NOTE: SAE 5W-20 (5W-30), ILSAC GF-3 en- gine oil is preferred regardless of regional option and engine varia-tion. If SAE 5W-20, ILSAC GF-3 en- gine oil is not available, secondary recommended engine oil for corre-sponding temperature range can be used.

SG030C1-E Engine Oil Level Gasoline engineHTB167
HTB167A
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.

G100B01L
Recommended Oil Use only the approved transaxle lubri- cant. The recommended lubricants are complete in themselves and the use ofadditives is neither required nor recom- mended. The use of additives may invalidate the vehicle warranty.
Transaxle Lubricant Level Checking Ensure that the vehicle is parked on level ground with the parking brake firmly applied and the engine cool. Re-move the level plug from the transaxle when lubricant should begin to drip from the level hole. If the level is low and nolubricant is seen to drip, add the re-
G100B02A-EAT TRANSAXLE FLUID LEVEL CHECKING The vehicle must be parked on level ground with the parking brake firmly applied and the engine at normal oper- ating temperature. (Normal operatingtemperature will only be achieved when the vehicle has been driven for 6 miles or more).
SG110A1-E AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID The automatic transaxle fluid level should be checked and changed at those intervals prescribed in the main-tenance schedule. It is of paramount importance that only the specified fluid is used when replenishing or changingthe fluid. The use of other fluids may irreparably damage the transaxle and invalidate the manufacturers warranty.In addition the ingress of dirt or lint may prevent correct functioning of the transaxle and care must be exercisedto prevent the ingress of such matter.
CAUTION:
The transaxle on fluid level must bechecked with the engine running andat normal operating temperature and therefore care must be exercised to prevent injury occurring throughcontact with rotating or hot parts of the engine.
! G110B04A-AAT Recommended Lubricant Use only Hyundai Genuine ATF SP-III, DIAMOND ATF SP-III, SK ATF SP-IIIor other brands approved by Hyundai Motor Co., Damage caused by a nonspecified fluid is not covered byyour new vehicle limited warranty.

G050A01A-AAT CHECKING AND CHANGING THE ENGINE COOLANT G050B01A-AAT Recommended Engine Coolant
Use a high quality ethylene-glycol cool- ant in a 50/50 mix with water. The engine coolant should be compatiblewith aluminum engine parts. Additional corrosion inhibitors or additives should not be used. The cooling system mustbe maintained with the correct con- centration and type of engine coolant to prevent freezing and corrosion.Never allow the concentration of anti- freeze to exceed the 60% level or go below the 35% level, or damage to thecooling system may result. For proper concentration when adding or replac- ing the engine coolant, refer to thefollowing table.
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the engine coolant is underpressure and may erupt through the opening if the cap is removed. You could be seriously burned ifyou do not observe this precau- tion. Do not remove the radiator cap until the radiator is cool to thetouch.
