Engine oil consumption
It is normal that an engine should consumesome engine oil while normal driving. The cause
of oil consumption in a normal engine are asfollows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston
rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall when a piston moves downwards in the
cylinder. High negative pressure generatedduring engine operation sucks some of the
oil into the combustion chamber.This oil with some oil of the cylinder wall isburned by the high temperature combustion
gases 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. Theengine oil is more consumed under severe
driving conditions such as high speeds andfrequent acceleration and deceleration than
normal driving condition.

o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush the affected areas with water for at least 15minutes and then seek medical assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse out your eyes with water and get medical assistanceas soon as possible. While you are beingdriven to get medical assistance, continueto rinse your eyes by using a sponge or softcloth saturated with water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large quantity of water or milk followed by milk ofmagnesia, eat a raw egg or drink vegetableoil. Get medical assistance as soon aspossible.
While batteries are being charged (either by abattery charger or by the vehicle’s alternator),they produce explosive gases. Always observethese warnings to prevent injuries from occur-ring:

The engine coolant contains an ethylene glycol
anti-corrosion agent. The cylinder head and coolant pump housing are cast aluminium alloy,and periodic changing of the engine coolant isnecessary to prevent corrosion of these parts. Because of the necessity of this anti-corrosion
agent, the coolant must not be replaced withplain water even in summer.
The required concentration of anti-freeze differs
depending on the expected ambient tempera-ture.

A translucent coolant reservoir tank is in the
engine compartment. The coolant level in this tank should be kept
between the "LOW" and "FULL" marks when measured while the engine is warm and idling.
The cooling system is a closed system and
normally the loss of coolant should be veryslight. A noticeable drop in the coolant levelcould indicate leakage.
If this occurs, have the system checked at an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as pos-sible.
If the level should drop below the "LOW" level
on the reservoir tank, add coolant.
Also, if the reservoir tank is completely empty,
remove the radiator cap and add coolant untilthe level reaches the filler neck.
