!WARNING:
Do not get under the car when it is supported by the jack! The jack is solely designed for wheel chang- ing and is not intended to supportthe vehicle for other purposes. The use of purpose designed supports is necessary whilst the vehicle israised and the operator is required to get underneath.
Loosen the wheel nuts and remove them with your fingers. slide the wheel off the studs and lay it flat so it cannot roll away. To put the wheel on the hub,pick up the spare tyre, line up the holes with the studs and slide the wheel onto them. If this is difficult, tip the wheelslightly and get the top hole in the wheel lined up with the top stud. Then jiggle the wheel back and forth until thewheel can be slid over the other studs.

D060G02Y-EAT 6. Changing Wheels!WARNING:
Wheels and wheel cover may have sharp edges. Handle them carefully to avoid possible severe injury. Before putting the wheel into place,be sure that there is nothing on the hub or wheel (such as mud, tar, gravel, etc.) that interferes with thewheel from fitting solidly against the hub. If there is, remove it. If there is not good contact on themounting surface between the wheel and hub, the wheel nuts could come loose and cause the loss of awheel. Loss of a wheel may result in loss of control of the vehicle. This may cause serious injury or death. D060G02GK

5ENGINE OIL
SG030A1-E The correct engine oil level is of para-
mount importance. An excessively high or low oil level may result inirreparable damage being sustained by the engine. The engine oil level must be checked on a daily basis orwhenever the vehicle is refuelled, whichever occurs sooner.
In addition, it is imperative that only
an approved grade and specificationof oil is used to avoid the possibility of serious engine damage and prema-ture wear. The use of "budget price" oil is a false economy that must be avoided if the maximum reliability anduseful life is to be obtained from the vehicle.
SG020B1-E The following items should be checked on a daily basis or whenever the vehicle is refuelled, whichever occurssooner.
o Engine oil level.
o Engine 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 equip-ment.
o Windscreen wiper and washer op-
eration.
o Horn operation.
o Warning lamp operation.
o Adjustment and cleanliness of mir- rors.
o Seat and seat belt adjustment and operation.
o Fluid leakage.
The vehicle must not be driven if the daily operating checks indicate that any item of equipment related to the safety or roadworthiness of the ve-hicle is not functioning correctly. DAILY OPERATING CHECKS
G030B02O-EAT Recommended Oil
1. Petrol Engine The engine oil quality should meet the following classification. API SJ, SL or ABOVE, ILSAC GF-3 or ABOVE The oil viscosity should be selected according to the operating environ- ment of the engine by means of thetable shown above. The engine oil recommendations are complete in themselves and the use of additivesis neither required nor recommended. The use of engine oil additives may result in invalidation of the vehiclewarranty.

Engine Oil Level
The engine oil level should be checked
with the engine at normal operating temperature and the vehicle parked upon level ground.
Prior to checking the level, the ve-
hicle should be allowed to stand forseveral minutes after the engine has been switched off to allow the oil todrain back to the sump. Withdraw the dipstick and wipe it with
a clean rag. Replace the dipstick fully and withdraw again when the oil level may be read from the stick.

2.7LNormal oil level is indicated when the
oil is present between the two marks on the stick. It is not necessary to add oil if the level is above the lower mark and in any case, oil must not beadded to the degree that the level exceeds the upper mark. Replace the dipstick fully after checking the level.
WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking the engine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you.
NOTE: SAE 5W-20 (5W-30), ILSAC GF-3 engine oil is preferred regardlessof regional option and engine varia- tion. If SAE 5W-20, ILSAC GF-3 engine oil is not available, sec-ondary recommended engine oil for corresponding temperature range can be used.

ENGINE OIL REPLENISHMENT
If the indicated oil level is at or below the lower mark of the dipstick, oilshould be added until the level is at or below the upper mark. To add oil to the engine, remove the filler cap by rotating in an counter- clockwise direction and pour engine oil into the engine. Before checkingthe level again, allow several minutes for the oil to drain into the sump. Replace the oil filler cap rotating it ina clockwise direction until tight.The quantity of oil required to raisethe level from the minimum to maxi- mum level is approximately 1 litre. 1.6L/2.0L
G350A01A-GAT ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION Function of engine oil Engine oil has the primary function of lubricating and cooling the inside of the engine. Engine oil consumption It is normal that an engine should consume some engine oil while nor- mal driving. The cause of oil con- sumption in a normal engine are asfollows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pis-
tons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall when a piston moves downwards in the cylinder. High negative pressure generated dur-ing engine operation sucks some of the oil into the combustion cham- ber.This oil with some oil of the cylin-der wall is burned by the high tem-perature combustion gases during the combustion process.

Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking the engine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you.

3. Prepare a suitable receptacle to
collect the displaced oil and re- move the drain plug from the sump.
WARNING:
The oil being drained from the
engine will be hot. Care should beexercised to prevent scalding. 6. Install a new oil filter having
smeared the sealing ring with cleanoil and rotating clockwise until the filter contacts the mounting and then a further one half turn. Do notover-tighten. Tightening torque: 1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m
7. Remove the engine oil level dip- stick.
8. Pour the specified quantity of the recom-mended oil into the engine and replace the filler cap. Start theengine and ensure that no oil leaks exist. Turn off the engine and after a couple minutes, recheck the oillevel.
4. When the oil has drained from the
sump, replace the drain plug usinga new gasket ensuring that the plug is not over tightened. Tightening torque: 4.5 ~ 4.0 kgf.m (1.6/2.0L) 4.5 ~ 3.5 kgf.m (2.7L)
5. Remove the oil filter by rotating counterclock-wise, using a propri-etary oil filter removal tool if neces- sary. Note that the oil filter will contain approximately 0.5 litres ofoil and this should be collected in a suitable receptacle. WARNING:
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oils may result inserious skin disorders including dermatitis and cancer. Avoid con- tact with skin as far as possibleand always wash thoroughly after any contact. Keep used oils out of reach of children. It is illegal topollute drains, water courses and soil. Use only authorized waste collection facilities including civic amenity sites and garages for the disposal of used oil and oil filters.If in doubt, contact the local au- thority for disposal instructions.

Coolant recommendations
Only ethylene glycol based coolant with a corrosion inhibitor suited to aluminium alloy engine components should be used in the cooling system.No further additives or inhibitors should be used. The coolant specific gravity should be checked as pre-scribed in the maintenance schedule to ensure adequate frost and corro- sion protection. In addition, the en-gine coolant must be replaced at the specified interval since the corrosion inhibitor properties deteriorate withtime.It is important to note that whilst anincrease in the concentration of anti freeze gives an increase in the level of frost protection, a solution which isin excess of 65% anti freeze will result in reduced frost protection and engine overheating. Therefore therecommended concentration of 50% should not be exceeded for general use. The use of methanol based anti freeze compounds may result in engine over- heating and will invalidate the vehiclewarranty.

ENGINE COOLANT CHECK- ING AND REPLACING
SG050A1-E
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot, since the system is pressurized and coolant may be ejected from the radiator resulting in scalding. NOTE: It is imperative that vehicles fitted
with an air conditioning system have a coolant concentration of the recommended strength at all times. The use of the air condition-ing system when the cooling sys- tem is filled with water only will result in the heater matrix freezingand subsequently bursting.

SPARK PLUGS
G060A01GK-EAT Your engine was originally equipped with platinum-tipped or iridium-tipped spark plugs (2.7L only).Platinum-tipped or iridium-tipped sparkplugs will last longer than conven-tional type spark plugs. Platinum- tipped spark plug can be identified by blue lines on the ceramic shell. NOTE: Do not clean or regap platinum- tipped/iridium-tipped spark plugs.
0.039 ~ 0.043 in. (1.0~1.1 mm)
!WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even whenthe engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan sothat you are not injured by a rotat- ing fan blade. As the engine cool- ant temperature decreases, the fanwill automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.
5. Prepare a suitable quantity of new
engine coolant (refer to section 9) and pour this into the radiator.

6. Start the engine with the radiator
cap still removed and continue to add coolant as the level decreases as air is expelled from the system.When the level remains constant, replace the radiator cap and re- plenish the coolant reservoir.
7. When the engine is hot, check to ensure that no coolant leaks arepresent.

Replacing the Spark Plugs
The spark plugs should be changed at the intervals specified in the ve-hicle maintenance schedule in Sec- tion 5 or whenever engine perfor- mance indicates they should bechanged. Symptoms that suggest poor spark plug performance include en- gine misfiring under load, loss of fueleconomy, poor acceleration, etc. When spark plugs are replaced, al- ways use spark plugs recommendedby Hyundai. The use of other spark plugs can result in loss of perfor- mance, radio interference or enginedamage. TYPE
