F060D01A-AATo Fuel Lines, Fuel Hoses and Con-
nectionsCheck the fuel lines, fuel hoses and con-
nections for leakage and damage. Have a
trained technician replace any damaged
or leaking parts immediately.F060B01NF-GATo Drive BeltsInspect all drive belts for evidence of cuts,
cracks, excessive wear or oil saturation
and replace if necessary. Drive belts should
be checked periodically for proper ten-
sion.
F060M01A-AATo Engine Oil and FilterThe engine oil and filter should be changed
at the intervals specified in the mainte-
nance schedule. If the car is being driven
in severe conditions, more frequent oil and
filter changes are required.F060C01A-AATo Fuel FilterA clogged filter can limit the speed at which
the vehicle may be driven, damage the
emission system and cause hard starting.
If an excessive amount of foreign matter
accumulates in the fuel tank, the filter may
require replacement more frequently.
After installing a new filter, run the engine
for several minutes, and check for leaks at
the connections. Fuel filters should be
installed by trained technicians.
F060F01A-AATo Vacuum, Crankcase Ventilation
HosesInspect the surface of hoses for evidence
of heat and/or mechanical damage. Hard
and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts,
abrasions, and excessive swelling indi-
cate 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 compo-
nent which might cause heat damage or
mechanical wear. Inspect all hose con-
nections, such as clamps and couplings,
to make sure they are secure, and that no
leaks are present. Hoses should be re-
placed immediately if there is any evi-
dence of deterioration or damage.

CHECKING THE ENGINE OILG030B01O-AATRecommended OilThe engine oil quality should meet the
following classification.
API Service SM* or above,
ILSAC GF-4 or above
* If the API service SM engine oil is not
available in your country, you are able
to use API service SL.
G030B01JM-U G030A01A-AAT
Engine oil is essential to the performance
and service of the engine. It is suggested
that you check the oil level at least once a
week in normal use and more often if you
are on a trip or driving in severe conditions.
MAINTENANCE PRECAU-
TIONS
!
G020D01TG-GATImproper or incomplete service may result
in problems. This section gives instruc-
tions only for the maintenance items that
are easy to perform.
Several procedures should be done by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.NOTE:Improper owner maintenance during the
warranty period may affect warranty
coverage.
WARNING:
o Performing maintenance work on a
vehicle can be dangerous. You can be
seriously injured while performing
some maintenance procedures. If you
lack sufficient knowledge and experi-
ence or the proper tools and equip-
ment to do the work, have it done by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Working under the hood with the en-
gine running is dangerous. It becomes
even more dangerous when you wear
jewelry or loose clothing. These can
become entangled in moving parts
and result in injury. Therefore, if you
must run the engine while working
under the hood, make certain that you
remove all jewelry (especially rings,
bracelets, watches, and necklaces)
and all neckties, scarves, and similar
loose clothing before getting near the
engine or cooling fans.

G030C01JM-AATTo Check the Oil LevelBefore checking the oil, warm up the en-
gine to the normal operating temperature
and be sure your car is parked on level
ground. Turn the engine off.
Wait five minutes, then remove the dip-
stick, wipe it off, fully reinsert the dipstick
and withdraw it again. Then note the high-
est level the oil has reached on the dip-
stick. It should be between the upper ("F")
and lower ("L") range.

HTG5003-1
NOTE:o SAE 5W-20 (5W-30), ILSAC GF-4 en-
gine oil is preferred regardless of re-
gional option and engine variation.
o If SAE 5W-20, ILSAC GF-4 engine oil is
not available, SAE 5W-30 or second-
ary recommended engine oil for cor-
responding temperature range can
be used.

CHECKING AND CHANGING
THE ENGINE COOLANT!
G050A01TG-AAT
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the
engine coolant is under pressure and
may erupt through the opening if the cap
is removed. You could be seriously
burned if you do not observe this precau-
tion. Do not remove the radiator cap until
the radiator is cool to the touch.
!
NOTE:o It is recommended that the engine oil
and filter should be changed by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Always dispose of used engine oil in
an environmentally acceptable man-
ner. It is suggested that it be placed in
a sealed container and taken to a
service station for reclamation. Do
not pour the oil on the ground or put it
into the household trash.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
Engine oil contains chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects and reproductive harm.
Used engine oil may cause irritation or
cancer of the skin if left in contact with
the skin for prolonged periods of time.
Always protect your skin by washing
your hands thoroughly with soap and
warm water as soon as possible after
handling used oil.
!!
CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oil into a
funnel. Do not overfill to avoid damage to
the engine.
NOTE:It is recommended that the engine cool-
ant should be changed by an authorized
Hyundai dealer. The distance between the "F" and "L" marks
is equal to about 1 quart of oil.

G050B01A-AATRecommended Engine CoolantUse a high quality ethylene-glycol coolant
in a 50/50 mix with water. The engine
coolant should be compatible with alumi-
num engine parts. Additional corrosion
inhibitors or additives should not be used.
The cooling system must be maintained
with the correct concentration and type of
engine coolant to prevent freezing and
corrosion. Never allow the concentration
of antifreeze to exceed the 60% level or go
below the 35% level, or damage to the
cooling system may result. For proper con-
centration when adding or replacing the
engine coolant, refer to the following table.

G050C01TG-GATTo Check the Coolant LevelThe coolant level can be seen on the side
of the plastic coolant reservoir. The level of
the coolant should be between the "L" and
"F" lines on the reservoir when the engine
is warm with it at idle . If the level is below
the "L" mark, add engine coolant to bring
it up to "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 inspection and
diagnosis of the reason.
G050C01TG
!
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 alumi-
num engine parts and must be pro-
tected by an ethylene-glycol base
coolant to prevent corrosion and freez-
ing.
Do not use hard water. Hard water can
cause engine damage from corro-
sion, overheating or freezing.
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may some-
times operate even when the engine is
not running. Use extreme caution when
working near the blades of the coolant
fan so that you are not injured by a
rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant
temperature decreases, the fan will au-
tomatically shut off. This is a normal
condition.
