5ENGINE OIL
SG030A1-E The correct engine oil level is of para-
mount importance. An excessively high or low oil level may result inirreparable damage being sustained by the engine. The engine oil level must be checked on a daily basis orwhenever the vehicle is refuelled, whichever occurs sooner.
In addition, it is imperative that only
an approved grade and specificationof oil is used to avoid the possibility of serious engine damage and prema-ture wear. The use of "budget price" oil is a false economy that must be avoided if the maximum reliability anduseful life is to be obtained from the vehicle.
SG020B1-E The following items should be checked on a daily basis or whenever the vehicle is refuelled, whichever occurssooner.
o Engine oil level.
o Engine coolant level.
o Power steering fluid level.
o Brake fluid level.
o Windscreen washer fluid level.
o Battery condition.
o Tyre condition and pressures.
o Operation and cleanliness of all lighting equip-ment.
o Windscreen wiper and washer op-
eration.
o Horn operation.
o Warning lamp operation.
o Adjustment and cleanliness of mir- rors.
o Seat and seat belt adjustment and operation.
o Fluid leakage.
The vehicle must not be driven if the daily operating checks indicate that any item of equipment related to the safety or roadworthiness of the ve-hicle is not functioning correctly. DAILY OPERATING CHECKS
G030B02O-EAT Recommended Oil
1. Petrol Engine The engine oil quality should meet the following classification. API SJ, SL or ABOVE, ILSAC GF-3 or ABOVE The oil viscosity should be selected according to the operating environ- ment of the engine by means of thetable shown above. The engine oil recommendations are complete in themselves and the use of additivesis neither required nor recommended. The use of engine oil additives may result in invalidation of the vehiclewarranty.

SG140D1-E
Off Season Maintenance
The air conditioning must be run for ten minutes or so weekly during peri- ods when the system would not nor- mally be used to ensure that thecompressor and seals are lubricated. If this precaution is not observed the compressor seals may become stuckto the compressor shaft and dam- aged when the system is next used resulting in a loss of refrigerant anddamage to the compressor. SG140B1-E
Compressor Drive Belt The air conditioning compressor drivebelt should be checked to ensurefreedom from damage or excessive wear and correct tension. The belt tension is correct when the belt de-flects by about 0.3 inches (8 mm) when a force of 98 N is applied to the belt halfway between the compressorand crankshaft pulleys. Adjustment of the belt should be entrusted to a Hyundai authorised repairer.

23CHECKING THE FREE-PLAY
SG150A1-E
STEERING WHEEL
Steering wheel freeplay should be checked to ensure that the specifiedvalue is not exceeded. 1.18in. (30 mm)SG160A1-E
CLUTCH PEDAL
The clutch pedal freeplay should be
checked against the specified value. If the freeplay is not correct, the clutch should be adjusted by a Hyundai authorised repairer. 0.24 ~ 0.51 in. (6 ~ 13 mm)
SG170A1-E BRAKE PEDAL The brake pedal freeplay should be checked with the engine turned off.The pedal to floor clearance should be checked with the engine running and a load of 490 N applied to thepedal. If either value is incorrect, the necessary adjustment should be per- formed by a Hyundai authorised re-pairer. Pedal to floor clearance: 1.97 in. (50 mm) 0.12 ~ 0.31 in. (3 ~ 8 mm)

24CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL CLEARANCE
G180A01A-EAT You need a helper to check the brake pedal clearance. With the engine run- ning, have your helper press down onthe brake pedal several times and then hold it down with a force of about 490N (50 kg, 110 lbs). The brakepedal clearance is the distance from the top surface of the brake pedal to the asphalt sheeting under the floormat. If the brake pedal clearance is not within the limits specified in the illustration, have it inspected by yourHyundai authorised repairer and ad- justed or repaired if necessary. 1.78 in.(45.1 mm)
YG190A1-E
CHECKING ENGINE DRIVE BELTS
If a belt is loose, adjust it by:
1. Loosen the adusting bolts just enough so that the components can be moved.
2. Whilst pulling outward on the pry bar or screw driver, test the beltdeflection with your thumb.
3. After tightening the adjusting bolts,
be sure to recheck the belt tension.Overtightening drive belts can cause excessive wear and failure in driven components and belts.
