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.

9ENGINE COOLANT CHECK-
ING AND REPLACING
CAUTION:
The oil being drained from the en- gine will be hot. Care should beexercised to prevent scalding.
!
3. Prepare a suitable receptacle to col-
lect the displaced oil and remove the drain plug from the sump.
!
4. When the oil has drained from thesump, replace the drain plug using a new washer ensuring that the plug isnot over tightened. Tightening torque is: 3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m
5. Remove the oil filter by rotating coun- terclockwise, using a proprietary oil filter removal tool if necessary. Note that the oil filter will contain approxi-mately 0.3 litres of oil and this should be collected in a suitable receptacle.
6. Install a new oil filter having smeared the sealing ring with clean oil androtating clockwise until the filter con- tacts the mounting and then a furtherone half turn. Do not over-tighten. WARNING:
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oils may result in seri- ous skin disorders including derma-titis and cancer. Avoid contact with skin as far as possible and always wash thoroughly after any contact.Keep used oils out of reach of chil- dren. It is illegal to pollute drains, water courses and soil. Use onlyauthorized waste collection facili- ties including civic amenity sites and garages for the disposal of usedoil and oil filters. If in doubt, contact the local authority for disposal in- structions. Tightening torque:
Petrol -
1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m
Diesel - 2.3 ~ 2.5 kgf.m
7. Pour the specified quantity of the recommended oil into the engine and replace the filler cap. Start the en- gine and ensure that no oil leaksexist. Turn off the engine and after a couple minutes, recheck the oil level.

SG050A1-E
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot, since the system is pressurized and coolant may beejected from the radiator resulting in scalding.

NOTE: It is imperative that vehicles fitted with an air conditioning system have a coolant concentration of the rec-ommended strength at all times. The use of the air conditioning system when the cooling system is filledwith water only will result in the heater matrix freezing and subse- quently bursting. SG050C1-E Coolant Level The engine coolant level may be ob- served through the side of the plasticcoolant reservoir (expansion tank) when the engine is cold. If the level is below the "L" mark, add coolant of the correctconcentration until the level is between the "L" and "F" marks. If the level falls below the "L" mark on a regular basisdespite being topped up, consult a Hyundai dealer.
SG050B1-E Coolant recommendations Only ethylene glycol based coolant with a corrosion inhibitor suited to aluminiumalloy engine components should be used in the cooling system. No further additives or inhibitors should be used.The coolant specific gravity should be checked as prescribed in the mainte- nance schedule to ensure adequatefrost and corrosion protection. In addi- tion, the engine coolant must be re- placed at the specified interval sincethe corrosion inhibitor properties dete- riorate with time. It is important to note that whilst anincrease in the concentration of anti freeze gives an increase in the level of frost protection, a solution which is inexcess of 65% anti freeze will result in reduced frost protection and engine overheating. Therefore the recom-mended concentration of 50% should not be exceeded for general use. The use of methanol based anti freezecompounds may result in engine over- heating and will invalidate the vehicle warranty.

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.

14WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADES
CAUTION:
Engine coolant anti freeze must not be used in the windscreen washersystem since damage to the paintwork may result. Undiluted windscreen washer addi-tive must not be allowed to come into contact with the paintwork. If spillage occurs, flush the affectedarea immediately with water. Do not operate the windscreen washer for more than 15 seconds continuouslyor when the reservoir is empty since damage to the washer pump will result.
!
The level of windscreen washer fluid available should be checked on a daily basis. The level of fluid will be visible through the side of the reservoir. Whenthe fluid is to be replenished, only a proprietary screen wash additive should be used and in the concentration rec-ommended by the manufacturer. The windscreen washer reservoir has a total capacity of 3 litres.
SG090A2-E
G080A01A-EAT The wiper blades should be carefully inspected from time to time and cleanedto remove accumulations of road film or other debris. To clean the wiper blades and arms, use a clean sponge or clothwith a mild soap or detergent and water. If the wipers continue to streak or smear the glass, replace them with genuineHyundai replacement. NOTE:
o Do not operate the wipers on dry
glass since rapid wear and damage to the windscreen glass may result.
o Keep the blade rubber out of con-
tact with petroleum products suchas engine oil, petrol, etc.

!Open the bonnet and remove the transaxle dipstick, remembering that care must be exercised to prevent in-jury occurring through contact with hot or rotating parts of the engine. 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.
Wipe the dipstick, replace it fully andpromptly remove it again. The fluidlevel should be between the upper and lower marks. Fluid need only be added if the level is at or below the lower markand must never be increased above the higher mark. If additional fluid is re- quired, this should be poured into thetransmission through the dipstick tube with the aid of a suitable funnel.
G110D03A
G110D04A
Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
!WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pres-sure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the enginestopped. The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it touch the body. People usingpacemakers should not move than 12 in.(30 cm) closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room while engine is running, since the high currents in the CommonRail system produce considerable magnetic fields.
