SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE SERVICES

If any of the following conditions apply, follow the Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions.

• Repeated driving short distance of less than 5 miles (8 km) in normal temperature or
  less than 10 miles (16 km) in freezing temperature
• Extensive engine idling or low speed driving for long distances
• Driving on rough, dusty, muddy, unpaved, graveled, or salt-spread roads
• Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive materials or in very cold weather
• Driving in heavy dust conditions
• Driving in heavy traffic
• Driving on uphill, downhill, or mountain roads
• Towing a trailer or using a camper, or driving with loads on the roof
• Driving as a patrol car, taxi, or other commercial use
• Frequently driving at high speeds or rapid acceleration/deceleration
• Frequently driving in stop-and-go traffic
• Using engine oil that is not recommended (mineral type, semi synthetic, lower grade spec, etc.)

Information
After driving more than 10 years or 100,000 miles (160,000 km), use severe maintenance schedule.

Information

• Engine oil is consumed while driving and the engine oil level should be checked on regular basis.
• The engine oil change interval under normal operating conditions is based on the  use of engine oil that meets the recommended engine specification for your vehicle. If any other type of engine oil is used, replace the engine oil according to the maintenance schedule under severe operating conditions.
• The vehicle may be equipped with Oil Life Management System that predicts engine oil life based on the driver’s driving history and alerts the driver to change engine oil.
  • If the deterioration of the engine oil increases depending on the driver’s driving severity, the remaining oil life alert appears on the instrument cluster before the normal engine oil replacement interval. Have the engine oil and filter changed by an authorized HYUDNAI dealer.
  • Oil Life Management System works when the recommended engine oil is used. So, if recommended engine oil is not used, replace the engine oil according to the maintenance schedule under severe usage conditions. Also, check the amount of engine oil regularly as this system assumes that the engine oil is being filled normally.
  • Always reset the remaining engine oil life whenever the engine oil is changed. Otherwise, the indication of remaining Oil life in the Oil Life Management System may not be accurate.To reset the Oil Change Reminder, select “RESET” from
    the infotainment system screen. Then, select “Yes” when the message “Has the engine oil changed? Press [Yes] to reset the oil life.” appears on the screen.
  • If there is no alert until the maximum maintenance interval, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUDNAI dealer.

EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS

Engine Oil and Filter
The engine oil and filter should be changed at the intervals specified
in the maintenance schedule. If the vehicle is driven in severe conditions, more frequent oil and filter changes are required.

Drive Belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of cuts, cracks, excessive wear, or oil saturation. Replace them if necessary.

Check the drive belts periodically
for proper tension and adjusted as necessary.

WARNING
Always turn off the engine before inspecting the drive belts.

Fuel Lines, Fuel Hoses and Connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses, and connections for leakage and damage. Have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer replace any damaged or leaking parts immediately.

Fuel Filter
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 have the fuel filter replaced immediately.

Vapor Hose and Fuel Filler Cap
The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should be inspected at intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. Your HYUNDAI dealer helps determine if replacement is needed.

Vacuum Crankcase Ventilation Hoses
Visually check for proper installation, chafing, cracks, deterioration, and any leakage. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts immediately.

Air Cleaner Filter
The air cleaner filter should be replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Spark Plugs
Be sure to install new spark plugs with the 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.

WARNING
Do not remove spark plugs from the vehicle when the engine is hot. You may damage the engine and may also risk burn injury.

Cooling System
Check the cooling system components such as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses, and connections for leakage and damage. Replace any damaged parts.

Engine Coolant
The coolant should be changed at intervals specified in the maintenance schedule.

Automatic Transmission Fluid
The automatic transmission fluid level does not need to be checked under normal usage conditions.

If driven in severe operating conditions, have the automatic transmission fluid changed by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer according to the maintenance schedule under severe conditions.

Information
The color of a new automatic transmission fluid is red. As the vehicle is driven, the automatic transmission fluid begins to look darker.
This is normal and the automatic transmission fluid does not need to be replaced based on the color change.

NOTICE
Only use the automatic transmission fluid specified in the “Recommended Lubricants and Capacities” section in Chapter 10 to prevent transmission damage.

Brake Hoses and Lines
Visually check for proper installation, chafing, cracks, deterioration, and any leakage. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts immediately.

Brake Fluid
Check the brake fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir. The level should be between the MIN and the MAX marks on the side of the reservoir. Use only hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 4 specification.

Parking Brake
Inspect the parking brake system including the cables.

Brake Discs, Pads, Calipers, and Rotors
Check the pads, the disc, and the rotor for any excessive wear-out. Inspect calipers for any fluid leakage.

Drive Shaft and Related
Check the drive shaft, boots, clamps, rubber couplings, and center-bearing rubber for cracks, deterioration, or damage. Replace any damaged parts and if necessary, repack the grease.

Suspension Mounting Bolts
Check the suspension connections for looseness or damage. Retighten to the specified torque.

Steering Gear Box, Linkage & Boots/Lower Arm Ball Joint
With the vehicle stopped and the engine off, check for excessive free-play in the steering wheel. Check the linkage for bends or damage. Check the dust boots and ball joints for deterioration, cracks, or damage.

Replace any damaged parts.

Air Conditioning Refrigerant
Check the air conditioning lines and connections for leakage and damage.
