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).

and wiper operation. Clean wiper

blades with clean cloth dampened

with washer fluid.

tires including the spare for tires

that are worn, show uneven wear,

or are damaged.
