SG020B1-E DAILY OPERATING CHECKSThe following items should be checked on a daily basis or whenever the vehicle is refuelled, which-ever 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 lighting equip-
ment.
o Windscreen wiper and washer operation.
o Horn operation.
o Warning lamp operation.
o Adjustment and cleanliness of mirrors.
o Seat and seat belt adjustment and operation.
o Fluid leakage. The vehicle must not be driven if the daily oper- ating checks indicate that any item of equipmentrelated to the safety or roadworthiness of thevehicle is not functioning correctly. SG030A1-E ENGINE OILThe correct engine oil level is of paramount importance. An excessively high or low oil levelmay result in irreparable damage being sus-tained by the engine. The engine oil level must bechecked on a daily basis or whenever the vehicleis refuelled, whichever occurs sooner.In addition, it is imperative that only an approvedgrade and specification of oil is used to avoid thepossibility of serious engine damage and prema-ture wear. The use of "budget price" oil is a falseeconomy that must be avoided if the maximumreliability and useful life is to be obtained from thevehicle.
SG030B02GK-E Recommended Oil A multi grade oil having a specification which meets A.P.I. specification of SH, SG or above isrecommended. The oil viscosity should be se-lected according to the operating environment ofthe engine by means of the table shown below.The engine oil recommendations are complete inthemselves and the use of additives is neitherrequired nor recommended. The use of engineoil additives may result in invalidation of thevehicle warranty.

SSA6170A
0.12 ~ 0.31 in. (3 ~ 8 mm)
The brake pedal freeplay should be checked with the engine turned off. The pedal to floor clear-ance should be checked with the engine runningand a load of 490 N applied to the pedal. If eithervalue is incorrect, the necessary adjustmentshould be performed by a Hyundai dealer. Pedalto floor clearance: 1.97 in. (50 mm) SG190A1-E DRIVE BELTS The various engine drive belts must be checked for condition, tension and freedom from damageand excessive wear. The tension of a new beltmust be checked after thirty minutes runningfollowing fitment of the new belt to allow for theinitial belt stretch.
SG200A1-E FUSIBLE LINKS
AS60310A
Melted Good
The fusible link prevents damage to the wiring harness in the event of an electrical systemmalfunction. Failure of a fusiblelink is indicativeof a serious overload condition having occurredand therefore the electrical system should bechecked by a Hyundai dealer before a replace-ment link is fitted. WARNING: Under no circumstances should a fusible linkbe replaced with anything other than a newlink of the same rating. The use of higherrated links or other means of connecting thecircuit will create a potential fire hazard.G190A01GK

6-18 NOTE: Grinding noise from power steering pumpmay be heard immediately after the engine isstarted in extremely cold condition (below-20°C). In this case, if the noise stops duringwarm up, there is no abnormal function in thesystem. This is due to a power steering fluidcharacteristic in extremely cold conditions. FLUID RECOMMENDATION
Only automatic transaxle fluid meeting the speci-
fication of PSF-3 or Dexron 2 oil 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 surethe ignition is "OFF", then check to make certainthat the power steering fluid level is between the"MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluidreservoir.
SG250A2-E REPLACING HEADLIGHT BULBSIn the event of bulb failure being experienced, ensure that the relative lighting circuit is turnedoff prior to attempting to replace the bulb. Theillustrations on the following pharagraph will as-sist in locating and removing the headlight bulbs.Ensure that the replacement bulb has the samecap configuration and wattage as the original.
SG230B1-E POWER STEERING HOSESPower steering hoses should be checked for damage, deterioration and leakage at each ser-vice.
The engine cooling fan should operate before thetemperature gauge reaches the upper portion ofthe scale and the condenser fan should operatewhenever the air conditioning is in use.
HGK214 G270A02A-GAT HEADLIGHT BULB Replacement instructions:
