G030A01A-AATCHECKING THE ENGINE OIL
Engine oil is essential to the performance and
service of the engine. It is suggested that you
check the oil level at least once a week in
normal use and more often if you are on a trip
or driving in severe conditions.
G030B01A-AATRecommended Oil
SH, SG or SG/CD (API) multi-grade and fuel
efficient oil is recommended.

G190A01A-AATCHECKING DRIVE BELTSG200A01A-AATCHECKING AND REPLACING
FUSES
Replacing a Fusible Link
Drive belts should be checked periodically for
proper tension and adjusted if necessary. At the
same time, belts should be examined for cracks,
wear, fraying or other evidence of deterioration
and replaced if necessary.
Belt routing should also be checked to be sure
there is no interference between the belts and
other parts of the engine. After a belt is re-
placed, the new belt should be adjusted again
after two or three weeks to eliminate slack
resulting from initial stretching after use.A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits
from the battery are ever overloaded, thus pre-
venting damage to the entire wiring harness.
(This could be caused by a short in the system
drawing too much current.) If this ever happens,
have a Hyundai dealer determine the cause,
repair the system and replace the fusible link.
The fusible links are located in a relay box for
easy inspection.
CAUTION:When replacing a fusible link, never use
anything but a new fusible link with the
same or lower amperage rating. Never use a
piece of wire or a higher-rated fusible link.
This could result in serious damage and
create a fire hazard.

CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL
CLEARANCE
SSA6180A
1.78 in. (45.1 mm)
You need a helper to check the brake pedal
clearance. With the engine running, have your
helper press down on the brake pedal several
times and then hold it down with a force of about
110 lbs (50 kg, 490 N). The brake pedal clear-
ance is the distance from the top surface of the
brake pedal to the asphalt sheeting under the
floor mat.
If the brake pedal clearance is not within the
limits specified in the illustration, have it in-
spected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted
or repaired if necessary.

G220B01A-AATChecking Engine Cooling Fan
The engine cooling fan should come on auto-
matically if the engine coolant temperature is
high.
G220C01A-AAT
Checking Condenser Cooling Fan
The condenser coolant fan should come on
automatically whenever the air conditioning is
in operation.
G210B02A-AAT
Checking the BatteryKeep the battery clean. Any evidence of corro-
sion around the battery posts or terminals should
be removed using a solution of household bak-
ing soda and warm water. After the battery
terminals are dry, cover them with a light coat-
ing of grease.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:Battery posts, terminals, and related acces-
sories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the state of California
to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
G230A03A-AATPOWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
The power steering fluid level should be checked
regularly. To check the power steering fluid
level, be sure the engine is "OFF", then check
to make certain that the power steering fluid
level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level
markings on the fluid reservoir.

CHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING
FANS
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 the
blades of the coolant fan, so that you are not
injured by a rotating fan blade. As the en-
gine coolant temperature decreases the fan
will automatically shut off. This is a normal
condition.
G210A01A-AATCHECKING THE BATTERY
WARNING:
Batteries can be dangerous! When working
with batteries, carefully observe the follow-
ing precautions to avoid serious injuries.
The fluid in the battery contains a strong solu-
tion of sulfuric acid, which is poisonous and
highly corrosive. Be careful not to spill it on
yourself or the car. If you do spill battery fluid on
yourself, immediately do the following:
o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush the
affected areas with water for at least 15
minutes and then seek medical assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse out your
eyes with water and get medical assistance
as soon as possible. While you are being
driven to get medical assistance, continue
to rinse your eyes by using a sponge or soft
cloth saturated with water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large
quantity of water or milk followed by milk of
magnesia, eat a raw egg or drink vegetable
oil. Get medical assistance as soon as
possible.
While batteries are being charged (either by a
battery charger or by the vehicle’s generator),
they produce explosive gases. Always observe
these warnings to prevent injuries from occur-
