Hyundai Santa Fe: Maintenance / Owner maintenance
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, we recommend
that having it done by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. ALWAYS follow these precautions
for performing maintenance work:
- Park your vehicle on level ground. Shift the vehicle to P (Park), apply
the parking brake, and press the Engine Start/Stop button to 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.
WARNING
Touching metal parts
Do not touch metal parts (including strut bars) while the engine is operating
or hot. Doing so could result in serious personal injury. Turn the engine off and
wait until the metal parts cool down to perform maintenance work on the vehicle.
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.
You should exercise the utmost care to prevent damage to your vehicle and injury
to yourself whenever performing any maintenance or inspection procedures...
When you stop for fuel:
Check the engine oil level.
Check the coolant level in the engine coolant reservoir or the water-cooled
intercooler coolant reservoir...
Other information:
When the gear is shifted to the R (Reverse) position, the side view mirror(s)
will rotate downwards to aid with driving in reverse.
The position of the side view mirror switch (1) determines whether or not the
mirrors will move:
Left/Right : When either the L (Left) or R (Right) switch is selected, both side
view mirrors will move...
Replacement
