OWNER MAINNTENANCE  
The following lists are vehicle checks  
and inspections that should be per-  
formed by the owner or an authorized  
HYUNDAI dealer at the frequencies  
indicated to help ensure safe, depend-  
able operation of your vehicle.  
(Continued)  
WARNING  
Block the tires (front and back)  
to prevent the vehicle from  
moving.  
Performing maintenance work  
on a vehicle can be dangerous.  
If you lack sufficient knowledge  
and experience or the proper  
tools and equipment to do the  
work, we recommend that the  
system be serviced by an author-  
ized HYUNDAI dealer. ALWAYS  
follow these precautions for  
performing maintenance work:  
Remove loose clothing or jew-  
elry that can become entan-  
gled in moving parts.  
Any adverse conditions should be  
brought to the attention of your dealer  
as soon as possible.  
If you must run the engine  
during maintenance, do so  
out doors or in an area with  
plenty of ventilation.  
These Owner Maintenance vehicle  
checks are generally not covered by  
warranties and you may be charged  
for labor, parts and lubricants used.  
Keep flames, sparks, or smok-  
ing materials away from the  
battery and fuel-related parts.  
Park your vehicle on level  
ground, move the shift lever  
into the P (Park, for automatic  
transaxle/dual clutch transmis-  
sion vehicle) position, apply the  
parking brake, place the igni-  
tion switch in the LOCK/OFF  
position.

Maintenance  
While operating your vehicle:  
Owner maintenance schedule  
WARNING  
• Note any changes in the sound of  
the exhaust or any smell of exhaust  
fumes in the vehicle.  
When you stop for fuel:  
Diesel Engine  
• Check the engine oil level.  
• Check coolant level in the engine  
coolant reservoir.  
Never manipulate or modify the  
injection system while running  
the diesel engine or within 30  
seconds after turning OFF the  
diesel engine.The high-pressure  
pump, high-pressure pipes, rail,  
and injectors are still subject to  
the high pressure right after  
stopping the diesel engine.  
• Check for vibrations in the steering  
wheel. Notice if there is any  
increased steering effort or loose-  
ness in the steering wheel, or  
change in its straight-ahead position.  
• Check the windshield washer fluid  
level.  
• Check 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.This may result in  
coolant being blown out of the  
opening and cause serious  
burns and other injuries.  
• When stopping, listen and check for  
unusual sounds, pulling to one side,  
increased brake pedal travel or  
“hard-to-push” brake pedal.  
When the fuel leakage vents out,  
it may cause serious body injury.  
Any people, who are implement-  
ed with the artificial cardiac  
pacemaker, should remain away  
from the ECU or the wiring har-  
ness by at least 30 cm, while run-  
ning the diesel engine. The high  
currents of the electric engine  
control system produce a con-  
siderable amount of magnetic  
fields.  
• If any slipping or changes in the  
operation of your transaxle occurs,  
check the transaxle fluid level.  
• Check the automatic transaxle/  
dual clutch transmission P (Park)  
function.  
• Check the parking brake.  
• Check for fluid leaks under your  
vehicle (water dripping from the air  
conditioning system during or after  
use is normal).  
7-8  
At least monthly:  
At least twice a year:  
(i.e., every Spring and Fall)  
At least once a year:  
• Check coolant level in the engine  
coolant reservoir.  
• Clean body and door drain holes.  
• Check radiator, heater and air condi-  
tioning hoses for leaks or damage.  
• Lubricate door hinges and hood  
hinges.  
• Check the operation of all exterior  
lights, including the stoplights, turn  
signals and hazard warning flashers.  
• Check windshield washer spray  
and wiper operation. Clean wiper  
blades with clean cloth dampened  
with washer fluid.  
• Lubricate door and hood locks and  
latches.  
• Check the inflation pressures of all  
tires including the spare for tires  
that are worn, show uneven wear,  
or are damaged.  
• Lubricate door rubber weather  
strips.  
• Check headlamp alignment.  
• Check the air conditioning system.  
• Check muffler, exhaust pipes,  
shields and clamps.  
• Inspect and lubricate automatic  
transaxle linkage and controls.  
• Check for loose wheel lug nuts.  
• Check the seat belts for wear and  
function.  
• Clean the battery and terminals.  
• Check the brake fluid level.

*7 : This maintenance schedule depends on fuel quality. It is applicable only when using a qualified fuel <"EN590 or equivalent">.  
If the diesel fuel specifications don't meet the EN590, it must be replaced more frequently. HYUNDAI recommends "every  
7,500km inspection, every 15,000km replacement". If there are some important safety matters like fuel flow restriction, surg-  
ing, loss of power, hard starting problem etc., replace the fuel filter immediately regardless of maintenance schedule. We rec-  
ommend that you consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for details.  
*8 : When adding coolant, use only deionized water or soft water for your vehicle and never mix hard water in the coolant filled at  
the factory. An improper coolant mixture can result in serious malfunction or engine damage. For your convenience, it can be  
replaced prior to it's interval when you do maintenance of other items.

ENGINE CCOOLANT  
The high-pressure cooling system  
has a reservoir filled with year-round  
antifreeze coolant. The reservoir is  
filled at the factory.  
The coolant level should be filled  
between MAX and MIN marks on the  
side of the coolant reservoir when  
the engine is cool.  
Checking the engine coolant  
level  
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.  
If the coolant level is low, add enough  
distilled (deionized) or soft water.  
Bring the level to MAX, but do not  
overfill.  
If frequent additions are required, we  
recommend that the system be  
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI  
dealer.  
NOTICE  
• When the engine overheats from  
low engine coolant, suddenly  
adding engine coolant may cause  
cracks in the engine. To prevent  
damage, add engine coolant  
slowly in small quantities.  
OTL075070  
• Do not drive with no engine  
coolant. It may cause water pump  
failure and engine seizure, etc.

Maintenance  
(Continued)  
WARNING  
WARNING  
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.  
Removing radiator  
cap  
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.  
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.  
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.  
(Continued)  
Even if the engine is not oper-  
ating, do not remove the radia-  
tor cap or the drain plug while  
the engine and radiator are  
hot. Hot coolant and steam  
may still blow out under pres-

TIRES ANDD 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  
OTLE085006  
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.  
For recommended inflation pres-  
sure refer to “Tire and wheels” in  
chapter 8.  
7-48  
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 tire be  
checked by an authorized  
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 driv-  
en 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 cen-  
ter 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 acci-  
dents. If your tread is badly  
worn, or if your tires have been  
damaged, replace them.  
7
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.  
7-49  
Maintenance  
Remove the valve cap from the tire  
valve stem. Press the tire gage firmly  
onto the valve to get a pressure  
measurement. If the cold tire inflation  
pressure matches the recommended  
pressure on the tire and loading infor-  
mation label, no further adjustment is  
necessary. If the pressure is low, add  
air until you reach the recommended  
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 cen-  
ter 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 moisture.  
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.  
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 vehicle.

Tire rotation  
i
Information  
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.  
The outside and inside of the unsym-  
metrical tire is distinguishable. When  
installing an unsymmetrical tire, be  
sure to install the side marked "out-  
side" face the outside. If the side  
marked "inside" is installed on the  
outside, it will have a bad effect on  
vehicle performance.  
During rotation, check the tires for cor-  
rect 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.  
WARNING  
ODH073802  
Disc brake pads should be inspected  
for wear whenever tires are rotated.  
Do not use the compact spare  
tire for tire rotation.  
Do not mix bias ply and radial  
ply tires under any circum-  
stances.This may cause unusu-  
al handling characteristics that  
could result in death, severe  
injury, or property damage.

WARNING  
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.  
NOTICE  
Improper wheel weights can  
damage your vehicle's aluminum  
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.  
Driving on worn-out tires is  
very hazardous and will  
reduce braking effectiveness,  
steering accuracy, and trac-  
tion.  
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.  
When replacing tires (or  
wheels), it is recommended to  
replace the two front or two  
rear tires (or wheels) as a pair.  
Replacing just one tire can  
seriously affect your vehicle’s  
handling.  
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.

A wheel that is not the correct  
size may adversely affect wheel  
and bearing life, braking and  
stopping abilities, handling char-  
acteristics, ground clearance,  
body-to-tire clearance, snow  
chain clearance, speedometer  
and odometer calibration, head-  
lamp aim and bumper height.

Tire maintenance  
In addition to proper inflation, correct  
wheel alignment helps to decrease  
tire wear. If you find a tire is worn  
unevenly, have your dealer check the  
wheel alignment.

OLMB073028  
This information identifies and  
describes the fundamental charac-  
teristics of the tire and also provides  
the tire identification number (TIN)  
for safety standard certification. The  
TIN can be used to identify the tire in  
case of a recall.  
When you have new tires installed,  
make sure they are balanced. This  
will increase vehicle ride comfort and  
tire life. Additionally, a tire should  
always be rebalanced if it is removed  
from the wheel.

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 conditions  
can accelerate the aging process.  
Failure to follow this Warning can  
result in sudden tire failure,  
which could lead to a loss of con-  
trol and an accident involving  
serious injury or death.

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 over-  
loaded. Excessive speed, under-  
inflation, or excessive loading,  
either separately or in combina-  
tion, 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-

LIGHT BULBS  
Consult an authorized HYUNDAI  
dealer to replace most vehicle light  
bulbs. 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 for removing the headlamp  
assembly to get to the bulb(s).

asymmetric part will dazzle oncoming  
car driver. To prevent dazzle, ECE reg-  
ulation demand several technical solu-  
tions (ex. automatic change system,  
adhesive sheet, down aiming). These  
headlamps are designed not to dazzle  
opposite drivers. So, you need not  
change your headlamps in a country  
with opposite traffic direction.  
i
Information  
Removing/installing the headlamp  
assembly can result in damage to  
the vehicle.  
After heavy driving, rain or washing,  
headlamp and tail lamp 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, we rec-  
ommend that the system be checked  
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.  
WARNING  
Prior to working on the light,  
firmly apply the parking brake,  
ensure that the ignition switch is  
in the LOCK/OFF position and  
turn off the lights to avoid sud-  
den movement of the vehicle and  
burning your fingers or receiving  
an electric shock.

Washing  
Exterior general caution  
• Do not use strong soap, chemi-  
cal detergents or hot water, and  
do not wash the vehicle in direct  
sunlight or when the body of the  
vehicle is warm.  
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.  
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 interior.  
• To prevent damage to the plastic  
parts and lamps, do not clean  
with chemical solvents or strong  
detergents.  
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.  
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 finish.  
WARNING  
Wet brakes  
7
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 main-  
taining a slow forward speed.

Maintenance  
High-pressure washing  
Waxing  
Wax the vehicle when water will no  
longer bead on the paint.  
• When using high-pressure washers,  
make sure to maintain sufficient dis-  
tance from the vehicle.  
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.  
Insufficient clearance or excessive  
pressure can lead to component  
damage or water penetration.  
• Do not spray the camera, sensors or  
its surrounding area directly with a  
high pressure washer. Shock  
applied from high pressure water  
may cause the device to not operate  
normally.  
OLMB073082  
NOTICE  
• Do not bring the nozzle tip close to  
boots (rubber or plastic covers) or  
connectors as they may be dam-  
aged if they come into contact with  
high pressure water.  
• 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.  
NOTICE  
• Wiping dust or dirt off the body  
with a dry cloth will scratch the  
finish.  
• Never allow water or other liquids  
to come in contact with electri-  
cal/electronic components inside  
the vehicle as this may damage  
them.  
• Do not use steel wool, abrasive  
cleaners, or strong detergents  
containing highly alkaline or  
caustic agents on chrome-plated

though they have been treated with  
rust protection.  
To protect the surfaces of bright-  
metal parts from corrosion, apply a  
coating of wax or chrome preser-  
vative and rub to a high luster.  
NOTICE  
• During winter weather or in coastal  
areas, cover the bright metal parts  
with a heavier coating of wax or  
preservative. If necessary, coat the  
parts with non-corrosive petroleum  
jelly or other protective compound.  
If your vehicle is damaged and  
requires any metal repair or  
replacement, be sure the body  
shop applies anti-corrosion materi-  
als to the parts repaired or replaced.  
Thoroughly flush the vehicle under-  
body and wheel openings with luke-  
warm 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.

By using the most advanced design  
and construction practices to combat  
corrosion, we produces cars of the  
highest quality. However, this is only  
part of the job. To achieve the long-  
term corrosion resistance your vehi-  
cle can deliver, the owner's coopera-  
tion and assistance is also required.  
NOTICE  
• Do not use any abrasive cleaner,  
polishing compound, solvent,  
or wire brushes on aluminum  
wheels.  
• Clean the wheel when it has  
cooled.  
• Use only a mild soap or neutral  
detergent, and rinse thoroughly  
with water. Also, be sure to clean  
the wheels after driving on salted  
roads.  
Common causes of corrosion  
The most common causes of corro-  
sion on your car are:  
• Road salt, dirt and moisture that is  
allowed to accumulate underneath  
the car.  
• Do not wash the wheels with high-  
speed car wash brushes.  
• Removal of paint or protective coat-  
ings by stones, gravel, abrasion or  
minor scrapes and dents which  
leave unprotected metal exposed to  
corrosion.  
• Do not use any cleanser contain-

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 sur-

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, particularly when  
temperatures are just above freezing.  
In such conditions, the corrosive  
material is kept in contact with the car  
surfaces by moisture that is slow to

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.

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 cor-  
rosion.

Interior general precautions  
Vinyl  
Clean the belt webbing with any mild  
soap solution recommended for clean-  
ing upholstery or carpet. Follow the  
instructions provided with the soap. Do  
not bleach or re-dye the webbing  
because this may weaken it.  
Prevent chemicals such as perfume,  
cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand cleaner  
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.  
Cleaning the interior window

Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric  
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.  
Clean with a mild soap solution recom-  
mended for upholstery or carpets.  
If the interior glass surfaces of the  
vehicle become fogged (that is, cov-  
ered with an oily, greasy or waxy film),  
they should be cleaned with glass  
cleaner. Follow the directions on the  
glass cleaner container.  
NOTICE  
Never allow water or other liquids to  
come in contact with electrical/elec-  
tronic components inside the vehi-  
cle as this may damage them.  
Remove fresh spots immediately 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 prop-  
erties can be reduced if the material is  
not properly maintained.

Maintenance  
EMISSION COONTROL SYSTEM  
The emission control system of your  
vehicle is covered by a written limited  
warranty. Please see the warranty  
information contained in the Service  
Passport in your vehicle.  
1. Crankcase emission control  
system  
CAUTION  
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  
intake hose. Inside the crankcase,  
the fresh air mixes with blow-by  
gases, which then pass through the  
PCV valve into the induction system.  
For the Inspection and Maintenance  
Test (With Electronic Stability Control  
(ESC) system)  
Your vehicle is equipped with an  
emission control system to meet all  
emission regulations.  
To prevent the vehicle from  
misfiring during dynamome-  
ter testing, turn the Electronic  
Stability Control (ESC) sys-  
tem off by pressing the ESC  
switch.  
There are three emission control  
systems which are as follows.  
(1) Crankcase emission control sys-  
tem  
After dynamometer testing is  
completed, turn the ESC sys-  
tem back on by pressing the  
ESC switch again.  
2. Evaporative emission con-  
trol system  
(2) Evaporative emission control sys-  
tem  
(3) Exhaust emission control system  
The Evaporative Emission Control  
System is designed to prevent fuel  
vapors from escaping into the atmos-  
phere.  
In order to assure the proper function  
of the emission control systems, it is  
recommended that you have your car  
inspected and maintained by an  
authorized HYUNDAI dealer in accor-  
dance with the maintenance schedule  
in this manual.

Canister  
Engine exhaust gas precautions  
(carbon monoxide)  
3. Exhaust emission control  
system  
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel  
tank are absorbed and stored in the  
onboard canister.When the engine is  
running, the fuel vapors absorbed in  
the canister are drawn into the surge  
tank through the purge control sole-  
noid valve.  
• 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 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 con-  
trols exhaust emissions while main-  
taining good vehicle performance.  
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.  
Purge Control Solenoid Valve  
(PCSV)  
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  
during ordinary driving, the PCSV  
opens to introduce evaporated fuel to  
the engine.  
In addition, damage or performance  
problems resulting from any modifi-  
cation may not be covered under  
warranty.  
• 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.

Maintenance  
• Do not operate the engine in con-  
fined or closed areas (such as  
garages) any more than what is  
necessary to move the vehicle in or  
out of the area.  
Operating precautions for cat-  
alytic converters (if equipped)  
WARNING  
Engine exhaust gases contain  
carbon monoxide (CO). Though  
colorless and odorless, it is dan-  
gerous and could be lethal if  
inhaled. Follow the instructions  
following to avoid CO poisoning.  
WARNING  
• 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.  
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.  
• Never sit in a parked or stopped  
vehicle for any extended time with  
the engine running.  
The exhaust system and cat-  
alytic system are very hot while  
the engine is running or imme-  
diately after the engine is  
turned off. Keep away from the  
exhaust system and catalytic,  
you may get burned.  
• When the engine stalls or fails to  
start, excessive attempts to restart  
the engine may cause damage to  
the emission control system.  
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.  
7-102  
Your vehicle is equipped with a cat-  
alytic converter emission control  
device.  
Failure to observe these precautions  
could result in damage to the catalytic  
converter and to your vehicle.  
(Continued)  
Do not operate the engine at  
high idle speed for extended  
periods (5 minutes or more).  
Therefore, the following precautions  
must be observed:  
Additionally, such actions could void  
your warranties.  
Do not modify or tamper with  
any part of the engine or emis-  
sion control system. All inspec-  
tions and adjustments must be  
made by an authorized HYUNDAI  
dealer.  
CAUTION  
Use only UNLEADED FUEL for  
gasoline engine.  
Do not operate the vehicle when  
there are signs of engine mal-  
function, such as misfire or a  
noticeable loss of performance.  
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 cat-  
alytic converter.  
Do not misuse or abuse the  
engine. Examples of misuse are  
coasting with the engine off and  
descending steep grades in  
gear with the engine off.

Maintenance  
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)  
stops illuminating, when the driving  
speed exceeds 60 km/h (37mph), or  
when the engine rpm is between  
1,500 and 2,500 with the gear in the  
2nd position or above for approxi-  
mately 25 minutes.  
Diesel particulate filter (DPF)  
(if equipped)  
CAUTION  
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)  
system removes the soot in the  
exhaust gas.  
Diesel Fuel  
(if equipped with DPF)  
We recommend you to use only  
the regulated diesel fuels, when  
your vehicle is equipped with  
the DPF system.  
The DPF system automatically burns  
(or oxidizes) the accumulated soot in  
accordance with the driving situa-  
tions, unlike a disposable air filter.  
When the MIL continuously blinks or  
the warning message “Check exhaust  
system” illuminates in the above  
cases, we recommend you to have the  
DPF system checked by an author-  
ized HYUNDAI dealer.  
When you use other diesel fuels,  
which is high in sulfurs (above  
50 ppm) or contains unspecified  
additives, it may damage the  
DPF system and cause the white  
smoke emission.  
In other words, the accumulated soot  
is automatically purged out by the  
engine control system and by the high  
exhaust-gas temperature at normal/  
high driving speeds.  
When the vehicle is continuously driv-  
en with the MIL flashing for an extend-  
ed period of time, it may damage the  
DPF system and lower the fuel econ-  
omy.  
However, when the vehicle is continu-  
ally driven at repeated short distance  
or driven at low speed for a long time,  
the accumulated soot may not be  
automatically removed because of low  
exhaust gas temperature. In this case,  
the accumulated soot is out of the  
detection range, the soot oxidization  
process does not occur, and the  
Lean NOx Trap (if equipped)  
The Lean NOx Trap (LNT) system  
removes the nitrogen oxide in the  
exhaust gas. The smell can occur in  
the exhaust gas depending on the  
quality of the fuel and it can degrade  
NOx reduction performance, please  
use the regulated automotive diesel  
fuel.
