WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the radiator
hose when checking the engine oil as it
may be hot enough to burn you.
!
CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oil by
using a funnel. Do not overfill so as not to
damage engine.

WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the radiator
hose when adding the engine oil as it may
be hot enough to burn you.
G030D02MC-AATAdding OilIf the oil level is close to or below the "L"
mark, add oil until it reaches the "F" mark.
To add oil:
1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning it
counterclockwise.
2. Add oil, then check the level again. Do
not overfill.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clockwise.
The distance between the "F" and "L" marks
is equal to about 1 quart of oil.
OCM055003L
NOTE:o It is recommended that the engine oil
and filter should be changed by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Always dispose of used engine oil in
an environmentally acceptable man-
ner. It is suggested that it be placed in
a sealed container and taken to a
service station for reclaimation. Do
not pour the oil on the ground or put it
into the household trash.

G050C01TG-AATTo Check the Coolant LevelThe coolant level can be seen on the side
of the plastic coolant reservoir. The level of
the coolant should be between the "L" and
"F" lines on the reservoir when the engine
is cool. If the level is below the "L" mark, add
engine coolant to bring it up between "L"
and "F". If the level is low, inspect for
coolant leaks and recheck the fluid level
frequently. If the level drops again, visit
your Hyundai dealer for an inspection and
diagnosis of the reason.
OCM055004L
!
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may some-
times operate even when the engine is
not running. Use extreme caution when
working near the blades of the cooling
fan so that you are not injured by a
rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant
temperature decreases, the fan will au-
tomatically shut off. This is a normal
condition.
CAUTION:
o Engine coolant can damage the finish
of your car. If you spill engine coolant
on the car, wash it off thoroughly with
clean water.
o The engine in your vehicle has alumi-
num engine parts and must be pro-
tected by an ethylene-glycol base
coolant to prevent corrosion and freez-
ing.
Do not use hard water. Hard water can
cause engine damage from corro-
sion, overheating or freezing.
!
CHANGING THE AIR
CLEANER FILTERG070A03Y-AATThe replacement of air cleaner filter is
performed in the following manner.
1. Unsnap the clips around the cover.
2. When this is done, the cover can be
lifted off, the old filter removed and the
new filter put in its place.
Genuine Hyundai replacement parts are
recommended.
CAUTION:
o Operating your vehicle without a
proper air filter in place can result in
excessive engine wear.
o When removing the air cleaner filter,
be careful that dust or dirt does not
enter the air intake. These may result
in damage to the air cleaner filter.

CHANGING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL AIR FILTERB145A01CM-AAT(For Evaporator and Blower Unit)
(If Installed)The climate control air filter is located in
front of the evaporator unit behind the
glove box.
It helps to decrease the amount of pollut-
ants entering the car.
1. Open the glove box and remove the
adjusting pins on both sides of the glove
box.
OCM055010
2. Pull the damper strap on the right side
of the glove box through the hole.
3. Lower down the glove box completely.

CHECKING AND REPLACING
FUSESG200A03A-AATReplacing a Fusible LinkA fusible link will melt if the electrical cir-
cuits from the battery are ever overloaded,
thus preventing damage to the entire wir-
ing harness. (This could be caused by a
short in the system drawing too much cur-
rent.) If this ever happens, have a Hyundai
dealer determine the cause, repair the
system and replace the fusible link. The
fusible links are located in a relay box in the
engine compartement for easy inspection.
OCM054003
5. Replace the air conditioner filter by lift-
ing it.
6. Installation is the reverse order of disas-
sembly.
HNF2165
CAUTION:
To prevent pollutants from entering the
car, be sure to properly install the air
conditioner filter.
!
(If Installed)The parking brake pedal should be
checked periodically for proper stroke. If
you feel looseness in the parking brake
pedal when the parking brake is engaged,
have your parking brake adjusted by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.CHECKING PARKING
BRAKE PEDALG185A02TG-GAT
CAUTION:
If the parking brake pedal is not adjusted
properly, the vehicle may roll backwards
when parking on a steep hill.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS2
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
H010B01A-AAT1. Crankcase Emission Control
SystemThe positive crankcase ventilation system
is employed to prevent air pollution caused
by blow-by gases being emitted from the
crankcase. This system supplies filtered
air to the crankcase through the air intake
hose. Inside the crankcase, the fresh air
mixes with blow-by gases, which then pass
through the PCV valve and into the induc-
tion system.
H010A01NF-AATYour Hyundai is equipped with an emis-
sion control system to meet all emission
regulations.
There are three emission control systems
which are as follows.
(1) Crankcase emission control system
(2) Evaporative emission control system
(3) Exhaust emission control system
In order to assure the proper function of the
emission control systems, it is recom-
mended that you have your car inspected
and maintained by an authorized Hyundai
dealer in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in this manual.
Caution for the Inspection and Mainte-
nance Test (With Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system)
o To prevent the vehicle from misfiring
during dynamometer testing, turn the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) sys-
tem off by pressing the ESC switch.
o After dynamometer testing is com-
pleted, turn the ESC system back on
by pressing the ESC switch again.
H010C01S-AAT2. Evaporative Emission Control (In-
cluding ORVR: Onboard Refuel-
ing Vapor Recovery) SystemThe Evaporative Emission Control Sys-
tem is designed to prevent fuel vapors from
escaping into the atmosphere.
(The ORVR system is designed to allow
the vapors from the fuel tank to be loaded
into a canister while refueling at the gas
station, preventing the escape of fuel va-
pors into the atmosphere.)CanisterFuel vapors generated inside the fuel tank
are absorbed and stored in the canister.
When the engine is running, the fuel va-
pors absorbed in the canister are drawn
into the induction system through the purge
control solenoid valve.
