G350A01A-GAT 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 while normal driving. The cause 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 the cylinder. High negative pressure generated during engine operation sucks some of the oil into the combustion chamber.This oil with some oil of the cylinder wall is
burned by the high temperature combustion gases during the combustion process.
1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counter-
clockwise.
2. Add oil, then check the level again. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clockwise. The distance between the "F" and "L" marks is equal to about 1 liter (Gasoline Engine)/ Diesel Engine (2.5 TCI)/ 1.4 liters (Diesel Engine (2.9 CRDi)) of oil.

Wait five minutes, then remove the dipstick, wipe it off, fully reinsert the dipstick and with- draw it again. Then note the highest level the oil has reached on the dipstick. It should be be- tween the upper ("F") and lower ("L") range. If the oil level is close to or below the "L" mark, add oil until it reaches the "F" mark. To add oil:

To Check the Coolant Level

Use a high quality ethylene-glycol coolant in a 50/50 mix with water. The engine coolant should be compatible with aluminum engine parts. Additional corrosion inhibitors or additives should not be used. The cooling system must be main- tained with the correct concentration and type of engine coolant to prevent freezing and corro-

8. Start the engine and check to be sure no oil
is leaking from the drain plug or oil filter.
9. Shut off the engine and recheck the oil level. NOTE: Always dispose of used engine oil in anenvironmentally acceptable manner. It is sug- gested that it be placed in a sealed container and taken to a service station for reclama- tion. Do not pour the oil on the ground or put it into the household trash. WARNING: Used motor oil may cause irritation or can- cer of the skin if left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods of time. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm wa- ter as soon as possible after handling used oil. G050A01A-AAT CHECKING AND CHANGING THE EN- GINE COOLANT WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the engine coolant is under pressure and may erupt through the opening if the cap is removed. You could be seriously burned if you do not observe this precaution. Do not remove the radiator cap until the radiator is cool to touch.

ABS Service Reminder Indicator Light (Not all models)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position, the
Anti-Lock Brake System SRI will come on and then go off in a few seconds. If the ABS SRIremains on, comes on while driving, or does notcome on when the key is turned to the "ON"position, this indicates that there may be aproblem with the ABS.
If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by
your Hyundai dealer as soon as possible. Thenormal braking system will still be operational,but without the assistance of the anti-lock brakesystem.
WARNING:
If both ABS SRI and Parking Brake/Brakefluid level warning lights remain "ON" orcome on whilst driving, there may be a prob-
lem with E.B.D. (Electronic Brake Force Dis-tribution). If this occurs, avoid sudden stopsand have your vehicle checked by yourHyundai dealer as soon as possible. B260F01A-AAT
High Beam Indicator Light
The high beam indicator light comes on when-ever the headlights are switched to the highbeam or flash position.
B260D01A-AAT Turn Signal Indicator Lights
The blinking green arrows on the instrument
panel show the direction indicated by the turn signals. If the arrow comes on but does notblink, blinks more rapidly than normal, or doesnot illuminate at all, a malfunction in the turnsignal system is indicated. Your dealer shouldbe consulted for repairs. B260G01A-EAT
Low Oil Pressure Warning Light
CAUTION:
If the oil pressure warning light stays onwhilst the engine is running, serious enginedamage may result. The oil pressure warninglight comes on whenever there is insufficient oil pressure. In normal operation, it should come on when the ignition switch is turnedon, then go out when the engine is started. If the oil pressure warning light stays onwhilst the engine is running, there is a seri-ous malfunction. If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so, turn off the engine and checkthe oil level. If the oil level is low, fill engineoil to the proper level and start the engineagain. If the light stays on with the enginerunning, turn the engine off immediately. Inany instance where the oil light stays onwhen the engine is running, the engineshould be checked by an authorized Hyundaidealer before the car is driven again.B260C01A-EAT
