Maintenance
Vacuum crankcase ventilation
hoses
Air cleaner filter
Coolant
A Genuine HYUNDAI air cleaner filter is
recommended when the filter is
replaced.
The coolant should be changed at the
intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule.
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.
Manual transaxle fluid
(if equipped)
Spark plugs
Make sure to install new spark plugs of
the correct heat range.
Inspect the manual transaxle fluid
according to the maintenance schedule.
Valve clearance
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.
Automatic transaxle fluid
(if equipped)
Inspect for excessive valve noise and/or
engine vibration and adjust if necessary.
An authorized HYUNDAI dealer should
perform the operation.
Automatic transaxle fluid should not be
checked under normal usage conditions.
But in severe conditions, the fluid should
be changed at an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer in accordance to the scheduled
maintenance at the beginning of this
chapter.
Cooling system
Check for cooling system components,
such as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses
and connections for leakage and dam-
age. Replace any damaged parts.
✽
NOTICE
Automatic transaxle fluid color is basi-
cally red.
As the vehicle is driven, the automatic
transaxle fluid will begin to look darker.
It is normal condition and you should
not judge the need to replace the fluid
based upon the changed color.
