ENGINE COOLANT CHECK- ING AND REPLACING
SG050B1-E Coolant recommended G050B01FC
SG050A1-E
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot, since the system is pressurised and coolant may be ejected from the radiator resultingin scalding.
G050B02FC
Petrol engine Diesel engine
Only ethylene glycol based coolantwith a corrosion inhibitor suited to alu- minium alloy engine components should be used in the cooling system. No further additives or inhibitors should be used. The coolant specific gravityshould be checked as prescribed in the maintenance schedule to ensure adequate frost and corrosion protec-tion. In addition, the engine coolant must be replaced at the specified in- terval since the corrosion inhibitor prop-erties deteriorate with time. It is important to note that whilst an
increase in the concentration of antifreeze gives an increase in the level of frost protection, a solution which is in excess of 65% anti freeze will result inreduced frost protection and engine overheating. Therefore the recom- mended concentration of 50% shouldnot be exceeded for general use. The use of methanol based anti freeze
compounds may result in engine over-heating and will invalidate the vehicle warranty.
NOTE: It is imperative that vehicles fitted
with an air conditioning system have a coolant concentration of the rec-ommended strength at all times. The use of the air conditioning sys- tem when the cooling system isfilled with water only will result in the heater matrix freezing and sub- sequently bursting.

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.

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.

6. Start the engine with the radiator cap still removed and continue to add coolant as the level decreases as air is expelled from the system.When the level remains constant, replace the radiator cap and replen- ish the coolant reservoir.
7. When the engine is hot, check to ensure that no coolant leaks arepresent. WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature and maysometimes operate even when theengine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so thatyou are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant tem- perature decreases, the fan will au-tomatically shut off. This is a nor- mal condition.

The level of windscreen washer fluid available should be checked on a daily basis. The level of fluid will be visible through the side of the reservoir.When the fluid is to be replenished, only a proprietary screen wash addi- tive should be used and in the concen- tration recommended by the manufac- turer. The windscreen washer reser- voir has a total capacity of 3 litres.

!CAUTION:
Engine coolant anti freeze must not be used in the windscreen washer system since damage to thepaintwork may result.
Undiluted windscreen washer addi-tive must not be allowed to comeinto contact with the paintwork. If spillage occurs, flush the affected area immediately with water. Do notoperate the windscreen washer for more than 15 seconds continuously or when the reservoir is empty since damage to the washer pump will result.

3. Confirm that the fluid level is in
“HOT” range on the level gauge. If the fluid level is lower, add the specified fluid from the fill hole. If the fluid level is higher, drain thefluid from the drain hole.
4. If the fluid level is checked in cold condition (fluid temperature 20~30°C (68~86°F)) add the fluid to “COLD” line and then recheck the fluid levelaccording to the above step 2. WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when theengine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so thatyou are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant tem- perature decreases, the fan will au-tomatically shut off. This is a nor- mal condition.

Fluid level should be within this range
C090A03FCWARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 sec- onds after shutting off engine. Highpressure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the enginestopped. The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it contacts the body. People using pacemakers should ensure that they keep a distance of 30cm from the ECU or wiring har-ness within the engine room whilst engine is running, since the high currents in the Common Rail sys-tem produce considerable magnetic fields.

The power steering fluid level should be checked daily. 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 fluidmeeting the specification of PSF-3 or Dexron 2 should be used in the power steering system.

G290A01FC-EAT Before performing aiming adjustment,
make sure of the following.
1. Keep all tyres inflated to the correct
pressure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground and press the front bumper & rear bumper down several times. Place the vehicle at a distance of 118 in. (3,000 mm) from the test wall.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant,engine oil and fuel, and spare tyre,jack, and tools).
4. Clean the head lights lens and turn on the headlight (Low beam).
!WARNING:
o Do not smoke or have any other open flame near the vehicle whilst bleeding the fuel system.
o Be sure to carefully wipe away any water drained out in thismanner, because the fuel mixed in the water might be ignited and result in a fire.
Extracting air in the fuel filter If you drove until you have no fuel left
or if you replaced the fuel filter, be sureto extract air in the fuel system as it makes you difficult to start the engine.
1) Remove the air extract nozzle cap
on the fuel filter.
2) Pump up and down until the fuel flows out of the plug opening.
NOTE: Use cloths when you extract air so
that the fuel is not sprayed around. Clean the fuel around the fuel filteror the injection pump before start- ing the engine to prevent fire. Fi- nally, check each part if the fuel isleaking.
