Brake Fluid Level
The fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir
should be checked periodically. The levelshould be between the "MIN" and "MAX"marks on the side of the reservoir. If the levelis at or below the "MIN" mark, fluid should beadded having carefully cleaned the area sur-rounding the reservoir cap to ensure that dirtis not allowed to enter the system. It shouldbe borne in mind that the brake fluid level willdecrease slightly as the friction linings of thepads and shoes become worn and that this isa normal condition.

BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKING CAUTION:
Correct operation of the braking system is
essential to the safe operation of the vehicle and therefore, any maintenance operationsother than those listed below should beentrusted to a Hyundai dealer.
SG120C2-E
Brake Fluid Recommendations Only brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or
DOT 4 specifications or higher may be usedin the braking system. Care should be takento observe the instructions and precautionsprinted upon the container.
Fluid level should be within this range

WARNING: The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may sometimesoperate even when the engine is not run-ning. Use extreme caution when workingnear the blades of the cooling fan so thatyou are not injured by a rotating fan blade.As the engine coolant temperature de-creases, the fan will automatically shutoff. This is a normal condition.
WARNING (Diesel only): Never work on injection system with en-
gine running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump,rail, injectors and high pressure pipes aresubject to high pressure even after theengine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it touch the body. People using pacemak-ers should not move than 30cm closer tothe ECU or wiring harness within theengine room while engine is running,since the high currents in the CommonRail system produce considerable mag-netic fields. Fluid Capacity
The total fluid capacity of the transmission unit
is 6.1 litres (1.6 DOHC)/6.7 litres(1.8 DOHC).

HEADLIGHT BULB Replacement instructions:
G270A01FC
1. Allow the bulb to cool. Wear eye protection.
2. Always grasp the bulb by its plastic base, avoid touching the glass.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the bulb
1. Loosen the drain plug at the bottom of the fuel filter.
2. Tighten the drain plug when water no longer comes out.
3. Check to be sure that the warning lamp illuminates when the ignition key is turned to "ON", and that it goes off when theengine is started. If in doubt, consult your nearest authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING: Be sure to carefully wipe away any water
drained out in this manner, because thefuel mixed in the water might be ignitedand result in a fire.

REPLACING LIGHT BULBS
In the event of bulb failure being experienced, ensure that the relative lighting circuit is turnedoff prior to attempting to replace the bulb. Theillustrations on the following page will assist inlocating and removing the various bulbs. En-sure that the replacement bulb has the samecap configuration and wattage as the original. CAUTION: Keep the lamps out of contact with petro- leum product, such as oil, gasoline, etc.

REMOVAL OF WATER FROM THE FUEL FILTER (DIESEL ENGINE)
If the fuel filter warning lamp illuminates during
driving, it indicates that water has accumu- lated in the fuel filter. If this occurs, remove thewater as described.

POWER STEERING HOSES Power steering hoses should be checked for
damage, deterioration and leakage at each ser- vice.
FLUID RECOMMENDATION
Only automatic transmission fluid meeting the
specification of PSF-3 should be used in thepower steering system.

6. Draw the vertical line (through the centre
of each headlight beam pattern) and the horizontal line (through the centre of eachheadlight beam pattern) on the aimingscreen. And then, draw the horizontal parallel line at 1.18 in. (30 mm) under the horizontalline.
7. Adjust each cut-off line of the low beam to the parallel line with a phillips screwdriver- VERTICAL AIMING
8. Adjust each cut-off line of the low beam to each vertical line with a phillips screw-driver - HORIZONTAL AIMING.

HEADLIGHT AIMING ADJUSTMENT
Before performing aiming adjustment, make
sure of the following.
1. Keep all tyres inflated to the correct pres- sure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground and press the front bumper & rear bumper down sev- eral times. Place the vehicle at a distanceof 118 in. (3,000 mm) from the test wall.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant, engine oil and fuel,and spare tyre, jack, and tools).
4. Clean the head lights lens and turn on the headlight (Low beam).

6. Remove the protective cap from the re- placement bulb and install the new bulb bymatching the plastic base with the headlighthole. Install the dust cover after retighteningthe bulb spring and reconnect the powercord.
7. Use the protective cap and carton to dis- pose of the old bulb.
8. Check for proper headlight aim. WARNING The halogen bulb contains gas under pres- sure and if impacted could shatter, result-ing in flying fragments. Always wear eyeprotection when servicing the bulb. Pro-tect the bulb against abrasions or scratchesand against liquids when lighted. Turn on

7. EMISSION
CONTROL SYSTEM
SH010A1-E EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS (Not all models) Depending upon the market for which the ve-hicle is destined, the emission control systemwill comprise one or more of the followingemission control devices. (1) Crankcase emission control system (2) Evaporative emission control system (3) Exhaust emission control system In order that the proper functioning of the emis- sion control systems may be ensured, it isrecommended that the vehicle is inspected andmaintained by an authorized Hyundai dealer inaccordance with the maintenance schedule inthis manual. SH010B1-E 1. CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
The positive crankcase ventilation system is employed to prevent air pollution caused byblow-by gases being emitted from the crank-case by introducing fresh air to the crankcase through the air cleaner where this mixes withblow-by gases and then passes through thePCV valve into the intake manifold from whereit subsequently enters the combustion cham-ber and is burned.
SH010D1-E 3. EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM The exhaust emission control system is a highlyeffective system which controls exhaust emis-sion while maintaining good vehicle perfor-mance.
SH010C1-E
2. EVAPORATIVE EMISSION
CONTROL SYSTEM
The Evaporative Emission Control System is designed to prevent fuel vapours from escap-ing into the atmosphere through the fuel tankventilation system.Whilst the engine is not running, fuel vapoursgenerated inside the fuel tank are absorbedand stored in a charcoal canister. When theengine is started, the vapours stored in thecanister are drawn into the induction systemthrough the purge control solenoid valve andare subsequently burned.The purge control solenoid valve is controlledby the ECU; when the engine coolant tempera-ture is low or the engine is idling, the purgecontrol valve is closed and fuel vapours remainstored in the canister. Under normal runningconditions when the engine is warm, the valveopens and the vapours are drawn into the inlettract and subsequently burned in the combus-tion chamber. SH020A1-E
Catalytic Convertor Operation Precautions; For a gasoline engine Hyundai Matrix models are fitted with catalytic convertors which require special operatingconsiderations. The catalytic convertor servesto oxidize certain noxious elements of theexhaust gases leaving the engine to reduce thelevel of pollutants emitted from the vehicle and,provided that care is exercised to prevent dam-age, the catalyst will operate efficiently for thelife of the vehicle.
