Demanding driving conditions
Maintenance for vehicles driven under demanding conditions
Not all Hyundai's are operated in the same way. Some driving conditions place more stress and strain on your vehicle than other conditions.
Certain maintenance procedures must be performed more frequently on vehicles normally used under high usage or demanding driving conditions. This will ensure your Hyundai maintains peak operating performance.
Your authorised Hyundai dealership can advise you on the benefits of an Optional Intermediate Service for your vehicle's operating conditions. You are responsible for properly maintaining your Hyundai vehicle in accordance with the vehicle maintenance requirements described in your owner's manual.
The following conditions should be construed as demanding driving conditions:
- A. Repeated short distance driving
- B. Extensive idling
- C. Driving in dusty conditions / rough roads
- D. Driving in very cold conditions
- E. Driving in sandy areas
- F. More than 50% driving in heavy city traffic during hot weather above 32 degrees Celsius
- G. Driving in mountainous areas
