1- 54 FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
B270A01A-AAT BRAKE PAD WEAR WARNING SOUND The front disc brake pads have wear indicators that should make a high-pitched squealing or scraping noise when new pads are needed. The sound may come and go or be heard all thetime when the vehicle is moving. It may also be heard when the brake pedal is pushed down firmly. Exces-sive rotor damage will result if the worn pads are not replaced. See your Hyundai dealer immediately.
B900A01A-GAT ACOUSTIC WARNING SOUND (If Installed) The acoustic warning chime sounds when the tail lights are on and the door in driver side is open. This prevents the battery from discharging when the car is left withthe tail lights on. The chime sounds until the tail lights are turned off.
B265A01B-GAT
Fuel Filter Warning Light-Red (Diesel Engine)
This light illuminates when the ignition switch is set to the "ON" position and goes off after the engine has started. Ifit lights up while the engine is running, it indicates that water has accumu- lated inside the fuel filter. If this hap-pens, remove the water from the fuel
filter. (Refer to "6-28 page")
B290A02TB-AAT Engine Coolant Tempera-
ture Indicator (If installed)
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The engine cool-ant is under pressure and could erupt and cause severe burns. Wait until the engine is cool before re-moving the radiator cap.
!
Type A These indicators show the temperature of the engine coolant when the ignition switch is ON. Red indicator illuminates if the temperature of the engine coolantis above 120±3°C (248±5.5°F). Blue indicator Illuminates if the tem-
perature of the engine coolant is below60±3°C (140±5.5°F). If the red indicator illuminates, pull over and stop as soon as possible and turnoff the engine. Then open the hood and check the coolant level (See "If the engine overheats" on the page 3-4.) andthe water pump drive belt. If you sus- pect cooling system trouble, have your cooling system checked by a Hyundaidealer as soon as possible. Type B The indicator shows the temperature of the engine coolant when the ignitionswitch is ON. The red indicator illuminates if the tem- perature of the engine coolant is above117±3°C (240±5.5°F). Do not continue driving with an over- heated engine. If your vehicle over-heats, refer to “Overheating” in the In- dex. NOTE: If the red engine temperature indica- tor illuminates, it indicates overheat- ing that may damage the engine.
DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI 2- 17
C160B01A-GAT Snowy or Icy Conditions To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be necessary to use snow tires orto install tire chains on your tires. If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to select tires equivalent in size andtype to the original equipment tires. Failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your car.Speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and sharp turns are potentially very hazardous prac-tices. During deceleration, use engine braking to the fullest extent. Sudden brake applications on snowy or icyroads may cause skids to occur. You need to keep sufficient distance be- tween the vehicle in front and yourvehicle. Also, apply the brake gently. It should be noted that installing tire chains on the tire will provide a greaterdriving force, but will not prevent side skids. NOTE: Tire chains are not legal in all prov- inces. Check province laws before fitting tire chains. C160C01A-AAT Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol Coolant Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It is the only type ofcoolant that should be used because it helps prevent corrosion in the cooling system, lubricates the water pump andprevents freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish your coolant in accor- dance with the maintenance schedulein Section 5. Before winter, have your coolant tested to assure that its freez- ing point is sufficient for the tempera-tures anticipated during the winter.
C160D01A-AAT Check Battery and Cables Winter puts additional burdens on the battery system. Visually inspect thebattery and cables as described in Section 6. The level of charge in your battery can be checked by your Hyun-dai dealer or a service station. C160E01A-AAT Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if Necessary In some climates it is recommended that a lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be used during cold weather. See Section 9 for recommendations. If youaren't sure what weight oil you should use, consult your Hyundai dealer.
WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY 3- 5
Inflation Pressure
Tire Size
T105/70D14 420 kPa (60 psi)
2. The spare tire should only be used temporarily and should be returned to the luggage compartment as soonas the original tire can be repaired or replaced.
3. Continuous use at speeds of over 80 km/h (50 mph) is not recom-mended.
4. As the temporary spare tire is spe-
cifically designed for your car, itshould not be used on any other vehicle.
D040A01TB-GAT TEMPORARY SPARE TIRE The following instructions for the tem- porary spare tire should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon as
practical after installing the spare tire, and adjust to the specified pres- sure. The tire pressure should be periodically checked and maintainedat the specified pressure while the tire is stored.
Spare Tire Pressure
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. This can allowcoolant to be blown out of the open- ing and cause serious burns.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the engine temperature has returned to nor-mal. Then, if the engine coolant has been lost, carefully add coolant to the reservoir (page 6-9) to bring thefluid level in the reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert
for further signs of overheating. Ifoverheating happens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assistance.
CAUTION:
!
!
!
Serious loss of engine coolant indi- cates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checkedas soon as possible by a Hyundai dealer. 5. The temporary spare tire should not
be used on any other wheels, nor should standard tires, snow tires,wheel covers or trim rings be used with the temporary spare wheel. If such use is attempted, damage tothese items or other car compo- nents may occur.
6. The temporary spare tire pressure should be checked once a monthwhile the tire is stored.
CAUTION:
o Do not use snow chains with your temporary spare tire.
o Do not use more than one tempo-
rary spare tire at a time.
VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS 5- 9
F060H01A-AAT
o Air Cleaner Filter
A Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is recommended when filter is replaced. F060J01A-AAT
o Spark Plugs
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range. F070C01A-AAT o Engine Coolant The coolant should be changed at the intervals specified in the mainte- nance schedule. F070D01A-AAT
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 engineand transaxle are at normal operating temperature. Check the automatic transaxle fluid level with the enginerunning 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 appraoved by Hyundai Motor Co., when adding orchanging fluid.
F060F01A-AAT
o Vacuum, Crankcase Ventila-
tion Hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi-dence of heat and/or mechanical dam-age. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessive swelling indicate deterioration. Partic-ular attention should be paid to exam- ine those hose surfaces nearest to high heat sources, such as the ex-haust manifold.Inspect the hose routing to assurethat the hoses do not come in contact with any heat source, sharp edges or moving component which might causeheat damage or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose connections, such as clamps and couplings, to make surethey are secure, and that no leaks are present. Hoses should be replaced immediately if there is any evidenceof deterioration or damage. F070B01A-GAT
o Cooling System
Check the cooling system part, such
as radiator, coolant reservoir, hosesand connections for leakage and dam- age. Replace any damaged parts. F060N01X-GAT
o Valve clearances (1.1 L)
Incorrect valve clearance will not only
result in unsteady engine operation,but will also cause excessive noise and reduced engine performance. In-spect valve clearance and adjust as required while the engine is hot.
Valve-to-rocker arm clearance Intake valves ..... 0.2 mm (0.008 in.) Exhaust valves ... 0.25 mm (0.010 in.)
