After reaching 120 months or 150,000 miles (240,000 km), continue to follow the prescribed maintenance intervals to ensure your vehicle's longevity and performance.
Additional ConsiderationsIf your Hyundai Accent is frequently used in severe conditions such as short-distance trips, dusty environments, or areas where salt and other corrosive materials are used, consider more frequent servicing to address the extra wear and tear. Regular maintenance not only prolongs the life of your vehicle but also can prevent expensive repairs in the future.
For Hyundai Accent owners interested in DIY maintenance, a comprehensive repair manual is an invaluable tool. It provides detailed instructions for all the tasks listed in the service schedule and more. Performing these maintenance tasks yourself can be a rewarding way to understand your vehicle better and save money on professional services. Whether you’re replacing the air filter or checking the brakes, the manual has all the guidance you need to do the job effectively and safely.
