G350A01A-GAT ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION Function of Engine Oil Engine oil has the primary function of lubricating and cooling the inside of the engine. Engine oil consumption It is normal that an engine should consume some engine oil while nor-mal driving. The cause of oil consump- tion in a normal engine are as follows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pis-
tons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinderwall when a piston moves down- wards in the cylinder. High negative pressure generated during engineoperation sucks some of the oil into the combustion chamber. This oil with some oil of the cylinderwall is burned by the high tempera-
ture combustion gases during the combustion process.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly effected by the viscosityand quality of oil, engine rpm anddriving condition etc. The engine oil is more consumed under severe driving conditions such as highspeeds and frequent acceleration and deceleration than normal driv- ing condition.
!
NOTE:
o It is recommended that the engine oil and filter should be changed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Always dispose of used engine oil in an environmentally acceptablemanner. It is suggested that it beplaced in a sealed container and taken to a service station for recla- mation. Do not pour the oil on theground or put it into the house- hold trash.
WARNING:
Used motor oil may cause irritation or cancer of the skin if left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods of time. Wash your hands thoroughlywith soap and warm water as soon as possible after handling used oil. G050A01TG-AAT CHECKING THE ENGINE COOL- ANT
WARNING:

You could be seriously burned ifyou do not observe this precau- tion. Do not remove the radiator cap until the radiator is cool to thetouch.

G210A01A-AAT CHECKING THE BATTERY
WARNING:
Batteries can be dangerous! When working with batteries, carefully ob-serve the following precautions to avoid serious injuries. HTB165
The fluid in the battery contains a strongsolution of sulfuric acid, which is poi- sonous and highly corrosive. Be carefulnot to spill it on yourself or the car. If you do spill battery fluid on yourself, imme- diately do the following:
!
o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush the affected areas with water for at least 15 minutes and then seekmedical assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse
out your eyes with water and getmedical assistance as soon as pos- sible. While you are being driven to get medical assistance, continue torinse your eyes by using a sponge or soft cloth saturated with water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large quantity of water or milk fol-lowed by milk of magnesia, eat a raw egg or drink vegetable oil. Getmedical assistance as soon as pos- sible.
While batteries are being charged (ei-ther by a battery charger or by the vehicle's alternator), they produce ex-plosive gases. Always observe these warnings to prevent injuries from oc- curring:
o Charge batteries only in a well ven- tilated area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smoking in the area.
o Keep children away from the area.
!
G210B01Y-GAT Checking the Battery Keep the battery clean. Any evidence of corrosion around the battery posts orterminals should be removed using a solution of household baking soda and warm water. After the battery terminalsare dry, cover them with a light coating of grease.
WARNING:
Always read the following instructions carefully whenhandling a battery. Keep lighted cigarettes and all other flames or sparksaway from the battery. Hydrogen, which is a highly combustible gas, is alwayspresent in battery cells and may explode if ignited.
