o Fluid leakage. The vehicle must not be driven if the daily operating checks indicate that any item of equipment related to thesafety or roadworthiness of the vehicle is not functioning correctly. G030B03A-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 table shown above. The engine oil recom-mendations are complete in themselves and the use of additives is neither required nor recommended. The use ofengine oil additives may result in invali- dation of the vehicle warranty.
G030A01FC-EAT ENGINE OIL The correct engine oil level is of para- mount importance. An excessively highor low oil level may result in irreparable damage being sustained by the engine. The engine oil level must be checkedon 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 oil is used to avoid the possibility of seri-ous engine damage and premature wear. The use of "budget price" oil is a false economy that must be avoided if themaximum reliability and useful life is to be obtained from the vehicle.

Diesel engine The engine oil level should be checked with the engine at normal operating tem- perature and the vehicle parked uponlevel ground. Prior to checking the level, the vehicle should be allowed to stand for severalminutes after the engine has been switched off to allow the oil to drain back to the sump.Withdraw the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag. Replace the dipstick fully and withdraw again when the oil level may beread from the stick. Normal oil level is indicated when the oil is present between the two marks on the stick. It is notnecessary to add oil if the level is above the lower mark and in any case, oil must not be added to the degree that the levelexceeds the upper mark. Replace the dipstick fully after checking the level.
NOTE: SAE 0W-30 oil is for extra cold zone and to be restricted by driving condi- tion and dealing area. (Especially,not recommended for sustained high loaded and high speed operation.)

G030D01TB-EAT ENGINE OIL REPLENISHMENT
If the indicated oil level is at or below the lower mark of the dipstick, oil should 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 counterclock- wise direction and pour engine oil intothe engine. Before checking the level again, allow several minutes for the oil to drain into the sump. Replace the oilfiller cap rotating it in a clockwise direc- tion until tight. The quantity of oil required to raise thelevel from the minimum to maximum level is approximately 1.2 litre.ZG030E1-E 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 con- sume some engine oil while normal driving. The cause of oil consumption in a normal engine are as follows;
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 down- wards in the cylinder. High negativepressure generated during engine operation sucks some of the oil into the combustion chamber.This oil with some oil of the cylinder wall is burned by the high tempera- ture combustion gases during thecombustion process.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly
effected by the viscosity and qualityof oil, engine rpm and driving condi- tion etc.

Petrol engine SG050A1-E ENGINE COOLANT CHECKING AND REPLACING
SG050B1-E Coolant recommendations WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot, since the system is pressurized and coolant may be ejected from the radiator resulting inscalding.
3. Prepare a suitable receptacle to col-
lect the displaced oil and remove thedrain plug from the sump.
4. When the oil has drained from the sump, replace the drain plug using anew washer ensuring that the plug is not 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. Notethat the oil filter will contain approxi- mately 0.5 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 further one half turn. Do not over-tighten CAUTION:
The oil being drained from the en- gine will be hot. Care should beexercised to prevent scalding.
! Tightening torque: Petrol -
1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m
Diesel(RHD) - 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 leaks exist. Turn off the engine and after acouple minutes, recheck the oil level.
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 alwayswash thoroughly after any contact. Keep used oils out of reach of chil- dren. It is illegal to pollute drains,water courses and soil. Use only authorized waste collection facili- ties including civic amenity sitesand garages for the disposal of used oil and oil filters. If in doubt, contact the local authority for disposal in-structions.

Diesel engine Only ethylene glycol based coolant with a corrosion inhibitor suited to aluminium alloy 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 offrost protection, a solution which is in excess of 65% anti freeze will result in reduced frost protection and engineoverheating. Therefore the recom- mended concentration of 50% should not be exceeded for general use.The use of methanol based anti freeze compounds may result in engine over- heating and will invalidate the vehiclewarranty. NOTE: It is imperative that vehicles fitted with an air conditioning system have a coolant concentration of the rec- ommended strength at all times. Theuse of the air conditioning system when the cooling system is filled with water only will result in theheater matrix freezing and subse- quently bursting.
SG050C1-E Engine 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 "LOW" mark, add coolant of thecorrect concentration until the level is between the "LOW" and "Full" marks. If the level falls below the "LOW" mark ona regular basis despite being topped up, consult a Hyundai authorised repairer. SG050D1-E To Change the engine Coolant The engine coolant should be changed at those intervals specified in the ve- hicle maintenance schedule in Section5. NOTE: Care should be taken to ensure that coolant is not allowed to spill ontothe paintwork since the finish may become damaged. If coolant spill- age occurs, the affected area shouldbe rinsed thoroughly with water.

1. Park the vehicle on level ground and
ensure that the parking brake is firmly applied, and the engine allowed tocool. Do not attempt this operation whilst the engine is hot since burning orscalding may result.
2. Prepare a suitable receptacle to col-
lect the displaced coolant and posi-tion this under the radiator drain tap.
3. With the heater temperature control
set to the "HOT" position, removethe radiator cap and open the radiator drain tap. 5. Prepare a suitable quantity of new
engine coolant (refer to section 9)and pour this into the radiator.
6. Start the engine with the radiator cap
still removed and continue to addcoolant as the level decreases as air is expelled from the system. Whenthe level remains constant, replace the radiator cap and replenish the coolant reservoir.
7. When the engine is hot, check to ensure that no coolant leaks arepresent.
4. When the engine coolant has drained completely, close the drain tap en-suring that this is not over tightened. WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by en- gine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when theengine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so that youare not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant tem- perature decreases, the fan will auto-matically shut off. This is a normal condition.

This operation should only be performed when the engine is cold.
1. Remove the centre cover from the engine rocker cover.
2. Remove plug lead from the sparking plug to be replaced, pulling the lead by the rubber cap. (Pulling the lead may damage the carbon conductor).
3. Clean around the base of the plug to be removed, and install the plugsocket ensuring that the ceramicinsulator does not become damaged. Turn the socket counterclockwise to remove the plug. CAUTION:
Sparking plugs must only be cleaned using purpose designed equipment. Wire brushing may damage the cen-tre electrode-insulator causing mis- firing to occur. Only the correct grade of sparking plug should be used.Use of an incorrect grade may result in serious engine damage. Prior to installing a sparking plug, the gap between the centre and outer elec- trodes must be checked and adjusted as necessary. Adjustment is facilitated by bending the outer electrode towards or away fromthe centre electrode. Under no circum- stances should attempts be made to adjust the position of the centre elec-trode.
4. Insert the sparking plug into the cyl- inder head and screw by the wrench and until the plug contacts the seat- ing area. Tighten the plug with the socket by a further 1/2 to 3/4 of a turnonly. 5. Replace the plug lead ensuring that
the cap is pushed firmly into place.Confirm that the cap is correctlyseated by lightly pulling upon it.
NOTE: When replacing the spark plug, al- ways use the genuine parts recom- mended. Recommended Spark Plugs
