The following lists are vehicle checks
and inspections that should be per-
formed by the owner or an author-
ized HYUNDAI Tucson Fuel Cell
dealer at the frequencies indicated to
help ensure safe, dependable opera-
tion of your vehicle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your deal-
er as soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance vehicle
checks are generally not covered by
warranties and you may be charged
for labor, parts and lubricants used.
Performing maintenance work
on a vehicle can be dangerous.
If you lack sufficient knowledge
and experience or the proper
tools and equipment to do the
work, have it done by an author-
ized HYUNDAI Tucson Fuel Cell
dealer. ALWAYS follow these
precautions for performing
maintenance work:
•
Park your vehicle on level
ground, move the shift lever
into the P (Park), apply the
parking brake,
place the
POWER button in the OFF
position.
•
Block the tires (front and
back) to prevent the vehicle
from moving.
Remove loose clothing or jew-
elry that can become entan-
gled in moving parts.

WARNING
(Continued)
•
If you must run the fuel cell
power module during mainte-
nance, do so out doors or in
an area with plenty of ventila-
tion.
•
Keep flames, sparks, or smok-
ing materials away from the
battery and fuel-related parts.
•
Working under the hood with
the vehicle in “READY” state
is dangerous. It becomes
even more dangerous when
you wear jewelry or loose
clothing. These can become
entangled in moving parts
and result in injury. Therefore,
if you work under the hood
with the vehicle in "READY"
state make certain that you
remove all jewelry (especially
rings, bracelets, watches, and
necklaces) and all neckties,
scarves, and similar loose
clothing before getting near
the fuel cell power module (for
example, traction motor).
