tions

Improper or incomplete service may

result in problems. This section gives

instructions only for the maintenance

items that are easy to perform.

✽

NOTICE

Maintenance Service and Record

Retention are the owner's responsi-

bility.

Inadequate, incomplete or insuffi-

cient servicing may result in opera-

tional problems with your vehicle that

could lead to vehicle damage, an

accident, or personal injury.

✽

NOTICE

We recommend in general that you

have your vehicle serviced by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Improper owner maintenance dur-

ing the warranty period may affect

warranty coverage. For details, read

the separate Service Passport pro-

vided with the vehicle. If you're

unsure about any servicing or main-

tenance procedure, we recommend

that the system be serviced by an

authorized HYUNDAIdealer.

You should retain documents that

show proper maintenance has been

performed on your vehicle in accor-

dance with the scheduled mainte-

nance service charts shown on the

following pages. You need this infor-

mation to establish your compliance

with the servicing and maintenance

requirements of your vehicle war-

ranties.

Detailed warranty information is pro-

vided in your Service Passport.

Repairs and adjustments required as

a result of improper maintenance or

a lack of required maintenance are

not covered when your vehicle is

covered by warranty.

Maintenance

(Continued)

CAUTION

WARNING

These can become entangled

in moving parts and result in

injury. Therefore, if you must

run the engine while working

under the hood, make certain

that you remove all jewelry

(especially rings, bracelets,

watches, and necklaces) and

all neckties, scarves, and sim-

ilar loose clothing before get-

ting near the engine or cool-

ing fans.

Maintenance work

• Do not put heavy objects or

apply excessive force on top

of the engine cover (if

equipped) or fuel related

parts.

• Performing maintenance work

on a vehicle can be danger-

ous. You can be seriously

injured while performing

some maintenance proce-

dures. If you lack sufficient

knowledge and experience or

the proper tools and equip-

ment to do the work, we rec-

ommend that the system be

serviced by an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer.

• When you inspect the fuel

system (fuel lines and fuel

injection devices), we recom-

mend that you contact an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

• Do not drive long time with

the engine cover (if equipped)

removed.

• Working under the hood with

the engine running is danger-

ous. It becomes even more

dangerous when you wear

jewelry or loose clothing.

• When checking the engine

room, do not go near fire.

Fuel, washer fluid, etc. are

flammable oils that may cause

fire.

(Continued)

• Before touching the battery,

ignition cables and electrical

wiring, you should disconnect

the battery "-" terminal. You

may get an electric shock

from the electric current.

Engine compartment precau-

tions (Diesel engine)

(Continued)

WARNING

• When you remove the interior

trim cover with a flat head (-)

driver, be careful not to dam-

age the cover.

• The piezo injector operates at high

voltage

Diesel Engine

(maximum

200v).

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 subject to high pres-

sure even after the engine

stopped. The fuel jet produced

by fuel leaks may cause serious

injury, if it touches the body.

Therefore, the following accidents

may occur.

• Be careful when you replace

and clean bulbs to avoid

burns or electrical shock.

- Direct contact with the injector or

injector wiring may cause electric

shock or damage your muscle or

nerve system.

- The electromagnetic wave from

the operating injector may cause

the artificial heart pacemaker to

malfunction.

People

using

pacemakers

should not move than 30cm

closer to the ECU or wiring har-

ness within the engine room

while engine is running, since

the high currents in the elec-

tronic engine control system

produce considerable magnetic

fields.

• Follow the safety tips provided

below, when you are checking the

engine room while the engine is

running.

- Do not touch the injector, injector

wirings, and the engine computer

while the engine is running.

7

- Do not remove the injector con-

nector while the engine is run-

ning.

- People using pacemakers must

not go near the engine while the

engine is starting or running.

Maintenance

OWNER MAINTENANCE

The following lists are vehicle checks

and inspections that should be per-

formed at the frequencies indicated

to help ensure safe, dependable

operation of your vehicle.

While operating your vehicle:

Owner maintenance schedule

• Note any changes in the sound of

the exhaust or any smell of

exhaust fumes in the vehicle.

When you stop for fuel:

• Check the engine oil level.

• Check coolant level in coolant

reservoir.

• Check for vibrations in the steering

wheel. Notice any increased steer-

ing effort or looseness in the steer-

ing wheel, or change in its straight-

ahead position.

If you have any question, we recom-

mend that you consult an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer.

• Check the windshield washer fluid

level.

These Owner Maintenance Checks

are generally not covered by war-

ranties and you may be charged for

labor, parts and lubricants used.

• Look for low or under-inflated tires.

• Notice if your vehicle constantly

turns slightly or “pulls” to one side

when traveling on smooth, level

road.

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.

• When stopping, listen and check

for unusual sounds, pulling to one

side, increased brake pedal travel

or “hard-to-push” brake pedal.

• If any slipping or changes in the

operation of your transaxle occurs,

check the transaxle fluid level.

• Check manual transaxle operation,

including clutch operation.

• Check automatic transaxle

(Park) function.

P

7-8

• Check parking brake.

At least twice a year

(i.e., every Spring and Fall) :

At least once a year :

• Check for fluid leaks under your

vehicle (water dripping from the air

conditioning system during or after

use is normal).

• Clean body and door drain holes.

• Check radiator, heater and air con-

ditioning hoses for leaks or dam-

age.

• Lubricate door hinges and checks,

and hood hinges.

• Lubricate door and hood locks and

latches.

• Check windshield washer spray

and wiper operation. Clean wiper

blades with clean cloth dampened

with washer fluid.

At least monthly:

• Lubricate door rubber weather-

strips.

• Check coolant level in the engine

coolant reservoir.

• Check the air conditioning system.

• Check headlight alignment.

• Check the operation of all exterior

lights, including the stoplights, turn

signals and hazard warning flash-

ers.

• Check the power steering fluid

level.

• Check muffler, exhaust pipes,

shields and clamps.

• Inspect and lubricate automatic

transaxle linkage and controls.

• Check the lap/shoulder belts for

wear and function.

• Check the inflation pressures of all

tires including the spare.

• Clean battery and terminals.

• Check for worn tires and loose

wheel lug nuts.

• Check the brake (and clutch) fluid

level.

ENGINE COOLANT

The high-pressure cooling system

has a reservoir filled with year-round

antifreeze coolant. The reservoir is

filled at the factory.

Checking the coolant level

WARNING

(Continued)

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.

Check the antifreeze protection and

coolant concentration level at least

once a year, at the beginning of the

winter season, and before traveling

to a colder climate.

Removing radiator

cap

• Even if the engine is not oper-

ating, do not remove the radi-

ator 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.

• Never attempt to remove the

radiator cap while the engine

is operating or hot. Doing so

might lead to cooling system

and engine damage and could

result in serious personal

injury from escaping hot

coolant or steam.

CAUTION

• When the engine overheats

from low engine coolant, sud-

denly adding engine coolant

may cause cracks in the

engine. To prevent damage,

add engine coolant slowly in

small quantities.

• 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.

• Do not drive with no engine

coolant. It may cause water

pump failure and engine

seizure, etc.

Recommended engine coolant

WARNING

• When adding coolant, use only

deionized water or soft water for

your vehicle and never mix hard

water in the coolant filled at the fac-

tory. An improper coolant mixture

can result in serious malfunction or

engine damage.

The electric motor

(cooling fan) is con-

trolled by engine

coolant temperature,

refrigerant pressure

and vehicle speed. It may some-

times operate even when the

engine is not running. Use

extreme caution when working

near the blades of the cooling

fan so that you are not injured

by a rotating fan blades. As the

engine coolant temperature

decreases, the electric motor

will automatically shut off. This

is a normal condition.

• The engine in your vehicle has alu-

minum engine parts and must be

protected by an ethylene-glycol-

based coolant to prevent corrosion

and freezing.

OLMB073005

Check the condition and connections

of all cooling system hoses and

heater hoses. Replace any swollen

or deteriorated hoses.

• DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol

coolant or mix them with the spec-

ified coolant.

The coolant level should be filled

between F (MAX) and L (MIN) marks

on the side of the coolant reservoir

when the engine is cool.

• Do not use a solution that contains

more than 60% antifreeze or less

than 35% antifreeze, which would

reduce the effectiveness of the

solution.

The electric motor (cooling fan)

may operate until you discon-

nect the negative battery cable.

If the coolant level is low, add enough

distilled (deionized) or soft water.

Bring the level to F (MAX), but do not

overfill.

TIRES AND WHEELS

Tire care

WARNING

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.

Tire underinflation

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 infla-

tion pressures

OLMB073063

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 (1 mile).

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.

7

For recommended inflation pressure

refer to “Tire and wheels” in section

8.

7-51

Maintenance

CAUTION

Tire pressure

• 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.

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 (1

mile) since startup.)

• 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.

• Check the pressure of your

spare tire each time you check

the pressure of other tires.

• Overinflation produces

a

harsh ride, excessive wear at

the center of the tire 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.

WARNING

• Worn, old tires can cause

accidents. If your tread is

badly worn, or if your tires

have been damaged, replace

them.

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.

7-52

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.

Checking tire inflation pres-

sure

WARNING

Check your tires once a month or

more.

• Inspect your tires frequently

for proper inflation as well as

wear and damage. Always use

a tire pressure gauge.

Also, check the tire pressure of the

spare tire.

• 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.

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.

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.

7

• 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.

7-53

Maintenance

With a full-size spare tire (if equipped)

Disc brake pads should be inspected

for wear whenever tires are rotated.

Tire rotation

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.

✽

NOTICE

Rotate radial tires that have an

asymmetric tread pattern only from

front to rear and not from right to

left.

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.

The wheels on your vehicle were

aligned and balanced carefully at the

factory to give you the longest tire life

and best overall performance.

When replacing the tires,

recheck and tighten the wheel

nuts after driving about 1,000

km (620 miles). If the steering

wheel shakes or the vehicle

vibrates while driving, the tire is

out of balance. Align the tire

balance. If the problem is not

solved, we recommend that you

contact an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer.

In most cases, you will not need to

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.

OLMB073027

If you notice your vehicle vibrating

when driving on a smooth road, your

wheels may need to be rebalanced.

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 in.) of tread

left on the tire. Replace the tire when

this happens.

CAUTION

Improper wheel weights can

damage your vehicle's alu-

minum wheels. Use only

approved wheel weights.

WARNING

• The use of any other tire size

or type may seriously affect

ride, handling, ground clear-

ance, stopping distance, body

to tire clearance, snow tire

clearance, and speedometer

reliability.

A compact spare tire has a shorter

tread life than a regular size tire.

Replace it when you can see the

tread wear indicator bars on the tire.

The replacement compact spare tire

should be the same size and design

tire as the one provided with your

new vehicle and should be mounted

on the same compact spare tire

wheel. The compact spare tire is not

designed to be mounted on a regular

size wheel, and the compact spare

tire wheel is not designed for mount-

ing a regular size tire.

Replacing tires

• Driving on worn-out tires is

very hazardous and will

reduce braking effectiveness,

steering accuracy, and trac-

tion.

• It is best to replace all four

tires at the same time. If that

is not possible, or necessary,

then replace the two front or

two rear tires as a pair.

Replacing just one tire can

seriously affect your vehicle’s

handling.

• Your vehicle is equipped with

tires designed to provide for

safe ride and handling capa-

bility. Do not use a size and

type of tire 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 tires, be sure to equip all

four tires with the tire and

wheel of the same size, type,

tread, brand and load-carrying

capacity.

• The ABS works by comparing

the speed of the wheels. Tire

size can affect wheel speed.

When replacing tires, all 4

tires must use the same size

originally supplied with the

vehicle. Using tires of a differ-

ent size can cause the ABS

(Anti-lock Brake System) and

ESC (Electronic Stability

Control) (if equipped) to work

irregularly.

Tire age

Any tires that are over 6 years old,

based on the manufacturing date,

tire strength and performance,

decline with age naturally (even

unused spare tires). Therefore, the

tires (including the spare tire) should

be replaced by new ones. You can

find the manufacturing date on the

tire sidewall (possibly on the inside of

the wheel), displaying the DOT

Code. The DOT Code is a series of

numbers on a tire consisting of num-

bers and English letters. The manu-

facturing date is designated by the

last four digits (characters) of the

DOT code.

Tires degrade over time, even

when they are not being used.

Regardless of the remaining

tread, it is recommended that

tires generally be replaced after

six (6) years of normal service.

Heat caused by hot climates or

frequent high loading condi-

tions can accelerate the aging

process. Failure to follow this

graded 150 would wear one-and-a-

half times (1½) as well on the gov-

ernment course as a tire graded 100.

This number indicates the maximum

load in kilograms and pounds that

can be carried by the tire. When

replacing the tires on the vehicle,

always use a tire that has the same

load rating as the factory installed

tire.

The number of layers or plies of rub-

ber-coated fabric are in the tire. Tire

manufacturers also must indicate the

materials in the tire, which include

steel, nylon, polyester, and others.

The letter "R" means radial ply con-

Low aspect ratio tire

(if equipped)

CAUTION

Low aspect ratio tires, whose aspect

ratio is lower than 50, are provided

for sporty looks.

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.

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.

- 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.

• 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.

- When passing over a pothole,

speed bump, manhole, or curb

stone, drive slowly so that the

tires and wheels are not dam-

aged.

• 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.

Working on the lights

If you don’t have necessary

tools, the correct bulbs and the

expertise, consult an authorized

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 headlight

assembly to get to the bulb(s).

Prior to working on the light,

firmly apply the parking brake,

ensure that the ignition switch

is turned to the“LOCK”position

and turn off the lights to avoid

sudden movement of the vehi-

cle and burning your fingers or

receiving an electric shock.

CAUTION

Washing

Exterior general caution

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

driving, 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.

Even prompt washing with plain

water may not completely remove all

these deposits.

• 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.

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.

• Be careful when washing the

side windows of your vehicle.

Especially, with high-pressure

water, water may leak through

the windows and wet the inte-

rior.

• To prevent damage to the

plastic parts and lamps, do

not clean with chemical sol-

vents or strong detergents.

7

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 fin-

ish.

Maintenance

Waxing

WARNING

Wax the vehicle when water will no

longer bead on the paint.

Wet brakes

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 main-

tain its luster. Removing oil, tar, and

similar materials with a spot remover

will usually strip the wax from the fin-

ish. Be sure to re-wax these areas

even if the rest of the vehicle does

not yet need waxing.

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 forward

speed.

OLMB073082

CAUTION

• Water washing in the engine

compartment including high

pressure water washing may

cause the failure of electrical

circuits located in the engine

compartment.

• Wiping dust or dirt off the

body with a dry cloth will

scratch the finish.

• Do not use steel wool, abra-

sive cleaners, or strong deter-

gents containing highly alka-

line or caustic agents on

chrome-plated or anodized

aluminum parts. This may

result in damage to the pro-

tective coating and cause dis-

coloration or paint deteriora-

tion.

• Never allow water or other liq-

uids to come in contact with

nents inside the vehicle as

this may damage them.

If you live in an area where your car

is regularly exposed to corrosive

materials, corrosion protection is

particularly important. Some of the

common causes of accelerated cor-

rosion are road salts, dust control

chemicals, ocean air and industrial

pollution.

The best way to prevent corrosion is

properly ventilated so the moisture

can be dispersed. For all these rea-

sons, it is particularly important to

keep your car clean and free of mud

This applies not only to the visible

surfaces but particularly to the

to keep your car clean and free of

corrosive materials. Attention to the

underside of the car is particularly

important.

• 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.

Moisture breeds corrosion

To help prevent corrosion

Moisture creates the conditions in

which corrosion is most likely to

occur. For example, corrosion is

accelerated by high humidity, partic-

ularly when temperatures are just

above freezing. In such conditions,

the corrosive material is kept in con-

tact with the car surfaces by moisture

that is slow to evaporate.

You can help prevent corrosion from

getting started by observing the fol-

lowing:

• When cleaning underneath the car,

give particular attention to the

components under the fenders and

other areas that are hidden from

view. Do a thorough job; just damp-

ening the accumulated mud rather

than washing it away will acceler-

ate corrosion rather than prevent

it. Water under high pressure and

steam are particularly effective in

removing accumulated mud and

corrosive materials.

7

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.

The positive crankcase ventilation

system 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

authorized HYUNDAI dealer in

accordance with the maintenance

schedule in this manual.

The purge control solenoid valve is

controlled by the Engine Control

Module (ECM); when the engine

coolant temperature is low during

idling, the PCSV closes so that evap-

orated fuel is not taken into the

engine. After the engine warms-up

• Carbon monoxide can be present

with other exhaust fumes.

Therefore, if you smell exhaust

fumes of any kind inside your vehi-

cle, have it inspected and repaired

immediately. If you ever suspect

exhaust fumes are coming into

your vehicle, drive it only with all

the windows fully open. Have your

vehicle checked and repaired

immediately.

The Exhaust Emission Control

System is a highly effective system

which controls exhaust emissions

while maintaining good vehicle per-

formance.

• 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.

Vehicle modifications

This vehicle should not be modified.

Modification of your vehicle could

affect its performance, safety or

durability and may even violate gov-

ernmental safety and emissions reg-

ulations.

• Never sit in a parked or stopped

vehicle for any extended time with

the engine running.

WARNING

• When the engine stalls or fails to

start, excessive attempts to restart

the engine may cause damage to

Therefore, the following precautions

must be observed:

WARNING

Fire

• Use only UNLEADED FUEL for

gasoline engine.

• A hot exhaust system can

ignite flammable items under

your vehicle. Do not park,

idle, or drive the vehicle over

or near flammable objects,

such as dry grass, paper,

leaves, etc.

• Do not operate the vehicle when

there are signs of engine malfunc-

tion, such as misfire or a noticeable

loss of performance.

• 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.

• The exhaust system and cat-

alytic system are very hot

while the engine is running or

immediately after the engine

is turned off. Keep away from

the exhaust system and cat-

alytic, you may get burned.

• 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 con-

trol system. All inspections and

adjustments must be made by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

7

Also, do not remove the heat

sink around the exhaust sys-

tem, do not seal the bottom of

the vehicle or do not coat the

vehicle for corrosion control.

It may present a fire risk under

certain conditions.

• Avoid driving with a very low fuel

level. If you run out of gasoline, it

could cause the engine to misfire

and result in excessive loading of

the catalytic converter.

7-99

Maintenance

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).

Diesel Particulate Filter

(if equipped)

CAUTION

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)

system removes the soot emitted

from the vehicle.

Diesel Fuel

(if equipped with DPF)

It is recommended to use the

regulated automotive diesel

fuel for diesel vehicle equipped

with the DPF system.

Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF

system automatically burns (oxi-

dizes) and removes the accumulated

soot according to the driving condi-

tion. In other words, the active burn-

ing by engine control system and

high exhaust gas temperature

caused by normal/high driving condi-

tion burns and removes the accumu-

lated soot.

If the malfunction indicator light con-

tinues to be blinked in spite of the

procedure, please visit an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer and then check the

DPF system.

If you use diesel fuel including

high sulfur (more than 50 ppm

sulfur) and unspecified addi-

tives, it can cause the DPF sys-

tem to be damaged and white

smoke can be emitted.

If you continue to drive with the mal-

function indicator light blinking for a

long time, the DPF system can be

damaged and fuel consumption can

be worsen.

However, if the vehicle continues to

be driven at low speed for long time,

the accumulated soot may not be

automatically removed because of

low exhaust gas temperature. In this

particular case, the amount of soot is

out of detection limit, the soot oxida-

tion process by engine control sys-

tem may not happen and the mal-

function indicator light may blink.
