G050B01A-AAT Recommended Engine Coolant Use a high quality ethylene-glycol cool- ant in a 50/50 mix with water. Theengine coolant should be compatible with aluminum engine parts. Additional corrosion inhibitors or additives shouldnot be used. The cooling system must be maintained with the correct con- centration and type of engine coolantto prevent freezing and corrosion. Never allow the concentration of anti- freeze to exceed the 60% level or gobelow the 35% level, or damage to the cooling system may result. For proper concentration when adding or replacingthe engine coolant, refer to the following table.

CHECKING AND CHANGING THE ENGINE COOLANT
G050A01TG-AAT
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. When the engine ishot, the engine coolant is under pres- sure and may erupt through the open- ing if the cap is removed. You couldbe seriously burned if you do not observe this precaution. Do not re- move the radiator cap until the radia-tor is cool to the touch. NOTE: It is recommended that the engine coolant should be changed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly
effected by the viscosity and qualityof oil, engine rpm and driving condi- tion etc. The engine oil is more con- sumed under severe driving condi-tions such as high speeds and fre- quent acceleration and deceleration than normal driving condition.

CAUTION:
o Radiator antifreeze (engine cool- ant) should not be used in the washer system because it will damage the car's finish.
o The washer should not be oper- ated if the washer reservoir isempty. This can damage thewasher fluid pump.!
WARNING:
o Windshield washer fluid agents contain some amounts of alcohol and can be flammable under cer- tain circumstances. Do not allow sparks or flame to contact thewasher fluid or the washer fluid reservoir. Damage to the vehicle or its occupants could occur.
o Windshield washer fluid is poi- sonous to humans and animals.Do not drink windshield washerfluid. Serious injury or death could occur.
CHECKING THE TRANSAXLE OIL (MANUAL)
G100A01MC-GAT
Transaxle lubricant in the manual transaxle should be checked at those intervals specified in the vehicle main-tenance schedule in Section 5.
!WARNING:
It is always better to check the transaxle oil level when the engine iscool or cold. If the engine is hot, you should exercise great caution to avoid burning yourself on hot en-gine or exhaust parts. NOTE: It is recommended that the manual transaxle fluid should be checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
FILLING THE WASHER RESERVOIR
G090A01MC-GAT The washer fluid reservoir supplies fluid to the windshield washer system. A good quality washer fluid should be used to fill the washer reservoir. Thefluid level should be checked more frequently during inclement weather or whenever the washer system is in morefrequent use. OMC055016

15CHECKING THE TRANSAXLE FLUID (AUTOMATIC)
G110A01MC-AAT Transaxle fluid in the automatic transaxle should be checked at those intervals specified in the vehicle main- tenance schedule in Section 5. NOTE: Automatic transaxle fluid is basi- cally a red color. As driving distance increases, the fluid color turns dark-ish red gradually. It is normal condi- tion and you should not judge the need to replace based upon thechanging color. You must replace the automatic transaxle fluid in accordance withintervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in section 5.
!WARNING:
The transaxle fluid level should be checked when the engine is at nor- mal operating temperature. This means that the engine, radiator,exhaust system etc., are very hot. Exercise great care not to burn your- self during this procedure. G110D02A-GAT To Check the Transaxle Fluid Level Park the car on level ground with the parking brake engaged. When thetransaxle fluid level is checked, the transaxle fluid should be at normal operating temperature and the engineidling. While the engine is idling, apply the brakes and move the gear selectorlever from "P" to each of its other positions -- "R", "N", "D", "2", "L" -- and then return to "N" or "P". With theengine still idling:

G140B01A-AAT Checking the Air Conditioning Operation
1. Start the engine and let it run at afast idle for several minutes with the air conditioning set at the maximum cold setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is not cold, have the air condi-tioning system inspected by yourHyundai dealer.
G140C01A-AAT Lubrication To lubricate the compressor and the seals in the system, the air conditioning should be run for at least 10 minuteseach week. This is particularly important during cool weather when the air condi- tioning system is not otherwise in use.
! CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys- tem for extended periods of time with a low refrigerant level may damage the compressor.
AIR CONDITIONING CARE
G140A01A-AAT Keeping the Condenser Clean The air conditioning condenser (and engine radiator) should be checkedperiodically for accumulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc. These can interfere with maximum cooling effi-ciency. When removing such accumu- lations, brush or hose them away care- fully to avoid bending the cooling fans.CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
G130A01A-AAT (If Installed) To Check the Clutch Fluid The clutch fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked when per- forming other under hood services. Thesystem should be checked for leakage at the same time. Check to make certain that the clutchfluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reser- voir. Fill as required. Fluid loss indi-cates a leak in the clutch system which should be inspected and repaired im- mediately. Consult your Hyundai dealer.
