It is necessary to maintain your vehicle in top
operating condition in order to enjoy safe and
pleasant driving.
Some maintenance items can be done by the
owner (Consumer information), while others
should be done only by an authorized dealer
(periodic inspection and maintenance).
For the maintenance items to be done by the
owner, prepare the appropriate materials and
tools and follow the procedures given in the
"Consumer information" section of this manual.
However, the periodic inspection and mainte-
nance should not be attempted by the owner,
but should be done by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Correct performance of the periodic inspection
and maintenance items requires specialized
knowledge and equipment.
Having these items performed by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer with the latest technology and
equipment will ensure that your vehicle is main-
tained for optimum performance, economy, and
safety.
In addition, having all periodic inspection and
maintenance done by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer is a prerequisite for validity of the war-
ranty on your vehicle in the event of a claim.
Refer to the separate "Service Booklet" for the
periodic inspection and maintenance items and
intervals.
