SG050C2-E Engine 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 "LOW" mark, add coolant of thecorrect concentration until the level is between the "LOW" and "Full" marks. If the level falls below the "LOW" mark ona regular basis despite being topped up, consult a Hyundai authorised repairer.
!WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by en- gine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when theengine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so that youare 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.

SG100A3-E MANUAL TRANSAXLE LUBRICANT
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 manual transaxle lubricant must be checked and or changed at the inter- vals specified in the maintenance sched- ule. Only those lubricants specifiedshould be used in order to prevent gear shifting difficulties or transaxle dam- age. WARNING:
The transaxle lubricant level should only be checked when the engine is cold to preclude the possibility ofpersonal injury by contact with hot components. NOTE: It is recommended that the manual transaxle lubricant should be checked by Hyundai authorised re- pairer. Recommended Oil Use only the approved transaxle lubri- cant. The recommended lubricants arecomplete in themselves and the use of additives is neither required nor recom- mended. The use of additives mayinvalidate the vehicle warranty.
The level of windscreen washer fluid available should be checked on a daily basis. The level of fluid will be visiblethrough the side of the reservoir. When the fluid is to be replenished, only a proprietary screen wash additive shouldbe used and in the concentration rec- ommended by the manufacturer. The windscreen washer reservoir has a totalcapacity of 3 litres.

CAUTION:
The automatic transaxle unit is a precision engineered assembly and correct operation is dependant uponthe exclusion of dirt and lint from the unit. Therefore, it is imperative that only lint free cloth (eg nylon) is usedfor wiping the dipstick and that the area around the dipstick is thor- oughly clean prior to level checkingor adding fluid. Fluid Capacity The total fluid capacity of the transaxle unit is 6.1 litres.

Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
Wipe the dipstick, replace it fully and promptly remove it again. The fluid level 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. 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.
WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system withengine running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pres- sure pump, rail, injectors and highpressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the engine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious injury,

SG140C1-E Checking the Refrigerant
1. Start the engine and run at idle for
several minutes with the refrigera- tion system running at the coldest setting.
2. Open the bonnet and inspect the
sight glass on the top of the receiverdryer.
3. If the refrigerant charge is insuffi- cient, a flow of bubbles will be ob-served through the sight glass.
4. If the refrigerant charge is satisfac- tory, no bubbles will be observedthrough the sight glass.
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning systemwith a low refrigerant level may dam- age the compressor.

!WARNING:
Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should never be stored in an un-sealed container. The presence of water in the braking system will cause vapour locks and increase the possi-bility of brake fade along with pro- moting corrosion within the braking system. The brake fluid must bechanged at the specified time or mile- age interval to ensure continued safe operation of the system. Brake fluid will cause rapid and serious damage to paintwork. If accidental spillageoccurs, the affected area must be rinsed with water immediately. Do not allow brake fluid to come intocontact with the eyes or to be in- gested and ensure that fluid is safely stored away form the reach of chil-dren. SG140A1-E AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM MAINTENANCECondenser Ensure that the condenser is periodi- cally inspected and that accumulations of dirt, dead insects and leaves etc, areremoved to ensure that the efficiency of the system is not impaired. Care must be exercised to ensure that the con-denser fins are not damaged during cleaning.

SG200A1-E FUSIBLE LINKS The fusible link prevents damage to the wiring harness in the event of an elec-trical system malfunction. Failure of a fusiblelink is indicative of a serious overload condition having occurred andtherefore the electrical system should be checked by a Hyundai authorised repairer before a replacement link isfitted.
WARNING:
Under no circumstances should afusible link be replaced with any- thing other than a new link of the same rating. The use of higher ratedlinks or other means of connecting the circuit will create a potential fire hazard.G200B01E-EAT INDIVIDUAL CIRCUIT FUSES The fuse box containing the individual circuit fuses will be found in the back-side of multi box located in the right side of driver. The multi box is removed by pulling lightly and then releasing the lid.A fuse rating grid will be found on the reverse side of the cover. In the event of fuse failure, the fuse should be re-placed with one of equivalent rating. A fuse removal tool is provided within the fuse box to facilitate replacement. HTB180-D

SG220A1-E ELECTRIC COOLING FANS
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. The engine cooling fan should operate before the temperature gauge reachesthe upper portion of the scale and the condenser fan should operate when- ever the air conditioning is in use. SG230B1-E POWER STEERING HOSES Power steering hoses should be checked for damage, deterioration and leakage at each service.
NOTE: Grinding noise from power steering pump may be heard immediately after the engine is started in extremelycold condition (below -4°F). If the noise stops during warm up, there is no abnormal function in the system.This is due to a power steering fluid characteristic in extremely cold con- ditions. FLUID RECOMMENDATION Only automatic transmission fluid meet- ing the specification of Dexron 2 should be used in the power steering system.SG230A2-E POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL The power steering fluid level should be checked daily.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.
