6ZF070F1-A o Brake hoses and lines Visually check for proper installation, chafing, cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts immediately. A6ZF070G2-A
o Brake fluid & Clutch fluid
Check brake fluid level in the brake
fluid reservoir. The level should be between "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. Use onlyhydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4.
6ZF070H1-A
o Rear brake drums and linings/
parking brake
Check the rear brake drums and lin-
ings for scoring, burning, leaking fluid,broken parts, and excessive wear. In- spect the parking brake system in-cluding the parking brake lever and cables. For detailed service proce- dures, refer to the Shop Manual. 6ZF070J1-A
o Brake pads, calipers and ro-
tors
Check the pads for excessive wear,
discs for run out and wear, and cali- pers for fluid leakage.
6ZF070K1-E
o Exhaust pipe and silencer
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes,
silencer and hangers for cracks, dete-rioration, or damage. Start the engine and listen carefully for any exhaustgas leakage. Tighten connections or replace parts as necessary.
6ZF070L1-A
o Suspension mounting bolts
Check the suspension connections for
looseness or damage. Retighten to the specified torque.
F070E05A-EAT
o Automatic Transaxle Fluid
The fluid level should be in the "HOT"range of the dipstick, after the engine and transaxle are at normal operating temperature. Check the automatictransaxle fluid level with the engine running and the transaxle in neutral, with the parking brake properly ap-plied. Use Hyundai Genuine ATF SP- III, DIAMOND ATF SP-III, SK ATF SP-III or other brands approved byHyundai Motor Co., when adding or changing fluid. Refer to the chapter 6.

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 equipment.
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
MAINTENANCE PRECAU- TIONS
!
G020D01TG-EAT Improper or incomplete service may result in problems. This section gives instructions only for the maintenanceitems that are easy to perform.Several procedures should be done byHyundai authorised repairer. NOTE: Improper owner maintenance dur- ing the warranty period may affectwarranty coverage.
WARNING:
o Performing maintenance work on a vehicle can be dangerous. You can be seriously injured whilst performing some maintenanceprocedures. If you lack sufficient knowledge and experience or the proper tools and equipment to dothe work, have it done by Hyundai authorised repairer.
o Working under the bonnet with the engine running is dangerous. It becomes even more dangerouswhen you wear jewellery or loose clothing. These can become en- tangled in moving parts and re-sult in injury. Therefore, if you must run the engine whilst work- ing under the bonnet, make cer-tain that you remove all jewellery (especially rings, bracelets, watches, and necklaces) and allneckties, scarves, and similar loose clothing before getting near the engine or cooling fans.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
3CATALYTIC CONVERTOR
SH020A1-E Hyundai Coupe models are fitted with catalytic convertors which requirespecial operating considerations. The catalytic convertor serves to oxidize certain noxious elements of the ex-haust gases leaving the engine to reduce the level of pollutants emitted from the vehicle and, provided thatcare is exercised to prevent damage, the catalyst will operate efficiently for the life of the vehicle. It is of the utmost importance that the following information is read and un- derstood by the vehicle operator inorder to prevent operational problems arising from damage to the catalyst. Damage to the catalyst will result if contamination occurs through the useof leaded fuel. Whilst the vehicle is fitted with a reduced diameter filler neck to prevent charging of the fueltank with a leaded fuel pump nozzle, it is possible that the use of funnels or fuel cans will permit leaded fuel to beintroduced into the fuel tank.The catalyst is intolerant of unburntfuel and therefore if an engine misfirecondition exists, damage to the cata- lyst will occur. It is imperative that if a misfire condition develops, the ve-hicle is immediately presented to a Hyundai authorised repairer for rectifi- cation. Similarly, the practice of cer-tain ignition system diagnosis proce- dures which involve inducing a misfire (cylinder power balance tests for ex-ample) may result in catalyst damage.For these reasons, it is advisable thatthe exhaust gas emission be tested at each routine service with a gas analyzer having a Hydrocarbon mea-suring facility to ensure continued re- liability of the catalyst.
Catalytic Converter
OGK076501 Push or tow starting of the vehicle is to be avoided since unburnt fuel mayenter the catalyst and result in dam- age. (Note, it is impossible to push or tow start a Hyundai model equippedwith fuel injection since the fuel pump safety interlock will prevent the pump from operating under these conditions). Operation of the catalyst involves ex- tremely high temperatures being at- tained within the catalytic convertor,and although the convertor is fitted with heat shields, it is important that the vehicle is not parked over combus-tible or volatile material which may result in fire. If the above precautions are not ad- hered to and the catalyst becomes inoperative, the resultant increase incore temperature will result in a "melt down" where the catalyst core will melt and subsequently may block theexhaust system.Due to the fragile nature of the cata-lyst element, it is important that dam-age does not occur when the vehicle is raised by means of a garage jack. Care must also be exercised to avoiddriving over road hazards or debris which may cause damage to the cata- lyst element.

SI060B2-E
TYRE REPLACEMENT
Tyres must be replaced when the wear
indicators appear as a solid bar across the tyre tread. At this point, the re- maining tread depth will be approxi-mately 0.06 in. (1.6 mm). In addition to this, the tyre must be replaced if any portion of the tread has become baldor if there are any lumps, bulges or deep cuts in the sidewalls or tread.
Replacement tyres must be of the
recommended size and rating and should be of the same manufactureand tread pattern on each axle. HGK5015
0.06 in. (1.6 mm )
Wear indicator
SI060A2-E TYRE BALANCING Incorrect tyre balance will cause steer- ing vibration and uneven tyre wear. The vehicle tyres are balanced during production but may need further bal-ancing throughout the life of the tyres.It is recommended that the tyres bebalanced on the car for best results and that the tyres are balanced when- ever they have been removed from thewheel for repair. NOTE: Should abnormal wear be noted on a tyre, then it is recommended that the wheel alignment be checked byyour Hyundai authorised repairer at the earliest opportunity.
!WARNING:
Tyres degrade over time, even when they are not being used. Regardless of the remaining tread, it is recom-mended that tyres generally be re- placed after six (6) years of normal service. Heat caused by hot cli-mates or frequent high loading con- ditions can accelerate the aging pro- cess. Failure to follow this warningcan result in sudden tyre failure, which could lead to a loss of con- trol and an accident involving seri-ous injury or death.
