OWNER MAINTENANCE 6-13
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.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM 7-1
SH010A1-E EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS (Not all models) Depending upon the market for which the vehicle is destined, the emission control system will comprise one or more of the following emission control devices. (1) Crankcase emission control system (2) Evaporative emission control system (3) Exhaust emission control system In order that the proper functioning of the emis- sion control systems may be ensured, it is recommended that the vehicle is inspected and maintained by an authorized Hyundai dealer in accordance with the maintenance schedule in this manual.

CONTROL SYSTEM
SH010B1-E
1. CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
The positive crankcase ventilation system is employed to prevent air pollution caused by blow-by gases being emitted from the crankcase by introducing fresh air to the crankcase through the air cleaner where this mixes with blow-by gases and then passes through the PCV valve into the intake manifold from where it subse- quently enters the combustion chamber and is burned.

3. EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM The exhaust emission control system is a highly effective system which controls exhaust emis- sion while maintaining good vehicle performance.
SH010C1-E
2. EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
The Evaporative Emission Control System is designed to prevent fuel vapours from escaping into the atmosphere through the fuel tank venti- lation system. Whilst the engine is not running, fuel vapours generated inside the fuel tank are absorbed and stored in a charcoal canister. When the engine is started, the vapours stored in the canister are drawn into the induction system through the purge control solenoid valve and are subse- quently burned. The purge control solenoid valve is controlled by the ECU; when the engine coolant temperature is low or the engine is idling, the purge control valve is closed and fuel vapours remain stored in the canister. Under normal running conditions when the engine is warm, the valve opens and the vapours are drawn into the inlet tract and subsequently burned in the combustion cham- ber. SH020A1-E CATALYTIC CONVERTOR OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
JN70010A
Catalytic Converter
Hyundai Coupe models are fitted with catalytic convertors which require special operating con- siderations. The catalytic convertor serves to oxidize certain noxious elements of the exhaust gases leaving the engine to reduce the level of pollutants emitted from the vehicle and, provided that care is exercised to prevent damage, the catalyst will operate efficiently for the life of the vehicle. It is of the utmost importance that the following information is read and understood by the ve-7

hicle operator in order to prevent operational problems arising from damage to the catalyst. Damage to the catalyst will result if contamina- tion occurs through the use of leaded fuel. Whilst the vehicle is fitted with a reduced diameter filler neck to prevent charging of the fuel tank with a leaded fuel pump nozzle, it is possible that the use of funnels or jerry cans will permit leaded fuel to be introduced into the fuel tank. The catalyst is intolerant of unburnt fuel and therefore if an engine misfire condition exists, damage to the catalyst will occur. It is imperative that if a misfire condition develops, the vehicle is immediately presented to a Hyundai dealer for rectification. Similarly, the practice of certain ignition system diagnosis procedures which in- volve inducing a misfire (cylinder power balance tests for example) may result in catalyst dam- age. For these reasons, it is advisable that the ex- haust gas emission be tested at each routine service with a gas analyzer having a Hydrocar- bon measuring facility to ensure continued reli- ability of the catalyst. Push or tow starting of the vehicle is to be avoided since unburnt fuel may be enter the catalyst and result in damage. (Note, it is impos- sible to push or tow start a Hyundai model equipped with fuel injection since the fuel pump safety interlock will prevent the pump from oper- ating under these conditions). Operation of the catalyst involves extremely high temperatures being attained within the catalytic convertor, and although the convertor is fitted
with heat shields, it is important that the vehicleis not parked over combustible or volatile mate- rial which may result in fire. If the above precautions are not adhered to and the catalyst becomes inoperative, the resultant increase in core temperature will result in a "melt down" where the catalyst core will melt and subsequently may block the exhaust system. Due to the fragile nature of the catalyst element, it is important that damage does not occur when the vehicle is raised by means of a garage jack. Care must also be exercised to avoid driving over road hazards or debris which may cause damage to the catalyst element.
