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.

At the scheduled maintenance inspec- tion, belts should be examined forcracks, wear, fraying or other evi- dence of deterioration and replaced if necessary. Belt routing should also be checked to be sure there is no interference be- tween the belts and other parts of theengine.
SG190A1-E
Petrol Engine
The various engine drive belts must be
checked for condition, tension and free- dom from damage and excessive wear. The tension of a new belt must be checked after thirty minutes runningfollowing fitment of the new belt to allow for the initial belt stretch. CHECKING DRIVE BELTS

CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL CLEARANCE
45.1 mm (1.78 in.)G180A01L
You need a helper to check the brake pedal clearance. With the engine run-ning, have your helper press down on the brake pedal several times and then hold it down with a force of about 490N(50 kg, 110 lbs). The brake pedal clearance is the distance from the top surface of the brake pedal to the as-phalt sheeting under the floor mat. If the brake pedal clearance is not within the limits specified in the illustration,have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if nec- essary.

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.

TYRE PRESSURES
SI030A2-E SNOW TYRES If it is desired to fit snow tyres to the vehicle, it must be ascertained thatthe original size and load carrying ca- pacity are met by the replacement tyres. When using snow tyres, thevehicle should not be driven at speeds in excess of 60 MPH.
In modern high-speed motoring, cor- rect tyre pressures are vitally impor- tant. Incorrect tyre pressures can af- fect vehicle safety by causing reducedadhesion, steering response and tyre failure through overheating. The tyre pressure must only be checked whenthe tyres are cold. The correct tyre pressures are indicated on the label affixed to the driver's side "C" pillerouter panel and below. 5.5Jx14 5.5Jx15 6.0Jx153.5Jx153.5Jx15

Tyre pressures should be increased by 3 psi when the vehicle is driven fully laden or under conditions of sus- tained high speed motoring. SI040A1-E TYRE CHAINS Tyre chains, when included, should be installed on the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are the proper size and that they are installed in accordancewith the manufacturer's instructions.To minimise tyre and chain wear, donot continue to use tyre chains when they are no longer needed.
CAUTION:
When driving on roads covered withsnow or ice, drive at less than 20 mph (30 km/h).

WHEEL REPLACEMENT
The original wheels may only be re-
placed with Hyundai Approved wheels.
WARNING:
o Driving on worn or defective tyres is dangerous. Worn tyres may cause loss of steering controland a serious deterioration of braking efficiency. Defective tyres may cause vibration and loss of control through blow outs.
o Your vehicle is equipped with tyres designed to provide for saferide and handling capability. Do not use a size and type of tyre and wheel that is different from the one that is originally installedon your vehicle. It can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could lead to han-dling failure or rollover and seri- ous injury.

TYRE REPLACEMENT
0.06 in.(1.6 mm)
Wear indicator I090A02FC
Tyres must be replaced when the wear
indicators appear as a solid bar across the tyre tread. At this point, the re- maining tread depth will be approxi- mately 0.06 in.(1.6 mm). In addition tothis, the tyre must be replaced if any portion of the tread has become bald or if there are any lumps, bulges ordeep cuts in the sidewalls or tread. Replacement tyres must be of the
recommended size and rating andshould be of the same manufacture and tread pattern on each axle.
When replacing the tyres, be sure to equip all four tyres with thetyre and wheel of the same size, type, tread, brand and load-carry- ing capacity. If you neverthelessdecide to equip your vehicle with any tyre/wheel combination not recommended by Hyundai for off-road driving, you should not use these tyres for highway driving.
Tyres of different size, construction or tread pattern should not be intermixed on the same axle. Radial and cross ply tyres should not be used on the samevehicle.The use of tyres and wheels of nonapproved sizes can be dangerous.
