IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
21BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM
CAUTION:
If overheating should occur when towing, (temperature gauge reads near red zone), taking the followingaction may reduce or eliminate the problem.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Reduce highway speed.
3. Select a lower gear when going uphill.
4. While in stop and go traffic, place
the gear selection in park or neu-tral and idle the engine at a higher speed.
! E090A01P-GAT (Diesel Motor) The fuel system should be bled to remove air as described in the illustra- tion if the fuel supply is exhaustedduring travel, when the fuel filter is replaced, or if the vehicle is not used for a long time.
1. Loosen the air plug at the top of the
fuel filter. E090A01P
13.Avoid holding the brake pedal down
too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat, re- sulting in reduced braking efficiency.
14.When going down a hill, shift into a
lower gear and use the engine brak-ing effect. When ascending a long grade, downshift the transmissionto a lower gear and reduce speed to reduce chances of engine over- loading and/or overheating.
15.If you have to stop while going uphill, do not hold the vehicle inplace by pressing on the accelera-tor. This can cause the automatic transmission to overheat. Use the parking brake or footbrake.
NOTE: When towing, check transmission fluid more frequently.

F010L01P-GAT
Damaged paint
Small cracks and scratches in the
paint coat should be touched up as soon as possible with HYUNDAI paint pencil or spray paint to prevent corro-sion. Check body areas facing the road or the tires especially carefully for damage to the paint coat caused byflying stones, etc. The paint code num- ber for your vehicle can be found on the vehicle information code plate. F010M01P-GAT
Tar
If tar becomes adhered to the vehicle, use special tar remover to remove it as soon as possible. If the tar leavesa stain, polish the affected area. F010N01P-GAT
Plastic and rubber parts
Use a soft cloth and wash with water.
If necessary, a cleaning agent spe- cially designed for plastics can beused. If engine oil, brake fluid, battery fluid, etc., comes in contact with these parts, wash promptly with water andthen use alcohol to remove the stain completely.
! 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 thevehicle as this may damage them.
OJB037800
F010J02P-GAT Engine compartment Clean the engine compartment at the beginning and end of winter. Pay particualr attention to flanges, crev- ices, and peripheral parts where dustcontaining road chemicals and other corrosive materials might collect. If salt and other chemicals are used on the roads in your area, clean the en- gine compartment at least every threemonths.

2MAINTENANCE INTERVALS
F010C01A-GAT
Specified Scheduled Procedures
These are the procedures such as
inspections, adjustments and replace- ments that are listed in the mainte-nance charts starting on page 6-4. These procedures must be performed at the intervals shown in the mainte-nance schedule to assure that your warranty remains in effect. Although it is strongly recommended that they beperformed by the factory-trained or distributor-trained technicians at your Hyundai dealer, these procedures maybe performed at any qualified service facility. F010D01P-AAT
General Checks
These are the regular checks you should perform when you drive your Hyundai or you fill the fuel tank. A list of these items will be found on page8-6.
F010A01A-GAT Service Requirements To assure that you receive the great- est number of kilometers of satisfying operation from your Hyundai, certain maintenance procedures must be per-formed. Although careful design and engineering have reduced these to a minimum, those that are required areof the utmost importance.It is your responsibility to have thesemaintenance procedures performed to comply with the terms of the warran- ties covering your new Hyundai. TheService Passport supplied with your new vehicle provides further informa- tion about these warranties.
F010B01A-AAT
Maintenance Requirements
The maintenance required for your
Hyundai can be divided into three main areas: o Specified scheduled procedures o General checks o Do-it-yourself maintenance It is suggested that genuine Hyundai
service parts be used for any requiredrepairs or replacements. Other parts of equivalent quality such as engine oil, engine coolant, manual or autotransaxle oil, brake fluid and so on which are not supplied by Hyundai Motor Company or its distributor maybe used without affecting your war- ranty coverage but you should always be sure these are equivalent to thequality of the original Hyundai parts. Your Service Passport provides fur- ther information about your warrantycoverage.

Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts immediately.
G080O01P-GAT
o Brake Fluid
Check brake fluid level in the brake
fluid reservoir. The level should be between "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. Use onlyhydraulic brake fluid conforming SAE J1703.
G080P01P-GAT
o Rear Brake Drums and
Linings
Check for scoring, burning, leaking
fluid, broken parts, and excessive wear. G080Q01P-GAT
o Brake Pads, Calipers and
Rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear, discs for run out and wear, and cali- pers for fluid leakage. G080R01P-GAT
o Parking Brake
Inspect the parking brake system such as parking brake lever, cables, and so on. For detailed service procedures,refer to the Shop Manual.
G080S01P-GAT
o Exhaust Pipe Connections,
Muffler and Suspension Bolts
Check the exhaust pipe, muffler, and
suspension connections for loosenessor damage.
G080L01P-GAT
o Manual Transmission Oil Check manual transmission oil ac- cording to the maintenance schedule. NOTE: If the oil level is low, check for possible leaks before adding oil. Do not overfill. G080M04P-GAT
o Automatic Transmission Fluid The fluid level should be in the "HOT" range of the dipstick, after engine and transmission are at normal operatingtemperature. Check the Automatic Transmission Fluid level with the en- gine running and the transmission inneutral, with the parking brake properly applied. Use MOBIL DEXRON-II, DIA- MOND ATF SP-I or JWS 3309 whenadding or changing fluid.
