o Power steering pump, belt and hos-
es
Check the power steering pump and hoses for leakage and damage. Replace any damaged orleaking parts immediately. Inspect the powersteering belt for evidence of cuts, cracks, exces-sive wear, oiliness and proper tension. Replaceor adjust it if necessary.
6ZF070F1-A o Brake hoses and linesVisually check for proper installation, chafing, cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replaceany deteriorated or damaged parts immediately. 6ZF070G2-A
o Brake fluidCheck brake fluid level in the brake fluid reser- voir. The level should be between "MIN" and"MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. Useonly hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 orDOT 4.
6ZF070B1-A
o Cooling systemCheck the cooling system part, such as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and connections forleakage and damage. Replace any damagedparts. 6ZF070C1-A
o Coolant The coolant should be changed at the intervals specified in the maintenance schedule.

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.

OWNER MAINTENANCE 6-11
Ensure that the vehicle is parked on level ground with the parking brake firmly applied and theengine cool. Remove the level plug from thetransaxle when lubricant should begin to dripfrom the level hole. If the level is low and nolubricant is seen to drip, add the required quantityof lubricant and replace the plug. scribed in the maintenance schedule. It is ofparamount importance that only the specifiedfluid is used when replenishing or changing thefluid. The use of other fluids may irreparablydamage the transaxle and invalidate the manu-facturers warranty. In addition the ingress of dirtor lint may prevent correct functioning of thetransaxle and care must be exercised to preventthe ingress of such matter. NOTE: Basically automatic transaxle fluid is red color.As driving distance increases, the fluid colorturns darkish red gradually. It is normal con-dition and you should not use fluid color as acriterion for replacing the transaxle fluid.You must replace the automatic transaxlefluid in accordance with intervals specified inthe vehicle maintenances schedule in sec-tion 5. CAUTION: The transaxle fluid level must be checkedwith the engine running and at normal oper-ating temperature and therefore care must beexercised to prevent injury occurring throughcontact with rotating or hot parts of the en-gine. G110B03A-AAT Recommended FluidYour Hyundai automatic transaxle is specially designed to operate with DIAMOND ATF SP-
III,
SK ATF SP- III.
Damage caused by a nonspecified fluid is notcovered by your new vehicle limited warranty. G110D02GK-EAT Transaxle fluid level checking The vehicle must be parked on level ground with the parking brake firmly applied and the engine atnormal operating temperature. (Normal operat-ing temperature will only be achieved when thevehicle has been driven for 6 miles or more).With the engine idling and the footbrake applied,the transaxle selector should be moved from the"P" position through to the "L" position and backto the "N" or "P" position.Open the bonnet and remove the transaxle dip-stick, remembering that care must be exercisedto prevent injury occurring through contact withhot or rotating parts of the engine.Wipe the dipstick, replace it fully and promptlyremove it again. The fluid level should be be-tween the upper and lower marks. Fluid needonly be added if the level is at or below the lowermark and must never be increased above the

Use only the approved transaxle lubricant. The recommended lubricants are complete in them-selves and the use of additives is neither re-quired nor recommended. The use of additivesmay invalidate the vehicle warranty.
