OWNER MAINTENANCE

WARNING
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 authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. ALWAYS follow
these precautions for performing
maintenance work:
• Park your vehicle on level ground,
move the shift lever into the P (Park,
for dual clutch transmission vehicle)
position or neutral (for manual
transmission vehicle) position, apply
the parking brake, and place the
ignition switch in the LOCK/ OFF
position.
• Block the tires (front and back) to
prevent the vehicle from moving.
Remove loose clothing or jewelry
that can become entangled in
moving parts.
• If you must run the engine during
maintenance, do so out doors or in
an area with plenty of ventilation.
• Keep flames, sparks, or smoking
materials away from the battery and
fuel-related parts.
The following lists are vehicle checks
and inspections we recommend to be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer at the frequencies indicated to
help ensure safe, dependable operation
of your vehicle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your dealer as
soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance vehicle
checks are generally not covered by
warranties and you may be charged for
labor, parts and lubricants used.
WARNING
Diesel Engine
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 high pressure immediately after
stopping the diesel engine.
When the fuel leakage vents out, it
may cause serious body injury. Any
people, who are implanted with the
artificial cardiac pacemaker, should
remain away from the ECU or the wiring
harness by at least 30 cm, while running
the diesel engine. The high currents of
the electronic engine control system
produce a considerable amount of
magnetic fields.

Owner maintenance schedule

When you stop for fuel:
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the coolant level in the engine
coolant reservoir.
• Check the windshield washer fluid
level.
• Check for low or under-inflated tires.
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.
