Hyundai Scheduled Maintenance Services

Follow the Normal Maintenance Schedule if the vehicle is usually operated where none of the following conditions apply. If any of the following conditions apply, you must follow the Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions.

• Repeated driving short distances 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, gravelled 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 area
• Driving on uphill, downhill, or mountain road repeatedly
• Towing a trailer or using a camper, or driving with loads on the roof
• Driving as a patrol car, taxi, other commercial use of vehicle towing
• Frequently driving under high speed or rapid acceleration/deceleration
• Frequently driving in stop-and-go condition
• Engine oil usage which is not recommended (Mineral type, Semi-synthetic, Lower grade spec, etc.)

If your vehicle is operated under the above conditions, you should inspect, replace or refill more frequently than the following Normal Maintenance Schedule. After the periods or distance shown in the chart, continue to follow the prescribed maintenance intervals.

NOTICE
After driving more than 10 years or 100,000 miles, use a severe maintenance schedule.

Information

• As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving, the engine oil level should be checked on a regular basis.
• The engine oil change interval for normal operating conditions is based on the use of the recommended engine specification. If the recommended engine oil specification is not used, then replace the engine oil according to the maintenance schedule under severe operating conditions.
• The vehicle may be equipped with the 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 HYUNDAI dealer.
  • Oil Life Management System works when the recommended engine oil is used. So, if the 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. Then, select “Yes” when the message “Has the engine oil been changed? Press [Yes] to reset the oil life.” appears on the screen.
  • If there is no alert until the maximum maintenance interval, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI 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 being 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 adjust as necessary.

Information
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 any damaged or leaking parts replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer 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 those intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. Make sure a new vapor hose or fuel filler cap is correctly replaced.

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
A genuine HYUNDAI air cleaner filter is recommended when the filter is replaced.

Spark plugs
Be sure to install new spark plugs of 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.

Valve clearance
Inspect excessive valve noise and/or engine vibration and adjust if necessary.
Have the system serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Cooling system
Check 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 the intervals specified in the maintenance schedule.

Automatic Transmission fluid
The automatic transmission fluid level does not need to be checked under normal usage conditions.
Have the automatic transmission fluid changed by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer according to the maintenance schedule.

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 2 to prevent transmission damage.

Intelligent Variable Transmission fluid User Manual

Intelligent variable transmission fluid should not be checked under normal usage conditions.
Have the intelligent variable transmission fluid changed by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer according to the maintenance schedule?

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/clutch 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 specifications.

Parking brake
Inspect the parking brake system including the cables.

Brake discs, pads, callipers and rotors
Check the pads, the disc, and the rotor for any excessive wear-out. Inspect callipers for any fluid leakage.
For more information on checking the pads or lining wear limit, visit
http://service.hyundai-motor.com

Exhaust pipe and muffler
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler and hangers for cracks, deterioration, or damage. Start the engine and listen carefully for any exhaust gas leakage. Tighten connections or replace parts as necessary.

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.

Drive shafts and related
Check the drive shafts, boots and clamps for cracks, deterioration, or damage. Replace any damaged parts and, if necessary, repack the grease.

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