Vacuum crankcase ventilation
hoses (if equipped)
Inspect the surface of hoses for
evidence of heat and/or mechanical
damage. Hard and brittle rubber,
cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and
excessive swelling indicate deterioration.
Particular attention should be paid to
examine those hose surfaces nearest to
high heat sources, such as the exhaust
manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure that
the hoses do not come in contact with
any heat source, sharp edges or moving
component which might cause heat
damage or mechanical wear. Inspect
all hose connections, such as clamps
and couplings, to make sure they are
secure, and that no leaks are present.
Hoses should be replaced immediately if
there is any evidence of deterioration or
damage.
Air cleaner filter
We recommend that the air cleaner filter
be replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Spark plugs
Make sure to install new spark plugs of
the correct heat range.
WARNING
Do not disconnect and inspect spark
plugs when the engine is hot. You may
burn yourself.
Valve clearance (For 1.0 T-GDi)
Inspect for excessive valve noise and/or
engine vibration and adjust if necessary.
We recommend that the system be
serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Cooling system
Check cooling system components, such
as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and
connections for leakage and damage.
Replace any damaged parts.
Coolant
The coolant should be changed at the
intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule.
Manual transmission fluid
(if equipped)
Inspect the manual transmission fluid
according to the maintenance schedule.
Automated manual transmission
fluid (if equipped)
Inspect the Automated manual
transmission fluid according to the
maintenance schedule.

Maintenance
The high-pressure cooling system
has a reservoir filled with year-round
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 climate.
NOTICE
• 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 slowly in small
quantities.
Checking the coolant level
OBI3090008OBI3090008
„„Petrol Engine (1.0 T-GDi)Petrol Engine (1.0 T-GDi)
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.
Bring the level to F (Full), but do
not overfill. If frequent additions are
required, we recommend that the
system be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING
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.• 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 system.
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 operating,
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.
WARNING
The electric motor (cooling
fan) is controlled by engine
coolant temperature,
refrigerant pressure and
vehicle speed. It may
sometimes 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 automatically
shut off. This is a normal condition.

Maintenance
Recommended engine coolant
• Use only soft (distilled) water in the
coolant mixture.
• The engine in your vehicle has
aluminum engine parts and must be
protected by an ethylene-glycol-based
coolant to prevent corrosion and
freezing.
• DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol
coolant or mix them with the specified
coolant.
• Do not use a solution that contains
more than 60% antifreeze or less than
35% antifreeze, which would reduce
the effectiveness of the solution.
For mixture percentage, refer to the
following table.

WARNING
Radiator cap
Do not remove the radiator
cap when the engine and
radiator are hot. Scalding
hot coolant and steam
may blow out under pressure causing
serious injury.
Changing the coolant
We recommend that the coolant be
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
NOTICE
Put a thick cloth or fabric around the
radiator cap before refilling the coolant
in order to prevent the coolant from
overflowing into engine parts such as
the alternator.
WARNING
Coolant
• Do not use radiator coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.
• Radiator coolant can severely
obscure visibility when sprayed on
the windshield and may cause loss
of vehicle control or damage to paint
and body trim.

Maintenance
The emission control system of your
vehicle is covered by a written limited
warranty. Please see the warranty
information contained in the Service
Passport in your vehicle.
Your vehicle is equipped with an
emission control system to meet all
emission regulations.
There are three emission control systems
which are as follows.
(1) Crankcase emission control system
(2) Evaporative emission control system
(3) Exhaust emission control system
In order to assure the proper function
of the emission control systems, it
is recommended that you have your
car inspected and maintained by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer in
accordance with the maintenance
schedule in this manual.1. Crankcase emission control
system
The positive crankcase ventilation
system is employed to prevent air
pollution caused by blow-by gases
being emitted from the crankcase. This
system supplies fresh filtered air to the
crankcase through the air intake hose.
Inside the crankcase, the fresh air mixes
with blow-by gases, which then pass
through the PCV valve into the induction
system.
2. Evaporative emission control
system
The Evaporative Emission Control
System is designed to prevent
fuel vapors from escaping into the
atmosphere.
Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel
tank are absorbed and stored in the
onboard canister. When the engine is
running, the fuel vapors absorbed in
the canister are drawn into the surge
tank through the purge control solenoid
valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve
(PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve
is controlled by the Engine Control
Module (ECM); when the engine coolant
temperature is low during idling, the
PCSV closes so that evaporated fuel
is not taken into the engine. After
the engine warms up during ordinary
driving, the PCSV opens to introduce
evaporated fuel to the engine.
