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 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 light-
ing equipment.
o Windscreen wiper and washer opera- tion.
o Horn operation.
o Warning light 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 vehicle
is not functioning correctly. G030B02A-EAT
Recommended Oil
1. Petrol engine
A multi grade oil having a specification
which meets A.P.I. specification of SG
or above is recommended. The oil vis-
cosity should be selected according to
the operating environment of the engine
by means of the table shown in the
illustration. The engine oil recommen-
dations are complete in themselves
and the use of additives is neither
required nor recommended. The use of
engine oil additives may result in invali-
dation of the vehicle warranty.
G030A01FC-EAT
ENGINE OIL
The correct engine oil level is of para-
mount importance. An excessively high
or low oil level may result in irreparable
damage being sustained by the engine.
The engine oil level must be checked
on a daily basis, whenever the vehicle
is refuelled or before starting a long trip,
whichever occurs sooner.
In addition, it is imperative that only an
approved grade and specification of oil
is used to avoid the possibility of seri-
ous engine damage and premature wear.
The use of "budget price" oil is a false
economy that must be avoided if the
maximum reliability and useful life is to
be obtained from the vehicle.

NOTE:
The use of a 5W-20 multi grade oil is
not recommended for sustained high
speed use.
2. Diesel engine
The engine oil quality should meet the
following classification:
API class: CF-4 or ABOVE
ACEA class: B4 or ABOVE
NOTE:
SAE 0W-30 oil is for extra cold zone
and to be restricted by driving condi-
tion and dealing area. (Especially,
not recommended for sustained high
loaded and high speed operation.) SG030C1-E
Engine Oil Level
Gasoline engine
HTB167
HTB167A
Diesel engine 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 vehicle
should be allowed to stand for several
minutes after the engine has been
switched off to allow the oil to drain
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. Normal 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 be added to the degree that
the level exceeds the upper mark. Re-
place the dipstick fully after checking
the level.

ENGINE OIL REPLENISHMENT
If the indicated oil level is at or below the
lower mark of the dipstick, oil should 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 counterclock-
wise direction and pour engine oil into
the engine. Before checking the level
again, allow several minutes for the oil
to drain into the sump. Replace the oil
filler cap rotating it in a clockwise direc-
tion until tight.
The quantity of oil required to raise the
level from the minimum to maximum
level is approximately 1.2 litre.ZG030E1-E
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 con-
sume some engine oil while normal
driving. The cause of oil consumption in
a normal engine are as follows;
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 down-
wards in the cylinder. High negative
pressure generated during engine
operation sucks some of the oil into
the combustion chamber.
This oil with some oil of the cylinder
wall is burned by the high tempera-
ture combustion gases during the
combustion process.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly
effected by the viscosity and quality
of oil, engine rpm and driving condi-
tion etc.

ENGINE COOLANT CHECKING
AND REPLACING
SG050B1-E
Coolant recommendations 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.
3. Prepare a suitable receptacle to col-
lect the displaced oil and remove the
drain plug from the sump.
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 coun- terclockwise, using a proprietary oil
filter removal tool if necessary. Note
that the oil filter will contain approxi-
mately 0.5 litres of oil and this should
be collected in a suitable receptacle.
6. Install a new oil filter having smeared the sealing ring with clean oil and
rotating clockwise until the filter con-
tacts the mounting and then a further
one half turn. Do not over-tighten CAUTION:
The oil being drained from the en-
gine will be hot. Care should be
exercised to prevent scalding.
! Tightening torque:
Petrol -
1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m
Diesel(RHD) - 2.3 ~ 2.5 kgf.m
7. Pour the specified quantity of the recommended oil into the engine and
replace the filler cap. Start the en-
gine and ensure that no oil leaks
exist. Turn off the engine and after a
couple minutes, recheck the oil level.
WARNING:
Prolonged and repeated contact with
used engine oils may result in seri-
ous skin disorders including derma-
titis and cancer. Avoid contact with
skin as far as possible and always
wash thoroughly after any contact.
Keep used oils out of reach of chil-
dren. It is illegal to pollute drains,
water courses and soil. Use only
authorized waste collection facili-
ties including civic amenity sites
and garages for the disposal of used
oil and oil filters. If in doubt, contact
the local authority for disposal in-
structions.

HTB170A
Diesel engine
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 prescribed in the mainte-
nance schedule to ensure adequate
frost and corrosion protection. In addi-
tion, the engine coolant must be re-
placed at the specified interval since
the corrosion inhibitor properties dete-
riorate with time. It is important to note that whilst an
increase in the concentration of anti
freeze gives an increase in the level of
frost protection, a solution which is in
excess of 65% anti freeze will result in
reduced frost protection and engine
overheating. Therefore the recom-
mended 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 vehicle
warranty.
NOTE:
It is imperative that vehicles fitted
with an air conditioning system have
a coolant concentration of the rec-
ommended strength at all times. The
use of the air conditioning system
when the cooling system is filled
with water only will result in the
heater matrix freezing and subse-
quently bursting.
SG050C1-E
Engine Coolant Level
The engine coolant level may be ob-
served through the side of the plastic
coolant reservoir (expansion tank) when
the engine is cold. If the level is below
the "LOW" mark, add coolant of the
correct concentration until the level is
between the "LOW" and "Full" marks. If
the level falls below the "LOW" mark on
a regular basis despite being topped up,
consult a Hyundai dealer.
SG050D1-E
To Change the engine Coolant
The engine coolant should be changed
at those intervals specified in the ve-
hicle maintenance schedule 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. If coolant spill-
age occurs, the affected area should
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 may result.
2. Prepare a suitable receptacle to col-
lect the displaced coolant and posi-
tion this under the radiator drain tap.
3. With the heater temperature control
set to the "HOT" position, remove
the radiator cap and open the radiator
drain tap. 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 replenish the
coolant reservoir.
7. When the engine is hot, check to ensure that no coolant leaks are
present.
4. When the engine coolant has drained completely, close the drain tap en-
suring that this is not over tightened. WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by en-
gine coolant temperature and may
sometimes operate even when the
engine is not running. Use extreme
caution when working near the
blades of the cooling fan so that you
are not injured by a rotating fan
blade. As the engine coolant tem-
perature decreases, the fan will auto-
matically shut off. This is a normal
condition.
