Engine 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 "L" mark, add coolant of thecorrect concentration until the level is be-tween the "L" and "F" marks. If the level fallsbelow the "L" mark on a regular basis despitebeing topped up, consult a Hyundai dealer.

NOTE: It is imperative that vehicles fitted with an
air conditioning system have a coolant concentration of the recommended strengthat all times. The use of the air conditioningsystem when the cooling system is filledwith water only will result in the heatermatrix freezing and subsequently bursting. SG050D1-E
To Change the Coolant
The coolant should be changed at thoseintervals specified in the vehicle maintenanceschedule in Section 5. NOTE: Care should be taken to ensure that cool- ant is not allowed to spill onto thepaintwork since the finish may becomedamaged. If coolant spillage occurs, theaffected area should be rinsed thoroughlywith water.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and en- sure that the parking brake is firmly ap-plied, and the engine allowed to cool. Do not attempt this operation whilst the engine is hot since burning or scaldingmay result.
2. Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the displaced coolant and position this underthe radiator drain tap.
3. With the heater temperature control set to the "HOT" position, remove the radiatorcap and open the radiator drain tap.

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 thisinto the radiator. 6. Start the engine with the radiator cap still
removed and continue to add coolant asthe level decreases as air is expelled fromthe system. When the level remains con-stant, replace the radiator cap and replen-ish the coolant reservoir.
7. When the engine is hot, check to ensure that no coolant leaks are present.
WARNING: The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not run-ning. Use extreme caution when workingnear the blades of the cooling fan so thatyou are not injured by a rotating fanblade. As the engine coolant temperaturedecreases, the fan will automatically shutoff. This is a normal condition.

Prior to installing a sparking plug, the gap between the centre and outer electrodes mustbe checked and adjusted as necessary.Adjustment is facilitated by bending the outerelectrode towards or away from the centreelectrode. Under no circumstances should at-tempts be made to adjust the position of thecentre electrode.
4. Insert the sparking plug into the cylinder head and using a suitable plug socket,slowly rotate the sparking plug, (beingcareful not to cross-thread) until the plugcontacts the seating area. Tighten the plug with plug socket by a further 1/2 to 3/4 of a furn only.
3. Clean around the base of the plug to be
removed, and install the plug socket ensur-ing that the ceramic insulator does not be-come damaged. Turn the socket counter-clockwise to remove the plug.
CAUTION: Sparking plugs must only be cleaned using
purpose designed equipment. Wire brush- ing may damage the centre electrode-insulator causing misfiring to occur. Onlythe correct grade of sparking plug shouldbe used. Use of an incorrect grade mayresult in serious engine damage.

It is ofparamount importance that only the specifiedfluid is used when replenishing or changing thefluid. The use of other fluids may irreparablydamage the transaxle and invalidate the manu-facturers warranty. In addition the ingress of dirtor lint may prevent correct functioning of thetransaxle and care must be exercised to pre-vent the ingress of such matter. NOTE: Basically automatic transaxle fluid is redcolor. As driving distance increases, thefluid color turns darkish red gradually. It isnormal condition and you should not usefluid color as a criterion for replacing thetransaxle fluid.
Ensure that the vehicle is parked on levelground with the parking brake firmly appliedand the engine cool. Remove the level plugfrom the transaxle when lubricant should be-gin to drip from the level hole. If the level islow and no lubricant is seen to drip, add therequired quantity of lubricant and replace theplug.
The manual transaxle lubricant must bechecked and or changed at the intervalsspecified in the maintenance schedule. Onlythose lubricants specified should be used inorder to prevent gear shifting difficulties ortransaxle damage. WARNING: The transaxle lubricant level should only be checked when the engine is cold topreclude the possibility of personal injuryby contact with hot components.
Recommended Oil Use only the approved transaxle lubricant.The recommended lubricants are complete inthemselves and the use of additives is neitherrequired nor recommended. The use of addi-tives may invalidate the vehicle warranty.

checked with the engine running and at normal operating temperature and there-fore care must be exercised to preventinjury occurring through contact withrotating or hot parts of the engine. SG110D2-E
Transaxle fluid level checking
The vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the parking brake firmly applied and theengine at normal operating temperature. (Nor-mal operating temperature will only be achievedwhen the vehicle has been driven for 6 miles ormore).
With the engine idling and the footbrake ap-
plied, the transaxle selector should be movedfrom the "P" position through to the "L" positionand back to the "N" or "P" position.
Open the bonnet and remove the transaxle
dipstick, remembering that care must be ex-ercised to prevent injury occurring throughcontact with hot or rotating parts of the engine.

Recommended Fluid Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is specially designed to operate with DIAMOND ATF SP- III
or SK ATF SP- III.
Damage caused by a nonspecified fluid is notcovered by your new vehicle limited warranty. Wipe the dipstick, replace it fully and promptlyremove it again. The fluid level should bebetween the upper and lower marks. Fluidneed only be added if the level is at or belowthe lower mark and must never be increasedabove the higher mark. If additional fluid isrequired, this should be poured into the trans-mission through the dipstick tube with the aidof a suitable funnel. CAUTION: The automatic transaxle unit is a preci- sion engineered assembly and correctoperation is dependant upon the exclu-sion of dirt and lint from the unit. There-fore, it is imperative that only lint freecloth (eg nylon) is used for wiping thedipstick and that the area around thedipstick is thoroughly clean prior to levelchecking or adding fluid.
