F070D01A-AAT
o  Manual Transaxle Oil
Inspect the manual transaxle oil according to
the maintenance schedule.
NOTE:If the oil level is low, check for possible leaks
before adding oil. Do not overfill.
F070F01A-AAT
o Brake Hoses and Lines
Visually check for proper installation, chafing,
cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replace
any deteriorated or damaged parts immedi-
ately.
F070E03A-AATo Automatic Transaxle Fluid and Filter
The fluid level should be in the "HOT" range of
the dipstick, after the engine and transaxle are
at normal operating temperature. Check the
automatic transaxle fluid level with the engine
running and the transaxle in neutral, with the
parking brake properly applied. Use GENUINE
HYUNDAI ATF or DIAMOND ATF SP-III or SK
ATF SP-III when adding or changing fluid.
F070C01A-AATo  Coolant
The coolant  should  be  changed at  the intervals
specified in the maintenance schedule.
F060E01A-AATo Timing Belt
Inspect all parts related to the timing belt for
damage and deformation. Replace any dam-
aged parts immediately.
F060J01A-AATo  Spark Plugs
Make sure to install new spark plugs of the
correct heat range.
F060H01A-AAT
o  Air Cleaner Filter
A Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is recom-
mended when the filter is replaced.
F060G01A-AAT
o Vapor Hose and Fuel Filler Cap
The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should be
inspected at those intervals specified in the
maintenance schedule. Make sure that a new
vapor hose or fuel filler cap is correctly re-
placed.
F065F01O-AAT
o Crankcase Ventilation Hose
Inspect the surface of hose for evidence of heat
and/or mechanical damage. Hard and brittle
rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and
excessive swelling indicate deterioration. Par-
ticular attention should be paid to examine that
hose surface nearest to high heat sources,
such as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure that the hose
does not come in contact with any heat source,
sharp edges or moving component which might
cause heat damage or mechanical wear. In-
spect all hose connections, such as clamps and
couplings, to make sure they are secure, and
that no leaks are present. Hose should be
replaced immediately if there is any evidence of
deterioration or damage.
