NOTE:
The inspection and testing of certain elec-
tronic fuel injection/engine management
and automatic transmission control sys-
tems require specialised electronic equip-
ment specifically designed for Hyundai ve-
hicles. The use of general purpose electri-
cal test equipment may result in damage to
the control unit microprocessors.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING
REQUIREMENTS
To ensure the continued reliability and safety
of the vehicle, certain routine maintenance
operations are required at specific mileage or
time intervals.
It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to
ensure that the maintenance schedules shown
in both this Owner's Manual and the Warranty
and Service Passport are adhered to.
The new vehicle warranty may be invalidated
if the routine maintenance operations are not
performed in line with the recommendations
outlined and the safety and durability of the
vehicle adversely affected.
It is recommended that all maintenance op-
erations with the exception of the daily oper-
ating checks are entrusted to a Hyundai dealer
to ensure that the latest repair and mainte-
nance procedures and specialized servicing
tools are employed. In addition, the use of
genuine Hyundai replacement parts will en-
sure that the vehicle safety and performance
will not be compromised.
DF020C1-E
Specified Scheduled Procedures
The specified scheduled procedures are listed
in the maintenance charts beginning at page
5-2. The operations specified must be per-
formed at the time or mileage intervals shown
irrespective of whether the mileage interval
has been reached before the specified time
interval.
Certain lubricants and components degrade
with both time and mileage (eg, engine oil and
brake fluid) and therefore it is not permissable
to base the maintenance schedule upon mile-
age alone. It is strongly recommended that
the maintenance operations are performed by
a Hyundai dealer because of the need for
specialized knowledge and tooling and to en-
sure that no possibility of invalidating the
manufacturers warranty exists.
The maintenance schedules relate to vehicles
operated under normal conditions, vehicles
which are operated under adverse conditions
will require more frequent maintenance which
is described at page 5-5.
DF020F1-E
SERVICE HISTORY
It is important that all scheduled maintenance
services are recorded in the warranty and
service passport to ensure that proof of main-
tenance is available when warranty service is
required.
