Transaxle Fluid Capacity
The fluid capacity of the automatic transaxle is 7.8 liters (8.2 U.S. quarts).
WARNING:
The transaxle fluid level should be checked when the engine is at normal operating temperature. Thismeans that the engine, radiator, radiator hose, exhaust system etc., are very hot. Exercise great carenot to burn yourself during this procedure. 2.7L
While the engine is idling, apply the
brakes and move the gear selectorlever from "P" to each of its other positions — "R", "N", "D" — and thenreturn to "N" or "P". With the engine still idling: 2. Remove the transaxle dipstick, wipe
it clean, reinsert the dipstick as far as it will go, then remove it again. Now check the fluid level on the dipstick. It should be in the "HOT"range on the dipstick.
3. If the transaxle fluid level is low,
use a funnel to add transaxle fluid through the dipstick tube until the level reaches the "HOT" range. Donot overfill.

G130B02A-AAT To Replace the Fluid Recommended brake fluid conform- ing to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification should be used. The reservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoid con-tamination from foreign matter or moisture. NOTE: Do not allow any other liquids to contaminate the brake fluid. Sealdamage will result.
WARNING:
Use caution when handling brakefluid. It can damage your vision ifyou get it in your eyes. It will also damage your vehicle's paint if spilled on it and not removed im-mediately. G140A01A-AAT
Keeping the Condenser Clean
The air conditioning condenser (and
engine radiator) should be checked periodically for accumulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc. These caninterfere with maximum cooling effi- ciency. When removing such accu- mulations, brush or hose them awaycarefully to avoid bending the cooling fans. AIR CONDITIONING CARE
G140B01A-AAT
Checking the Air Conditioning Operation
1. Start the engine and let it run at
fast idle for several minutes with the air conditioning set at the maxi- mum cold setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is not cold, have the air con-ditioning system inspected by yourHyundai dealer.
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys-
tem for extended periods of timewith a low refrigerant level maydamage the compressor.

SB210S1-E BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR The front brake disc pads are fitted with an audible wear indicator whichwill cause a high pitched noise to be emitted when the remaining amount of friction lining is below the specifiedvalue. When the wear indicator is heard, the brake pads should be replaced without delay to avoid damage occur-ring to the brake discs and a severe reduction in braking efficiency. SB215A1-E FUEL GAUGE The fuel gauge indicates the quantity of fuel remaining in the fuel tank. NOTE: The fuel gauge is not intended to give other than an approximate in- dication of the fuel level and isunsuitable for the purposes of cal- culating fuel consumption figures.

!WARNING:
Fuel vapours are dangerous. Be- fore refuelling, turn off the engine and never allow sparks, lit ciga-rettes or open flames near the filler area. When releasing the filler cap, a small amount of residual pres-sure may generate a slight hissing sound which is not indicative of an abnormality. In the event of the fuelfiller cap requiring replacement, only a Genuine Hyundai replace- ment part should be used to pre-vent fuel leakage. HGK2018Q
SB440A1-E (Not all models) The fuel filler lid may be opened from inside the vehicle by pulling up on thefuel filler lid release. NOTE: If the fuel filler lid will not open because ice has formed around it, tap lightly or push on the lid to break the ice and release the lid. Donot lever the lid. If necessary, spray around the lid with an approved de- icer fluid (do not use radiator anti-freeze) or move the vehicle to a warm place and allow the ice to melt.REMOTE FUEL FILLER LID RELEASE

!
!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.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call the near- est Hyundai authorised repairer forassistance.
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 normal. Then, if coolant has been lost, care- fully add coolant to the reservoir(page 6-11) 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. To ensure the correct water to cool- ant mix is obtained after top up,testing by an authorised repairer is required.
7. Proceed with caution until it is estab- lished that the engine is operatingnormally. If the engine overheats repeatedly, the advice of a Hyundaiauthorised repairer should be sought.
CAUTION:
Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soonas possible by a Hyundai authorised repairer.D040A01GK-EAT TEMPORARY SPARE TYRE The following instructions for the tem- porary spare tyre should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon as practical after installing the spare tyre, and adjust to the specified pressure. The tyre pressure should be periodically checked and main-tained at the specified pressure while the tyre is stored.
2. The spare tyre should only be used temporarily and should be returnedto the luggage compartment as soon as the original tyre can be repairedor replaced.

ENGINE OIL REPLENISHMENT
If the indicated oil level is at or below the lower mark of the dipstick, oilshould be added until the level is at or below the upper mark. To add oil to the engine, remove the filler cap by rotating in an counter- clockwise direction and pour engine oil into the engine. Before checkingthe level again, allow several minutes for the oil to drain into the sump. Replace the oil filler cap rotating it ina clockwise direction until tight.The quantity of oil required to raisethe level from the minimum to maxi- mum level is approximately 1 litre. 1.6L/2.0L
G350A01A-EAT ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION Function of engine oil Engine oil has the primary function of lubricating and cooling the inside of the engine. Engine oil consumption It is normal that an engine should consume some engine oil in the course of normal driving. The cause of oil consumption in a normal engine are asfollows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pis-
tons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall when a piston moves downwards in the cylinder. High negative pressure generated dur-ing engine operation sucks some of the oil into the combustion cham- ber.This oil with some oil of the cylin-der wall is burned by the high tem-perature combustion gases during the combustion process.

!WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking the engine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you.
