ENGINE OIL
Checking the engine oil level
1. Be sure the vehicle is on level ground.
2. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.
3. Turn the engine off and wait for a few minutes (about 5 minutes) for the oil to
return to the oil pan.
4. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and re-insert it fully. 5. Pull the dipstick out again and check
the level. The level should be between F and L.
If it is near or at L, add enough oil to bring
the level to F.Do not overfill.
Use a funnel to help prevent oil frombeing spilled on engine components.
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer to “Recommended lubricants and capaci-ties” in section 8.)
WARNING - Radiator hose
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking or
adding the engine oil as it may be
hot enough to burn you.
CAUTION - Diesel engine
Overfilling the engine oil may cause
severe dieseling due to churning
effect. It may lead to engine damage accompanied with abrupt enginespeed increment, combustion noise and white smoke emission.
CAUTION
 Do not overfill with engine oil. Engine damage may result.
 Do not spill engine oil, when adding or changing engine oil. Ifyou drop the engine oil on the engine room, wipe it off immedi-
ately.

ENGINE COOLANT
Changing the engine oil and filter
We recommend that the engine oil and
filter be replaced by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer. The high-pressure cooling system has a
reservoir filled with year-round antifreeze
coolant. The reservoir is filled at the fac-
tory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant concentration level at least once
a year, at the beginning of the winter sea-
son, and before travelling to a colder cli-
mate.
Checking the coolant level
WARNING
Removing radiator cap
 Never attempt to remove the radi- ator cap whilst the engine is
operating or hot. Doing so mightlead to cooling system and
engine damage and could result
in serious personal injury fromescaping hot coolant or steam.
 Turn the engine off and wait until it cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the radiator cap.
Wrap a thick towel around it, and
turn it counterclockwise slowly to
the first stop.
(Continued)
WARNING
Prolonged and repeated contact
with used engine oils may result in
serious skin disorders including
dermatitis and cancer. Avoid con-
tact with skin as far as possible and
always wash thoroughly after any
contact. Keep used oils out of
reach of children. It is illegal to pol-
lute drains, water courses and soil.
Use only authorised waste collec-
tion facilities including civic ameni-
ty sites and garages for the dispos-
al of used oil and oil filters. If in
doubt, contact the local authority
for disposal instructions.

Maintenance
Check the condition and connections of all cooling system hoses and heater
hoses. Replace any swollen or deterio-
rated hoses.
The coolant level should be filled
between F (MAX) and L (MIN) marks on
the side of the coolant reservoir when theengine is cool.
If the coolant level is low, add enough
specified coolant to provide protection
against freezing and corrosion. Bring the
level to F (MAX), but do not overfill. If fre-
quent coolant refill is required, we rec-
ommend that the system be inspected by
a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
OLM079006
(Continued)Step back whilst the pressure isreleased from the cooling sys-
tem. When you are sure all thepressure has been released,
press down on the cap, using a
thick towel, and continue turning
counterclockwise to remove it.
 Even if the engine is not operat- ing, do not remove the radiatorcap or the drain plug whilst the
engine and radiator are hot. Hot
coolant and steam may still blow
out under pressure, causing seri-
ous injury.WARNING
The electric motor (cool-
ing fan) is controlled byengine coolant tempera-
ture, refrigerant pres-
sure and vehicle speed.
It may sometimes operate evenwhen the engine is not running.
Use extreme caution when working
near the blades of the cooling fan
so that you are not injured by a
rotating fan blades. As the engine
coolant temperature decreases, the
electric motor will automatically
shut off. This is a normal condition.
If your vehicle is equipped with
GDI, the electric motor (cooling fan)
may operate until you disconnect
the nagative battery cable.

Recommended engine coolant
 When adding coolant, use only deion-
ized water or soft water for your vehicle
and never mix hard water in the
coolant filled at the factory. An improp-
er coolant mixture can result in serious
malfunction or engine damage.
 The engine in your vehicle has alumi
-num engine parts and must be protect-
ed by an ethylene-glycol-based coolant
to prevent corrosion and freezing.
 DO NOT USE alco hol or methanol
coolant or mix them with the specifiedcoolant.
 Do not use a solution that contains more than 60% antifreeze or less than
35% antifreeze, which would reduce
the effectiveness of the solution. For mixture percentage, refer to the fol-
lowing table.
WARNING
Radiator cap
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are
hot. Scalding hot coolant and
steam may blow out under pres-
sure causing serious injury.

Maintenance
Changing the coolant
We recommend that the coolant be
replaced by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.Checking the brake/clutch fluid
level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir peri-
odically. The fluid level should be
between MAX (Maximum) and MIN
(Minimum) marks on the side of the
reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap and
adding brake/clutch fluid, clean the area
around the reservoir cap thoroughly to
prevent brake/clutch fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
(Maximum) level. The level will fall with
accumulated mileage. This is a normal
condition associated with the wear of the
brake linings and/or clutch disc (ifequipped).If the fluid level is excessively low, we
recommend that the brake system be
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
Use only the specified brake/clutch fluid.
(Refer to “Recommended lubricants orcapacities” in section 8.)
Never mix different types of fluid.
WARNING - Loss of brake fluid
In the event the brake system
requires frequent additions of fluid,we recommend that the system be
inspected by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.
OLM079008R
CAUTION
Put a thick cloth or fabric around the radiator cap before refilling thecoolant in order to prevent the
coolant from overflowing intoengine parts such as generator.
WARNING - Coolant
 Do not use radiator coolant or anti
-freeze in the washer fluid reservoir.
 Radiator coolant can severely obscure visibility when sprayed
on the windscreen and may
cause loss of vehicle control or
damage to paint and body trim.

Checking the washer fluid level
1. Open the cover.
2. Pull the gauge out and check the level.
The level should be between H (High)
and L (Low).
3. If it is near of at L (Low), add enough washer fluid to bring the level to H
(High). Do not overfill.
Plain water may be used if washer fluid is
not available. However, use washer sol-
vent with antifreeze characteristics in
cold climates to prevent freezing.
OLM079010
WARNING - Coolant
 Do not use radiator coolant or antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.
 Radiator coolant can severely obscure visibility when sprayed
on the windscreen and may
cause loss of vehicle control or
damage to paint and body trim.
 Windscreen Washer fluid agents contain some amounts of alcohol
and can be flammable under cer-
tain circumstances. Do not allowsparks or flame to contact thewasher fluid or the washer fluid
reservoir. Damage to the vehicle
or occupants could occur.
 Windscreen washer fluid is poi- sonous to humans and animals.
Do not drink and avoid contact-ing windscreen washer fluid.
Serious injury or death could
occur.WARNING - Brake fluid
When changing and adding brake
fluid, handle it carefully. Do not let it
come in contact with your eyes. Ifbrake fluid should come in contact
with your eyes, immediately flush
them with a large quantity of fresh
tap water. Have your eyes examined
by a doctor as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Do not allow brake fluid to contact the vehicle's body paint, as paint
damage will result. Brake fluid,which has been exposed to open air for an extended time should neverbe used as its quality cannot be
guaranteed. It should be disposed of properly. Don't put in the wrongkind of fluid. A few drops of miner-al-based oil, such as engine oil, in
your brake system can damagebrake system parts.

PARKING BRAKE
Check the parking brake
Check the stroke of the parking brake by
counting the number of “clicks’’ heardwhilst fully applying it from the released
position. Also, the parking brake alone
should securely hold the vehicle on a fair-
ly steep grade. If the stroke is more or
less than specified, we recommend that
the system be checked by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
Stroke : 6 “clicks’’ at a force of 44 lbs (20 kg, 196 N). Draining water from fuel filter
The fuel filter for diesel engine plays an
important role of separating water from
fuel and accumulating the water in itsbottom.
If water accumulates in the fuel filter, the
warning light comes on when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
If this warning light illuminates,
we recommend that the system
by checked by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
Extracting air from the fuel filter
If you drive until you have no fuel left or if
you replace the fuel filter, be sure to
extract air from the fuel system as it
makes it difficult to start the engine.
1. Pump up and down(1) approximately50 times until the pump is hard.
2. Extract air from the fuel filter by remov- ing the bolt(2) with a cross-tip screw
driver and reinstall the bolt(2).
3. Pump up and down(1) approximately 15 times.
4. Extract air from the fuel filter by remov- ing the bolt(2) with a cross-tip screw
driver and reinstall the bolt(2).
5. Pump up and down(1) approximately 5 times.
CAUTION
If the water accumulated in the fuel
filter is not drained at proper times,
damages to the major parts such asthe fuel system can be caused by water permeation in the fuel filter.
