VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS 5-7
6ZF070D1-A
o Manual transaxle oil Inspect the manual transaxle oil according to
the maintenance schedule. NOTE: If the oil level is low, check for possible
leaks before adding oil. Do not overfill.
6ZF070H1-A
o Rear brake drums and linings/ parking brake
Check the rear brake drums and linings for
scoring, burning, leaking fluid, broken parts, and excessive wear. Inspect the parkingbrake system including the parking brakelever and cables. For detailed service proce-dures, refer to the Shop Manual.
6ZF070J1-A
o Brake pads, calipers and rotors Check the pads for excessive wear, discs for
run out and wear, and calipers for fluid leak-age.
6ZF070K1-A
o Exhaust pipe and muffler Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, mufflerand hangers for cracks, deterioration, or dam-age. Start the engine and listen carefully forany exhaust gas leakage. Tighten connec-tions or replace parts as necessary.
F070E03A-AAT
o Automatic transaxle fluid The fluid level should be in the "HOT" range
of the dipstick, after engine and transaxle areat normal operating temperature. Check theAutomatic Transaxle Fluid level with the en-gine running and the transaxle in neutral, withthe parking brake properly applied. Use DIA-MOND ATF SP- III or SK ATF SP- III when
adding or changing fluid. 6ZF070F1-A
o Brake hoses and lines Visually check for proper installation, chafing, cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replaceany deteriorated or damaged parts immediately.
6ZF060H1-A
o Air cleaner filter A Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is recom-
mended when filter is replaced.
6ZF060J1-A
o Spark plugs Make sure to install new spark plugs of the
correct heat range.
6ZF070B1-A
o Cooling system Check the cooling system part, such asradiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and con-nections for leakage and damage. Replaceany damaged parts. 6ZF070G2-A
o Brake fluid Check brake fluid level in the brake fluidreservoir. The level should be between "MIN"and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir.Use only hydraulic brake fluid conforming toDOT 3 or DOT 4.
6ZF070C1-A
o Engine coolant The coolant should be changed at theintervals specified in the maintenance sched-ule.
F060N01E-AAT
o Valve Clearance Inspect excessive valve noise and/or enginevibration and adjust if necessary. A qualifiedtechnician should perform the operation.
Valve Clearance
Intake valves: 0.0067 ~ 0.0091 in. (0.17 ~ 0.23mm)
Exhaust valves: 0.0098 ~ 0.0122 in. (0.25 ~ 0.31mm)

Engine Coolant Level
SG050D1-E
To Change the Engine Coolant The engine coolant should be changed at
those intervals specified in the vehicle main- tenance schedule in Section 5.
NOTE:Care should be taken to ensure that cool-
ant is not allowed to spill onto thepaintwork since the finish may becomedamaged. If coolant spillage occurs, theaffected area should be rinsed thoroughlywith water. The engine coolant level may be observed
through the side of the plastic coolant reservoir(expansion tank) when the engine is cold. If thelevel is below the "LOW" mark, add coolant ofthe correct concentration until the level is be-tween the "LOW" and "Full" marks. If the levelfalls below the "LOW" mark on a regular basisdespite being topped up, consult a Hyundaidealer. 1. Park the vehicle on level ground and en-
sure that the parking brake is firmly ap-plied, and the engine allowed to cool. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS OPERATION WHILST THE ENGINE IS HOT SINCEBURNING OR SCALDING MAY RESULT.
2. Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the displaced coolant and position this under theradiator drain tap.
3. With the heater temperature control set to the "HOT" position, remove the radiator capand open 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 thisinto the 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 coolant temperature and may sometimesoperate even when the engine is not run-ning. Use extreme caution when workingnear the blades of the cooling fan so that

NOTE: It is imperative that vehicles fitted with an
air conditioning system have a coolant concentration of the recommended strengthat all times. The use of the air conditioningsystem when the cooling system is filledwith water only will result in the heatermatrix freezing and subsequently bursting.

dipstick is thoroughly clean prior to level checking or adding fluid.
SG120D1-E
Brake Fluid Level
The fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir
should be checked periodically. The levelshould be between the "MIN" and "MAX"marks on the side of the reservoir. If the levelis at or below the "MIN" mark, fluid should beadded having carefully cleaned the area sur-rounding the reservoir cap to ensure that dirtis not allowed to enter the system. It shouldbe borne in mind that the brake fluid level willdecrease slightly as the friction linings of thepads and shoes become worn and that this isa normal condition.

BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKING CAUTION:
Correct operation of the braking system is
essential to the safe operation of the vehicle and therefore, any maintenance operationsother than those listed below should beentrusted to a Hyundai dealer.
SG120C2-E
Brake Fluid Recommendations Only brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or
DOT 4 specifications or higher may be usedin the braking system. Care should be takento observe the instructions and precautionsprinted upon the container.
Fluid level should be within this range

WARNING: The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may sometimesoperate even when the engine is not run-ning. Use extreme caution when workingnear the blades of the cooling fan so thatyou are not injured by a rotating fan blade.As the engine coolant temperature de-creases, the fan will automatically shutoff. This is a normal condition.
WARNING (Diesel only): Never work on injection system with en-
gine running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump,rail, injectors and high pressure pipes aresubject to high pressure even after theengine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it touch the body. People using pacemak-ers should not move than 30cm closer tothe ECU or wiring harness within theengine room while engine is running,since the high currents in the CommonRail system produce considerable mag-netic fields. Fluid Capacity
The total fluid capacity of the transmission unit
is 6.1 litres (1.6 DOHC)/6.7 litres(1.8 DOHC).

SG130B2-E
Adding Fluid
Recommended brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 should be used. The reservoir capmust be fully tightened to avoid contaminationfrom foreign matter or moisture. CAUTION: Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should never be stored in an unsealed container.Do not allow petroleum base fluid tocontaminate the brake fluid since damageto the rubber seals of the system mayresult. WARNING: Brake fluid will cause rapid and serious damage to paintwork. If accidental spillageoccurs, the affected area must be rinsedwith water immediately. Do not allow brakefluid to come into contact with the eyes or tobe ingested and ensure that fluid is safelystored away form the reach of children.
HFC5005
Gasoline engine
The clutch fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked when performing other un-der bonnet checks. The system should bechecked for leakage at the same time.
G120D02FC
Diesel engine
WARNING: Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should never be stored in an unsealed container.The presence of water in the brakingsystem will cause vapour locks and in-crease the possibility of brake fade alongwith promoting corrosion within the brak-ing system. The brake fluid must bechanged at the specified time or mileageinterval to ensure continued safe opera-tion of the system. Brake fluid will causerapid and serious damage to paintwork. Ifaccidental spillage occurs, the affectedarea must be rinsed with water immedi-ately. Do not allow brake fluid to comeinto contact with the eyes or to be in-gested and ensure that fluid is safelystored away form the reach of children.
G120D02FC
Diesel engine
Ensure that the clutch fluid level is always between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markingson the fluid reservoir. Fill as required. Fluidloss indicates a leak in the clutch systemwhich should be inspected and repaired im-mediately.
