SPARE TYRE
(If the air conditioning had been in use, it is normal for cold water to bedraining from it when you stop).
WARNING:
While the engine is running, keep hair, hands and clothing away from moving parts such as the fan anddrive belts to prevent injury. 6. If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the enginetemperature has returned to normal. Then, if coolant has been lost, care- fully add engine coolant to the reser-voir (page 6-7) to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. Ifoverheating happens again, call aHyundai dealer for assistance.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or coolant is leaking out, stop theengine immediately and call the near-est Hyundai dealer for assistance.
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. This can allow coolant to be blown out of the open-ing and cause serious burns.
! CAUTION:
Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai dealer. D040A01A-DAT For Full Size The following instructions for the FULL SIZE spare tyre should be observed: Check inflation pressure as soon as practical after installing the spare tyre,and adjust to the specified pressure. The tyre pressure should be periodi- cally checked and maintained at thespecified pressure while the tyre is stored. Spare Tyre Pressure

4CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL
G030A02O-GAT Recommended Oil Engine oil is essential to the perfor- mance and service of the engine. It is suggested that you check the oil levelat least once a week in normal use and more often if you are on a trip or driving in severe conditions. The engine oil quality should meet the following classification. API SJ, SL or ABOVE, ILSAC GF-3 or ABOVE

MAINTENANCE PRECAU- TIONS
!
G020D01TG-DAT Improper or incomplete service may result in problems. This section gives instructions only for the maintenance items that are easy to perform.Several procedures should be done by an authorised Hyundai dealer. NOTE: Improper owner maintenance dur- ing the warranty period may affect warranty coverage. WARNING:
o Performing maintenance work on a vehicle can be dangerous. Youcan be seriously injured while performing some maintenanceprocedures. If you lack sufficient knowledge and experience or the proper tools and equipment to dothe work, have it done by an authorised Hyundai dealer.
o Working under the bonnet with the engine running is dangerous.It becomes even more dangerous when you wear jewelry or looseclothing. These can become en- tangled in moving parts and result ininjury. Therefore, if you mustrun the engine while working un- der the bonnet, make certain that you remove all jewelry (especiallyrings, bracelets, watches, and necklaces) and all neckties, scarves, and similar loose cloth-ing before getting near the engine or cooling fans.

WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the engine coolant is under pres-sure and may erupt through the open- ing if the cap is removed. You could be seriously burned if you do notobserve this precaution. Do not re- move the radiator cap until the radia- tor is cool to touch. NOTE: It is recommended that the engine coolant should be changed by an authorised Hyundai dealer. G050B01A-AAT Recommended Engine Coolant Use a high quality ethylene-glycol cool- ant in a 50/50 mix with water. Theengine coolant should be compatible with aluminum engine parts. Additional corrosion inhibitors or additives shouldnot be used. The cooling system must be maintained with the correct con- centration and type of engine coolantto prevent freezing and corrosion. Never allow the concentration of anti- freeze to exceed the 60% level or gobelow the 35% level, or damage to the cooling system may result. For proper concentration when adding or replac-ing the engine coolant, refer to the following table.
G050C01TG-DAT 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 bebetween the "L" and "F" lines on the reservoir when the engine is warm with it at idle. If the level is below the "L"mark, add coolant to bring it up to "F". If the level is low, inspect for coolant leaks and recheck the fluid level fre-quently. If the level drops again, visit your Hyundai dealer for inspection and diagnosis of the reason for the coolantleak.

8CHANGING THE AIR CLEANER FILTER
G070A03Y-AAT
The 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 arerecommended.
!! CAUTION:
o Engine coolant can damage the finish of your car. If you spill cool- ant on the car, wash it off thor- oughly with clean water.
o The engine in your vehicle has aluminium engine parts and mustbe protected by an ethylene-gly-col base coolant to prevent corro- sion and freezing. Do not use hard (tap) water. Hardwater can cause engine damage from corrosion, overheating or freezing. WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by en- gine 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 that youare 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.

CHECKING THE BRAKES
G120B01A-AAT Checking the Brake Fluid Level WARNING:
Use caution when handling brake fluid. It can damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. It will also dam-age your vehicle's paint if spilled on it and not removed immediately.
G120A01A-AAT
!
CAUTION:
Because brakes are essential to the safe operation of the car, it is sug- gested that they be checked andinspected by your Hyundai dealer. The brakes should be checked and inspected for wear at those inter-vals specified in the vehicle mainte- nance schedule in Section 5.
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.
G110D03MC
Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine 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 au- tomatically shut off. This is a nor- mal condition.

15AIR CONDITIONING CARE
G140C01A-AAT Lubrication To lubricate the compressor and the seals in the system, the air condition-ing should be run for at least 10 min- utes each week. This is particularly important during cool weather whenthe air conditioning system is not oth- erwise in use.
G140A01A-DAT Keeping the Condenser Clean The air conditioning condenser (and engine radiator) should be checked periodically for accumulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc. These caninterfere with maximum cooling effi- ciency. When removing such accumu- lations, brush or hose them away care-fully to avoid bending the cooling fans. Replacement of the filter drier To comply with local Australian State codes and Laws the filter drier must be replaced if the system has been openedto the atmosphere for any reason or if
during servicing no refrigerant is found in the system.
!
G140B01A-AAT Checking the Air Conditioning Operation
1. Start the engine and let it run at fast
idle for several minutes with the air conditioning set at the maximum cold setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash
vents is not cold, have the air condi-tioning system inspected by your Hyundai dealer.
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning systemfor extended periods of time with a low refrigerant level may damage the compressor.
