5DAILY OPERATING CHECKS
SG020B1-E The following items should be checked on a daily basis or whenever the ve- hicle 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 light- ing equipment.
o Windscreen wiper and washer op- eration.
o Horn operation.
o Warning light 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 thesafety or roadworthiness of the vehicle is not functioning correctly. G030A01FC-EAT The correct engine oil level is of para-
mount importance. An excessively high or low oil level may result inirreparable damage being sustained by the engine. The engine oil level must be checked on a daily basis, wheneverthe vehicle is refuelled or before start- ing a long trip, whichever occurs sooner.
In addition, it is imperative that only an
approved grade and specification of oilis used to avoid the possibility of serious engine damage and prematurewear. The use of "budget price" oil is a false economy that must be avoided if the maximum reliability and usefullife is to be obtained from the vehicle. G030B02O-EAT Recommended Oil Petrol engine
ENGINE OIL
The engine oil quality should meet the following classification. API SJ, SL or ABOVE ILSAC GF-3 or ABOVE The oil viscosity should be selected according to the operating environ- ment of the engine by means of thetable shown above. The engine oil recommendations are complete in themselves and the use of additives isneither required nor recommended. The use of engine oil additives may result in invalidation of the vehicle warranty.

BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKING
Fluid level should be within this range
C090A03FC
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extremecaution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fanblade. As the engine coolant tem- perature decreases, the fan will au- tomatically shut off. This is a nor-mal condition. WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with
engine running or within 30 sec- onds after shutting off engine. Highpressure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the enginestopped. The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it contacts the body.
People using pacemakers should
ensure that they keep a distance of30cm from the ECU or wiring har- ness within the engine room whilst engine is running, since the highcurrents in the Common Rail sys- tem produce considerable magnetic fields. SG120A1-E
CAUTION:
Correct operation of the braking
system is essential to the safe op-eration of the vehicle and therefore, any maintenance operations other than those listed below should beentrusted to a Hyundai authorised repairer.

SG120C2-E
Brake Fluid Recommendations
Only brake fluid conforming to DOT 3
or DOT 4 specifications or higher may be used in the braking system. Care should be taken to observe the in- structions and precautions printed uponthe container.

(Diesel engine)
The fuel system should be bled to remove air as described in the illustra-tion if the fuel supply is exhausted during travel, when the fuel filter is replaced, or if the vehicle is not usedfor a long time.
1. Remove the air cap with pushing the button.

Petrol engine
Diesel engine
The power steering fluid level should
be checked daily. SG230B1-E
POWER STEERING HOSES
Power steering hoses should be
checked for damage, deterioration and leakage at each service. To check the power steering fluid level,
be sure the ignition is "OFF", thencheck to make certain that the power steering fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings onthe fluid reservoir.
NOTE: Grinding noise from power steering
pump may be heard immediately after the engine is started in ex-tremely cold condition (below -4°F). If the noise stops dur- ing warm up, there is no abnormalfunction in the system. This is due to a power steering fluid character- istic in extremely cold conditions. FLUID RECOMMENDATION
Only automatic transmission fluid
meeting the specification of PSF-3 or Dexron 2 should be used in the power steering system.

2. Pump the hand pump until there are
no more bubbles in the fuel coming out of the air pipe. When doing this, place a cloth around the air pipe to prevent the escaping fuel from spew-ing about.
3. Replace the air cap when there are no more bubbles in the fuel.
4. Continue pumping until the hand pump becomes stiff.
5. Finally, check to be sure that there
is no leakage of fuel. If in doubt, consult your nearest Hyundai authorised repairer. G350B01FC

!WARNING:
o Do not smoke or have any other open flame near the vehicle whilst bleeding the fuel system.
o Be sure to carefully wipe away
any water drained out in thismanner, because the fuel mixed in the water might be ignited and result in a fire.

If the fuel filter warning lamp illumi-
nates during driving, it indicates that water has accumulated in the fuel filter. If this occurs, remove the water as described. REMOVAL OF WATER FROM THE FUEL FILTER

34HEADLIGHT AIMING ADJUSTMENT
G290A01FC-EAT Before performing aiming adjustment, make sure of the following.
1. Keep all tyres inflated to the correct pressure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground and press the front bumper & rear bumper down several times. Place the vehicle at a distance of 118 in. (3,000 mm) from the test wall.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant,engine oil and fuel, and spare tyre,jack, and tools).
4. Clean the head lights lens and turn on the headlight (Low beam).
!WARNING:
o Do not smoke or have any other open flame near the vehicle whilst bleeding the fuel system.
o Be sure to carefully wipe away any water drained out in thismanner, because the fuel mixed in the water might be ignited and result in a fire.
1. Loosen the drain plug at the bottomof the fuel filter.
2. Tighten the drain plug when water no longer comes out.
3. Check to be sure that the warning lamp illuminates when the ignition key is turned to "ON", and that it goes off when the engine is started. If in doubt, consult your nearest Hyundai authorised repairer.
NOTE: It is recommended that water accu-
mulated in the fuel filter should be removed by an authorized Hyundaiauthorised repairer. G300B02FC
