G030A01A-AAT CHECKING THE ENGINE OILEngine oil is essential to the performance and service of the engine. 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.

G160A01A-GAT CHECKING CLUTCH PEDAL FREE-PLAY With the engine off, press lightly on the clutch pedal until you feel a change in resistance. This is the clutch pedal freeplay. The freeplay should be within the limits specified in the illustration. If it is not, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if necessary.
SSA6160A
6 ~ 13 mm (0.24 ~ 0.51 in.)
G170A01A-GAT CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL FREE-PLAY With the engine off, press down on the brake pedal several times to reduce the vacuum in the brake booster. Then, using your hand, press down slowly on the brake pedal until you feel a change in resistance. This is the brake pedal freeplay. The freeplay should be within the limits speci- fied in the illustration. If it is not, have it inspect- ed by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if necessary.
SSA6170A
3 ~ 8 mm (0.12 ~ 0.31 in.)
G150A01A-GAT CHECKING STEERING WHEEL FREEPLAY To check the steering wheel freeplay, stop the car with the wheels pointed straight ahead and gently move the steering wheel back and forth. Use very light finger pressure and be sensitive to changes in resistance that mark the limits of the freeplay. If the freeplay is greater than specified, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if necessary.

8-2 I060A01HP-GAT TIRE ROTATION
I040A02S-GAT
SNOW TIRES If you equip your car with snow tires, they should be the same size and have the same load capacity as the original tires. Snow tires should be installed on all four wheels; other- wise, poor handling may result. Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air pressure than the pressure recommended for the standard tires on the tire label on the driver's door edge, or up to the maximum pressure shown on the tire sidewall whichever is less. Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75 mph)when your car is equipped with snow tires. I050A01HP-AAT
TIRE CHAINS Tire chains should be installed on the rear wheels. Be sure that the chains are installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instruc- tions. To minimize tire and chain wear, do not con-tinue to use tire chains when they are no longer needed. WARNING: When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20 mph). Tires should be rotated every 5,000 km (3,000
miles). If you notice that tires are wearing un- evenly between rotations, have the car checked by a Hyundai dealer so the cause may be corrected.After rotating, adjust the tire pressures and be sure to check wheel nut torque. WARNING: Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply tires un-
der any circumstances. This may cause dan- gerous handling characteristics that may
cause death, serious injury, or property dam- age.
o Lower-than-recommended tire pressures
cause uneven tread wear and poor han-dling.
o Higher-than-recommended tire pressures
increase the chance of damage from im-pacts and cause uneven tread wear.
CAUTION: Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires are cold. That is, after the car has been parked for at least three hours and hasn't been driven more than 1.6 km or one mile since starting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tire each time you check the pressure of other tires.
o Never overload your car. Be especially careful about overloading if you equipyour car with a luggage rack or car top carrier.

I070A01A-AAT TIRE BALANCINGA tire that is out of balance may affect handling and tire wear. The tires on your Hyundai were balanced before the car was delivered but may need balancing again during the years you own the car. Whenever a tire is dismounted for repair, it should be rebalanced before being reinstalledon the car.
I100A01HP-AAT SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS Your Hyundai is delivered with the following: Spare tire and wheel WrenchJackJack handle (Spare Wheel Rod)
I080A01A-AAT TIRE TRACTIONTire traction can be reduced if you drive on worn tires, tires that are improperly inflated or on slippery road surfaces. Tires should be re- placed when tread wear indicators appear. To reduce the possibility of losing control, slow down whenever there is rain, snow or ice on the road. I090A01Y-GAT
WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES
The original tires on your car have tread wearindicators. The tread wear indicators appear when the tread depth is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). The tire should be replaced when these appear as asolid bar across two or more grooves of the tread. Always replace your tires with those of the recommended size. If you change wheels, the new wheel's rim width and offset must meet Hyundai specifications. WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tires is dangerous! Worn-out tires can cause loss of braking effectiveness, steering control and trac- tion. When replacing tires, never mix ra- dial and bias-ply tires on the same car. If
you replace radial tires with bias-ply tires, they must be installed in sets of four.
