Service Requirements
To ensure that you receive the greatest number
of miles of satisfying operation from your
Hyundai, certain maintenance procedures must
be performed. Although careful design and en-
gineering have reduced these to a minimum,
those that are required are of the utmost impor-
tance.
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 information
about these warranties.

The maintenance required for your Hyundai can
be divided into three main areas:

Specified Scheduled Procedures
These are the procedures such as inspections,
adjustments and replacements that are listed in
the maintenance charts starting on page 5-3.
These procedures must be performed at the
intervals shown in the maintenance schedule to
assure that your warranty remains in effect.
Although it is strongly recommended that they
be performed by the trained technicians at your
Hyundai dealer, these procedures may be per-
formed at any qualified service facility.
It is suggested that genuine Hyundai service
parts be used for any required repairs or re-
placements. Other parts of equivalent quality
such as engine oil, engine coolant, auto transaxle
oil, brake fluid and so on which are not supplied
by Hyundai Motor Company or its distributor
may be used without 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 pro-
vides further information about your warranty
coverage.

General Checks
These are the regular checks you should per-
form when you drive your Hyundai or you fill the
fuel tank. A list of these items will be found on
page 6-2.

Do-It-Yourself Maintenance
If you are mechanically inclined, own a few tools
that are required and want to take the time to do
so, you can inspect and service a number of
items. For more information about doing it your-
self, see Section 6.

A Few Tips
o Whenever you have your Hyundai serviced,
keep copies of the service records in your
glovebox. This will help ensure that you can
document that the required procedures have
been 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.
