CHECKING THE ENGINE COOLANT
G050A01CM-DAT
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. When the engineis hot, the engine coolant is under pressure and may erupt through the opening if the cap is removed. Youcould be seriously burned if you do not observe this precaution. Do not remove the radiator cap until theradiator is cool to touch.
WARNING:
Used motor oil may cause irritation or cancer of the skin if left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods of time. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water as soon as possible after handling used oil.
CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oil
using by a funnel. Do not overfill not to damage engine.
!
WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the radiator hose when adding the en- gine oil as it may be hot enough toburn you.
! 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 aluminum engine parts and must be protected by an ethylene-gly-col base coolant to prevent corro- sion and freezing. And, do not use the hard (tap) water. The hard water can cause engine damage from corrosion, overheating or freezing.
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 clock- wise.
NOTE: It is recommended that the engine
oil and oil filter should be changed by an authorised Hyundai dealer.

To Check the Coolant Level
The coolant level can be seen on the
side of the plastic coolant reservoir.
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 concen- tration and type of engine coolant to prevent freezing and corrosion. Neverallow the concentration of antifreeze to exceed the 60% level or go below the 35% level, otherwise damage to thecooling system may result. For proper concentration when adding or replac- ing the engine coolant, refer to thefollowing table.
NOTE: It is recommended that the engine coolant should be changed by anauthorised Hyundai dealer.

Diesel Engine
OCM055004L
Petrol Engine
The level of the coolant should be between the "L" and "F" lines on thereservoir when the engine is cool. If the level is below the "L" mark, add 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 in- spection and diagnosis of the reason.

CHANGING THE AIR CLEANER FILTER
G070A03Y-AAT The replacement of air filter is per-
formed 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.
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled byengine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extremecaution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fanblade. As the engine coolant tem- perature decreases, the fan will au- tomatically shut off. This is a nor-mal condition.
WARNING:
Remove the radiator cap when the
radiator is cool.

CHECKING THE BRAKES
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 intervalsspecified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.!WARNING (DIESEL ONLY):
Never work on injection system with
engine running or within 30 sec- onds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injectors andhigh pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the engine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it touch the body. People using pacemakers should not move than30cm closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room while engine is running, since the high currents in the Common Rail system produce considerable mag-netic fields.

POWER STEERING FLUID LEVELCHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING FANS
G220A01A-AAT
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 coolant temperaturedecreases the fan will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.
G220B01A-AAT
Checking Engine Cooling Fan
The engine coolant fan should come
on automatically if the engine coolant temperature is high. G220C01A-AAT Checking Condenser Cooling Fan The condenser cooling fan should come on automatically whenever the air con- ditioning is in operation. G230A03A-GAT The power steering fluid level should
be checked regularly. To check the power steering fluid level, be sure theignition is "OFF", then check to make certain that the power steering fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN"level markings on the fluid reservoir.
OCM055027L NOTE: Grinding noise from the power steer-
ing pump may be heard immedi- ately after the engine is started in extremely cold conditions (below - 20°C). If the noise stops during warmup, there is no abnormal function in the system. It is due to a power steering fluid characteristic in ex-tremely cold conditions. Recommended Fluid
Use PSF-3 type fluidNOTE: Do not start the engine when the
power steering oil reservoir is empty.

HEADLIGHT AIMING ADJUSTMENT
G290A01CM-DAT Before performing aiming adjustment, make sure of the following.
1. Keep all tyres inflated to the correct pressure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground and press the front bumper & rear bumper down several times. Placethe vehicle at a distance of 3,000 mm (118 in.) from the test wall.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant, engine oil and fuel, and spare tyre,jack, and tools). Have the driver or equivalent weight placed in driver's seat.
4. Clean the head light lenses and turn on the headlights (low beam or highbeam).
!WARNING:
Be sure to carefully wipe away any water drained out in this manner, because the fuel mixed in the watermight be ignited and result in a fire.
3. Tighten the drain plug when water
no longer comes out.
4. Installation is the reverse order of the disassembly.
5. Check to be sure that the warning lamp illuminates when the ignitionkey is turned to 'ON', and that itgoes off when the engine is started.If in doubt, consult your nearestauthorized HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTE: It is recommended that water accu- mulated in the fuel filter should be removed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
