To ensure that you receive the greatest num-
ber of miles of satisfying operation from your
Hyundai, certain maintenance procedures
must be performed. Although careful design
and engineering have reduced these to a
minimum, those that are required are of the
utmost importance.
It is your responsibility to have these mainte-
nance procedures performed to comply with
the terms of the warranties covering your new
Hyundai. The Owner's Handbook supplied
with your new vehicle provides further infor-
mation about these warranties.

These are the procedures such as inspec-
tions, adjustments and replacements that are
listed in the maintenance charts starting on
page 5-3. These procedures must be per-
formed at the intervals shown in the mainte-
nance schedule to assure that your warranty
remains in effect. Although it is strongly rec-
ommended that they be performed by the
trained technicians at your Hyundai dealer,
these procedures may be performed at any
qualified service facility.
It is suggested that genuine Hyundai service
parts be used for any required repairs or
replacements. Other parts of equivalent qual-
ity such as engine oil, engine coolant, manual
or auto transaxle oil, brake fluid and so on
which are not supplied by Hyundai Motor
Company or its distributor may be used with-
out affecting your warranty coverage but you
should always be sure these are equivalent to
the quality of the original Hyundai parts. Your
Owner's Handbook provides further informa-
tion about your warranty coverage.

A Few Tips A Few Tips A Few Tips A Few Tips A Few Tips
o Whenever you have your Hyundai ser-
viced, keep copies of the service records
in your glovebox. This will help assure you
can document the required procedures
being performed to keep your warranties
in effect. This is especially important when
service is not performed by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
o If you choose to do your own maintenance
and repairs, you may find it helpful to have
an official Hyundai Shop Manual. A copy of
this publication may be purchased at your
Hyundai dealer's parts department.
