POWER STEERING HOSES
It is suggested that you check the power steer-
ing hose connections for fluid leakage at regular intervals. The power steering hoses should bereplaced if there is severe surface cracking,scuffing or worn spots. Deterioration of thehose could cause premature failure. NOTE: Grinding noise from the power steering
pump may be heard immediately after the engine is started in extremely cold condi-tions (below - 20°C). If the noise stops dur-ing warm up, there is no abnormal functionin the system. It is due to a power steeringfluid characteristic in extremely cold condi-tions.
Recommended Fluid Use PSF-3 type fluid NOTE: Do not start the engine when the power
steering oil reservoir is empty. G300A01B-GAT
REMOVAL OF WATER FROM THE FUEL FILTER (DIESEL ENGINE)
If the fuel filter warning light illuminates during driving, it indicates that water has accumulatedin the fuel filter. If this occurs, remove the wateras described below.

from jerry cans or by means of a funnel that the fuel being used is unleaded.The use of leaded fuel in this vehicle will result in irreversible pollution of the catalyst ele- ment. Such pollution will prevent correct op- eration of the catalyst and give rise to in- creased operating temperatures leading to the catalyst element melting and restricting the exhaust flow along with an increase in exhaust emission levels. CAUTION: The vehicle warranty will not extend to damage arising from the use of incorrect fuels. Use Diesel Diesel fuel of 52 to 54 cetane is the correct rating to use in Hyundai vehicle. If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer or winter fuel properly according to the following temperature conditions.
o Above 23°F (-5°C) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
o Below 23°F (-5°C) ... Winter type diesel fuel. Watch the fuel level in the tank very carefully: If the engine stops through fuel failure, thecircuits must be completely purged to permit restarting.

UNLEADED FUEL ONLY
Unleaded fuel with a Research Octane Num-ber (RON) of 91 or higher must be used in this vehicle. To prevent accidental charging of the fueltank with leaded fuel, a small diameter filler neck along with a restrictor flap are fitted to ensure that only unleaded fuel pump nozzles may enter the filler neck. However, care must be exercised when refuelling the vehicle tank SB010E1-A GASOLINES FOR CLEANER AIRTo help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai recommends that you use gasolines treated with detergent additives, which help to pre- vent deposit formation in the engine. These gasolines will help the engines run cleaner and the Emission Control System performance.
CAUTION:Do not let any gasoline or water enter thetank. If this happens, the tank should be completely drained and the fuel lines should all be cleaned out. This will stop the fuel pump from becoming contami- nated. Overseas Operation: When the vehicle is to be operated overseas, the vehicle operator should establish that a suitable fuel for satisfactory operation of the vehicle is available.

circuits becoming defective, approximately fifty per cent of the normal braking perfor- mance will be available. If failure of one of the circuits occurs, therequired amount of pedal effort, pedal travel and stopping distance will be increased. Use of the gearbox is recommended to assist in bringing the vehicle to rest. The vehicle must not be driven once brake failure has occurred until the system has been repaired and is functioning normally. The braking system employs a vacuum servo in order that the pedal efforts are reduced. Power for the servo is derived from the engine and therefore, in the event of the engine stopping or the vehicle being towed, pedal efforts will be substantially increased.

PARKING BRAKE/BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING LIGHT
WARNING: In the event of problems being suspected with the braking system, the advice of the nearest Hyundai dealer must be sought before the vehicle is driven. Driving the vehicle with either an electrical or hydrau- lic braking system defect may be danger- ous, resulting in accident or personal in- jury. Warning light operation The parking brake/brake fluid level warning light will be illuminated whenever the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position irrespec- tive of whether or not the parking brake is applied and must be extinguished when the engine starts and the parking brake released. If the warning light fails to extinguish or illumi-nates at any other time, the vehicle must be brought to rest in a safe location and the level of brake fluid in the reservoir checked. If the fluid level is incorrect, fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications should be added. If, after correcting the brake fluid level, the warn- ing light continues to be illuminated, the ad- vice of the nearest Hyundai dealer must be sought before the vehicle is driven again.The Hyundai Matrix is equipped with a diago- nally split dual braking system which will en- sure that in the event of one of the brake
CAUTION: If the drive belt (generator belt) is loose,broken, or missing whilst the vehicle is driving, there may be a serious malfunc- tion, engine could overheat because this belt also drives the water pump.
SB210M1-E CHARGING SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT
The charging system warning light should illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position and should be extinguished when the engine is started. If the light fails to illuminate when the ignition is turned "ON" or fails to extinguish after starting the engine, the nearest Hyundai dealer should be contacted. If the light illuminates whilst the vehicle is being driven, stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so and check the condition of the generator drive belt. If the belt is in place and the tension is satisfactory, the advice of a Hyundai dealer should be sought.
B260B01FC-EAT TAIL GATE OPEN WARNING LIGHT
The tail gate warning light indicates when the tail gate is open or is not fully closed. Ensure that the light has extinguished prior to driving the vehicle. SB2100I-E DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT
The door ajar warning light indicates that a door is not correctly closed. Ensure that the light is extinguished prior to driving the vehicle.
SB210P1-E LOW FUEL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT
The low fuel warning light serves to warn the driver that the remaining fuel quantity is ap- proximately 9 litres and that the vehicle should be refuelled. If the vehicle is driven for an extended period with the low fuel warning light illuminated there exists a possibility that mis- firing due to fuel shortage may occur. This situation must be avoided to prevent damage to the catalyst occurring.

NOTE: The fuel gauge is not intended to give other than an approximate indication of the fuel level and is unsuitable for the purposes of calculating fuel consumption figures. SB215B1-E ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE The engine coolant temperature gauge indi- cates the engine coolant temperature and will, under normal circumstances, give an indica- tion in the "Normal" or centre portion of the scale. Should the indication move into the upper or "Hot" portion of the scale, engine overheating is indicated. Under these circum- stances, the vehicle should be brought to rest as soon as is safe to do so and the engine turned off. Once the engine has cooled some- what, the coolant level and the condition of the generator/water pump drive belt should be checked. If the cause of the overheating can- not be readily established, the assistance of a Hyundai dealer should be sought.

WARNING: The engine cooling system is pressurizedand removal of the radiator cap when the engine is hot may cause hot water and steam to be ejected from the radiator re- sulting in burns and scalding. The radiator cap must only be removed when the en- gine has cooled. Do not add cold water to a hot engine to avoid the possibility of engine damage. The use of plain water in the cooling system is not recommended since the aluminium components of the cooling system require the use of a corro- sion inhibitor found in the recommended Ethylene Glycol type anti freeze solutions.
