Not the owner's manual

Many people search for the 2002 Santa Fe owner's manual and need more than it gives. The difference:

• Owner's manual: controls, warning lights, maintenance schedule, fluid types
• Factory repair manual: how to take parts out and put them back, the torque for every bolt, fault codes and complete wiring diagrams

Model year 2002 is part of the first-generation Santa Fe (SM) (2001–2006). Years of the same generation share most procedures; equipment and electrical details still change from year to year, so the manual follows your VIN.
