WARNING:
o Performing maintenance work on
a vehicle can be dangerous. You
can be seriously injured while
performing some maintenance
procedures. If you lack sufficient
knowledge and experience or the
proper tools and equipment to do
the work, have it done by an autho-
rized Hyundai dealer.
o Working under the hood with the
engine running is dangerous. It
becomes even more dangerous
when you wear jewelry or loose
clothing. These can become en-
tangled in moving parts and result
in injury. Therefore, if you must
run the engine while working un-
der the hood, make certain that
you remove all jewelry (especially
rings, bracelets, watches, and
necklaces) and all neckties,
scarves, and similar loose cloth-
ing before getting near the engine
or cooling fans.

in severe conditions.

following classification.

not available in your country, you are
able to use API service SL.
