5ENGINE OILDAILY OPERATING CHECKS
SG020B1-E The following items should be checked on a daily basis or whenever the vehicle is refuelled, whichever occurs sooner.
o Engine oil level.
o 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 light- ing equipment.
o Windscreen wiper and washer opera- tion.
o Horn operation.
o Warning light 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 thatany item of equipment related to the safety or roadworthiness of the vehicle is not functioning correctly. G030A01FC-EAT The correct engine oil level is of para- mount importance. An excessively high or low oil level may result in irreparable damage being sustained by the engine.The engine oil level must be checked on 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 oilis used to avoid the possibility of seri- ous engine damage and premature wear. The use of "budget price" oil is a falseeconomy that must be avoided if the maximum reliability and useful life is to be obtained from the vehicle.
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 environment of the engine by means of the tableshown above. The engine oil recom- mendations are complete in themselves and the use of additives is neitherrequired nor recommended. The use of engine oil additives may result in invali- dation of the vehicle warranty.

ENGINE OIL AND FILTER REPLACEMENT
o The engine oil consumption is strongly effected by the viscosity and quality of oil, engine rpm and driving condi- tion etc. More engine oil may be consumedunder severe driving conditions such as high speeds, frequent accelera- tion and deceleration, compared tonormal driving. G040A04A-EAT
The engine oil and filter must be changedat the time or mileage interval specifiedin the maintenance schedule. If the vehicle is operated under severe or adverse conditions, the oil and filtermust be replaced more frequently. To replace the oil and filter, proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that the engine is at normaloperating temperature and park the vehicle on level ground with the park- ing brake securely applied and the engine turned off.
2. Open the bonnet and remove the oil filler cap.

SG050D1-E To Change the Coolant The coolant should be changed at those intervals specified in the vehicle main-tenance schedule in Section 5. NOTE: Care should be taken to ensure that coolant is not allowed to spill onto the paintwork since the finish may become damaged. If coolant spill-age occurs, the affected area should be rinsed thoroughly with water.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and
ensure that the parking brake is firmly applied, and the engine allowed tocool. Do not attempt this operation whilst the engine is hot since burning orscalding may result.
2. Prepare a suitable receptacle to col-
lect the displaced coolant and posi-tion this under the radiator drain tap.
3. With the heater temperature control
set to the "HOT" position, removethe radiator cap and open the radiator drain tap.
!
6. Start the engine with the radiator capstill removed and continue to add coolant as the level decreases as air is expelled from the system. When the level remains constant, replacethe radiator cap and replenish the coolant reservoir.
7. When the engine is hot, check to ensure that no coolant leaks arepresent.
4. When the engine coolant has drained completely, close the drain tap en-suring that this is not over tightened.
5. Prepare a suitable quantity of new
engine coolant (refer to section 9)and pour this into the radiator. WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by en- gine coolant temperature and maysometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant tem-perature decreases, the fan will auto- matically shut off. This is a normal condition.

15CHECKING THE TRANSAXLE OIL
!
SG100A1-E MANUAL TRANSAXLE LUBRICANT The manual transaxle lubricant must be checked and or changed at the inter- vals specified in the maintenance sched- ule. Only those lubricants specifiedshould be used in order to prevent gear shifting difficulties or transaxle dam- age. WARNING:
The transaxle lubricant level shouldonly be checked when the engine is cold to preclude the possibility of personal injury by contact with hotcomponents.

Recommended Oil Use only the approved transaxle lubri- cant. The recommended lubricants are complete in themselves and the use of additives is neither required nor recom-mended. The use of additives may invalidate the vehicle warranty. Ensure that the vehicle is parked on level ground with the parking brakefirmly applied and the engine cool. Re- move the level plug from the transaxle when lubricant should begin to drip fromthe level hole. If the level is low and no lubricant is seen to drip, add the re- quired quantity of lubricant and replacethe plug.

G110D02A-EAT Transaxle Fluid Level Checking The vehicle must be parked on level ground with the parking brake firmlyapplied and the engine at normal oper- ating temperature. (Normal operating temperature will only be achieved whenthe vehicle has been driven for 6 miles or more). With the engine idling and the footbrake applied, the transaxle selector shouldbe moved from the "P" position through to the "L" position and back to the "N" or "P" position.
SG110A2-E AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID The automatic transaxle fluid level should be checked and changed atthose intervals prescribed in the main- tenance schedule. It is of paramount importance that only the specified fluidis used when replenishing or changing the fluid. The use of other fluids may irreparably damage the transaxle andinvalidate the manufacturers warranty. In addition the ingress of dirt or lint may prevent correct functioning of thetransaxle and care must be exercised to prevent the ingress of such matter.
CAUTION:
The transaxle on fluid level must be checked with the engine running and at normal operating temperature and therefore care must be exercised toprevent injury occurring through contact with rotating or hot parts of the engine.
! G110B03A-AAT Recommended Fluid Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is specially designed to operate with DIA- MOND ATF SP-III or SK ATF SP-III.Damage caused by a nonspecified fluid is not covered by your new vehicle limited warranty.
NOTE: Basically automatic transaxle fluid is red color. As driving distance in- creases, the fluid color turns darkishred gradually. It is normal condition and you should not use fluid color as a criterion for replacing the transaxlefluid. You must replace the automatic transaxle fluid in accordance withintervals specified in the vehicle maintenances schedule in section 5.

18BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKING
SG120D1-E Brake Fluid Level
The fluid level in the brake fluid reser- voir should be checked periodically.The level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. If the level is at or below the"MIN" mark, fluid should be added hav- ing carefully cleaned the area surround- ing the reservoir cap to ensure that dirtis not allowed to enter the system. It should be borne in mind that the brake fluid level will decrease slightly as thefriction linings of the pads and shoes become worn and that this is a normal condition.
! CAUTION:
The automatic transaxle unit is a precision engineered assembly and correct operation is dependant upon the exclusion of dirt and lint from theunit. Therefore, it is imperative that only lint free cloth (eg nylon) is used for wiping the dipstick and that thearea around the dipstick is thor- oughly clean prior to level checking or adding fluid.
Fluid Capacity The total fluid capacity of the transaxle unit is 6.1 litres. SG120A1-E
SG120C2-E Brake Fluid Recommendations Only brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications or higher may beused in the braking system. Care should be taken to observe the instructions and precautions printed upon the con-tainer.! CAUTION:
Correct operation of the braking sys- tem is essential to the safe operationof the vehicle and therefore, any main- tenance operations other than those listed below should be entrusted to aHyundai dealer.

19CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
!
SG130A1-C To Check the Clutch Fluid The clutch fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked when per-forming other under bonnet checks. The system should be checked for leakage at the same time.Ensure that the clutch fluid level is always between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir. Fillas required. Fluid loss indicates a leak in the clutch system which should be inspected and repaired immediately.
WARNING:
Brake fluid is hygroscopic andshould never be stored in an un- sealed container. The presence of water in the braking system will causevapour locks and increase the possi- bility of brake fade along with pro- moting corrosion within the brakingsystem. The brake fluid must be changed at the specified time or mile- age interval to ensure continued safeoperation of the system. Brake fluid will cause rapid and serious damage to paintwork. If accidental spillageoccurs, the affected area must be rinsed with water immediately. Do not allow brake fluid to come intocontact with the eyes or to be in- gested and ensure that fluid is safely stored away form the reach of chil-dren.
