Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 2.7L V6 require timing belt replacement, and is that covered?
Yes – the 2.7L Delta V6 uses a timing belt that Hyundai recommends replacing at 60,000-mile intervals. This manual includes the full procedure with step-by-step instructions, alignment mark diagrams, and torque specifications for the belt, tensioner pulley, and idler. Water pump replacement at the same service interval is also covered.
Which generation of Santa Fe is included – does this cover the first-gen (SM) or third-gen (DM)?
This manual covers exclusively the second-generation Santa Fe, internally coded CM, spanning model years 2006 through 2012. The SM (first-gen, 2001-2006) and DM (third-gen, 2013+) are separate platforms and are not included here.
Are AWD drivetrain and transfer case procedures included?
Yes. The manual contains complete service procedures for the Santa Fe’s AWD system, including transfer case fluid changes, rear differential service, and diagnosis of the electronic coupling actuator – a known trouble area on high-mileage CM-generation examples.
What format is the manual?
Content is delivered as a combination of PDF and HTML files – no software installation is required. The PDF sections cover the 2.4L, 2.7L petrol, and 2.2L diesel engines, while HTML-formatted files cover the 2.7L, 3.3L, and 3.5L petrol engines. Both formats are fully compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android devices.
