CAUTION:
Personal injury and damage to the vehicle
may occur if jump starting is not per- formed correctly. If any doubt exists as tohow this operation should be performed,seek assistance from qualified personnel. WARNING:
Motor vehicle batteries contain sulphuric
acid and emit hydrogen gas. Protective clothing should be worn and care exer-cised to prevent the acid from coming intocontact with skin or clothing and the ve-hicle. Naked lights should not be permittedin the vicinity of the battery. Care shouldbe exercised to prevent sparks occurringduring connection. If acid accidentallycomes into contact with skin or eyes, theaffected area should immediately be flushed ponents such as the Fuel Injection system
computer and the Automatic Transaxlecomputer. The battery must never be dis-connected whilst the engine is running. SD040A2-E IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS If the temperature gauge indicates overheat- ing:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is
safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto- matic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air condition-ing is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from under the bonnetstop the engine. Do not open the bonnetuntil the coolant has stopped running orthe steaming has stopped. If there is novisible loss of coolant and no steam, leavethe engine running and check to be surethe engine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not missing, check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to besatisfactory, check for coolant leaking fromthe radiator, hoses or under the car. (If theair conditioning had been in use, it isnormal for cold water to be draining fromit).

6-6 the level again, allow several minutes for the oil to drain into the sump. Replace the oil fillercap rotating it in a clockwise direction untiltight. The quantity of oil required to raise the level from the minimum to maximum level is approx-imately 1 litre. The distance between the "F" and "L" marks is equal to about 1 liter(Gasoline Engine)/1.2liter(Diesel Engine) of oil.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly
effected by the viscosity and quality of oil,engine rpm and driving condition etc. The engine oil is more consumed under severe driving conditions such as highspeeds and frequent acceleration and de-celeration than normal driving condition.
ZG030E1-A
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION Function of engine oil
Engine oil has the primary function of lubricat-
ing 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 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 wallwhen a piston moves downwards in thecylinder. High negative pressure generatedduring engine operation sucks some of theoil into the combustion chamber. This oil with some oil of the cylinder wall is burned by the high temperature combustiongases during the combustion process. SG040A1-E

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

Transaxle fluid level checking
The vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the parking brake firmly applied and the engine at normal operating temperature. (Nor-mal operating temperature will only be achievedwhen the vehicle has been driven for 6 miles ormore). With the engine idling and the footbrake ap-
plied, the transaxle selector should be movedfrom the "P" position through to the "L" positionand back to the "N" or "P" position.

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID The automatic transaxle fluid level should be
checked and changed at those intervals pre- 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 pre-vent the ingress of such matter.
CAUTION: The transaxle on fluid level must be checked
with the engine running and at normal oper- ating temperature and therefore care mustbe exercised to prevent injury occurringthrough contact with rotating or hot parts ofthe engine. G110B03A-AAT
Recommended Fluid Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is specially designed to operate with DIAMOND ATF SP- III
or SK ATF SP- III.
Damage caused by a nonspecified fluid is notcovered by your new vehicle limited warranty.
Wipe the dipstick, replace it fully and promptlyremove it again. The fluid level should bebetween the upper and lower marks. Fluidneed only be added if the level is at or belowthe lower mark and must never be increasedabove the higher mark. If additional fluid isrequired, this should be poured into the trans-mission through the dipstick tube with the aidof a suitable funnel. CAUTION: The automatic transaxle unit is a preci-sion engineered assembly and correctoperation is dependant upon the exclu-sion of dirt and lint from the unit. There-fore, it is imperative that only lint freecloth (eg nylon) is used for wiping thedipstick and that the area around the

Ensure that the vehicle is parked on level ground with the parking brake firmly appliedand the engine cool. Remove the level plugfrom the transaxle when lubricant should be-gin to drip from the level hole. If the level islow and no lubricant is seen to drip, add therequired quantity of lubricant and replace theplug. Open the bonnet and remove the transaxledipstick, remembering that care must be exer-cised to prevent injury occurring through con-tact with hot or rotating parts of the engine.
