing condition burns and removes the

accumulated soot.

However, if the vehicle continues to be

driven at low speed for long time, the

accumulated soot may not be automati-

cally removed because of low exhaust

gas temperature. In this particular case,

the amount of soot is out of detection

limit, the soot oxidation process by

engine control system may not happen

and the malfunction indicator light may

blink.

CAUTION - Diesel Fuel

(if equipped with DPF)

It is recommended to use the regu-

lated automotive diesel fuel for

diesel vehicle equipped with the

DPF system.

If you use diesel fuel including high

sulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur)

and unspecified additives, it can

cause the DPF system to be dam-

aged and white smoke can be emit-

ted.

When the malfunction indicator light

blinks, it may stop blinking by driving the

vehicle at more than 60km/h (37 mph) or

at more than second gear with 1500 ~

2000 engine rpm for a certain time (for

about 25 minutes).
