Maintenance
Valve clearance
(For gasoline engine)
Inspect excessive valve noise and/or
engine vibration and adjust if neces
sary.
We recommend that the system be
serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Engine coolant
Check cooling system components,
such as radiator, coolant reservoir,
hoses and connections for leakage
and damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
Engine coolant
The coolant should be changed at
the intervals specified in the mainte
nance schedule.
Manual transaxle fluid
(if equipped)
Inspect the manual transaxle fluid
according to the maintenance sched
ule.
Automatic transaxle fluid
(if equipped)
Automatic transaxle fluid should not
be checked under normal usage
conditions.
We recommend that the automatic
transaxle fluid changed by an author
ized HYUNDAI dealer according to
the maintenance schedule.
Information
Automatic transaxle fluid color is
basically red.
As the vehicle is driven, the automatic
transaxle fluid will begin to look darker.
It is normal condition and you should
not judge the need to replace the fluid
based upon the changed color.
The use of a nonspecified fluid
could result in transaxle malfunction
and failure.
Use only specified automatic
transaxle fluid. (Refer to
"Recommended lubricants and
capacities" in chapter 8.)

Maintenance
ENGINE COOlANT
The highpressure cooling system
has a reservoir filled with yearround
antifreeze coolant. The reservoir is
filled at the factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at
the beginning of the winter season,
and before traveling to a colder cli
mate.
•Do not drive with no engine
coolant. It may cause water pump
failure and engine seizure, etc.
•When the engine overheats from
low engine coolant, suddenly
adding engine coolant may cause
cracks in the engine. To prevent
damage, add engine coolant slow
ly in small quantities.
Checking the coolant level
NOTICE
Removing radiator cap
•Never attempt to
remove the radiator cap while
the engine is operating or hot.
Doing so might lead to cooling
system and engine damage and
could result in serious personal
injury from escaping hot coolant
or steam.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
•Turn the engine off and wait until
it cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the radiator cap.
Wrap a thick towel around it,
and turn it counterclockwise
slowly to the first stop. Step
back while the pressure is
released from the cooling sys
tem. When you are sure all the
pressure has been released,
press down on the cap, using a
thick towel, and continue turning
counterclockwise to remove it.
•Even if the engine is not operat
ing, do not remove the radiator
cap or the drain plug while the
engine and radiator are hot. Hot
coolant and steam may still blow
out under pressure, causing
serious injury.

Maintenance
Check the condition and connections
of all cooling system hoses and
heater hoses. Replace any swollen
or deteriorated hoses.
The coolant level should be filled
between F (Full) and L (Low)
marked on the side of the coolant
reservoir when the engine is cool. If the coolant level is low, add enough
distilled (deionized) water (except
Middle East) or add enough pre
mixed coolant (for Middle East).
Bring the level to F (Full), but do not
overfill. If frequent additions are
required, we recommend that the
system be inspected by an author
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
The electric motor
(cooling fan) is con
trolled by engine
coolant temperature,
refrigerant pressure
and vehicle speed. It may some
times operate even when the
engine is not running. Use
extreme caution when working
near the blades of the cooling fan
so that you are not injured by a
rotating fan blades. As the engine
coolant temperature decreases,
the electric motor will automatical
ly shut off. This is a normal condi
tion.
The electric motor (cooling fan)
may operate until you disconnect
the negative battery cable.
