being driven in severe conditions, more
frequent oil and filter changes are
required.

Drive belts

cracks, excessive wear or oil saturation.
Replace them if necessary.
Check the drive belts periodically for
proper tension and adjusted as
necessary.

inspecting the drive belts.
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and

The fuel filter is considered to be
maintenance free but periodic inspection
is recommended depending on the fuel
quality. If there is fuel flow restriction,
surging, loss of power, or hard starting,
contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer to

A genuine HYUNDAI air cleaner filter is
recommended when the filter is replaced.

correct heat range.
When installing new spark plugs, make
sure the ignition coils are clean and free of
any oil or debris. Clean and wipe off the
bottom portion of the ignition coil to
prevent any contamination with the spark
plug during installation.
