IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 3-3
WARNING: Whilst the engine is running, keep hands
and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury.
WARNING (Diesel only): Never work on injection system with engine
running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injec-tors and high pressure pipes are subject tohigh pressure even after the engine stopped.The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks maycause serious injury, if it touch the body.People using pacemakers should not movethan 30cm closer to the ECU or wiring har-ness within the engine room while engine isrunning, since the high currents in the Com-mon Rail system produce considerable mag-netic fields.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or coolant is leaking out, stop the engine imme- diately and call the nearest Hyundai dealerfor assistance.
WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot since steam and boiling water may be ejected from the radiator resulting inburns or scalding. YD050A1-E

6. If the cause of the overheating cannot be
found, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if coolant hasbeen lost, carefully remove the radiator capand add water to bring the fluid level in thereservoir up to the base of the radiator fillopening. Fill the coolant expansion tank tothe halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution until it is established that the engine is operating normally. If theengine overheats repeatedly, the advice of aHyundai dealer should be sought.
CAUTION: Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a
leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundaidealer.

ENGINE OIL
The correct engine oil level is of paramount
importance. An excessively high or low oil level may result in irreparable damage being sus-tained by the engine. The engine oil level mustbe checked on a daily basis, whenever thevehicle is refuelled or before starting a long trip,whichever occurs sooner.
In addition, it is imperative that only an ap-
proved grade and specification of oil is used toavoid the possibility of serious engine damageand premature wear. The use of "budget price"oil is a false economy that must be avoided ifthe maximum reliability and useful life is to beobtained from the vehicle.
SG020B1-E
DAILY OPERATING CHECKS The following items should be checked on a
daily basis or whenever the vehicle is refuelled,whichever occurs sooner.
o Engine oil level.
o 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 equipment.
o Windscreen wiper and washer operation.
o Horn operation.
o Warning light operation.
o Adjustment and cleanliness of mirrors.
o Seat and seat belt adjustment and opera- tion.
o Fluid leakage.
The vehicle must not be driven if the daily
operating checks indicate that any item of equip-ment related to the safety or roadworthiness ofthe vehicle is not functioning correctly. G030B01HP-EAT
Recommended Oil
1. Petrol Engine
A multi grade oil having a specification which
meets A.P.I. specification of SG, SG/CD, SH or SH/CD is recommended. The oil viscosity shouldbe selected according to the operating environ-ment of the engine by means of the table shownabove. The engine oil recommendations arecomplete in themselves and the use of addi-tives is neither required nor recommended. Theuse of engine oil additives may result in invali-dation of the vehicle warranty.
NOTE:The use of a 5W-20 multi grade oil is not
recommended for sustained high speed use.

To replace the oil and filter, proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that the engine is at normal operat- ing temperature and park the vehicle on level ground with the parking brake securelyapplied and the engine turned off.
2. Open the bonnet and remove the oil filler cap.
3. Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the displaced oil and remove the drain plug fromthe sump.
CAUTION: The oil being drained from the engine will be
hot. Care should be exercised to prevent scalding.
4. When the oil has drained from the sump, replace the drain plug using a new washer ensuring that the plug is not over tightened. Tightening torque is: 3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m
5. Remove the oil filter by rotating counter- clockwise, using a proprietary oil filter re- moval tool if necessary. Note that the oilfilter will contain approximately 0.5 litres ofoil and this should be collected in a suitablereceptacle.
6. Install a new oil filter having smeared the sealing ring with clean oil and rotating clock-wise until the filter contacts the mountingand then a further one half turn. Do not over-tighten. Tightening torque: Petrol Engine - 1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.mDiesel Engine - 2.3 ~ 2.5 kgf.m
7. Pour the specified quantity of the recom- mended oil into the engine and replace the filler cap. Start the engine and ensure thatno oil leaks exist. Turn off the engine andafter a couple minutes, recheck the oil level.
WARNING: Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oils may result in serious skin disor-ders including dermatitis and cancer. Avoidcontact with skin as far as possible andalways wash thoroughly after any contact.Keep used oils out of reach of children. It isillegal to pollute drains, water courses andsoil. Use only authorized waste collectionfacilities including civic amenity sites andgarages for the disposal of used oil and oilfilters. If in doubt, contact the local authorityfor disposal instructions. SG050A1-E
ENGINE COOLANT CHECKING AND REPLACING
WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot, since the system is pressur-ized and coolant may be ejected from theradiator resulting in scalding. SG050B1-E
Coolant recommendations Only ethylene glycol based coolant with a cor- rosion inhibitor suited to aluminium alloy enginecomponents should be used in the coolingsystem. No further additives or inhibitors shouldbe used. The coolant specific gravity should bechecked as prescribed in the maintenanceschedule to ensure adequate frost and corro-sion protection. In addition, the engine coolantmust be replaced at the specified interval sincethe corrosion inhibitor properties deteriorate withtime. It is important to note that whilst an increase in the concentration of anti freeze gives an in-crease in the level of frost protection, a solutionwhich is in excess of 65% anti freeze will resultin reduced frost protection and engine over-heating. Therefore the recommended concen-tration of 50% should not be exceeded forgeneral use.The use of methanol based anti freeze com-pounds may result in engine overheating andwill invalidate the vehicle warranty.

OWNER MAINTENANCE 6-7
NOTE: It is imperative that vehicles fitted with an
air conditioning system have a coolant con- centration of the recommended strength atall times. The use of the air conditioningsystem when the cooling system is filledwith water only will result in the heatermatrix freezing and subsequently bursting.
SG050C1-E
Coolant Level
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. HPG050D1-E
To Change the Coolant
The coolant should be changed at those inter-
vals specified in the vehicle maintenance sched-ule in Section 5.
NOTE: Care should be taken to ensure that coolant
is not allowed to spill onto the paintwork since the finish may become damaged. Ifcoolant spillage occurs, the affected areashould be rinsed thoroughly with water.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and ensure that the parking brake is firmly applied, and the engine allowed to cool. Do not attempt this operation whilst the engine is hot since burning or scalding mayresult.
2. Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the displaced coolant and position this under theradiator drain tap. NOTE: Petrol Engine Only Before adding the coolant to the radiator,
unscrew the flange bolt for fitting water outlet to escape the excess pressure. And ifthe coolant overflows from the hole whileadding the coolant, screw the bolt and con-tinue to add the coolant.
3. With the heater temperature control set to the "HOT" position, remove the radiator cap and open the radiator drain tap.
