G050C02A-GAT To Check the Coolant Level The coolant level can be seen on the side of the plastic coolant reservoir.The level of the coolant should be between the "L" and "F" lines on the reservoir when the engine is cold. If thelevel is below the "L" mark, add engine coolant to bring it up between "L" and "F". If the level is low, inspect forcoolant leaks and recheck the fluid level frequently. If the level drops again, visit your Hyundai dealer for an inspec-tion and diagnosis of the reason.

G050B01A-AAT Recommended Engine Coolant
Use a high quality ethylene-glycol cool- ant in a 50/50 mix with water. The engine coolant should be compatiblewith aluminum engine parts. Additional corrosion inhibitors or additives should not be used. The cooling system mustbe maintained with the correct con- centration and type of engine coolant to prevent freezing and corrosion.Never allow the concentration of anti- freeze to exceed the 60% level or go below the 35% level, or damage to thecooling system may result. For proper concentration when adding or replac- ing the engine coolant, refer to thefollowing table.

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.

!
CAUTION:
Because brakes are essential to the safe operation of the car, it is sug- gested that they be checked and inspected by your Hyundai dealer.The brakes should be checked and inspected for wear at those inter- vals specified in the vehicle mainte-nance schedule in Section 5. WARNING:
Use caution when handling brakefluid. It can damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. It will also dam- age your vehicle's paint if spilledon it and not removed immediately.

NOTE: Grinding noise from the power steering pump may be heard imme- diately after the engine is started inextremely cold conditions (below - 20°C). If the noise stops during warm up, there is no abnormal function inthe system. It is due to a power steering fluid characteristic in ex- tremely cold conditions. Recommended Fluid Use PSF-3 type fluid NOTE: Do not start the engine when the power steering oil reservoir is empty.G230A03A-GAT POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL The power steering fluid level should be checked regularly.To check the power steering fluid level, be sure the ignition is "OFF", then check to make certain that the powersteering fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir.

If the vehicle has had front body repair and the headlight assembly has been replaced, the headlight aiming should be checked using the aiming screen asshown in the illustration. Turn on the headlight switch. (Low Beam Position)
1. Adjust headlights so that main axis
of light is parallel to center line of the body and is aligned with point "P"shown in the illustration.
2. Dotted lines in the illustration show
the center of headlights.

1. Keep all tires inflated to the correct
pressure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground and press the front bumper and rear bumper down several times. Place the vehicle at a distance of 3,000mm (118 in.) from the test wall.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded
(except for full levels of coolant,engine oil and fuel, and spare tire, jack, and tools).
