Explanation of Scheduled Maintenance Items

Engine Oil and Filter

Engine oil and filter must be replaced at the intervals specified in the Maintenance Schedule. If the vehicle is operated under severe conditions, more frequent oil and filter replacement is necessary.

Seat Belts

Inspect all drive belts for signs of cuts, cracks, excessive wear, or oil saturation, and replace as necessary. Drive belts should be checked periodically for proper tension and adjusted as necessary.

Fuel filter

A clogged fuel filter may limit vehicle speed, damage the emission control system, and cause hard starting. When a significant amount of foreign matter has accumulated in the fuel tank, the fuel filter must be replaced.

After installing a new fuel filter, run the engine for several minutes and check the connections for leaks. Fuel filters must be installed by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Fuel Lines, Fuel Hoses and Connections

Inspect the fuel lines, fuel hoses and connections for leaks and damage. Have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer replace damaged or leaking parts immediately.

Vapor Hose and Fuel Tank Cap

The vapor hose and fuel tank cap must be inspected at the interval specified in the Maintenance Schedule. Make sure the new vapor hose or fuel tank cap is correctly installed.

Air Cleaner Filter

An genuine HYUNDAI air cleaner filter is recommended when replacing the filter.

Spark Plugs

Be sure to install new spark plugs with the correct heat range.

Inspect the cooling system components, such as the radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and connections, for leaks and damage. Replace any damaged parts.

Parking Brake

Inspect the parking brake system, including the parking brake pedal and cables.

Brake Pads, Discs, Calipers and Rotors

Check the pads for excessive wear, the discs and rotors for runout and wear, and the calipers for fluid leaks.

Suspension Mounting Bolts

Check the suspension connections for looseness or damage. Tighten to the specified torque.

Steering Gear Box, Linkage and Lower Arm Ball Joint Boots

With the vehicle stopped and the engine off, check the steering wheel for excessive play. Check the linkage for bends or damage. Check the boots and ball joints for wear, cracks, or damage.

Replace any damaged parts.
