o Brake Hoses and Lines Visually check for proper installation, chafing, cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts immediately. 6ZF070G2-A
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 to DOT 3 or DOT 4.
6ZF070H1-A
o Rear Brake Drums And
Linings/Parking Brake
Check the rear brake drums and lin-
ings for scoring, burning, leaking fluid, broken parts, and excessive wear. In- spect the parking brake system in- cluding the parking brake lever andcables. For detailed service proce- dures, refer to the Shop Manual.
6ZF070D1-A
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 engine and transaxle are at normal operating temperature. Check the automatictransaxle fluid level with the engine running 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 approved byHyundai Motor Co., when adding or changing fluid.

4. Remove the engine oil filler cap.
5. Slide underneath the car and loosen
the oil pan drain plug by turning it counterclockwise oil pan with a wrench of the proper size. Be surethat a drain pan is in position to catch the oil as it drains out, then remove the drain plug.
WARNING:
Be very careful when draining theengine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you!
6. When the oil has stopped draining, replace the drain plug using a new gasket and retighten by turning it clockwise. Oil pan drain plug tightening torque : 3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m
7. Pull out the oil filter upper cap with element from the oil filter housing.Using a clean cloth, remove any dirtor oil accumulated around the oilfilter housing. 8. After mounting a new centrepipe O-
ring, new oil filter element and newO-ring to upper cap, install the up- per cap to oil filter housing and retighten by turning it clockwise. Donot over-tighten. Tightening torque : 2.5 kgf.m
CAUTION:
Do not use old oil filter upper cap O- ring and centrepipe O-ring.
!
9. Refill the crankcase with the recom- mended engine oil. Refer to the specification in chapter 9 for engine oil capacity.
CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oilinto a funnel. Do not overfill to preverd engine to camage.
! 10. Start the engine and check to be
sure no oil is leaking from the drain plug or oil filter.
11. Shut off the engine and recheck
the oil level.
NOTE:
o It is recommended that the en- gine oil and filter should be changed by an Hyundai authorised repairer.
o Always dispose of used engine oil in an environmentally accept-able manner. It is suggested that it be placed in a sealed container and taken to a service station formaybe reclaimation. Do not pour the oil on the ground or put it into the household trash.
WARNING:
Used motor oil may cause irritation or cancer of the skin if left in contact with the skin for prolonged periodsof time. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water as soon as possible after handling used oil.

2. Pump the hand pump until there are
no more bubbles in the fuel coming out of the air pipe. When doing this, place a cloth around the air pipe to prevent the escaping fuel from spew-ing about.
3. Replace the air cap when there are no more bubbles in the fuel.
4. Continue pumping until the hand pump becomes stiff.
5. Finally, check to be sure that there
is no leakage of fuel. If in doubt, consult your nearest Hyundai authorised repairer. G350B01FC

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. Remove the air cap with pushing
the button.

SH020A1-E
Catalytic Convertor Operation Precautions ; For a petrol engine
HFC505
Hyundai Matrix models are fitted with
catalytic convertors which require spe- cial operating considerations. The cata- lytic convertor serves to oxidize cer-tain noxious elements of the exhaust gases leaving the engine to reduce the level of pollutants emitted from thevehicle and, provided that care is ex- ercised to prevent damage, the cata- lyst will operate efficiently for the lifeof the vehicle.
Catalytic Converter It is of the utmost importance that the
following information is read and un- derstood by the vehicle operator in order to prevent operational problems arising from damage to the catalyst.
Damage to the catalyst will result if
contamination occurs through the useof leaded fuel. Whilst the vehicle isfitted with a reduced diameter filler neck to prevent charging of the fuel tank with a leaded fuel pump nozzle, itis possible that the use of funnels or fuel cans will permit leaded fuel to be introduced into the fuel tank.
The catalyst is intolerant of unburnt
fuel and therefore if an engine misfirecondition exists, damage to the cata- lyst will occur. It is imperative that if a misfire condition develops, the ve-hicle is immediately presented to a Hyundai authorised repairer for rectifi- cation. Similarly, the practice of cer-tain ignition system diagnosis proce- dures which involve inducing a misfire (cylinder power balance tests for ex-ample) may result in catalyst damage. For these reasons, it is advisable thatthe exhaust gas emission be tested ateach routine service with a gas ana- lyzer having a Hydrocarbon measuring facility to ensure continued reliabilityof the catalyst.Push or tow starting of the vehicle is tobe avoided since unburnt fuel mayenter the catalyst and result in dam- age. (Note, it is impossible to push or tow start a Hyundai model equippedwith fuel injection since the fuel pump safety interlock will prevent the pump from operating under these conditions).Operation of the catalyst involves ex-tremely high temperatures being at-tained within the catalytic convertor, and although the convertor is fitted with heat shields, it is important thatthe vehicle is not parked over combus- tible or volatile material which may result in fire. If the above precautions are not ad- hered to and the catalyst becomes inoperative, the resultant increase incore temperature will result in a "melt down" where the catalyst core will melt and subsequently may block the ex-haust system.

WHEEL REPLACEMENT
The original wheels may only be re-
placed with Hyundai Approved wheels.
Tyres of different size, construction or
tread pattern should not be intermixed on the same axle. Radial and cross plytyres should not be used on the same vehicle.
The use of tyres and wheels of non
approved sizes can be dangerous.
WARNING:
o Driving on worn or defective tyres is dangerous. Worn tyres may cause loss of steering control and a serious deterioration of braking efficiency. Defective tyresmay cause vibration and loss of control through blow outs.
o Your vehicle is equipped with tyres designed to provide for saferide and handling capability. Do not use a size and type of tyre and wheel that is different from the one that is originally installedon your vehicle.
SI060B1-E
TYRE REPLACEMENT
0.06 in.(1.6 mm)
Wear indicator I090A02FC
Tyres must be replaced when the wear
indicators appear as a solid bar across the tyre tread. At this point, the re- maining tread depth will be approxi- mately 0.06 in.(1.6 mm). In addition tothis, the tyre must be replaced if any portion of the tread has become bald or if there are any lumps, bulges ordeep cuts in the sidewalls or tread. Replacement tyres must be of the
recommended size and rating andshould be of the same manufacture and tread pattern on each axle.
It can affect the safety and perfor- mance of your vehicle, whichcould lead to handling failure or rollover and serious injury. When replacing the tyres, be sure to equip all four tyres with the tyre and wheel of the same size,type, tread, brand and load-carry- ing capacity. If you nevertheless decide to equip your vehicle withany tyre/wheel combination not recommended by Hyundai for off- road driving, you should not usethese tyres for highway driving.
o Tyres degrade over time, even
when they are not being used.Regardless of the remaining tread, it is recommended that tyres gen- erally be replaced after six (6)years of normal service. Heat caused by hot climates or fre- quent high loading conditions canaccelerate the aging process. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tyre failure, whichcould lead to a loss of control and an accident involving seri- ous injury or death.
