*1 : Inspect drive belt tensioner, idler and alternator pulley and if necessary correct or replace.

*2 : Check the engine oil level and leak every 500 km (350 miles) or before starting a long trip.

*3 : The engine oil level should be checked regularly and maintained properly. Operating with an insufficient amount of oil can dam-

age the engine, and such damage is not covered by warranty.

*4 : This maintenance schedule depends on fuel quality. It is applicable only when using a qualified fuel <"EN590 or equivalent">.

If the diesel fuel specifications don't meet the EN590, it must be replaced more frequently. HYUNDAI recommends "every

7,500km inspection, every 15,000km replacement". If there are some important safety matters like fuel flow restriction, surg-

ing, loss of power, hard starting problem etc., replace the fuel filter immediately regardless of maintenance schedule. We rec-

ommend that you consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for details.

3. Start the engine and allow it to reach

normal operating temperature.

4. Turn the engine off and wait for a

few minutes (about 5 minutes) for

the oil to return to the oil pan.

5. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean,
