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.

6-12 G110A01E-EAT AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID The automatic transaxle fluid level should be checked and changed at those intervals pre-scribed in the maintenance schedule. 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.
Transaxle Lubricant Level Checking
SSA6100B
only a proprietary screen wash additive should be used and in the concentration recom-mended by the manufacturer. The windscreenwasher reservoir has a total capacity of 3litres.
CAUTION: Engine coolant anti freeze must not be
used in the windscreen washer system since damage to the paintwork may result.
Undiluted windscreen washer additive must
not be allowed to come into contact with thepaintwork. If spillage occurs, flush the af-fected area immediately with water. Do notoperate the windscreen washer for morethan 15 seconds continuously or whenthe reservoir is empty since damage tothe washer pump will result.

You must replace the automatic transaxle fluid in accordance with intervals specifiedin the vehicle maintenances schedule insection 5.
CAUTION: The transaxle on fluid level must be
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.

INDIVIDUAL CIRCUIT FUSES
The fuse box containing the individual circuit
fuses will be found in the backside of multi box located in the right side of driver. The multi boxis removed by pulling lightly and then releasingthe lid. A fuse rating grid will be found on thereverse side of the cover. In the event of fusefailure, the fuse should be replaced with one ofequivalent rating. A fuse removal tool is pro-vided within the fuse box to facilitate replace-ment.
In the event of a replacement fuse failing shortly
after installation a malfunction within the circuitprotected by that fuse is indicated. The circuitshould be checked by a Hyundai dealer at thefirst available opportunity.

The fusible link prevents damage to the wiring harness in the event of an electrical systemmalfunction. Failure of a fusiblelink is indicativeof a serious overload condition having occurredand therefore the electrical system should bechecked by a Hyundai dealer before a replace-ment link is fitted. WARNING: Under no circumstances should a fusible link be replaced with anything other than anew link of the same rating. The use ofhigher rated links or other means of con-necting the circuit will create a potential firehazard.

7. EMISSION
CONTROL SYSTEM
SH010A1-E EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS (Not all models) Depending upon the market for which the ve-hicle is destined, the emission control systemwill comprise one or more of the followingemission control devices. (1) Crankcase emission control system (2) Evaporative emission control system (3) Exhaust emission control system In order that the proper functioning of the emis- sion control systems may be ensured, it isrecommended that the vehicle is inspected andmaintained by an authorized Hyundai dealer inaccordance with the maintenance schedule inthis manual. SH010B1-E 1. CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
The positive crankcase ventilation system is employed to prevent air pollution caused byblow-by gases being emitted from the crank-case by introducing fresh air to the crankcase through the air cleaner where this mixes withblow-by gases and then passes through thePCV valve into the intake manifold from whereit subsequently enters the combustion cham-ber and is burned.
SH010D1-E 3. EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM The exhaust emission control system is a highlyeffective system which controls exhaust emis-sion while maintaining good vehicle perfor-mance.
SH010C1-E
2. EVAPORATIVE EMISSION
CONTROL SYSTEM
The Evaporative Emission Control System is designed to prevent fuel vapours from escap-ing into the atmosphere through the fuel tankventilation system.Whilst the engine is not running, fuel vapoursgenerated inside the fuel tank are absorbedand stored in a charcoal canister. When theengine is started, the vapours stored in thecanister are drawn into the induction systemthrough the purge control solenoid valve andare subsequently burned.The purge control solenoid valve is controlledby the ECU; when the engine coolant tempera-ture is low or the engine is idling, the purgecontrol valve is closed and fuel vapours remainstored in the canister. Under normal runningconditions when the engine is warm, the valveopens and the vapours are drawn into the inlettract and subsequently burned in the combus-tion chamber. SH020A1-E
Catalytic Convertor Operation Precautions; For a gasoline engine Hyundai Matrix models are fitted with catalytic convertors which require special operatingconsiderations. The catalytic convertor servesto oxidize certain noxious elements of theexhaust gases leaving the engine to reduce thelevel of pollutants emitted from the vehicle and,provided that care is exercised to prevent dam-age, the catalyst will operate efficiently for thelife of the vehicle.
