Quiz: how well do you know your Hyundai H1?

13 questions. After each answer you get a short explanation and a link to the manual page that covers it in detail.

How long may you run the starter continuously in one attempt on the Hyundai H1?
No more than 10 seconds. Longer cranking drains the battery. If the engine does not start, turn the key back to LOCK and wait a few minutes before trying again. Engine Starting Tips

Why must the tailgate of the H1 stay closed while driving?
A loose tailgate can draw exhaust gases into the cabin. Exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is colourless and odourless. If you must drive with the tailgate open, close the windows, open the dash vents and set fresh air on high fan. Exhaust Gas Precautions when Starting and Driving

On an H1 with a limited-slip differential, which wheels does it act on, and what does it do?
Rear wheels only; sends more torque to the wheel with grip. If one rear wheel loses traction, more torque goes to the other. Never start the engine with one rear wheel lifted and the other on the ground: the car may lunge forward. Limited-Slip Differential (if equipped)

When is the purge control solenoid valve of the H1 evaporative system closed by the ECU?
When coolant is cold and during idling. When the engine is off, the canister absorbs fuel vapour; once warm and driving, the valve opens and vapour is drawn into the intake. Evaporative Emission Control System (Excluding Charcoal Canister)

On the H1 headlight levelling switch, what does a higher switch position do?
Lowers the headlight beam. Adjust the switch to passengers and cargo load so you do not dazzle other drivers; a table gives example settings. Headlight Leveling System (if equipped)

How should you restore the folded third seat of the H1 to normal position?
Pull out the leg, remove the strap, lower the seat slowly. Go slowly so the seat does not fall on your foot or trap your hand. Folding starts with removing the headrest and tilting the backrest fully back. Third Row Seat (Minivan)

What happens on the H1 if you leave the parking lights on and open the driver's door after a trip?
They switch off automatically. To turn them on again, simply turn the ignition key to ON. This auto-off feature is fitted only if equipped. Multi-function light switch

How often should you apply wax to the H1's paintwork?
At least once every three months. Wax helps keep dirt and road chemicals from sticking. Do not polish matt parts or plastic bumpers, as it will soil and damage them. Exterior

How should you open the fuel filler cap of the H1 in hot weather?
Slowly; a faint hiss of air is normal. Always stop the engine and keep sparks and flames away. A replacement cap should be a genuine Hyundai part. Refueling (Van, Wagon)

Which item is on the H1 inspection list only for hydraulically operated clutches?
Clutch fluid. The list also covers tyre pressure including the spare, leaks, lights, and free play of steering wheel, clutch, brake pedal and parking brake lever. Inspection Schedule

In the H1 crankcase emission system, where does the PCV valve send the blow-by gases mixed with fresh air?
To the intake system. Fresh air enters the crankcase via the air cleaner and mixes with gases. The PCV valve needs periodic servicing to remove combustion deposits. Crankcase Emission Control System

What happens to the warranty if a counterfeit or used part causes damage to your Hyundai?
It does not cover the damage. Genuine Hyundai parts are sold only at authorised dealers and service centres. Look for the Hyundai Motor Company logo on the packaging. Information on Genuine Hyundai Parts

Which type of catalytic converter is fitted to all Hyundai vehicles?
Monolithic three-way converter. It reduces carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. The page also tells you what rubber hose damage looks like near the exhaust manifold. Exhaust Emission Control System
