VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

EXPLANATION OF SCHED-

ULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS

F060M01A-AAT

o Engine Oil and Filter

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 frequent oil and filter changes

are required.

F060B01A-AAT

o Drive Belts

Inspect all drive belts for evidence of

cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil

saturation and replace if necessary.

Drive belts should be checked periodi-

cally for proper tension and adjusted

as necessary.

F060C01A-AAT

o Fuel Filter

A clogged filter can limit the speed at

which the vehicle may be driven, dam-

age the emission system and cause

hard starting. If an excessive amount

of foreign matter accumulates in the

fuel tank, the filter may require re-

placement more frequently.

After installing a new filter, run the

engine for several minutes, and check

for leaks at the connections. Fuel fil-

ters should be installed by trained

technicians.

WARNING (Diesel only):

Never work on injection system with

engine running or within 30 sec-

onds after shutting off engine. High

pressure pump, rail, injectors and

high pressure pipes are subject to

high pressure even after the engine

stopped. The fuel jet produced by

fuel leaks may cause serious 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 running, since the

high currents in the Common Rail

system produce considerable mag-

netic fields.

F060D01TB-AAT

o Fuel Lines, Fuel Hoses and

Connections

Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and

connections for leakage and damage.

Have a trained technician replace any

damaged or leaking parts immediately.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

F060H01A-AAT

o Air Cleaner Filter

A Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is

recommended when the filter is re-

placed.

F060J01A-AAT

o Spark Plugs

(For Gasoline Engine)

Make sure to install new spark plugs

of the correct heat range.

F060E01A-AAT

o Timing Belt

Inspect all parts related to the timing

belt for damage and deformation. Re-

place any damaged parts immediately.

F060G01A-AAT

o Vapor Hose and Fuel Filler Cap

The vapor hose and fuel filler cap

should be inspected at those intervals

specified in the maintenance sched-

ule. Make sure that a new vapor hose

or fuel filler cap is correctly replaced.

F060F01A-AAT

o Vacuum, Crankcase

Ventilation Hoses

Inspect the surface of hoses for evi-

dence of heat and/or mechanical dam-

age. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking,

tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessive

swelling indicate deterioration. Particu-

lar 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 mov-

ing component which might cause heat

damage or mechanical wear. Inspect

all hose connections, such as clamps

and couplings, to make sure they are

secure, and that no leaks are present.

Hoses should be replaced immedi-

ately if there is any evidence of dete-

rioration or damage.

F070C01A-AAT

o Coolant

The coolant should be changed at

the intervals specified in the mainte-

nance schedule.

F070B01A-GAT

o Cooling System

Check the cooling system part, such

as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses

and connections for leakage and dam-

age. Replace any damaged parts.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

F070L01A-AAT

o Suspension Mounting Bolts

Check the suspension connections for

looseness or damage. Retighten to the

specified torque.

F070J01A-AAT

o Brake Pads, Calipers and

Rotors

Check the pads for excessive wear,

discs for run out and wear, and cali-

pers for fluid leakage.

F070K01A-AAT

o Exhaust Pipe and Muffler

Visually inspect the exhaust pipes,

muffler and hangers for cracks, dete-

rioration, or damage. Start the engine

and listen carefully for any exhaust

gas leakage. Tighten connections or

replace parts as necessary.

F070F01A-AAT

o Brake Hoses and Lines

Visually check for proper installation,

chafing, cracks, deterioration and any

leakage. Replace any deteriorated or

damaged parts immediately.

F070G02A-AAT

o Brake Fluid

Check brake fluid level in the brake

fluid reservoir. The level should be

between 'MIN' and 'MAX' marks on the

side of the reservoir. Use only hydrau-

lic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or

DOT 4.

F070H01A-AAT

o Rear Brake Drums / Linings,

Parking Brake

Check the rear brake drums and lin-

ings for scoring, burning, leaking fluid,

broken parts, and excessive wear. In-

spect the parking brake system in-

cluding the parking brake lever and

cables. For detailed service proce-

dures, refer to the Shop Manual.

F070E05A-AAT

o Automatic Transaxle Fluid

The fluid level should be in the "HOT"

range of the dipstick, after the engine

and transaxle are at normal operating

temperature. Check the automatic

transaxle fluid level with the engine

running and the transaxle in neutral,

with the parking brake properly ap-

plied. Use Hyundai Genuine ATF SP-

III, DIAMOND ATF SP-III, SK ATF

SP-III or other brands appraoved by

Hyundai Motor Co., when adding or

changing fluid.

F070D01A-AAT

o Manual Transaxle Oil

Inspect the manual transaxle oil ac-

cording to the maintenance schedule.

NOTE:

If the oil level is low, check for

possible leaks before adding oil. Do

not overfill.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

F070M01A-AAT

o Steering Gear Box, Linkage &

Boots/Lower Arm Ball Joint

With the vehicle stopped and engine

off, check for excessive free-play in

the steering wheel.

Check the linkage for bends or dam-

age. Check the dust boots and ball

joints for deterioration, cracks, or dam-

age. Replace any damaged parts.

F070N01A-AAT

o Power Steering Pump,

Belt and Hoses

Check the power steering pump and

hoses for leakage and damage. Re-

place any damaged or leaking parts

immediately. Inspect the power steer-

ing belt for evidence of cuts, cracks,

excessive wear, oiliness and proper

tension. Replace or adjust it if neces-

sary.

F070P01A-AAT

o Drive Shafts and Boots

Check the drive shafts, boots and

clamps for cracks, deterioration, or

damage. Replace any damaged parts

and, if necessary, repack the grease.

F070Q01A-AAT
