MAINTENANCE SERVICES  
You should exercise the utmost care  
to prevent damage to your vehicle  
and injury to yourself whenever per-  
forming any maintenance or inspec-  
tion procedures.  
Owner’s responsibility  
Owner maintenance precau-  
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.  
7
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.  
7-5  
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.  
(Continued)  
7-6  
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.

fuel tank, the filter may require  
replacement more frequently.  
Drive belts  
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 authorized HYUNDAI  
dealer.  
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of  
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil  
saturation and replace if necessary.  
Drive belts should be checked peri-  
odically for proper tension and  
adjusted as necessary.  
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  
Common Rail system produce  
considerable magnetic fields.

WARNING  
Used engine oil may cause irri-  
tation 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 lab-  
oratory animals. Always protect  
your skin by washing your  
hands thoroughly with soap  
and warm water as soon as pos-  
sible after handling used oil.  
We recommend that the engine oil  
and filter be replaced by an author-  
ized HYUNDAI dealer.

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.

Maintenance  
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.  
If frequent additions are required, we  
recommend that the system be  
inspected by  
HYUNDAI dealer.

BRAKE/CLUTCH FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)  
Before removing the reservoir cap Never mix different types of fluid.  
Checking the brake/clutch  
fluid level  
and adding brake/clutch fluid, clean  
the area around the reservoir cap  
thoroughly to prevent brake/clutch  
fluid contamination.  
WARNING  
Loss of brake/clutch fluid  
If the level is low, add fluid to the  
MAX level. The level will fall with  
accumulated mileage. This is a nor-  
mal condition associated with the  
wear of the brake linings. If the fluid  
level is excessively low, we recom-  
mend that the system be checked by  
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.  
In the event the brake/clutch  
system requires frequent addi-  
tions of fluid, we recommend  
that the system be inspected by  
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING  
CAUTION  
Do not allow brake/clutch fluid  
to contact the vehicle's body  
paint, as paint damage will  
result. Brake/clutch fluid, which  
has been exposed to open air  
for an extended time should  
never be used as its quality can-  
not be guaranteed. It should be  
disposed of properly. Don't put  
in the wrong kind of fluid.  
Brake/clutch fluid  
When changing and adding  
brake/clutch fluid, handle it  
carefully. Do not let it come in  
contact with your eyes. If brake/  
clutch fluid should come in con-  
tact 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.  
A few drops of mineral-based  
oil, such as engine oil, in your  
brake/clutch system can dam-  
age brake/clutch system parts.

POWER STEERING FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)  
Checking the power steering  
fluid level  
NOTICE  
(Continued)  
Check that the fluid level is in the  
"HOT" range on the reservoir. If  
the fluid is cold, check that it is in  
the "COLD" range.  
Too little fluid can result in  
increased steering effort  
and/or noise from the power  
steering system.  
The use of the non-specified  
fluid could reduce the effec-  
tiveness of the power steering  
system and cause damage to  
it.  
In the event the power steering sys-  
tem requires frequent additions of  
fluid, we recommend that the system  
be inspected by an authorized  
HYUNDAI dealer.  
CAUTION  
Use only the specified power steer-  
ing fluid. (Refer to "Recommended  
lubricants or capacities" in section  
8.)  
OLMB073067  
To avoid damage to the power  
steering pump, do not operate  
the vehicle for prolonged peri-  
ods with a low power steering  
fluid level.  
With the vehicle on level ground,  
check the fluid level in the power  
steering reservoir periodically. The  
fluid should be between MAX and  
MIN marks on the side of the reser-  
voir at the normal temperature.  
Checking the power steering  
hose  
Never start the engine when  
the reservoir tank is empty.  
Check the connections for oil leaks,  
damage and twists in the power  
steering hose before driving.  
Before adding power steering fluid,  
thoroughly clean the area around the  
reservoir cap to prevent power steer-  
ing fluid contamination.  
When adding fluid, be careful  
that dirt does not get into the  
tank.

eign matter can reduce the effective-  
ness of the windshield wipers.  
Blade replacement  
When the wipers no longer clean  
adequately, the blades may be worn  
or cracked, and require replacement.  
Common sources of contamination  
are insects, tree sap, and hot wax  
treatments used by some commer-  
cial car washes. If the blades are not  
wiping properly, clean both the win-  
dow and the blades with a good  
cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse  
thoroughly with clean water.

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  
CAUTION  
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.

Tire replacement  
CAUTION  
Tread wear indicator  
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.

Do not wait for the band to appear  
across the entire tread before replac-  
ing the tire.

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.

3. Checking tire life  
(TIN :Tire Identification

WARNING  
The chart below lists many of the dif-  
ferent speed ratings currently being  
used for passenger car tires. The  
speed rating is part of the tire size  
designation on the sidewall of the  
tire. This symbol corresponds to that  
tire's designed maximum safe oper-  
ating speed.  
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  
Warning can result in sudden  
tire failure, which could lead to  
a loss of control and an acci-  
dent involving serious injury or  
death.

Maintenance  
Tread wear  
4. Tire ply composition and  
material  
6. Maximum load rating  
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.  
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-  
struction; the letter "D" means diago-  
nal or bias ply construction; and the  
letter "B" means belted-bias ply con-  
struction.  
The relative performance of tires  
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.  
7. Uniform tire quality grading  
Quality grades can be found where  
applicable on the tire sidewall  
between tread shoulder and maxi-  
mum section width.  
5. Maximum permissible infla-  
tion pressure  
For example:  
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.

Tire temperature  
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.  
C may have poor traction perform-  
ance.  
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 the  
law.  
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, 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.

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

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.

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  
or accumulations of other materials.  
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.

CAUTION  
Interior general precautions  
Vinyl  
When cleaning leather products  
(steering wheel, seats etc.), use  
neutral detergents or low alco-  
hol content solutions. If you use  
high alcohol content solutions  
or acid/alkaline detergents, the  
color of the leather may fade or  
the surface may get stripped  
off.  
Prevent chemicals such as perfume,  
cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand clean-  
er and air freshener from contacting  
the interior parts because they may  
cause damage or discoloration. If  
they do contact the interior parts,  
wipe them off immediately.  
Remove dust and loose dirt from  
vinyl with a whisk broom or vacuum  
cleaner. Clean vinyl surfaces with a  
vinyl cleaner.  
Fabric  
See the instructions that follow for  
the proper way to clean vinyl.  
Remove dust and loose dirt from fab-

carpets. Remove fresh spots imme-  
diately 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 proper-  
ly maintained.

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-

fined or closed areas (such as  
garages) any more than what is  
necessary to move the vehicle in or  
out of the area.  
Engine exhaust gas precautions  
(carbon monoxide)  
3. Exhaust emission control  
system  
• 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  
the emission control system.  
In addition, damage or performance  
problems resulting from any modifi-  
cation may not be covered under  
warranty.  
Exhaust  
Engine exhaust gases contain  
carbon monoxide (CO). Though  
colorless and odorless, it is  
dangerous and could be lethal if  
inhaled. Follow the instructions  
following to avoid CO poison-  
ing.  
• If you use unauthorized electronic  
devices, it may cause the vehicle to  
operate abnormally, wire damage,  
battery discharge and fire. For your  
safety, do not use unauthorized  
electronic devices.

ic converter and to your vehicle.  
Additionally, such actions could void  
your warranties.  
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.

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.

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.
