WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust gases are potentially lethal. If at any time engine exhaust gas is detected within the passenger compartment, move the vehicle to an open area and open all windows. o Never inhale exhaust gas. Exhaust gases contain Carbon Monoxide which is colourless and odourless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation. o Exhaust System Maintenance. Ensure that the exhaust system is maintained in good condition and is free from excessive corrosion anddamage which may result in leakage. If the vehicle is driven over an object which strikes the exhaust system, ensure that the exhaust system is inspected at the first available opportunity to ensure that no leakage exists. o Confined Areas. Do not run the engine in confined spaces, allowing the engine to idle in a garage, even when the doors are open is dangerous practice. Only start the engine immediately prior to moving the vehicle out of the garage. o Prolonged Idling. If it is necessary to allow the vehicle to idle for prolonged periods, ensure that the heating system air intakecontrol is set to the "Fresh" position, the blower is set to high speed operation and that the vehicle is standing in an open area. To ensure correct operation of the heater system, the air intake grilles at the base of the windscreen must not be obstructed by snow leaves etc..

ZC170C1-E Anti-freeze/Corrosion inhibitor The cooling system must always con- tain an Ethylene-Glycol based anti-freeze solution. The system is filled during manufacture with solution of the correct strength which should bechecked before the onset of winter and adjusted or changed as required. NOTE: The anti-freeze solution contains a corrosion inhibitor to prevent degra- dation of the aluminium castingscontained within the engine. There- fore, never, drain the system and refill with water only. In addition, anti-freeze solution must ALWAYS be used in vehicles fitted withair conditioning, to prevent the heater matrix from freezing and subsequently bursting with the refrigeration system inuse.WINTER MOTORING
DC170A1-E The onset of winter conditions subject motor vehicles to greater operating de- mands. Therefore, the following sug- gestions will assist in maintaining peakperformance and reliability during these periods: ZC170B1-E Electrical System Winter conditions impose severe de- mands upon vehicle electrical systems,particularly the charging circuit. The battery condition and performance along with the alternator performance anddrive belt condition should be checked prior to the onset of winter. ZC170D1-E Door Locks Should the door lock mechanism be- come frozen, a proprietary lock de-icershould be used. Alternatively, warming the door key may thaw the door lock. However, the key should be handledcarefully to avoid burning the fingers. Never attempt to thaw a frozen door lock using hot water, since the waterwill eventually freeze and compound the problem. NOTE: The proper temperature for using the immobiliser key is from -40°C to 80°C (-40°F to 176°F). If you heat theimmobiliser key over 80°C (176°F) to open the frozen lock, it may cause damage to the transponder in itshead.

ENGINE COOLANT CHECKING AND REPLACING
SG050A1-E
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot, since the system is pressurised and coolant may be ejected from the radiator resulting in scalding. NOTE: It is imperative that vehicles fitted with an air conditioning systemhave a coolant concentration of the recommended strength at all times. The use of the air condition-ing system when the cooling sys- tem is filled with water only will result in the heater matrix freezingand subsequently bursting.
SG050B1-E
Coolant recommendations
Only ethylene glycol based coolantwith a corrosion inhibitor suited to aluminium alloy 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 pre-scribed in the maintenance schedule to ensure adequate frost and corro- sion protection. In addition, the en-gine coolant must be replaced at the specified interval since the corrosion inhibitor properties deteriorate withtime.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 isin excess of 65% anti freeze will result in reduced frost protection and engine overheating. Therefore therecommended concentration of 50% should not be exceeded for general use. The use of methanol based anti freeze compounds may result in engine over- heating and will invalidate the vehiclewarranty.

SG050C1-E Engine Coolant Level
The engine coolant level may be
observed through the side of the plas- tic coolant reservoir (expansion tank) when the engine is cold. If the level is below the "L" mark, add coolant ofthe correct concentration until the level is between the "L" and "F" marks. If the level falls below the "L" mark on aregular basis despite being topped up, consult a Hyundai authorised re- pairer. SG050D1-E 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.
3. With the heater temperature controlset to the "HOT" position, removethe radiator cap and open the radia- tor drain tap.
4. When the engine coolant has drained completely, close the drain tap en- suring that this is not over tight-ened. G050D03E
CAUTION:
Care should be taken to ensure that
coolant is not allowed to spill ontothe paintwork since the finish maybecome 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 al- lowed to cool. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS OPERA- TION WHILST THE ENGINE IS HOT SINCE BURNING OR SCALD-ING MAY RESULT.
2. Prepare a suitable receptacle to
collect the displaced coolant andposition this under the radiator drain tap.
