C190E01L C195F02TB-EAT TOWING ATTACHMENTS It is strongly recommended that only an Hyundai Approved towing attach-ment is used to ensure that the loadsplaced upon the body structure arecorrectly distributed. The use of a non approved attachment will result in the invalidation of the vehicle warranty.Hyundai towing attachments are de-signed and constructed to ensuremaximum towing performance andease of fitment. A range of accesso- ries including electrical kits are avail- able through the Hyundai authorisedrepairer network. It is of the utmost importance that those areas of the vehicle which are subjected to greater stress during tow- ing are maintained in accordance withthe recommendations given at the endof this book. In addition, the daily oper-ating checks relating to engine oil,transmission oil and tyres must be performed at each refuelling to ensure maximum reliability and safety.
C190E02TB-EAT TRAILER AND CARAVAN TOW- ING
WARNING:
It is not recommended that the ve- hicle be used for towing until thefirst 1,000 miles of Running In hasbeen completed. All Hyundai MA- TRIX models are suited to towing trailers and caravans up to the lim-its indicated on page 2-19. Thismodels fitted with automatictransaxle have a transaxle oil coolerand further transaxle cooling should not be required.

4- 4 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
SE040E1-E BUMPER MAINTENANCE The special material from which the bumpers are manufactured warrantsspecial attention to preserve the ap- pearance of the bumpers. Avoid con- tact with battery electrolyte or brakefluid and ensure that accidental spill- ages are immediately flushed with water.Do not use abrasive cleaning materi- als which may damage the bumpers. Avoid subjecting the bumpers to hightemperatures such as may be encoun- tered in high bake paint ovens.
SE040F1-E ACCIDENT REPAIRERS In the event of the body work sustain- ing damage, the following points should be noted prior to repairers being un- dertaken.If body panels are replaced or repairered, anti corrosion treatment must be applied to the repairer area.The product used must be compatible with those used in manufacture. It is recommended that repairers are en-trusted to a Hyundai authorised re- pairer to ensure that replacement parts used are of the same high quality as those used in manufacture of the ve-hicle and that the correct repairer meth- ods and materials will ensure adequate levels of corrosion protection and thecontinued validity of the Anti Perfora- tion Warranty. SE050A1-E INTERIOR During the winter period, it is possible that the passenger compartment floor- ing may become wet from damp foot- wear or quantities of snow adhering tofootwear. The carpet should not be allowed to remain in this condition since the carpet may begin to create mustysmells and will promote corrosion of the floor pan in addition to the carpet and under felt beginning to rot.
SE050C1-E INTERIOR VALETING The soft trim and carpets should be maintained with the regular use of avacuum cleaner. Heavy soiling should be removed with a dry cleaning agent recommended for this purpose follow-ing the instructions of the product manufacturer. Paint thinner, solvents or other such cleaning materials shouldnot be used since damage to the up- holstery may result. SE050D1-E SEAT BELTS Seat belts should be cleaned only with a mild soap solution. Strong deter- gents, solvens or bleaches may dam- age the belt webbing and thereforereduce the effectiveness of the belt. Belts which display signs of fraying, wear of cut should be replaced.

5- 2 VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
SF020A1-E MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING REQUIREMENTS To ensure the continued reliability and safety of the vehicle, certain routinemaintenance operations are required at specific mileage or time intervals. It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to ensure that the maintenance schedules shown in both this OwnersManual and the Warranty and Service Passport are adhered to. The new vehicle warranty may be invalidated if the routine maintenance operations are not performed in line with the recommendations outlinedand the safety and durability of the vehicle adversely affected. It is recommended that all mainte- nance operations with the exception of the daily operating checks are en-trusted to a Hyundai authorised re- pairer to ensure that the latest repairer and maintenance procedures and spe-cialized servicing tools are employed. In addition, the use of genuine Hyundai replacement parts will ensure that thevehicle safety and performance will not be compromised. NOTE:
The inspection and testing of cer-
tain electronic fuel injection/engine management and automatic trans- mission control systems require specialised electronic equipmentspecifically designed for Hyundai vehicles. The use of general pur- pose electrical test equipment mayresult in damage to the control unit microprocessors.
SF020C2-E
Specified Scheduled Procedures
The Specified scheduled procedures
are listed in the maintenance charts beginning at page 5-3. The opera- tions specified must be performed at the time or mileage intervals shownirrespective of whether the mileage interval has been reached before the specified time interval. Certain lubricants and components
degrade with both time and mileage(e.g. engine oil and brake fluid) and therefore it is not permissable to base the maintenance schedule upon mile-age alone. It is strongly recommended that the maintenance operations are performed by the factory-trained ordistributor-trained technicians at your Hyundai authorised repairer becauseof the need for specialized knowledge and tooling and to ensure that no possibility of invalidating the manufac-turers warranty exists.
The maintenance schedules relate to
vehicles operated under normal con- ditions, vehicles which are operated under adverse conditions will requiremore frequent maintenance which is described at page 5-6. NOTE:
Service schedules may change de-
pending on individual country needs. Please ask your localHyundai authorised repairer for a copy of the service schedule that relates to that country.
SF030B1-E
SERVICE HISTORY
It is important that all scheduled main-
tenance services are recorded in thewarranty and service passport to en-sure that proof of maintenance is avail- able when warranty service is required.

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 environment of the engine by means of the table shown above. The engine oil recom-mendations are complete in themselves and the use of additives is neither required nor recommended. The use ofengine oil additives may result in invali- dation of the vehicle warranty.
G030A01FC-EAT ENGINE OIL The correct engine oil level is of para- mount importance. An excessively highor low oil level may result in irreparable damage being sustained by the engine. The engine oil level must be checkedon a daily basis, whenever the vehicle is refuelled or before starting a long trip, whichever occurs sooner.In addition, it is imperative that only an approved grade and specification of oil is used to avoid the possibility of seri-ous engine damage and premature wear. The use of "budget price" oil is a false economy that must be avoided if themaximum reliability and useful life is to be obtained from the vehicle.

SG030C1-E Engine Oil Level Gasoline engineHTB167
HTB167A
Diesel engine The engine oil level should be checked with the engine at normal operating tem- perature and the vehicle parked uponlevel ground. Prior to checking the level, the vehicle should be allowed to stand for severalminutes after the engine has been switched off to allow the oil to drain back to the sump.Withdraw the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag. Replace the dipstick fully and withdraw again when the oil level may beread from the stick. Normal oil level is indicated when the oil is present between the two marks on the stick. It is notnecessary to add oil if the level is above the lower mark and in any case, oil must not be added to the degree that the levelexceeds the upper mark. Replace the dipstick fully after checking the level.
NOTE: SAE 0W-30 oil is for extra cold zone and to be restricted by driving condi- tion and dealing area. (Especially,not recommended for sustained high loaded and high speed operation.)
