WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot, since the system is pressurised and coolant may be ejected from the radiator resultingin scalding.

Petrol engine Diesel engine
Only ethylene glycol based coolantwith a corrosion inhibitor suited to alu- minium alloy engine components should be used in the cooling system. No further additives or inhibitors should be used. The coolant specific gravityshould be checked as prescribed in the maintenance schedule to ensure adequate frost and corrosion protec-tion. In addition, the engine coolant must be replaced at the specified in- terval since the corrosion inhibitor prop-erties deteriorate with time. It is important to note that whilst an
increase in the concentration of antifreeze gives an increase in the level of frost protection, a solution which is in excess of 65% anti freeze will result inreduced frost protection and engine overheating. Therefore the recom- mended concentration of 50% shouldnot be exceeded for general use. The use of methanol based anti freeze
compounds may result in engine over-heating and will invalidate the vehicle warranty.
NOTE: It is imperative that vehicles fitted
with an air conditioning system have a coolant concentration of the rec-ommended strength at all times. The use of the air conditioning sys- tem when the cooling system isfilled with water only will result in the heater matrix freezing and sub- sequently bursting.

To Change the Coolant
The coolant should be changed at
those intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.
NOTE: Care should be taken to ensure that
coolant is not allowed to spill onto the paintwork since the finish maybecome damaged. If coolant spill- age occurs, the affected area should be rinsed thoroughly with water.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground
and ensure that the parking brake is firmly applied, and the engine al- lowed to cool. Do not attempt this operation whilst the engine is hot since burning or scalding may result. 2. Prepare a suitable receptacle to
collect the displaced coolant and position this under the radiator drain tap.
3. With the heater temperature control set to the "HOT" position, removethe radiator cap and open the radia- tor drain tap.
4. When the engine coolant has drained completely, close the drain tap en-suring that this is not over tight- ened.
5. Prepare a suitable quantity of new engine coolant (refer to section 9)and pour this into the radiator.

(Petrol Engine)
This operation should only be per-
formed when the engine is cold.
1. Remove the centre cover from the engine rocker cover.
2. Remove plug lead from the sparking
plug to be replaced, pulling the lead by the rubber cap. (Pulling the lead may damage the carbon conductor).
G050D02FC
6. Start the engine with the radiator cap still removed and continue to add coolant as the level decreases as air is expelled from the system.When the level remains constant, replace the radiator cap and replen- ish the coolant reservoir.
7. When the engine is hot, check to ensure that no coolant leaks arepresent. WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature and maysometimes operate even when theengine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so thatyou are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant tem- perature decreases, the fan will au-tomatically shut off. This is a nor- mal condition. 0.039~0.043 in. (1.0~1.0 mm)

1. Put a new wiper blade onto the
wiper arm and lower the wiper blade at the level of the wiper arm as shown in the drawing.
2. Pull up the wiper blade until you hear an audible "click" to engage in the end of the wiper arm.
NOTE: Do not allow the wiper arm to fall against the windscreen.
!
Undiluted windscreen washer addi-
tive must not be allowed to come into contact with the paintwork. If spillage occurs, flush the affected area immediately with water. Do notoperate the windscreen washer for more than 15 seconds continuously or when the reservoir is empty sincedamage to the washer pump will result.
WARNING:
o Windscreen washer fluid agents contain some amounts of alcohol and can be flammable under cer-tain circumstances. Do not allow sparks of flame to contact the washer fluid or the washer fluidreservoir. Damage to the vehicle or its occupants could occur.
o Windscreen washer fluid is poi- sonous to humans and animals. Do not drink windscreen washerfluid. Serious injury or death could occur.

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.

WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled byengine 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 au- tomatically shut off. This is a nor- mal condition. The engine cooling fan should operate before the temperature gauge reaches the upper portion of the scale and thecondenser fan should operate when- ever the air conditioning is in use.
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when theengine is not running. Do not touch the radiator fan until it is completely stopped.
As the coolant temperature de-
creases the fan will automaticallyshut off. This is a normal condition.

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

7EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
2EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
SH010A1-E
(Not all models)
Depending upon the market for which
the vehicle is destined, the emission control system will comprise one or more of the following emission control devices.
(1) Crankcase emission control sys-
tem
(2) Evaporative emission control sys- tem
(3) Exhaust emission control system
In order that the proper functioning of
the emission control systems may be ensured, it is recommended that the vehicle is inspected and maintained by an Hyundai authorised repairer inaccordance with the maintenance schedule in this manual. SH010B1-E
1. Crankcase Emission Control
System
The positive crankcase ventilation
system is employed to prevent air pollution caused by blow-by gasesbeing emitted from the crankcase by introducing fresh air to the crankcase through the air cleaner where this mixeswith blow-by gases and then passes through the PCV valve into the intake manifold from where it subsequentlyenters the combustion chamber and is burned.
SH010C1-E
2. Evaporative Emission Control
System
The Evaporative Emission Control Sys-
tem is designed to prevent fuel vapours from escaping into the atmosphere through the fuel tank ventilation sys- tem. Whilst the engine is not running, fuel
vapours generated inside the fuel tankare absorbed and stored in a charcoal canister. When the engine is started, the vapours
stored in the canister are drawn intothe induction system through the purge control solenoid valve and are subse-quently burned. The purge control solenoid valve is
controlled by the ECU; when the en- gine coolant temperature is low or the engine is idling, the purge control valveis closed and fuel vapours remain stored in the canister. Under normal running conditions when the engine iswarm, the valve opens and the vapours are drawn into the inlet tract and sub- sequently burned in the combustionchamber.
SH010D1-E
3. Exhaust Emission Con Trol
System
The exhaust emission control system
is a highly effective system whichcontrols exhaust emission whilst main-taining good vehicle performance.
