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.

Petrol engine The engine oil and filter must be changed at the time or mileage inter-val specified in the maintenance sched- ule. If the vehicle is operated under severe or adverse conditions, the oiland filter must be replaced more fre- quently. To replace the oil and filter, proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that the engine is at normal operating temperature and park the vehicle on level ground with the parking brake securely applied andthe engine turned off.
2. Open the bonnet and remove the oil filler cap.
3. Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the displaced oil and re-move the drain plug from the sump.
CAUTION:
The oil being drained from the en-gine will be hot. Care should beexercised to prevent scalding. 4. When the oil has drained from the
sump, replace the drain plug usinga new gasket ensuring that the plug is not over tightened.
5. Remove the oil filter by rotating counterclockwise, using a propri-etary oil filter removal tool if neces- sary. Note that the oil filter willcontain approximately 0.5 litres of oil and this should be collected in a suitable receptacle.
6. Install a new oil filter having smeared
the sealing ring with clean oil androtating clockwise until the filter contacts the mounting and then a further one half turn. Do not over-tighten Tightening torque: 2.3 ~ 2.5 kgf.m
7. Remove the engine oil level dip- stick.
8. Pour the specified quantity of the
recommended oil into the engine and replace the filler cap. Start the engine and ensure that no oil leaksexist. Turn off the engine and after a couple minutes, recheck the oil level.

The engine oil and filter should be
changed at those intervals specified in the maintenance schedule in Section 5. If the car is being driven in severe conditions, more frequent oil and filter changes are required.
The procedure for changing the oil and
filter is as follows:
1. Park the car on level ground and set the parking brake. Start the engine and let it warm up until the needle on the coolant temperature gauge moves above the lowest mark. Turn the engine off and place the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic) or reverse gear (manual transaxle). 2. Open the bonnet and remove the
engine oil level dipstick.
3. Loosen the oil filter upper cap with a proper tool from the oil filter housing until an O-ring is seen. Then, drainthe oil completely.
CAUTION:
Slowly loosen the oil filter uppercap not to overflow the oil.
!

CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oil into a funnel. Do not overfill to prevent engine to damage.!
WARNING:
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oils may result in seri- ous skin disorders including der- matitis and cancer. Avoid contact with skin as far as possible andalways wash thoroughly after any contact. Keep used oils out of reach of children. It is illegal to pollutedrains, water courses and soil. Use only authorized waste collection facilities including civic amenitysites and garages for the disposal of used oil and oil filters. If in doubt, contact the local authority for dis-posal instructions.

To Check the Coolant Level If the level is below the "L" mark, add coolant of the correct concentrationuntil the level is between the "L" and "F" marks. If the level falls below the "L" mark on a regular basis despitebeing topped up, consult a Hyundai authorised repairer.

Petrol engine
Diesel engine
The engine coolant level may be observed through the side of the plas- tic coolant reservoir (expansion tank) when the engine is cold.
G050D01FC
SG050D2-E
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.

Checking the automatic transaxle fluid level
The automatic transaxle fluid level
should be checked regularly.
Keep the vehicle on the level ground
with the parking brake applied and check the fluid level according to thefollowing procedure. HFC5008
G110C01FC-EAT
Fluid Capacity
The total fluid capacity of the trans-mission unit is 6.1 litres (1.6 DOHC)/ 6.7 litres(1.8 DOHC).
! CAUTION:
The transaxle fluid level should be checked when the engine is at nor-mal operating temperature. This means that the engine, radia- tor, exhaust system etc., are very hot so you should exercise great care not to burn yourself during thisprocedure. 1. Place the selector lever in N (Neu-
tral) position and confirm the engineis running at normal idle speed.
2. After the transaxle is warmed up
sufficiently (fluid temperature70~80°C (158~176°F)), for example by 10 minutes usual driving, shift the selector lever through all posi-tions then place the selector lever in N (Neutral) or P (Park) position.
