4. When the engine coolant has drained com- pletely, close the drain tap ensuring that this is not over tightened.
5. Prepare a suitable quantity of new engine coolant (refer to section 9) and pour this intothe 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 cool-
ant temperature and may sometimes oper-ate even when the engine is not running.Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the cooling fan so that you are notinjured by a rotating fan blade. As the en-gine coolant temperature decreases, the fanwill automatically shut off. This is a normalcondition. G060A02L-AAT SPARK PLUGS (For Petrol Engine)

3. If the transmission fluid level is low, use a
funnel to add transmission fluid through the dipstick tube until the level reaches the "HOT"range. Do not overfill.
WARNING: The electric engine cooling fan automatical-
ly switches on and off according to engine temperature. Be careful to keep away fromthe fan during this check as it may switch onat any time.
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 move
G110D03Y
Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
than 30cm closer to the ECU or wiring har- ness within the engine room whilst engineis running, since the high currents in theCommon Rail system produce considerablemagnetic fields.
NOTE: Only lint free cloth should be used for wip-
ing the dipstick. The presence of lint within the transmission may cause problems withthe normal function of the transmission.

BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKING CAUTION: Correct operation of the braking system is essential to the safe operation of the vehicleand 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 used in thebraking system. Care should be taken to ob-serve the instructions and precautions printedupon the container. SG120D1-E
Brake Fluid Level
The fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir shouldbe checked periodically. The level should bebetween the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on theside of the reservoir. If the level is at or belowthe "MIN" mark, fluid should be added havingcarefully cleaned the area surrounding the res-ervoir cap to ensure that dirt is not allowed toenter the system. It should be borne in mindthat the brake fluid level will decrease slightlyas the friction linings of the pads and shoesbecome worn and that this is a normal condi-tion. WARNING: Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should never be stored in an unsealed container. Thepresence of water in the braking system willcause vapour locks and increase the possi-bility of brake fade along with promoting

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS 7-1
vehicle may be damaged. You should inspect the exhaust system each time the car is raisedfor lubrication or oil change. To check condition
1. Holes and gas leaks due to corrosion, dam-
age, etc., should be rectified.
2. The joints should be checked for loose con- nections and gas leakage.
3. The hanger rubber and brackets should be checked for damage. DH010B1-E
1. CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM ; For a Petrol Engine
The positive crankcase ventilation system is
employed to prevent air pollution caused by blow-by gases being emitted from the crank-case.
This system supplies fresh air to the crankcase
through the air cleaner. Inside the crankcase,the fresh air mixes with blow-by gases, thenpasses through the PCV valve into the intakesystem.
ZH010C1-E
2. EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CON-
TROL SYSTEM ; For a Petrol Engine
The Evaporative Emission Control System is designed to prevent fuel vapors from escapinginto the atmosphere.
Canister While the engine is inoperative, fuel vaporsgenerated inside the fuel tank are absorbed andstored in the canister. When the engine isrunning, the fuel vapors absorbed in the canis-ter are drawn into the induction system throughthe purge control solenoid valve.

EXHAUST GAS WARNING
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a
potentially toxic gas that is colorless and odor-less. Avoid breathing exhaust gases.
o Do not run the engine in confined areas, such as garages, any longer than neces- sary to move the car in or out.
o Do not drive with the trunk open. An open trunk may draw exhaust gases into the pas-senger compartment. If you must drive withthe trunk open, drive only with all the win-dows wide open and the blower motor onhigh speed.
o If it is necessary to sit in a parked car with the engine running for more than a shortperiod, adjust your heating system to forceoutside air into the car by placing the airselector button of the heater in the FRESHAIR position and mode control in the VENTposition. Set the fan at high speed and thecontrols in any position desired.
Inspect the exhaust system Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of
the exhaust system, the underside or rear of the ZH010A1-E EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS (Not all models) Your Hyundai is equipped with an emission control systems. There are three emission control systems which are as follows. (1) Crankcase emission control system (2) Evaporative emission control system(3) Exhaust emission control system In order to assure the proper function of the emission control system, it is recommendedthat you have your car inspected and main-tained by an authorized Hyundai dealer in ac-cordance with the schedule in this manual.
