2013 Hyundai Veloster Service and Repair Manual
Everything in this factory service and repair manual is written to the 2013 Hyundai Veloster as Hyundai built it, with the model year, engine and trim all lining up, so a clearance or a torque figure you read here is the one that applies to the car in your garage rather than a value borrowed from an adjacent year.

Known issues on the 2013 Veloster. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. One covers the electrical system: high conductive liquid may leak into the Reverse Park Aid Sensor (RPAS), and the resulting electrical short circuit increases the risk of a fire. A second is filed under the hydraulic and antilock brake control system, where an engine compartment fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury. The third covers certain 2013 Veloster cars equipped with 1.6 liter turbo engines, where the engine management software may cause premature ignition (pre-ignition); engine damage can increase the risk of a fire or cause an engine stall. Owners have filed 576 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 147 technical service bulletins.
Whether you are tracing a short in the rear park assist circuit, inspecting the brake hydraulic and antilock control system, or diagnosing a stall on a turbo car, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 2013 Veloster.
