*

: Check the engine oil level and leak every 500 km (350 miles) or before starting a long trip. The engine oil level should be checked regularly and

maintained properly. Operating with an insufficient amount oil can damage the engine, and such damage is not covered by warranty.

5

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

specification doesn't meet the EN590, it must be replaced more frequently. If there are some important safety matters like fuel flow restriction,

surging, loss of power, hard starting problem etc, replace the fuel filter immediately regardless of maintenance schedule and we recommend

that you consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
