Hyundai Genesis: Owner maintenance / Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
- Check the engine oil level.
- Check coolant level in the engine
coolant reservoir.
- Check the windshield washer fluid
level.
- Check for low or under-inflated
tires.
WARNING
Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the
engine is hot. This may result in
coolant being blown out of the
opening and cause serious
burns and other injuries.
While operating your vehicle:
- Note any changes in the sound of
the exhaust or any smell of
exhaust fumes in the vehicle.
- Check for vibrations in the steering
wheel. Notice if there is any
increased steering effort or looseness
in the steering wheel, or
change in its straight-ahead position.
- Notice if your vehicle constantly
turns slightly or “pulls” to one side
when traveling on smooth, level
road.
- When stopping, listen and check
for unusual sounds, pulling to one
side, increased brake pedal travel
or “hard-to-push” brake pedal.
- If any slipping or changes in the
operation of your transmission
occurs, check the transmission
fluid level.
- Check the automatic transmission
P (Park) function.

lights, including the stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flashers.

or are damaged.
