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

DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 6- 5
G030C01FC-DAT To Check the Oil Level Before checking the oil, warm up the engine to normal operating temperature and be sure your car is parked on level ground. Turn the engine off. Wait about five minutes, then remove the dipstick, wipe it off, fully reinsert the dipstick and withdraw it again. Then note the highest level the oil has reached on the dipstick. It should be between the upper ("F") and lower ("L") range. G030D01TB-DAT Adding Oil
HTB169
If 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 counter clockwise.
2. Add oil, then check the level again. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clock-
wise.
The distance between the "F" and "L" marks is equal to about 1.2 litre of oil.
NOTE:
o For good fuel economy, SAE 5W-
20 (5W-30), ILSAC GF-3 engine oil is preferred regardless of regionaloption and engine variation.
o If SAE 5W-20, ILSAC GF-3 engine
oil is not available, secondary rec-ommended engine oil for corre- sponding temperature range can be used.

!WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the radia- tor hose when checking the engine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you.

G050A01TG-AAT CHECKING THE ENGINE COOL- ANT
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 anauthorised Hyundai dealer.
HTB170
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 compatible with aluminum engine parts. Additionalcorrosion inhibitors or additives should not be used. The cooling system must be 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 the cooling system may result. For properconcentration when adding or replac- ing the engine coolant, refer to the following table.
NOTE: Always dispose of used engine oil in an environmentally acceptable man- ner. It is suggested that it be placedin a sealed container and taken to a service station for reclamation. Do not pour the oil on the ground or putit into the household trash.
!
CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oil using by a funnel. Do not overfill notto damage engine.
!WARNING:
o Be very careful not to touch the radiator hose when adding the engine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you.
o Used motor oil may cause irrita- tion or cancer of the skin if left incontact with the skin for prolongedperiods of time. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water as soon as possible afterhandling used oil.

G050C02A-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 be between the "LOW" and "FULL" lines on the reservoir when the engine is cold. If the level is below the "LOW" mark, add engine coolant to bring it upbetween "LOW" and "FULL". 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 for the coolantleak.
