Oil Pressure Warning Light
!CAUTION:
If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is run-ning, serious engine damage may result. The oil pressure warning light comes on whenever there isinsufficient oil pressure. In normaloperation, it should come on whenthe ignition switch is turned on,then go out when the engine is started. If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine isrunning, there may be a seriousmalfunction. If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so, turn off the engine and check the oil level. Ifthe oil level is low, fill the engine oilto the proper level and start theengine again. If the light stays onwith the engine running, turn the engine off immediately. In any in- stance where the oil light stays onwhen the engine is running, theengine should be checked by anauthorized Hyundai dealer beforethe car is driven again.
Warning Light Operation The parking brake/brake fluid level warning light should come on when theparking brake is applied and the igni-tion switch is turned to "ON" or"START". After the engine is started, the light should go out when the park- ing brake is released.If the parking brake is not applied, thewarning light should come on when theignition switch is turned to "ON" or"START", then go out when the engine starts. If the light comes on at any other time, you should slow the vehicleand bring it to a complete stop in a safelocation off the roadway.The brake warning light indicates thatthe brake fluid level in the brake mas- ter cylinder is low and hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4specifications should be added. Afteradding fluid, if no other trouble is found,the car should be immediately andcarefully driven to a Hyundai dealer for inspection. If further trouble is experi- enced, the vehicle should not be drivenat all but taken to a dealer by aprofessional towing service or someother safe method.
WARNING:
If you suspect brake trouble, haveyour brakes checked by a Hyundaidealer as soon as possible. Drivingyour car with a problem in either the brake electrical system or brake hydraulic system is dangerous, andcould result in a serious injury ordeath.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS 5- 9
F060H01A-AAT
o Air Cleaner Filter
A Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is
recommended when filter is replaced.
F060J01A-AAT
o Spark Plugs
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.
F070C01A-AAT
o Engine Coolant
The coolant should be changed at
the intervals specified in the mainte- nance schedule. F070D01A-AAT
o Manual Transaxle Oil Inspect the manual transaxle oil ac- cording to the maintenance schedule. NOTE: If the oil level is low, check for possible leaks before adding oil. Do not overfill. F070E03A-AAT
o Automatic Transaxle Fluid and
Filter
The fluid level should be in the "HOT" range of the dipstick, after the engineand transaxle are at normal operating temperature. Check the automatic transaxle fluid level with the enginerunning and the transaxle in neutral, with the parking brake properly ap- plied. Use DIAMOND ATF SP-III orSK ATF SP-III when adding or chang- ing fluid.
F060F01A-AAT
o Vacuum, Crankcase Ventila-
tion Hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi- dence of heat and/or mechanical dam-age. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessive swelling indicate deterioration. Partic-ular attention should be paid to exam- ine those hose surfaces nearest to high heat sources, such as the ex-haust manifold.Inspect the hose routing to assurethat the hoses do not come in contact with any heat source, sharp edges or moving component which might causeheat damage or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose connections, such as clamps and couplings, to make surethey are secure, and that no leaks are present. Hoses should be replaced immediately if there is any evidenceof deterioration or damage. F070B01A-GAT
o Cooling System
Check the cooling system part, such
as radiator, coolant reservoir, hosesand connections for leakage and dam-age. Replace any damaged parts.

HTB167A Before checking the oil, warm up the engine to normal operating tempera- ture and be sure your car is parked onlevel ground. Turn the engine off. Wait about five minutes (gasoline en- gine) /Wait about two minutes (diesel engine), then remove the dipstick, wipe it off, fully reinsert the dipstick andwithdraw it again. Then note the high- est level the oil has reached on the dipstick. It should be between the up-per ("FULL") and lower ("LOW") range.

G100B02A-AAT To Check the Maunal Transaxle Fluid Level
G110A01A-AAT CHECKING THE TRANSAXLE FLUID (AUTOMATIC) Transaxle fluid in the automatic transaxle should be checked at those intervals specified in the vehicle main-tenance schedule in Section 5. 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 nonspecifiedfluid is not covered by your new vehicle limited warranty.G110C01TB-GAT Transaxle Fluid Capacity The fluid capacity of the automatic transaxle is 6.1 liters.
G100B01L
Park the car on level ground with the engine off.
1. Using a wrench of the correct size, loosen the oil filler plug by turning it counterclockwise and remove it with your fingers.
2. Use your finger or suitable tool to feel inside the hole. The oil levelshould be at its bottom edge. If it is not, check for leaks before addingoil. To refill the transaxle or bring the oil level up,add oil slowly until it reaches the proper level. Do notoverfill. 3. Replace the plug and washer, screw
it in with your fingers and then tightensecurely with the wrench.
WARNING:
The transaxle fluid level should bechecked when the engine is at nor-mal operating temperature. This means that the engine, radiator, exhaust system etc., are very hot.Exercise great care not to burn your- self during this procedure.
