11CHANGING THE OIL AND FILTER
!
G040A04FC-GAT
Gasoline Engine
G040A03EThe engine oil and filter should be
changed at those intervals specified in the maintenance schedule in Sec- tion 5. If the vehicle is being driven in severe conditions, more frequent oiland filter changes are required.
The procedure for changing the oil
and filter is as follows:
1. Park the vehicle on level ground
and set the parking brake. Start the engine and let it warm up until the needle on the coolant temperature gauge moves above the lowestmark. Turn the engine off and place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto- matic) or reverse gear (manualtransaxle).
2. Open the hood and remove the engine oil filler cap.
3. Slide underneath the car and loosen
the drain plug by turning it counter-clockwise with a wrench of the proper size. Be sure that a drain pan is in position to catch the oil asit drains out, then remove the drain plug. WARNING:
Be very careful when draining the engine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you!
4. When the oil has stopped draining, replace the drain plug using a new gasket and retighten by turning it clockwise.

5. Remove the oil filter. You should be able to unscrew the filter with your hands. (If your hands are slip- pery, try to use a cloth between your hands and the filter to giveyourself a better grip.) A certain amount of oil will come out when you remove the filter, so be sure tohave your drain pan in place un- derneath it. kgf.m

The engine oil and filter should be
changed at those intervals specified in the maintenance schedule in Sec- tion 5. If the car is being driven in severe conditions, more frequent oiland filter changes are required.
The procedure for changing the oil
and filter is as follows:
1. Park the car on level ground and
set the parking brake. Start the engine and let it warm up until the needle on the coolant temperature gauge moves above the lowestmark.
10. Shut off the engine and recheck
the oil level.
NOTE: Always dispose of used engine oil in an environmentally acceptable manner. It is suggested that it be placed in a sealed container andtaken to a service station for maybe reclaimation. Do not pour the oil on the ground or put it in with thehousehold trash.
6. Install a new oil filter in accordance
with the instructions on the cartonor on the filter itself. Do not over- tighten.
Oil filter tightening torque: 1.2~1.6kgf.m Be sure that the mounting surfaceon the engine is clean and that the old gasket is removed completely. Lubricate the new gasket on thefilter with clean engine oil before installation.
7. Remove the engine oil level dip- stick.
8. Refill the crankcase with the rec- ommended engine oil. Refer tothe specification in chapter 9 for engine oil capacity. WARNING:
Used motor oil may cause irrita-
tion or cancer of the skin if left incontact with the skin for prolonged periods of time. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warmwater as soon as possible after handling used oil.

! CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oil into a funnel. Do not overfill not to damage the engine.
9. Start the engine and check to be sure no oil is leaking from the drain plug or oil filter.

4. Turn the radiator cap counterclock-
wise without pressing down on it, until it stops. This relieves any pres- sure remaining in the cooling sys- tem. And remove the radiator cap by pushing down and turning coun-terclockwise.Fill the radiator with clean deminer-alized or distilled water. Continueto add clean demineralized or dis- tilled water in small quantities until the fluid level stays up in the radia-tor neck. G050D03E

To Change the Coolant
The coolant should be changed at
those intervals specified in the ve- hicle maintenance schedule in Sec- tion 5.
! CAUTION:
Engine coolant can damage the
finish of your car. If you spill en- gine coolant on the car, wash it off thoroughly with clean water.
1. Park the car on level ground, set the parking brake and remove the radia- tor cap when cool.
2. Be sure your drain receptacle is in
place. Open the drain cock on theradiator. Allow all the engine cool- ant to drain from the cooling sys- tem, then securely close the draincock.
3. Check Section 9 for the capacity of the cooling system in your car.Then, following the manufacturer's directions on the engine coolant container, add the appropriatequantity of coolant to the radiator.
!WARNING:
Remove the radiator cap when the
radiator is cool. 5. Start the engine, top off the radiator
with water and then add engine coolant to the reservoir until thelevel is between "L" and "F".
6. Replace the radiator and reservoir
caps and check to be sure the draincocks are fully closed and not leak- ing.

To Check the Transaxle Fluid Level
Park the car on level ground with the
parking brake engaged. When the transaxle fluid level is checked, the transaxle fluid should be at normaloperating temperature and the en- gine idling.
G110C01E-GAT
Transaxle Fluid Capacity
The fluid capacity of the automatic
transaxle is 6.1 liters (1.6 DOHC)/7.8 liters (1.8/2.0 DOHC). While the engine is idling, apply the brakes and move the gear selector lever from "P" to each of its other positions -- "R", "N", "D", "3" (1.8/2.0 DOHC), "2", "L" -- and then return to"N" or "P". With the engine still idling:
1. Open the hood, being careful to
keep hands, long hair and clothing clear of any moving parts.
2. Remove the transaxle dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert the dipstick as faras it will go, then remove it again.Now check the fluid level on the dipstick. It should be in the "HOT" range on the dipstick. G110D01E
!WARNING:
The transaxle fluid level should be
checked when the engine is at normal operating temperature. This means that the engine, radiator,exhaust system etc., are very hot. Exercise great care not to burn yourself during this procedure.
! CAUTION:
Use of aftermarket ATF additives
may cause damage to the auto- matic transaxle. Only use HYUNDAI GENUINE ATF SP III, DIAMOND ATF SP III, SK ATF SP III or otherbrands approved by Hyundai Mo- tor Co., If you are having your vehicle serviced at a facility otherthan a Hyundai dealer, verify that the correct ATF is used for your vehicle.

CHECKING THE BRAKES
G120A01A-AAT
! CAUTION:
Because brakes are essential to
the safe operation of the car, it is suggested that they be checked and inspected by your Hyundai dealer. The brakes should bechecked and inspected for wear at those intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule inSection 5.
WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system
with engine running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injec-tors and high pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even af- ter the engine stopped. The fuel jetproduced by fuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it touch the body. People using pacemakers shouldnot move than 30cm closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room while engine is run-ning, since the high currents in the Common Rail system produce considerable magnetic fields.
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled byengine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Useextreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by arotating fan blade. As the engine coolant temperature decreases, the fan will automatically shut off. Thisis a normal condition.
HKSOM120
Fluid level should be within this range
3. If the transaxle fluid level is low, use a funnel to add transaxle fluid through the dipstick tube until the level reaches the "HOT" range. Do not overfill.
