On the Tucson, the time can be changed from the normal am/pm display to the 24 hour reading.
Example: 1.00pm can be changed to 1300.
To do this, you need to press the "R" button for 2.5 ~ 3 secundes (or untill the display changes).
So far, this feature is on the late 2004+ Elantra & Tucson only.

For anyone interested here’s my review of the Tucson. Model Feb 06 Diesel Manual "Arizona"

I bought her in August 06 with 22,000km on the clock and went past 46,000 yesterday, so 24,000 km driven by me in one year.

Overall I’ve been very happy with the car and found her tight enough for city manoeuvres and steady at motorway speeds up to 170 km/hr (in parts of...

On another now defunct forum someone had posted pictures showing where the horn was and how to change it with something else.

Anyone know where it is? Anyone got pictures of how to access it? I have a 2005 4cyl.

Thanks a bunch

Hello all

My air conditioning system on my 2005 Tucson starts to smell musty / mouldy after~ 30 seconds of putting it on. The smell then dissipates a bit. I've taken it to the dealer 2 times and its booked in for the 3rd time next week. So far the dealer has just put 2 of those deodorising 'bombs' in it and it seems to clear it for ~ 3 weeks and then it comes back. I think...

I need to top-up my PS fluid.

What brand of fluid do you use on your system ?

Is the ATF fluid compatible with the PS system ?


Thanks.

I just bought a HD Radio Reciever. It interfaces with the OEM car radio via RCA plugs. However the stock Tucson radio does not have RCA jacks. So a friend suggested a FM modulator. But someone suggested a aux input interface where i unplug the wiring harness from the back of the radio and plug it into the interface then the interface plugs into the back of the radio. I found some at...

I noticed that with 86 octan gas my 07 Tucson drives like crud. I just filled up with super unleaded 91 octane and wow what a difference. I have another car that runs fine with the 86 gas. i guess Hyundais are just picky.

One other question:

who here changes their own oil? I was thinking of doing it myself because i can get to the oil pan pretty easy.my only concern is the...

Hello,

I have a question for all the Tucson owners out there. I have an 05 and the driver side hinge on the rear window busted today. I do not use the window often however today I opened it to throw something in the back and it popped apart and at the same time scratching the paint on the passenger side. Has any one else had this happen? and if so is it a common failure?

My sister has a I4 2.0 l, 2wd 2005 tucson, I had some time without drive her car, but now I`ve noticed that is really hard to make the engine reach more than 3000 revs, at that point is really, really noisy and vibrates even if the car is parked in neutral. It feels like It dont have power enough to accelerate more than that point, I dont remember that the engine did that before. ...

Time for new tires on my Tucson.

What do you people suggest?

Live in Canada so I need a ALL SEASON tire.

What did you pay for your set of 4?

I filled up tonight. When I got back into the car and started it up the gauge only went up to just over 1/2 a tank. I thought it was just that the pump stopped accidentally, so I tried to fill the rest up. Well, when I looked at my receipt, no mistake... it was full.

The car has been awesome and I've never had a problem with it before.

I don't know where to start with...

hello all,

i just bought my new tucson, second hand that is, which came with a build in car kit from Nokia (old version). The car kit is connected to my radio with the mute function enabled but I wanted to remove the car kit so i can use my own bluetooth kit.
After cutting the wires of the phone holder all seems to work fine, but after the next step something went wrong... I cutted...

Hi,

My Tucson, started jerking on taking off, also until i reach a cruising speed the car doesn't have as much power as it used to have.

What could it be? You think it's serious?

Thank you for your help,

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=1]I have a severe leakage issue with my Tucson's sunroof. I was hoping some of the contributors to this forum could check their vehicle's sun-roofs the next time they're going through a car-wash or parked near their garden hose at home. You really need to inspect the sun-roof for these leaks as it doesn't actually drip into the interior of the car, but rather...

After a lot of deliberation, I bought an '05 blue Tucson GL yesterday. I was going to get a Honda Fit, but the $6,000 price difference between a new Fit and this used Tucson was enough to sway me.

Anyhow, I've got a couple questions to which I cannot seem to find answers on Google.

First off, I read in the manual that the parking lights should go off...

HI THERE,

Anybody here knows of a good shop in miami where I can order rear spoilers for my TUC?
I'm from Brazil and this part is really expensive here.

Last night the wipers on my Tucson stopped working. The wiper motor was still running so I knew that it probably was the linkage connecting the wipers. After taking apart the trim to get to the wiper motor. I saw that the linkage had come disconnected from the motor. I reinstalled it and tightened it down. After putting it back together I tested it out. When you click the wiper switch on the...

Today, after a decent rain storm, I noticed water drops on the inside read window of my 2005 Tucson - so I have a leak.

I am pretty sure that the window was closed and locked.

The leak point is top and dead center of the window.

Anyone else have this?

I shall be contacting the dealership tomorrow.

Steve

Hi guys,

Sorry but I'm new in 4x4 Tech , what is the relation between ABS ( Anti lock breaking System),TCS (Traction Control System) ,ESC(Electronic stability Control),

If a car is having ABS & TCS does this conclude that ESC is available ?

I'm a new owner of a Tucson 2008 and i got a leak from the top breaking light, I went to the dealership after 3 day i got it for this problem and they said they fixed it after 3 weak and couple of days rain i got the same problem. Water still coming down in the back window where the breaking light is. Anyone got the same problem?

Hello,

We have an 08 Tucson and just noticed that the heated seats turn on intermittently. We tried turning on the seats then turning them off, and it really didn't do much.

One thing I did notice is that it's warm near the lower back and rear of the seat, and it's just a little warm -- not totally on.

Any thoughts as to what might be causing this?

The last 3 times the dealer changed the engine oil, the dipstick always showed just a little less than half an inch OVER the full line. While some leeway is built in, it can damage the engine and the Hyundai Owners manual specifically states in bold letters DO NOT OVERFILL! The 1st time I drained the excess myself, 2nd time I returned to the dealer and they said it was the auto oil gun, and...

Moderator- let me know if this is better posted in another forum before I second post it, thanks.

I've asked here before and didn't get a fix so I'll try again. The problem is that any time the temperature is below 40F the idle on the 1st start of the day will go to 1600-1800 rpm area and take 5 minutes to get down to 1200 rpm where I'm comfortable putting it in drive. ...

Hi, I am a new member and have not found a similar subject in the search function for this forum. Recently, while on a weekend trip in my wife's 2005 Tucson V6, the engine consistently lost power (felt like it was running on 3 or 4 cylinders, but did not backfire) when the automatic downshifted when trying to maintain speed (about 70-75 mph) going up rather small hills. The same power loss...

Hi All!

I was wondering if anyone here has had any issues with their A/C? I am asking because I noticed last week while driving the Tucson in hot weather, I had the A/C on and I noticed it would blow cold for a little bit then it would blow non cold air, then the compressor would kick in and the air would get cold again. Wanted to see if this is normal behavior on the 2007 Tucson 2.0 or is something about...

Anyone who is curious, I talked to a technician at Valvoline, he told me that Mercon5 is perfectly compatible with all Diamond atf which is used in Hyundais and Mitsubishis including Diamond atf Special M-11, they have tested and used it extensively in their fleet vehicles requiring Diamond atf. Just thought someone would like to know.

Hi everybody,
I will be moving back to Italy after 6 years in the US and I'd really like to bring my 2007 Tucson V6 Limited 4WD with me. Does anybody know if Hyundai cars which are produced for the US market are compatible with european standards (safety, emissions, specs...)?

The purpose of this letter is to bring attention the severe hardships myself and my fiancé have been going through with the 2007 Tucson, not only mechanically but poor customer service as well including being sworn at, hung up on and questioned even for my capability of how I drive my vehicle.

At what service intervals should spark plugs, filters, timing belts etc ?

Many thanks

I am looking to change the drive belt on my wifes 2005 lx. It has the V6. I checked on the Hyundai service site, but it only has the proceedure for the 4 cylinder model. I can see the tensioner I just need to know how to move it to release the tension so I can remove the belt. Thanks in advance. On a side note the dealer wants 149.00 to do it.
