Small but mighty, the Hyundai Kona is one of newest vehicles in the HMA family, and one that is fun to drive, engaging and comes with a lot of capability as well. Powered by a choice of 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine or a more powerful 1.6-liter turbocharged engine, it is equipped like a subcompact Swiss Army Knife SUV, able to handle nearly every task thrown its way. It can be ordered with Front- or All-Wheel-Drive, and will provide you with years and miles of driving pleasure, but like a child or a pet, it can't do it all by itself. That's where you come in!  Your Hyundai of Hazelwood Kona requires a set maintenance schedule to provide many years of service. Hyundai Motor America has taken care of that with the service schedule found in your owner's manual.

The Hyundai Kona is complete with the company's world famous 10-year/100,000-mile warranty for years and miles of great service. The service needs of your Hazelwood Kona are also in the vehicle's owner's manual. By following it, your Kona will provide you and your family with years of satisfied ownership.Throughout the service cycle, the one constant in servicing your Hyundai Kona is the planned 6,000 mile oil change and tire rotation intervals that will anchor each visit. At the same time Hyundai service mechanics will perform a check of the vacuum hose, serpentine belt and the engine air filter. You should expect to come in every 6,000 miles for scheduled service visits at 6,000, 12,000, 18,000, 24,000, 30,000 miles, and so on.

Along the way, several important service tasks weave in and out between these 6,000 mile intervals. They can include examination of the brake calipers, rotors, pads, lines and hoses. Also on tap are inspections of driveshafts and boots, exhaust pipes and muffler, air conditioning refrigerant, and other components that will keep your Hyundai Kona on the road for many years to come,

Oil changes, tire rotations and more.Getting back to basics, the oil and oil filter change is one of the most basic but also the most important of the regular tasks involving your Kona's upkeep. It's the equivalent of a life blood for your vehicle, (while gasoline will be the food) so you'll understand why it's so important to use a high-quality synthetic motor oil. Your Kona will, of course, operate correctly with conventional motor oil, but why not maximize rather than compromise? Your Hyundai of Hazelwood service technicians recommend the use of a high-quality synthetic motor oil and the benefits that come with it. They include longer life, the ability to stand up to heat and go long in fighting thermal breakdown. After draining the oil, your service mechanic at Hyundai of Hazelwood will install a new oil filter to trap debris before it has a chance to get inside the engine. He then will refill the crankcase with fresh Hyundai-approved synthetic motor oil.

While your Hyundai of Hazelwood service technician has your Kona on the rack, they will also rotate the tires (if scheduled) according to the Kona's Owner's Manual. This will equalize the tire wear for the highest mileage range from your tires. If they do wear out prematurely, don't worry: your Hazelwood Hyundai parts and service department will stock the proper tires for your Kona, As always, your mileage may vary.

Go the distance. Sure, oil changes and tire rotations will play a big part of servicing your new Hyundai Kona. But they aren't the only things your Hyundai service mechanic will be on the lookout for. All-wheel-alignment is the way your service technician will keep your Kona going straight rather than drifting off to the left or the right. The service techs at Hyundai of Hazelwood service recommend an alignment service yearly, or more as necessary. But first, may we suggest a tire balancing and rotation, before getting aligned? You will thank us later. We promise!


Stopping power: Your Hyundai Kona is equipped with a top-flight braking system that is designed to keep you and your car safe within the realm of physics. The brakes on your Hazelwood Kona are so critical that they should be inspected every time you have your oil changed. If you hear a squeaking noise occurring when applying the brakes, that's a signal that time's up.  Metal to metal contact comes next, and means a high-dollar repair job is not too long after that. At the first peep, have them changed! DO NOT WAIT for the next oil change to take them in! The dollars you save may be your own.

When you get there, our expert service technicians will examine conditions to see if it's time for a change.  We always recommend erring on the side of caution and changing them out before the metal-to-metal concerto strikes their first notes. By taking a proactive lead on such inspections, rather than be caught when it's too late to do anything about it, the attention to details by your Hyundai Service Technicians ends up saving you money before the problem can really get out of hand, and um, in to wallet.  

Tires: Perfectly matched tires are how your Hyundai Kona gets its good grip. Designed to handle every condition you subject your new SUV to, it's a great practice to insure they are rotated, balanced, properly inflated and aligned in order to achieve the longest life possible. Check your tire tread monthly too! And here's the best part: It will only cost you a penny! Grab a fresh Lincoln head penny and place it head first into the tire tread. If the treads end near Honest Abe's ears or even his neck, you have plenty of tread depth. On the other hand, if the top of this historic fellow's head is visible, your Kona is due for new rubber. The Parts and Service department at Hyundai of Hazelwood will have the exact replacements you will need. As we have said numerous times before, President Lincoln wasn't bald. Your tires shouldn't be either.

Windshield Wipers: Constantly baffling, Windshield Wipers have us flummoxed. How can they end up being worn down when they are hardly getting used? With the wear being caused by either extreme cold or extreme heat, they can be all used up by just sitting out in the elements. Whether it's exposure to extreme cold which makes them brittle and hard, causing them to break, or getting broken down by high heat which can cause them to powder up, after a time. That's why we recommend changing them every six months. Simply cruise to the Hazelwood Hyundai parts and service department for a new set today. If you need to locate us, Google "auto parts near me," and there we will be!

The automatic Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) in your Hyundai Kona is a sealed unit that won't need any maintenance other than a periodic fluid check at the 24,000, 48,000, 72,000 and 96,000 mile marks. If you make it a habit of subjecting your Kona to extreme driving conditions, such as towing or driving at high speeds and on mountainous grades, we would suggest examining the transmission fluid sooner. For best results bring it to the service professionals at Hyundai of Hazelwood, for a quick check today.
