ways wash thoroughly after any contact. Keep used oils out of reach of children. It is illegal to pollute drains, water courses and soil. Use only authorized waste collection facilities including civic amenity sites and garages for the disposal of used oil and oil filters. If in doubt, contact the local authority for dis- posal instructions. SG050A1-E ENGINE COOLANT CHECKING AND REPLACING WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot, since the system is pressurized and coolant may be ejected from the radiator resulting in scalding. SG050B1-E Coolant recommendations
Only ethylene glycol based coolant with a corro- sion inhibitor suited to aluminium alloy engine components should be used in the cooling sys- tem. No further additives or inhibitors should be used. The coolant specific gravity should be checked as prescribed in the maintenance sched- ule to ensure adequate frost and corrosion pro- tection. In addition, the engine coolant must be replaced at the specified interval since the corro- sion inhibitor properties deteriorate with time. It is important to note that whilst an increase in the concentration of anti freeze gives an increase in the level of frost protection, a solution which is in excess of 65% anti freeze will result in reduced frost protection and engine overheating. There- fore the recommended concentration of 50% should not be exceeded for general use. The use of methanol based anti freeze com- pounds may result in engine overheating and will invalidate the vehicle warranty. NOTE: It is imperative that vehicles fitted with an air conditioning system have a coolant concen- tration of the recommended strength at all times. The use of the air conditioning system when the cooling system is filled with water only will result in the heater matrix freezing and subsequently bursting.SG050C1-E Engine Coolant Level The engine coolant level may be observed through the side of the plastic coolant reservoir (expansion tank) when the engine is cold. If the level is below the "LOW" mark, add coolant of the correct concentration until the level is between the "LOW" and "Full" marks. If the level falls below the "LOW" mark on a regular basis despite being topped up, consult a Hyundai dealer. SG050D1-E To Change the Engine Coolant The engine coolant should be changed at those intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5. NOTE: Care should be taken to ensure that coolant is not allowed to spill onto the paintwork since the finish may become damaged. If coolant spillage occurs, the affected area should be rinsed thoroughly with water.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and ensure
that the parking brake is firmly applied, and the engine allowed to cool. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS OPERATION WHILST THE ENGINE IS HOT SINCE BURN-ING OR SCALDING MAY RESULT.
2. Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the displaced coolant and position this under the radiator drain tap.

WARNING: Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should never be stored in an unsealed container. The pres- ence of water in the braking system will causevapour locks and increase the possibility of brake fade along with promoting corrosion within the braking system. The brake fluid must be changed at the specified time or mileage interval to ensure continued safe operation of the system. Brake fluid will cause rapid and serious damage to paintwork. If accidental spillage occurs, the affected area must be rinsed with water immediately. Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the eyes or to be ingested and ensure that fluid is safely stored away form the reach of children. SG130A1-C CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID (Not all models)To Check the Clutch Fluid The clutch fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked when performing other under bonnet checks. The system should be checked for leak- age at the same time. Ensure that the clutch fluid level is always be- tween the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir. Fill as required. Fluid loss indicates a leak in the clutch system which should be inspected and repaired immediately.
SG130B2-E Adding Fluid Recommended brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 should be used. The reservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoid contamination from foreign matter or moisture. CAUTION: Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should never be stored in an unsealed container. Do not allow petroleum base fluid to contaminate the brake fluid since damage to the rubber seals of the system may result. WARNING: Brake fluid will cause rapid and serious dam- age to paintwork. If accidental spillage oc- curs, the affected area must be rinsed with water immediately. Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the eyes or to be ingested and ensure that fluid is safely stored away form the reach of children. SG140A1-E AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM MAINTENANCE Condenser Ensure that the condenser is periodically in- spected and that accumulations of dirt, dead insects and leaves etc, are removed to ensure that the efficiency of the system is not impaired. Care must be exercised to ensure that the con- denser fins are not damaged during cleaning.

SG140B1-E Compressor Drive Belt The air conditioning compressor drive belt should be checked to ensure freedom from damage or excessive wear and correct tension. The belt tension is correct when the belt deflects by about 0.3 inches (8 mm) when a force of 98 N is applied to the belt halfway between the compressor and crankshaft pulleys. Adjustment of the belt should be entrusted to a Hyundai dealer.
SG140C1-E Checking the Refrigerant
1. Start the engine and run at idle for several
minutes with the refrigeration system running at the coldest setting.
2. Open the bonnet and inspect the sight glass on the top of the receiver dryer.
3. If the refrigerant charge is insufficient, a flow of bubbles will be observed through the sight glass.
4. If the refrigerant charge is satisfactory, no
bubbles will be observed through the sight glass.
CAUTION: Running the air conditioning system with a low refrigerant level may damage the com- pressor.

SG140D1-E Off Season Maintenance The air conditioning must be run for ten minutes or so weekly during periods when the system would not normally be used to ensure that the compressor and seals are lubricated. If this pre- caution is not observed the compressor seals may become stuck to the compressor shaft and damaged when the system is next used resulting in a loss of refrigerant and damage to the com- pressor.

1. Remove the taping screws on the downside

6-18 NOTE: Grinding noise from power steering pump may be heard immediately after the engine is started in extremely cold condition (below -20°C). In this case, if the noise stops during warm up, there is no abnormal function in the system. This is due to a power steering fluid characteristic in extremely cold conditions. FLUID RECOMMENDATION
Only automatic transmission fluid meeting the specification of PSF-3 should be used in the power steering system.
SG230A1-E POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL The power steering fluid level should be checked daily. To check the power steering fluid level, be sure the ignition is "OFF", then check to make certain that the power steering fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir.
SG250A2-E REPLACING HEADLIGHT BULBS In the event of bulb failure being experienced, ensure that the relative lighting circuit is turned off prior to attempting to replace the bulb. The illustrations on the following pharagraph will as- sist in locating and removing the headlight bulbs. Ensure that the replacement bulb has the same cap configuration and wattage as the original.
SG230B1-E POWER STEERING HOSES Power steering hoses should be checked for damage, deterioration and leakage at each ser- vice.
The engine cooling fan should operate before the temperature gauge reaches the upper portion of the scale and the condenser fan should operate whenever the air conditioning is in use.

1. Allow the bulb to cool. Wear eye protection.
2. Always grasp the bulb by its plastic base, avoid touching the glass.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the bulb
base in the back of the headlight.
4. Remove the dust cover.
5. Push the bulb spring for removing the head- light bulb.
6. Remove the protective cap from the replace- ment bulb and install the new bulb by match-ing the plastic base with the headlight hole. Install the dust cover after retightening the bulb spring and reconnect the power cord.
7. Use the protective cap and carton to dispose
of the old bulb.
8. Check for proper headlight aim.High Beam Low Beam
