MAINTENANCE INTERVALS
Service requirements
To assure that you receive the greatest number
of kilometers 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 oovering your new
Hyundai. The Service Passport supplied with
your new vehicle provides further information
about these warranties.

Maintenance Requirements
The maintenance required for your Hyundai
can be divided into three main areas:
o Specified scheduled procedures
o General everyday checks
o Do-it-yourself maintenance
F010C01A-QAT
Specified Scheduled Procedures
These are the procedures such as inspections,
adjustments and replacements that are listed in
the maintenance charts starting on page 5-2.
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 factory-trained or distribu-
tor-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 re-
placements. Other parts of equivalent quality
such as engine pil, 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 without affecting
your warranty coverage but you should always
be sure these are equivalent to the quality of the
original Hyundai parts. Your Service Passport
provides f urther information about your warran-
ty coverage.

General Everyday Checks
These are the everyday checks you should
perform each time you drive your Hyundai or
when you fill the fuel tank. A list of these items
will be found on page 6-4.

Do-lt-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
yourself, 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 assure 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.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE RE-
QUIREMENTS
Inspection should be performed any time a
malfunction is experienced or suspected. Re-
ceipts for all emission control system services
should be retained to demonstrate compliance
with conditions of the emissions system war-
ranty.
For severe usage maintenance requirements,
