G050C02A-GAT To Check the Coolant Level The 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 cold. If thelevel is below the "L" mark, add engine coolant to bring it up between "L" and "F". If the level is low, inspect forcoolant leaks and recheck the fluid level frequently. If the level drops again, visit your Hyundai dealer for an inspec-tion and diagnosis of the reason.

G050B01A-AAT Recommended Engine Coolant
Use a high quality ethylene-glycol cool- ant in a 50/50 mix with water. The engine coolant should be compatiblewith aluminum engine parts. Additional corrosion inhibitors or additives should not be used. The cooling system mustbe maintained with the correct con- centration and type of engine coolant to prevent freezing and corrosion.Never allow the concentration of anti- freeze to exceed the 60% level or go below the 35% level, or damage to thecooling system may result. For proper concentration when adding or replac- ing the engine coolant, refer to thefollowing table.

The cooling fan is controlled by en- gine coolant temperature and maysometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant tem-perature decreases, the fan will auto- matically shut off. This is a normal condition.

The washer fluid reservoir supplies fluid to the windshield washer system.
To install the wiper blade Install the blade assembly in the re- verse order of removal.
CAUTION:
o Radiator antifreeze (engine cool- ant) should not be used in the washer system because it will damage the car's finish.
o The washer lever should not be pulled and the washer shouldnot be operated if the washer reservoir is empty. This can dam-age the washer fluid pump.
!
A good quality washer fluid should be used to fill the washer reservoir. The fluid level should be checked morefrequently during bad weather or when- ever the washer system is in more frequent use.The capacity of the washer reservoir is 3.0 liters (3.2 U.S. quarts).

Transaxle lubricant in the manual transaxle should be checked at those intervals specified in the vehicle main-tenance schedule in Section 5. Recommended Oil Use only HYUNDAI GENUINE PARTS MTF 75W/85 (API GL-4) in the manual transaxle. Manual Transaxle Oil Capacity The oil capacity of the manual transaxle is 2.15 liters for gasoline engine and 2.0 liters for diesel engine.
!WARNING:
o Windshield washer fluid agents contain some amounts of alcohol and can be flammable under cer- tain circumstances. Do not allow sparks or flame to contact thewasher fluid or the washer fluid reservoir. Damage to the vehicle or its occupants could occur.
o Windshield washer fluid is poi- sonous to humans and animals.Do not drink windshield washerfluid. Serious injury or death could occur. NOTE: It is recommended that the manual transaxle fluid should be checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

G110A02E-AAT CHECKING THE TRANSAXLE FLUID (AUTOMATIC) Transaxle fluid in the automatic transaxle should be checked at those intervals specified in the vehicle main-tenance schedule in Section 5. NOTE: Automatic transaxle fluid is basi- cally a red color. As driving distance increases, the fluid color turns dark- ish red gradually. It is normal condi-tion and you should not judge the need to replace based upon the changing color.You must replace the automatic transaxle fluid in accordance with intervals specified in the vehiclemaintenance schedule in section 5. G110B04A-AAT Recommended Fluid Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is specially designed to operate withHyundai Genuine ATF SP-III, DIA- MOND ATF SP-III, SK ATF SP-III or other brands approved by Hyundai MotorCo., Damage caused by a nonspecified fluid is not covered by your new vehicle limited warranty.G110C01TB-GAT Transaxle Fluid Capacity The fluid capacity of the automatic transaxle is 6.1 liters.
WARNING:
The transaxle fluid level should bechecked when the engine is at nor-mal operating temperature. This means that the engine, radiator, exhaust system etc., are very hot.Exercise great care not to burn your- self during this procedure.

Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
HTB164 3. Confirm if the fluid level is in the
“HOT” range on the level gauge. If the fluid level is lower, add the speci- fied fluid from the fill hole. If the fluid level is higher, drain the fluid from thedrain hole.
4. If the fluid level is checked in cold
condition[fluid temperature 20~30°C(68~86°F)], add the fluid to the “COLD” line and then recheck the fluid level according to the above step 2.
The automatic transaxle fluid levelshould be checked regularly. Keep the vehicle on level ground with the parking brake applied and check thefluid level according to the following procedure.
1. Place the shift lever in N(neutral)
position and confirm the engine is running at idle speed.
2. After the transaxle is warmed up sufficiently [fluid temperature70~80°C (158~176°F)], for exampleby 10 minutes usual driving, move the shift lever through all positions then place the shift lever in N(neutral)or P(park) position.

WARNING (DIESEL ONLY):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 secondsafter shutting off engine. High pres- sure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes are subjected to highpressure even after the engine has been switched off. The fuel jet pro- duced by fuel leaks may cause seri-ous injury, if it contacts with the body. People using pacemakers should not move closer than 30cm tothe ECU or wiring harness within the engine room with the engine run- ning, since the high currents in the Common Rail system produce con- siderable magnetic fields.
