DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE4
CHECKING THE ENGINE OILG030A01A-AATEngine 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.
G030C02A-AATTo Check the Oil LevelBefore checking the oil, warm up the engine to
the normal operating temperature and be sure it
is parked on level ground. Turn the engine off.
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.
G030D01A-AATAdding OilIf the oil level is close to or below the "L" mark,
add oil until it reaches the "F" mark. To add oil:
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 quart of oil.
G030C03A
G030D03A G030B01O-AAT
Recommended OilThe engine oil quality should meet the following
classification.
API SJ, SL or ABOVE,
ILSAC GF-3 or ABOVENOTE:o For good fuel economy, SAE 5W-20 (5W-
30), ILSAC GF-3 engine oil is preferred
regardless of regional option and engine
variation.
G030B01JM-U
o If SAE 5W-20, ILSAC GF-3 engine oil is
not available, secondary recommended
engine oil for corresponding temperature
range can be used.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS2
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel tank are
absorbed and stored in the onboard canister.
When the engine is running, the fuel vapors
absorbed in the canister are drawn into the
induction system through the purge control
solenoid valve.Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)The purge control solenoid valve is controlled
by the Engine Control Module (ECM); when
the engine coolant temperature is low during
idling, the PCSV closes so that evaporated fuel
is not taken into the engine. After the engine
warms-up during ordinary driving, the PCSV
opens to introduce evaporated fuel to the
engine.
H010B01A-AAT1. CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEMThe positive crankcase ventilation system is
employed to prevent air pollution caused by
blow-by gases being emitted from the crank-
case. This system supplies filtered fresh air to
the crankcase through the air intake hose.
Inside the crankcase, the fresh air mixes with
blow-by gases, then passes through the PCV
valve into the induction system.
H010A01A-AATYour Hyundai is equipped with an emission
control system to meet all requirements of the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or Cali-
fornia Air Resources Board.
There are three emission control systems
which are as follows.
1) Crankcase Emission Control System
2) Evaporative Emission Control System
3) Exhaust Emission Control System
In order to ensure the proper function of the
emission control systems, it is recommended
that you have your car inspected and main-
tained by an authorized Hyundai dealer in
accordance with the maintenance schedule in
this manual.
H010D01A-AAT3. EXHAUST EMISSION
CONTROL SYSTEMThe Exhaust Emission Control System is a
highly effective system which controls ex-
haust emissions while maintaining good ve-
hicle performace.
H010C01S-AAT2. Evaporative Emission Control (Includ-
ing ORVR: Onboard Refueling Vapor
Recovery) SystemThe Evaporative Emission Control System is
designed to prevent fuel vapors from escaping
into the atmosphere.
(The ORVR system is designed to allow the
vapors from the fuel tank to be loaded into a
canister while refueling at the gas station,
preventing the escape of fuel vapors into the
atmosphere.)

6. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maxi-
mum load in kilograms and pounds
that can be carried by the tire. When
replacing the tires on the vehicle,
always use a tire that has the same
load rating as the factory installed
tire.
7. Uniform Tire Quality Grading
(UTQG):
Tire manufacturers are required to
grade tires based on three perfor-
mance factors: treadwear, traction
and temperature resistance. For
more information, see Uniform Tire
Quality Grading on page 8-13.
I030D01JM-AATTIRE TERMINOLOGY AND DEFINI-
TIONS
Air Pressure: The amount of air inside
the tire pressing outward on the tire.
Air pressure is expressed in pounds
per square inch (psi) or kilopascal
(kPa).
Accessory Weight: This means the
combined weight of optional accesso-
ries. Some examples of optional ac-
cessories are, automatic transmission,
power seats, and air conditioning.
Aspect Ratio: The relationship of a
tire's height to its width.
Belt: A rubber coated layer of cords
that is located between the plies and
the tread. Cords may be made from
steel or other reinforcing materials.
Bead: The tire bead contains steel
wires wrapped by steel cords that hold
the tire onto the rim.
Bias Ply Tire: A pneumatic tire in
which the plies are laid at alternate
angles less than 90 degrees to the
centerline of the tread.Cold Tire Pressure: The amount of
air pressure in a tire, measured in
pounds per square inch (psi) or
kilopascals (kPa) before a tire has
built up heat from driving.
Curb Weight: This means the weight
of a motor vehicle with standard and
optional equipment including the maxi-
mum capacity of fuel, oil and coolant,
but without passengers and cargo.
DOT Markings: A code molded into
the sidewall of a tire signifying that the
tire is in compliance with the U.S.
Department of Transportation motor
vehicle safety standards. The DOT
code includes the Tire Identification
Number (TIN), an alphanumeric desig-
nator which can also identify the tire
manufacturer, production plant, brand
and date of production.
GVWR: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
GAWR FRT: Gross Axle Weight Rat-
ing for the front Axle.
GAWR RR: Gross Axle Weight Rating
for the rear axle.
