WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
5
6. If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the engine temperature has returned to nor- mal. Then, if coolant has been lost, carefully add coolant to the reservoir(Page 6-8) to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. Ifoverheating happens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assistance.
! CAUTION:
Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soonas possible by a Hyundai dealer.
SPARE TIRE
D040B01TG-GAT Handling the Spare Tire
1. Open the trunk lid.
2. Remove the luggage mat.
3. Take out the tool receptacle.
Spare Tire Pressure
D040A01TG-GAT The following instructions for the FULL SIZE spare tire should be observed: Check inflation pressure as soon as practical after installing the spare tire, and adjust to the specified pressure. The tire pressure should be periodi-cally checked and maintained at the specified pressure while the tire is stored.
Tire Size Inflation PressureFull Size 210 kPa (30 psi)

4. Turn the installation bolt counter- clockwise to remove the spare tire.
5. After replacing the spare tire, install and tighten the bolt firmly with your fingers until there is no more play inthe spare tire.

o Air Cleaner Filter A Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is recommended when filter is replaced. F060J01A-AAT o Spark Plugs Make sure to install new spark plugs of the correct heat range. F070C01A-AAT
o Coolant
The coolant should be changed at the intervals specified in the mainte- nance schedule.
Inspect the hose routing to assure thatthe hoses do not come in contact withany heat source, sharp edges or mov- ing component which might cause heat damage or mechanical wear. Inspectall hose connections, such as clamps and couplings, to make sure they are secure, and that no leaks are present.Hoses should be replaced immedi- ately if there is any evidence of dete- rioration or damage.
F070F01A-AAT
o Brake Hoses and Lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and anyleakage. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts immediately. F070E04A-AAT
o Automatic Transaxle Fluid
The fluid level should be in the "HOT"
range of the dipstick, after the engineand transaxle are at normal operating temperature. Check the automatictransaxle fluid level with the engine running and the transaxle in neutral, with the parking brake properly ap-plied.
Use HYUNDAI GENUINE ATF SP III,
DIAMOND ATF SP III, SK ATF SP III or other brands approved by Hyundai Motor Co., when adding or changingfluid.
F060N02E-AAT
o Valve Clearance
Inspect excessive valve noise and/orengine vibration and adjust if neces- sary. A qualified technician should perform the operation. F070B01A-GAT
o Cooling System
Check the cooling system part, such as radiator, coolant reservoir, hosesand connections for leakage and dam- age. Replace any damaged parts.

The coolant level can be seen on the
side of the plastic coolant reservoir. The level of the coolant should be between the "L" and "F" lines on the reservoir when the engine is warmwith it at idle . If the level is below the "L" mark, add engine coolant to bring it up to "F". If the level is low, inspectfor coolant leaks and recheck the fluid level frequently. If the level drops again, visit your Hyundai dealer for aninspection and diagnosis of the rea- son.

CAUTION:
o Engine coolant can damage the finish of your car. If you spill engine coolant on the car, wash it off thoroughly with clean water.
o The engine in your vehicle has aluminum engine parts and mustbe protected by an ethylene-gly-col base coolant to prevent corro- sion and freezing. And, do not use the hard water. The hard water can cause engine damage from corrosion, overheat-ing or freezing.
!
G050B01A-AAT
Recommended Engine Coolant
Use a high quality ethylene-glycol coolant in a 50/50 mix with water. The engine coolant should be compatible with aluminum engine parts. Addi-tional corrosion inhibitors or additives should not be used. The cooling sys- tem must be maintained with the cor-rect concentration and type of engine coolant to prevent freezing and corro- sion.
CAUTION:
Never allow the concentration of antifreeze to exceed the 60% level or go below the 35% level, or dam-age to the cooling system may result. For proper concentration when adding or replacing the engine coolant, refer to the following table.

CHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING FANS
G220A01A-AAT
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even whenthe engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan, sothat you are not injured by a rotat- ing fan blade. As the engine cool- ant temperature decreases the fanwill automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.
G220B01NF-GAT
Checking Engine Cooling Fan
The engine cooling fan should come on automatically if the engine coolant temperature is high or whenever the air conditioning is in operation.POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
G230A03A-GAT The power steering fluid level should be checked regularly.To check the power steering fluid level,be sure the ignition is "OFF", then check to make certain that the power steering fluid level is between the"MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir.

o When lifting a plastic-cased bat-
tery, excessive pressure on the case may cause battery acid toleak, resulting in personal injury. Lift with a battery carrier or with your hands on opposite corners.
o Never attempt to charge the bat- tery when the battery cables areconnected.
o The electrical ignition system works with high voltage. Never touch these components with the engine running or the ignition switched on.

G290A01TG-GAT
G290A01NF
Before performing aiming adjustment, make sure of the following.
1. Keep all tires inflated to the correct pressure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground and press the front bumper & rear bumper down several times. Place vehicle at a distance of 3m (118 in.) from the test wall.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant,engine oil and fuel, and spare tire,jack, and tools). Have the driver or equivalent weight placed in driver's seat.
Vertical aiming
Horizontal aiming 4. Clean the headlight lenses and turn
on the headlights (Low Beam or High Beam).
5. Open the hood.
6. Draw the vertical line (through the center of each headlight beam pat- tern) and the horizontal line (throughthe center of each headlight beam pattern) on the aiming screen. And then, draw the parallel line at 30 mm (1.18 in.) under the hori- zontal line.
7. Adjust each cut-off line of the low beam to the parallel line with a phillips screwdriver - VERTICAL AIMING.
8. Adjust each cut-off line of the low beam to the each vertical line with a phillips screwdriver - HORIZON-TAL AIMING.
NOTE: Grinding noise from the power steering pump may be heard im-mediately after the engine is started in extremely cold conditions (be- low - 20°C). If the noise stops dur-ing warm up, there is no abnormal function in the system. It is due to a power steering fluid characteristicin extremely cold conditions.
Recommended Fluid Use PSF-3 type fluid. NOTE: Do not start the engine when the power steering oil reservoir is empty. G240A01A-AAT POWER STEERING HOSES It is suggested that you check the power steering hose connections forfluid leakage at regular intervals. The power steering hoses should be re- placed if there is severe surface crack-ing, pulling, scuffing or worn spots. Deterioration of the hose could cause premature failure.
