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 counterclockwise direction andpour engine oil into the engine. Before checkingthe level again, allow several minutes for the oilto drain into the sump. Replace the oil filler caprotating it in a clockwise direction until tight.
The quantity of oil required to raise the level
from the minimum to maximum level is approx-imately 1 litre (Petrol Engine)/1.4 litres (DieselEngine). G350A01A-EAT
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
Function of engine oil Engine oil has the primary function of lubricat-
ing and cooling the inside of the engine.
Engine oil consumption It is normal that an engine should consume
some engine oil whilst normal driving.
The causes of oil consumption in a normal
engine are as follows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall when a piston moves downwards in thecylinder.High negative pressure generated duringengine operation sucks some of this oil intothe combustion chamber. This oil with some oil of the cylinder wall is burned by the high temperature combustiongases during the combustion process.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly ef- fected by the viscosity and quality of oil,engine rpm and driving condition etc. More engine oil may be consumed under severe driving conditions such as highspeeds, frequent acceleration and decelera-tion, compared to normal driving.

To replace the oil and filter, proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that the engine is at normal operat- ing temperature and park the vehicle on level ground with the parking brake securelyapplied and the engine turned off.
2. Open the bonnet and remove the oil filler cap.
3. Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the displaced oil and remove the drain plug fromthe sump.
CAUTION: The oil being drained from the engine will be
hot. Care should be exercised to prevent scalding.
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 counter- clockwise, using a proprietary oil filter re- moval tool if necessary. Note that the oilfilter will contain approximately 0.5 litres ofoil and this should be collected in a suitablereceptacle.
6. Install a new oil filter having smeared the sealing ring with clean oil and rotating clock-wise until the filter contacts the mountingand then a further one half turn. Do not over-tighten. Tightening torque: Petrol Engine - 1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.mDiesel Engine - 2.3 ~ 2.5 kgf.m
7. Pour the specified quantity of the recom- mended oil into the engine and replace the filler cap. Start the engine and ensure thatno oil leaks exist. Turn off the engine andafter a couple minutes, recheck the oil level.
WARNING: Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oils may result in serious skin disor-ders including dermatitis and cancer. Avoidcontact with skin as far as possible andalways wash thoroughly after any contact.Keep used oils out of reach of children. It isillegal to pollute drains, water courses andsoil. Use only authorized waste collectionfacilities including civic amenity sites andgarages for the disposal of used oil and oilfilters. If in doubt, contact the local authorityfor disposal instructions.

ENGINE COOLANT CHECKING AND REPLACING
WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot, since the system is pressur-ized and coolant may be ejected from theradiator resulting in scalding. SG050B1-E
Coolant recommendations Only ethylene glycol based coolant with a cor- rosion inhibitor suited to aluminium alloy enginecomponents should be used in the coolingsystem. No further additives or inhibitors shouldbe used. The coolant specific gravity should bechecked as prescribed in the maintenanceschedule to ensure adequate frost and corro-sion protection. In addition, the engine coolantmust be replaced at the specified interval sincethe corrosion inhibitor properties deteriorate withtime. It is important to note that whilst an increase in the concentration of anti freeze gives an in-crease in the level of frost protection, a solutionwhich is in excess of 65% anti freeze will resultin reduced frost protection and engine over-heating. Therefore the recommended concen-tration of 50% should not be exceeded forgeneral use.The use of methanol based anti freeze com-pounds may result in engine overheating andwill invalidate the vehicle warranty.

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 this intothe radiator. 6. Start the engine with the radiator cap still
removed and continue to add coolant as thelevel decreases as air is expelled from thesystem. When the level remains constant,replace the radiator cap and replenish thecoolant reservoir.
7. When the engine is hot, check to ensure that no coolant leaks are present.
WARNING:The cooling fan is controlled by engine cool-
ant temperature and may sometimes oper-ate even when the engine is not running.Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the cooling fan so that you are notinjured by a rotating fan blade. As the en-gine coolant temperature decreases, the fanwill automatically shut off. This is a normalcondition. G060A02L-AAT SPARK PLUGS (For Petrol Engine)

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LUBRI- CANT Transmission lubricant should be changed at
those intervals specified in the vehicle mainte- nance schedule in Section 5.
NOTE: Basically automatic transmission fluid is red
color. As driving distance increases, the fluid color turns darkish red gradually. It isnormal condition and you should not usefluid color as a criterion for replacing thetransmission fluid.
You must replace the automatic transmis-
sion fluid in accordance with intervals speci-fied in the vehicle maintenances schedule insection 5. Recommended Lubricant
Use only MOBIL DEXRON- II. Damage caused
by a nonspecified fluid is not covered by your new vehicle limited warranty. Transmission Fluid Capacity
The fluid capacity of the automatic transmission
is 10.5 litres (Petrol)/ 11.8 litres (Diesel). CAUTION: The transmission fluid level should be
checked when the engine is at normal oper- ating temperature. This means that the en-gine, radiator, exhaust system etc., are veryhot so you should exercise great care not toburn yourself during this procedure. To Check the Transmission Fluid Level
Park the car on level ground with the parking
brake engaged. When the transmission fluid level is checked, the transmission fluid shouldbe at normal operating temperature and theengine idling.
Whilst the engine is idling, apply the brakes and
move the gear selector level from "P" to each ofits other positions — "R", "N", "D", "2", "L" —and then return to "N" or "P". With the enginestill idling:
1. Open the bonnet, being careful to keep hands and clothing clear of any moving parts.
up, add oil slowly until it reaches the properlevel. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the bolt and washer, screw it in with your fingers and then tighten securely withthe wrench.

3. If the transmission fluid level is low, use a
funnel to add transmission fluid through the dipstick tube until the level reaches the "HOT"range. Do not overfill.
WARNING: The electric engine cooling fan automatical-
ly switches on and off according to engine temperature. Be careful to keep away fromthe fan during this check as it may switch onat any time.
WARNING (Diesel only): Never work on injection system with engine
running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injec-tors and high pressure pipes are subject tohigh pressure even after the engine stopped.The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks maycause serious injury, if it touch the body.People using pacemakers should not move
G110D03Y
Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
than 30cm closer to the ECU or wiring har- ness within the engine room whilst engineis running, since the high currents in theCommon Rail system produce considerablemagnetic fields.
NOTE: Only lint free cloth should be used for wip-
ing the dipstick. The presence of lint within the transmission may cause problems withthe normal function of the transmission.
