WARNING:
The engine cooling system is pres-surized and removal of the radiatorcap when the engine is hot may cause hot water and steam to be ejected from the radiator resulting inburns and scalding. The radiator cap must only be removed when the en- gine has cooled. Do not add coldwater to a hot engine to avoid the possibility of engine damage. The use of plain water in the coolingsystem is not recommended since the aluminium components of the cooling system require the use of acorrosion inhibitor found in the rec- ommended Ethylene Glycol type anti freeze solutions.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
SB215B1-E ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERA- TURE GAUGE The engine coolant temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant tempera- ture and will, under normal circum-stances, give an indication in the "Nor- mal" or centre portion of the scale. Should the indication move into theupper or "Hot" portion of the scale, engine overheating is indicated. Under these circumstances, the vehicle shouldbe brought to rest as soon as is safe to do so and the engine turned off. Once the engine has cooled somewhat, thecoolant level and the condition of the generator/water pump drive belt should be checked. If the cause of the over-
The fuel gauge indicates the quantity offuel remaining in the fuel tank. NOTE: The fuel gauge is not intended to give other than an approximate indi- cation of the fuel level and is unsuit-able for the purposes of calculating fuel consumption figures.

D030A01TB-EAT If the temperature gauge indicates overheating:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as
it is safe to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P"
(automatic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from thebonnet, stop the engine. Do not open the bonnet until the coolanthas stopped running or the steam- ing has stopped. If there is no visible loss of coolant and no steam, leavethe engine running and check to be sure the engine cooling fan is oper- ating.If the fan is not running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not missing,check to see that it is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satisfactory,check for coolant leaking from the radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the air conditioning had been in use,it is normal for cold water to be draining from it). WARNING:
Whilst the engine is running, keep hands and clothing away from mov-ing parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury.
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 in- jury, if it touch the body. People using pacemakers should not movethan 12 in.(30 cm) closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room whilst engine is running, sincethe high currents in the Common Rail system produce considerable magnetic fields. 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 since steam and boiling water may be ejected fromthe radiator resulting in burns or scalding.
6. If the cause of the overheating can- not be found, wait until the engine temperature has returned to nor- mal. Then, if coolant has been lost, carefully remove the radiator capand add water to bring the fluid level in the reservoir up to the base of the radiator fill opening. Fill the coolantexpansion tank to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution until it is es-
tablished that the engine is operat-ing normally. If the engine over- heats repeatedly, the advice of a Hyundai dealer should be sought.

(For Petrol Engine)
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.
6ZF070B1-A
o Cooling system
Check the cooling system part, such as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and connections for leakage and dam- age. Replace any damaged parts.
6ZF060G1-A o Vapour hose and fuel filler cap The vapour hose and fuel filler cap should be inspected at those intervals specified in the maintenance sched- ule. Make sure that a new vapourhose or fuel filler cap is correctly re- placed. 6ZF060F1-A
o Vacuum, crankcase
ventilation hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi-
dence of heat and/or mechanical dam-age. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessiveswelling indicate deterioration. Par- ticular attention should be paid to ex- amining those hose surfaces nearestto high heat sources, such as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure
that the hoses do not come in contactwith any heat source, sharp edges or moving component which might causeheat damage or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose connections, such as clamps and couplings, to make surethey are secure, and that no leaks are present. Hoses should be replaced immediately if there is any evidence ofdeterioration or damage.

5ENGINE OILDAILY OPERATING CHECKS
SG020B1-E The following items should be checked on a daily basis or whenever the vehicle is refuelled, whichever occurs sooner.
o Engine oil level.
o Coolant level.
o Power steering fluid level.
o Brake fluid level.
o Windscreen washer fluid level.
o Battery condition.
o Tyre condition and pressures.
o Operation and cleanliness of all light- ing equipment.
o Windscreen wiper and washer opera- tion.
o Horn operation.
o Warning light operation.
o Adjustment and cleanliness of mir- rors.
o Seat and seat belt adjustment and operation.
o Fluid leakage. The vehicle must not be driven if the daily operating checks indicate thatany item of equipment related to the safety or roadworthiness of the vehicle is not functioning correctly. G030A01FC-EAT The correct engine oil level is of para- mount importance. An excessively high or low oil level may result in irreparable damage being sustained by the engine.The engine oil level must be checked on a daily basis, whenever the vehicle is refuelled or before starting a long trip,whichever occurs sooner. In addition, it is imperative that only an approved grade and specification of oilis used to avoid the possibility of seri- ous engine damage and premature wear. The use of "budget price" oil is a falseeconomy that must be avoided if the maximum reliability and useful life is to be obtained from the vehicle.
G030B02O-EAT Recommended Oil
1. Petrol Engine The engine oil quality should meet the following classification. API SJ, SL or ABOVE, ILSAC GF-3 or ABOVE The oil viscosity should be selected according to the operating environment of the engine by means of the tableshown above. The engine oil recom- mendations are complete in themselves and the use of additives is neitherrequired nor recommended. The use of engine oil additives may result in invali- dation of the vehicle warranty.

ING AND REPLACING
CAUTION:
The oil being drained from the en- gine will be hot. Care should beexercised to prevent scalding.
!
3. Prepare a suitable receptacle to col-
lect the displaced oil and remove the drain plug from the sump.
!
4. When the oil has drained from thesump, replace the drain plug using a new washer ensuring that the plug isnot over tightened. Tightening torque is: 3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m
5. Remove the oil filter by rotating coun- terclockwise, using a proprietary oil filter removal tool if necessary. Note that the oil filter will contain approxi-mately 0.3 litres of oil and this should be collected in a suitable receptacle.
6. Install a new oil filter having smeared the sealing ring with clean oil androtating clockwise until the filter con- tacts the mounting and then a furtherone half turn. Do not over-tighten. WARNING:
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oils may result in seri- ous skin disorders including derma-titis and cancer. Avoid contact with skin as far as possible and always wash thoroughly after any contact.Keep used oils out of reach of chil- dren. It is illegal to pollute drains, water courses and soil. Use onlyauthorized waste collection facili- ties including civic amenity sites and garages for the disposal of usedoil and oil filters. If in doubt, contact the local authority for disposal in- structions. Tightening torque:
Petrol -
1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m
Diesel - 2.3 ~ 2.5 kgf.m
7. Pour the specified quantity of the recommended oil into the engine and replace the filler cap. Start the en- gine and ensure that no oil leaksexist. Turn off the engine and after a couple minutes, recheck the oil level.

SG050A1-E
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot, since the system is pressurized and coolant may beejected from the radiator resulting in scalding.

NOTE: It is imperative that vehicles fitted with an air conditioning system have a coolant concentration of the rec-ommended strength at all times. The use of the air conditioning system when the cooling system is filledwith water only will result in the heater matrix freezing and subse- quently bursting. SG050C1-E Coolant Level The engine coolant level may be ob- served through the side of the plasticcoolant reservoir (expansion tank) when the engine is cold. If the level is below the "L" mark, add coolant of the correctconcentration until the level is between the "L" and "F" marks. If the level falls below the "L" mark on a regular basisdespite being topped up, consult a Hyundai dealer.
SG050B1-E Coolant recommendations Only ethylene glycol based coolant with a corrosion inhibitor suited to aluminiumalloy engine components should be used in the cooling system. No further additives or inhibitors should be used.The coolant specific gravity should be checked as prescribed in the mainte- nance schedule to ensure adequatefrost and corrosion protection. In addi- tion, the engine coolant must be re- placed at the specified interval sincethe corrosion inhibitor properties dete- riorate with time. It is important to note that whilst anincrease in the concentration of anti freeze gives an increase in the level of frost protection, a solution which is inexcess of 65% anti freeze will result in reduced frost protection and engine overheating. Therefore the recom-mended concentration of 50% should not be exceeded for general use. The use of methanol based anti freezecompounds may result in engine over- heating and will invalidate the vehicle warranty.
