o Crankcase Ventilation Hoses Inspect the surface of hoses for evi- dence of heat and/or mechanical dam- age. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessiveswelling indicate deterioration. Particu- lar attention should be paid to examin- ing those hose surfaces nearest tohigh heat sources, such as the ex- haust manifold. Inspect the hose routing to assure that the hoses do not come in contact with any heat source, sharp edges or mov-ing component which might cause heat damage or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose connections, such as clampsand 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. F060H01A-AAT

8CHANGING THE OIL AND FIL- TER
G040A04GK-GAT
o The engine oil consumption is
strongly effected by the viscosity and quality of oil, engine rpm and driving condition etc. More engine oil may be consumed under severedriving conditions such as high speeds, frequent acceleration and deceleration, compared to normaldriving condition.
F040A02TB
G040A03E G040A01B
The engine oil and filter should be
changed at those intervals specifiedin the maintenance schedule in Sec- tion 5. If the car is being driven in severe conditions, more frequent oiland filter changes are required.
The procedure for changing the oil
and filter is as follows:
1. Park the car on level ground and
set the parking brake. Start the engine and let it warm up until the needle on the coolant temperature gauge moves above the lowestmark. Turn the engine off and place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto-

To Check the Coolant Level
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 cool. Ifthe level is below the "L" mark, add engine coolant to bring it up between "L" and "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. G050D02A-AAT
To Change the Engine Coolant
The engine coolant should be changed at those intervals specified in the ve-hicle maintenance schedule in Sec- tion 5.
CAUTION:
Engine coolant can damage the finish of your car. If you spill en- gine coolant on the car, wash it off thoroughly with clean water.
!
1. Park the car on level ground, set the parking brake and remove the radiator cap when cool.
2. Be sure your drain receptacle is in place. Open the drain cock on the radiator. Allow all the engine cool-ant to drain from the cooling sys- tem, then securely close the drain cock.
3. Check Section 9 for the capacity of the cooling system in your car.Then, following the manufacturer'sdirections on the engine coolant container, add the appropriate quantity of engine coolant to theradiator. 4. Turn the radiator cap counterclock-
wise without pressing down on it,until it stops. This relieves any pres- sure remaining in the cooling sys- tem. And remove the radiator capby pushing down and turning coun- terclockwise. Now fill the radiator with clean dem- ineralized or distilled water. Con- tinue to add clean demineralized ordistilled water in small quantities until the fluid level stays up in the radiator neck.

G100A04GK-GAT
Transaxle lubricant in the manual
transaxle should be checked at those intervals specified in the vehicle main- tenance schedule in Section 5.
Recommended OilUse only HYUNDAI GENUINE
PARTS MTF 75W/85 (API GL-4) inthe manual transaxle.
Manual Transaxle Oil Capacity5 speed : 2.15L (2.27 U.S. quarts) 6 speed : 2.2L (2.32 U.S. quarts) WARNING:
It is always better to check the transaxle oil level when the engine is cool or cold. If the engine is hot, you should exercise great cautionto avoid burning yourself on hot engine or exhaust parts.
Drain plugG110A01E-AAT Transaxle fluid in the automatic
transaxle should be checked at those intervals specified in the vehicle main- tenance schedule in Section 5.
NOTE: Basically automatic transaxle fluid
is red color. As driving distance increases, the fluid color turns darkish red gradually. It is normal condition and you should not usefluid color as a criterion for replac- ing the transaxle fluid.
You must replace the automatic
transaxle fluid in accordance with intervals specified in the vehiclemaintenances schedule in section 5. CHECKING THE TRANSAXLE FLUID (AUTOMATIC)

!WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Useextreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan, so that you are not injured by arotating fan blade. As the engine coolant temperature decreases, the fan will automatically shut off. Thisis a normal condition. Fluid level should be within this
range

7EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
2
H010A01A-GAT (If Installed) Your Hyundai is equipped with an emission control system to meet all requirements of the Emission prohibi- tion rules of your province.There are three emission control sys-tems which are as follows.
(1) Crankcase emission control sys-
tem
(2) Evaporative emission control sys-
tem
(3) Exhaust emission control systemIn order to assure the proper function of the emission control systems, it isrecommended that you have your car inspected and maintained by an au- thorized Hyundai dealer in accordancewith the maintenance schedule in this manual. EMISSION CONTROL SYS- TEMS
H010B01F-GAT 1. Crankcase Emission Control
System
The positive crankcase ventilation system is employed to prevent air pollution caused by blow-by gases being emitted from the crankcase.This system supplies fresh air to the crankcase through the air cleaner. Inside the crankcase, the fresh airmixes with blow-by gases, then passes through the PCV valve into the induction system.
H010C01F-GAT
2. Evaporative Emission Control
System (If Installed)
The evaporative emission control sys-
tem is designed to prevent fuel va-pors from escaping into the atmo-sphere. H010D01A-AAT
3. Exhaust Emission Control
System
The exhaust emission control system is a highly effective system which controls exhaust emissions while maintaining good vehicle performace.
Canister While the engine is inoperative, fuel vapors generated inside the fuel tank are absorbed and stored in the canis-ter. When the engine is running, the fuel vapors absorbed in the canister are drawn into the induction systemthrough the purge control solenoid valve. Purge Control Solenoid Valve The purge control solenoid valve is controlled by the ECM; when the en- gine coolant temperature is low, and during idling, it closes, so that evapo- rated fuel is not taken into the engine. After engine warm-up, during ordi-nary driving, it opens so as to intro- duce evaporated fuel to the engine.
