Additional Notes

  • Both configurations listed carry a power steering fluid capacity of 1 liter, which is a typical reservoir fill volume for a rack-and-pinion or recirculating ball power steering system in a mid-size SUV of the early 2000s.
  • The 2.0 CRDi 16V 4WD, covering 2002-2005, shares the same 1-liter capacity and 15,000 km/12-month check interval as the 2.7i V6 24V 4WD, which spans 2000-2005.
  • The specified interval is a check interval rather than a full fluid replacement interval, meaning the service action at 15,000 km or 12 months is an inspection of fluid level and condition rather than a drain-and-fill procedure.
  • Both rows are designated under normal use conditions, meaning the 15,000 km/12-month check schedule applies to standard operating environments rather than severe or demanding duty cycles.
  • The Hyundai Santa Fe SM (EU) power steering specifications apply uniformly across a diesel four-cylinder and a petrol V6 configuration, with no variation in either capacity or service interval between the two engine types.
