6-6 WARNING: The oil being drained from the engine will behot. Care should be exercised to preventscalding.
4. When the oil has drained from the sump,
replace the drain plug using a new washer ensuring that the plug is not over tightened.
Tightening torque :
4.5 ~ 4.0 kgf.m (1.6/2.0L)4.5 ~ 3.5 kgf.m (2.7L)
5. Remove the oil filter by rotating counterclock- wise, using a proprietary oil filter removal toolif necessary. Note that the oil filter will containapproximately 0.5 litres of oil and this shouldbe collected in a suitable receptacle.
6. Install a new oil filter having smeared the sealing ring with clean oil and rotating clock-wise until the filter contacts the mounting andthen a further one half turn. Do not over-tighten. Tightening torque: 1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m.
7. Pour the specified quantity of the recom- mended oil into the engine and replace the filler cap. Start the engine and ensure that nooil leaks exist. Turn off the engine and after acouple minutes, recheck the oil level.
WARNING:Prolonged and repeated contact with usedengine oils may result in serious skin disor-ders including dermatitis and cancer. Avoidcontact with skin as far as possible and al-
G040A02GK-EAT ENGINE OIL AND FILTER REPLACEMENT The engine oil and filter must be changed at the time or mileage interval specified in the mainte-nance schedule. If the vehicle is operated undersevere or adverse conditions, the oil and filtermust be replaced more frequently.To replace the oil and filter, proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that the engine is at normal operating
temperature and park the vehicle on level ground with the parking brake securely ap-plied and the engine turned off.
2. Open the bonnet and remove the oil filler cap.
3. Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the displaced oil and remove the drain plug fromthe sump.
G350A01A-GAT ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION Function of engine oil Engine oil has the primary function of lubricating and cooling the inside of the engine. Engine oil consumption It is normal that an engine should consume some engine oil while normal driving. The cause of oilconsumption in a normal engine are as follows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston
rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall whena piston moves downwards in the cylinder.High negative pressure generated during en-gine operation sucks some of the oil into thecombustion chamber.This oil with some oil of the cylinder wall isburned by the high temperature combustiongases during the combustion process.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly ef- fected by the viscosity and quality of oil,engine rpm and driving condition etc.More engine oil may be consumed undersevere driving conditions such as high speeds,frequent acceleration and deceleration, com-pared to normal driving.

6-8 CAUTION: Sparking plugs must only be cleaned usingpurpose designed equipment. Wire brushingmay damage the centre electrode insulatorcausing mis-firing to occur. Only the correctgrade of sparking plug should be used. Useof an incorrect grade may result in seriousengine damage.
3. With the heater temperature control set to the
"HOT" position, remove the radiator cap andopen the radiator drain tap.
4. When the engine coolant has drained com- pletely, close the drain tap ensuring that thisis not over tightened.
5. Prepare a suitable quantity of new engine coolant (refer to section 9) and pour this intothe radiator.
6. Start the engine with the radiator cap still removed and continue to add coolant as thelevel decreases as air is expelled from thesystem. When the level remains constant,replace the radiator cap and replenish thecoolant reservoir.
7. When the engine is hot, check to ensure that no coolant leaks are present.
WARNING:The cooling fan is controlled by engine cool-ant temperature and may sometimes operateeven when the engine is not running. Useextreme caution when working near the bladesof the cooling fan so that you are not injuredby a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolanttemperature decreases, the fan will automati-cally shut off. This is a normal condition. G060B02GK-EAT SPARKING PLUG REPLACEMENT This operation should only be performed when the engine is cold.
1. Remove the engine rocker cover.NOTE: It is recommended that the spark plug forEngine 2.7L should be changed by an autho-rized Hyundai dealer.
2. Remove plug lead from the sparking plug to
be replaced, pulling the lead by the rubber cap. (Pulling the lead may damage the carbonconductor).
3. Clean around the base of the plug to be removed, and install the plug socket ensuringthat the ceramic insulator does not becomedamaged. Turn the socket counterclockwiseto remove the plug.

WARNING: Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should neverbe stored in an unsealed container. The pres-ence of water in the braking system will causevapour locks and increase the possibility ofbrake fade along with promoting corrosionwithin the braking system. The brake fluidmust be changed at the specified time ormileage interval to ensure continued safeoperation of the system. Brake fluid will causerapid and serious damage to paintwork. Ifaccidental spillage occurs, the affected areamust be rinsed with water immediately. Donot allow brake fluid to come into contactwith the eyes or to be ingested and ensurethat fluid is safely stored away form the reachof 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 bonnetchecks. 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 onthe fluid reservoir. Fill as required. Fluid lossindicates a leak in the clutch system whichshould be inspected and repaired immediately.
SG130B2-E Adding FluidRecommended brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 should be used. The reservoir cap mustbe fully tightened to avoid contamination fromforeign matter or moisture. CAUTION: Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should neverbe stored in an unsealed container. Do notallow petroleum base fluid to contaminatethe brake fluid since damage to the rubberseals 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 withwater immediately. Do not allow brake fluidto come into contact with the eyes or to beingested and ensure that fluid is safely storedaway form the reach of children. SG140A1-E AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMMAINTENANCE Condenser Ensure that the condenser is periodically in- spected and that accumulations of dirt, deadinsects and leaves etc, are removed to ensurethat the efficiency of the system is not impaired.Care must be exercised to ensure that the con-denser fins are not damaged during cleaning.

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. Whilstthe vehicle is fitted with a reduced diameter fillerneck to prevent charging of the fuel tank with aleaded fuel pump nozzle, it is possible that theuse of funnels or jerry cans will permit leaded fuelto be introduced into the fuel tank.The catalyst is intolerant of unburnt fuel andtherefore if an engine misfire condition exists,damage to the catalyst will occur. It is imperativethat if a misfire condition develops, the vehicle isimmediately presented to a Hyundai dealer forrectification. Similarly, the practice of certainignition system diagnosis procedures which in-volve inducing a misfire (cylinder power balancetests for example) may result in catalyst dam-age.For these reasons, it is advisable that the ex-haust gas emission be tested at each routineservice 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 beavoided since unburnt fuel may be enter thecatalyst and result in damage. (Note, it is impos-sible to push or tow start a Hyundai modelequipped with fuel injection since the fuel pumpsafety interlock will prevent the pump from oper-ating under these conditions).Operation of the catalyst involves extremely hightemperatures being attained within the catalyticconvertor, 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 andthe catalyst becomes inoperative, the resultantincrease in core temperature will result in a "meltdown" where the catalyst core will melt andsubsequently may block the exhaust system.Due to the fragile nature of the catalyst element,it is important that damage does not occur whenthe vehicle is raised by means of a garage jack.Care must also be exercised to avoid drivingover road hazards or debris which may causedamage to the catalyst element.

INFORMATION
The vehicle identification number (VIN) is unique to each individual vehicle and is the number(sometimes referred to as chassis number) usedupon the vehicle registration document to iden-tify the vehicle.The VIN will be found stamped upon a plateattached to the engine bulkhead. The engine number is stamped on the engineblock as shown in the drawing. I030A01GK-EAT TYRE PRESSURES In modern high-speed motoring, correct tyre pressures are vitally important. Incorrect tyrepressures can affect vehicle safety by causingreduced adhesion, steering response and tyrefailure through overheating. The tyre pressuremust only be checked when the tyres are cold.The correct tyre pressures are indicated on thelabel affixed to the drivers door pillar and below. Tyre pressures should be increased by 3 psi when the vehicle is driven fully laden or underconditions of sustained high speed motoring. SI030A2-E SNOW TYRES If it is desired to fit snow tyres to the vehicle, it must be ascertained that the original size andload carrying capacity are met by the replace-ment tyres. When using snow tyres, the vehicleshould not be driven at speeds in excess of 60MPH.
