WARNING
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 authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
ALWAYS follow these precautions
for performing maintenance
work:
- Park your vehicle on level
ground, move the shift button
into the P (Park) position,
place the ignition switch in
the OFF position.
- Block the tires (front and
back) to prevent the vehicle
from moving.
Remove loose clothing or jewelry
that can become entangled
in moving parts.
- If you must run the engine
during maintenance, do so
out doors or in an area with
plenty of ventilation.
- Keep flames, sparks, or smoking
materials away from the
battery and fuel-related parts.
The following lists are vehicle checks
and inspections that should be performed
by the owner or an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer at the frequencies
indicated to help ensure safe,
dependable operation of your vehicle.
Any adverse conditions should be
brought to the attention of your dealer
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.
