CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE 4- 5
CAUTION:!
o Water washing in the engine com- partment including high pressure water washing may cause the fail-ure of electrical circuits located in the engine compartment.
o Never allow water or other liquids to come in contact with electrical/electronic components inside the vehicle as this may damage them.
OJB037800 E030D01A-AAT When to Wax Again You should polish and wax the car again when water no longer beads ona clean surface but spreads out over a larger area. E030E01A-AAT Maintaining Bumpers Special precautions must be observed to preserve the appearance of the bumpers on your Hyundai. They are:
o Be careful not to spill battery elec-
trolyte or hydraulic brake fluid on the bumpers. If you do, wash it off im- mediately with clear water.
o Be gentle when cleaning the bumper
surfaces. They are made of softplastic and the surface can be dam- aged if mistreated. Do not use abra-sive cleaners. Use warm water and mild soap or car-washing solution.
o Do not expose the bumpers to high
temperatures. For example, if youhave your car repainted, do not leave the bumpers on the car if thecar is going to be placed in a high- temperature paint booth.
E030B01A-AAT Spot Cleaning Don't use gasoline, strong solvents or corrosive cleaning agents. These candamage the finish of the car. To re- move road tar, use turpentine on a clean, soft cloth or commercially avail-able bug and tar remover. Be gentle. To remove dead insects or tree sap, use warm water and mild soap or car-washing solution. Soak the spot and rub gently. If the paint has lost its luster, use a commercial car-cleaningpolish. E030C01A-AAT Polishing and Waxing Always wash and dry the car before polishing or waxing or using a combi- nation cleaner and wax. Use a goodquality commercial product and follow the manufacturer's directions on the container. Polish and wax the brighttrim pieces as well as the paint.

of the correct heat range. F070C01A-AAT o Engine Coolant The coolant should be changed at the intervals specified in the mainte- nance schedule. F070D01A-AAT
o Manual Transaxle Oil Inspect the manual transaxle oil ac- cording to the maintenance schedule. NOTE: If the oil level is low, check for possible leaks before adding oil. Do not overfill. F070E05A-AAT
o Automatic Transaxle Fluid The fluid level should be in the "HOT" range of the dipstick, after the engineand transaxle are at normal operating temperature. Check the automatic transaxle fluid level with the enginerunning and the transaxle in neutral, with the parking brake properly ap- plied. Use Hyundai Genuine ATF SP-III, DIAMOND ATF SP-III, SK ATF SP-III or other brands appraoved by Hyundai Motor Co., when adding orchanging fluid.
F060F01A-AAT
o Vacuum, Crankcase Ventila-
tion Hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi-dence of heat and/or mechanical dam-age. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessive swelling indicate deterioration. Partic-ular attention should be paid to exam- ine those hose surfaces nearest to high heat sources, such as the ex-haust manifold.Inspect the hose routing to assurethat the hoses do not come in contact with any heat source, sharp edges or moving component which might causeheat damage or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose connections, such as clamps and couplings, to make surethey are secure, and that no leaks are present. Hoses should be replaced immediately if there is any evidenceof deterioration or damage. F070B01A-GAT
o Cooling System
Check the cooling system part, such
as radiator, coolant reservoir, hosesand connections for leakage and dam- age. Replace any damaged parts. F060N01X-GAT
o Valve clearances (1.1 L)
Incorrect valve clearance will not only
result in unsteady engine operation,but will also cause excessive noise and reduced engine performance. In-spect valve clearance and adjust as required while the engine is hot.

G030B03TB-GAT CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL Diesel EngineRecommended Oil Engine oil is essential to the perfor- mance and service of the engine. It is suggested that you check the oil level every 500km or before starting a longtrip and more often if you are driving in severe conditions. The engine oil quality should meet the following classification: API class: CH4 or ABOVE ACEA class: B4 or ABOVE
NOTE:
o For good fuel economy, SAE 5W-
20 (5W-30), ILSAC GF-3 engine oil is preferred regardless of regionaloption and engine variation.
o If SAE 5W-20, ILSAC GF-3 engine
oil is not available, secondary rec-ommended engine oil for corre- sponding temperature range can be used.

G110A02E-AAT CHECKING THE TRANSAXLE FLUID (AUTOMATIC) 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 the changing color.You must replace the automatic transaxle fluid in accordance with intervals specified in the vehiclemaintenance schedule in section 5. G110B04A-AAT Recommended Fluid Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is specially designed to operate withHyundai Genuine ATF SP-III, DIA- MOND ATF SP-III, SK ATF SP-III or other brands approved by Hyundai MotorCo., Damage caused by a nonspecified fluid is not covered by your new vehicle limited warranty.G110C01TB-GAT Transaxle Fluid Capacity The fluid capacity of the automatic transaxle is 6.1 liters.
WARNING:
The transaxle fluid level should bechecked 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.
