SG020B1-E DAILY OPERATING CHECKS The following items should be checked on a daily basis or whenever the vehicleis refuelled, whichever occurs sooner.
o Engine oil level.
o Engine coolant level.
o Power steering fluid level.
o Brake fluid level.
o Windscreen washer fluid level.
o Battery condition.
o Tyre condition and pressures.
o Operation and cleanliness of all light-
ing equipment.
o Windscreen wiper and washer opera- tion.
o Horn operation.
o Warning light operation.
o Adjustment and cleanliness of mir- rors.
o Seat and seat belt adjustment and operation.
o Fluid leakage. The vehicle must not be driven if the daily operating checks indicate that any item of equipment related to thesafety or roadworthiness of the vehicle is not functioning correctly. G030B02A-EAT Recommended Oil
1. Petrol engine A multi grade oil having a specification which meets A.P.I. specification of SGor above is recommended. The oil vis- cosity should be selected according to the operating environment of the engineby means of the table shown in the illustration. The engine oil recommen- dations are complete in themselvesand the use of additives is neither required nor recommended. The use of engine oil additives may result in invali-dation of the vehicle warranty.
G030A01FC-EAT ENGINE OIL The correct engine oil level is of para- mount importance. An excessively highor low oil level may result in irreparable damage being sustained by the engine. The engine oil level must be checkedon a daily basis, whenever the vehicle is refuelled or before starting a long trip, whichever occurs sooner.In addition, it is imperative that only an approved grade and specification of oil is used to avoid the possibility of seri-ous engine damage and premature wear. The use of "budget price" oil is a false economy that must be avoided if themaximum reliability and useful life is to be obtained from the vehicle.

Recommended Oil Use only the approved transaxle lubri- cant. The recommended lubricants are complete in themselves and the use ofadditives is neither required nor recom- mended. The use of additives may invalidate the vehicle warranty.
Transaxle Lubricant Level Checking Ensure that the vehicle is parked on level ground with the parking brake firmly applied and the engine cool. Re-move the level plug from the transaxle when lubricant should begin to drip from the level hole. If the level is low and nolubricant is seen to drip, add the re-
G100B02A-EAT TRANSAXLE FLUID LEVEL CHECKING The vehicle must be parked on level ground with the parking brake firmly applied and the engine at normal oper- ating temperature. (Normal operatingtemperature will only be achieved when the vehicle has been driven for 6 miles or more).
SG110A1-E AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID The automatic transaxle fluid level should be checked and changed at those intervals prescribed in the main-tenance schedule. It is of paramount importance that only the specified fluid is used when replenishing or changingthe fluid. The use of other fluids may irreparably damage the transaxle and invalidate the manufacturers warranty.In addition the ingress of dirt or lint may prevent correct functioning of the transaxle and care must be exercisedto prevent the ingress of such matter.
CAUTION:
The transaxle on fluid level must bechecked with the engine running andat normal operating temperature and therefore care must be exercised to prevent injury occurring throughcontact with rotating or hot parts of the engine.
! G110B03A-AAT Recommended Fluid Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is specially designed to operate with DIA-MOND ATF SP-III or SK ATF SP-III. Damage caused by a nonspecified fluid is not covered by your new vehiclelimited warranty.

With the engine idling and the footbrake applied, the transaxle selector shouldbe moved from the "P" or "N" position through to the "L" position and back to the "N" or "P" position.Open the bonnet and remove the transaxle dipstick, remembering that care must be exercised to prevent in-jury occurring through contact with hot or rotating parts of the engine.
C090A03FC
Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
HTB164 Wipe the dipstick, replace it fully and promptly remove it again. The fluid level should be between the upper and lower marks. Fluid need only be added if the level is at or below the lower markand must never be increased above the higher mark. If additional fluid is re- quired, this should be poured into thetransmission through the dipstick tube with the aid of a suitable funnel. WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by en-gine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when theengine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so that youare not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant tem- perature decreases, the fan will auto-matically shut off. This is a normal condition.

!WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 secondsafter shutting off engine. High pres- sure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes are subject to highpressure even after the engine stopped. The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may cause serious injury,if it touch the body. People using pacemakers should not move than 30cm closer to the ECU or wiringharness within the engine room while engine is running, since the high
