It is suggested that you check the oil level at least once a week in normal use and more often if you are on a trip or driving in severe conditions. G030B03HP-GAT Recommended Oil 1. Gasoline Engine
(1) Select engine oil of the proper SAE viscosity
number according to the atmospheric tem- perature. Recommended viscosity is given in the fol- lowing illustration.

CHANGING THE AIR CLEANER FIL- TER
G070A01HP
The replacement of air cleaner filter is per- formed in the following manner.
1. Unsnap the clips around the cover.
2. When this is done, the cover can be lifted off, the old filter removed and the new filter put in its place.
Genuine Hyundai replacement parts are rec-ommended. CAUTION:
o Operating your vehicle without a proper air cleaner filter in place can result inexcessive engine wear.
o When removing the air cleaner filter, be careful that dust or dirt does not enter
NOTE:
o When replacing the spark plug, genuine
Hyundai parts are recommended.
o It is recommended that the spark plugs be changed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
WARNING: It is recommended that the engine be cool or cold when changing the spark plugs. If the engine is hot, you could burn yourself
G060B01HP-AAT
Replacing the Spark Plugs The spark plugs should be changed at the intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5 or whenever engine per- formance indicates they should be changed. Symptoms that suggest poor spark plug perfor- mance include engine misfiring under load, loss of fuel economy, poor acceleration, etc. When spark plugs are replaced, always use spark plugs recommended by Hyundai. The use of other spark plugs can result in loss of performance, radio interference or engine dam- age.
Recommended Spark Plugs: Type
RC10PYPB4 (CHAMPION) PFR5N-11 (NGK)RC10YC(CHAMPION)BKR5ES (NGK)Remark
Unleaded*
Leaded
*: Platinum coated on the insulated connector, the spark plug or the engine itself.
Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the coolant fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the en- gine coolant temperature decreases, the fan will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition. G060A01HP-GAT SPARK PLUGS (Gasoline Engine Only)
SSA6060A
Your engine was originally equipped with plati- num-tipped spark plugs.Platinum-tipped spark plugs will last longer than
conventional type spark plugs and can be iden- tified by blue lines on the ceramic shell. NOTE: Do not clean or regap platinum-tipped spark plugs.
Unleaded: 1.0 ~ 1.1mm (0.039 ~ 0.043 in.) Leaded : 0.7 ~ 0.8mm (0.028 ~ 0.032 in.)

G090A01HP-AAT FILLING THE WASHER RESERVOIR
G090A01HP
The washer fluid reservoir supplies fluid to the windshield washer system.A good quality washer fluid should be used to fill the washer reservoir. The fluid level should be checked more frequently during inclement weather or whenever the washer system is in more frequent use.The capacity of the washer reservoir is 4.5 liters (4.75 U.S. quarts). CAUTION:
o Radiator antifreeze (engine coolant) should not be used in the washer system because it will damage the car's finish.
o The washer should not be operated if the washer reservoir is empty. This can dam-age the washer fluid pump.

Transmission lubricant in the manual transmis- sion should be checked at those intervals speci- fied in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5. Recommended Oil Use only HYUNDAI GENUINE PARTS MTF 75W/90 (API GL-4) in the manual transmission. Manual Transmission Oil Capacity The oil capacity of the manual transmission is ; Gasoline or Diesel (2.9 CRDi) : 3.2 liters (3.38 U.S. quarts) Diesel (2.5 TCI) : 2.5 liters (2.64 U.S. quarts)
G080A02A-AAT WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
The wiper blades should be carefully inspected from time to time and cleaned to remove accu- mulations of road film or other debris. To clean the wiper blades and arms, use a clean sponge or cloth with a mild soap or detergent and water. If the wipers continue to streak or smear the glass, replace them with genuine Hyundai re- placement parts or their equivalent. CAUTION:
o Do not operate the wipers on dry glass. This can result in more rapid wear of thewiper blades and may scratch the glass.
o Keep the blade rubber out of contact
with petroleum products such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.

G350A01HP-GAT BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM
(FOR DIESEL ENGINE (2.5 TCI))
E090A01HP
The fuel system should be bled to remove air as described in the illustration if the fuel supply is exhausted during travel, when the fuel filter is replaced, or if the vehicle is not used for a long time.
G240A01A-AAT POWER STEERING HOSESIt is suggested that you check the power steer- ing hose connections for fluid leakage at regular intervals. The power steering hoses should be replaced if there is severe surface cracking, pulling, scuffing or worn spots. Deterioration of the hose could cause premature failure.
NOTE: Do not start the engine when the powersteering oil reservoir is empty.
2. Pump the hand pump until there are no more
bubbles in the fuel coming out of the air plug. When doing this, place a cloth around the air plug to prevent the escaping fuel from spew- ing about.
3. Tighten the air bleed bolt when there are no more bubbles in the fuel.
4. Continue pumping until the hand pump be- comes stiff.
5. Finally, check to be sure that there is no leakage of fuel.If in doubt, consult your nearest authorizedHYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING:
(1) Do not smoke or have any other open flame near the vehicle while bleeding the fuel system.
E090A02HP
1. Loosen the air bleed bolt at the top of the fuel
filter with a flat-bladed screwdriver or equiva- lent.
The power steering fluid level should be checked daily. To check the power steering fluid level, be surethe ignition is "OFF", then check to make cer- tain that the power steering fluid level is be- tween the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir. 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 function in the system. If is due to a power steering fluid characteristic in extremely cold condi- tions. Recommended Fluid Use PSF-3 type fluid.

BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM
(FOR DIESEL ENGINE (2.9 CRDi))
The fuel system should be bled to remove air as described in the illustration if the fuel supply is exhausted during travel, when the fuel filter is replaced, or if the vehicle is not used for a long time.
1. Pump the hand prime pump with your hand for one minute(about 20~30 times).
2. Turn the ignition key to the "START" posi- tion and release it 2~3 times shortly until the engine starts.
CAUTION:Do not hold the ignition key in the "START"position for more than 15 seconds. Doing so may cause the engine and the injection pump to damage.
G350A01HP
E090A02HP
2. Operate the hand pump slowly 6 or 7 times in order to force the water out through the drain plug.
3. Tighten the drain plug when water no longer comes out.
4. Loosen the air bleed bolt and bleed the air. (Refer to "Bleeding the fuel system")
5. Check to be sure that the warning lamp
illuminates when the ignition key is turned to "ON", and that it goes off when the engine is started. If in doubt, consult your nearest authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING:
(1) Do not smoke or have any other open flame near the vehicle while bleeding thefuel system.
(2) Be sure to carefully wipe away any water drained out in this manner, because thefuel mixed in the water might be ignited and result in a fire.
G300A01HP-GATREMOVAL OF WATER FROM THE FUEL FILTER (FOR DIESEL ENGINE (2.5 TCI))
E100A01HP
If the fuel filter warning lamp illuminates during driving, it indicates that water has accumulated in the fuel filter. If this occurs, remove the water as described below.
1. Loosen the drain plug at the bottom of the fuel filter.
(2) Be sure to carefully clean away any fuel
which spilled onto nearby parts coming out of the air bleed bolt, because such
accumulations of fuel might ignite andcause a fire.
