o Fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and connec- tions for leakage and damage. Replace anydamaged or leaking parts immediately.
WARNING (Diesel only): Never work on injection system with en-gine running or within 30 seconds aftershutting 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 ittouch 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. 6ZF060E1-A
o Timing belt Replace timimg belt and inspect all associated parts related for damage and deformation.Replace any damaged parts immediately. 6ZF060G1-A
o Vapour hose and fuel filler cap The vapour hose and fuel filler cap should be inspected at those intervals specified in themaintenance schedule. Make sure that a newvapour hose or fuel filler cap is correctlyreplaced. 6ZF060F1-A
o Vacuum, crankcase
ventilation hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evidence of heat and/or mechanical damage. Hard andbrittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abra-sions, and excessive swelling indicate dete-rioration. Particular attention should be paid toexamining those hose surfaces nearest tohigh heat sources, such as the exhaustmanifold.Inspect the hose routing to assure that thehoses do not come in contact with any heatsource, sharp edges or moving componentwhich might cause heat damage or mechani-cal wear. Inspect all hose connections, suchas clamps and couplings, to make sure theyare secure, and that no leaks are present.Hoses should be replaced immediately if thereis any evidence of deterioration or damage.

6-6 the level again, allow several minutes for the oil to drain into the sump. Replace the oil fillercap rotating it in a clockwise direction untiltight. The quantity of oil required to raise the level from the minimum to maximum level is approx-imately 1 litre. The distance between the "F" and "L" marks is equal to about 1 liter(Gasoline Engine)/1.2liter(Diesel Engine) of oil.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly
effected by the viscosity and quality of oil,engine rpm and driving condition etc. The engine oil is more consumed under severe driving conditions such as highspeeds and frequent acceleration and de-celeration than normal driving condition.
ZG030E1-A
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION Function of engine oil
Engine oil has the primary function of lubricat-
ing and cooling the inside of the engine. Engine oil consumption
It is normal that an engine should consume
some engine oil while normal driving. The cause of oil consumption in a normal engine are asfollows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wallwhen a piston moves downwards in thecylinder. High negative pressure generatedduring engine operation sucks some of theoil into the combustion chamber. This oil with some oil of the cylinder wall is burned by the high temperature combustiongases during the combustion process. SG040A1-E

ENGINE COOLANT CHECKING AND REPLACING WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot, since the system is pressur- ized and coolant may be ejected from theradiator resulting in scalding.
SG050B1-E
Coolant recommendations
G050B01FC
G050B02FC
Gasoline engine Diesel engine
Only ethylene glycol based coolant with a
corrosion inhibitor suited to aluminium alloy engine components should be used in thecooling system. No further additives or inhibi- tors should be used. The coolant specific gravity should be checked as prescribed inthe maintenance schedule to ensure adequatefrost and corrosion protection. In addition, theengine coolant must be replaced at the speci-fied interval since the corrosion inhibitor prop-erties deteriorate with time.
It is important to note that whilst an increase
in the concentration of anti freeze gives anincrease in the level of frost protection, asolution which is in excess of 65% anti freezewill result in reduced frost protection andengine overheating. Therefore the recom-mended concentration of 50% should not beexceeded for general use.
The use of methanol based anti freeze com-
pounds may result in engine overheating andwill invalidate the vehicle warranty.
4. When the oil has drained from the sump,
replace the drain plug using a new washerensuring that the plug is not over tight-ened.
5. Remove the oil filter by rotating counter- clockwise, using a proprietary oil filter re-moval tool if necessary. Note that the oilfilter will contain approximately 0.5 litres ofoil and this should be collected in a suit-able receptacle.
6. Install a new oil filter having smeared the sealing ring with clean oil and rotatingclockwise until the filter contacts the mount-ing and then a further one half turn. Do notover-tighten Tightening torque: 2.3 ~ 2.5 kgf.m
7. Pour the specified quantity of the recom- mended oil into the engine and replace the filler cap. Start the engine and ensure thatno oil leaks exist. Turn off the engine andafter a couple minutes, recheck the oillevel.
WARNING:Prolonged and repeated contact with used
engine oils may result in serious skin dis-orders including dermatitis and cancer.Avoid contact with skin as far as possibleand always wash thoroughly after any con-tact. Keep used oils out of reach of chil-dren. It is illegal to pollute drains, watercourses and soil. Use only authorized wastecollection facilities including civic amenity sites and garages for the disposal of usedoil and oil filters. If in doubt, contact thelocal authority for disposal instructions.

Engine Coolant Level
SG050D1-E
To Change the Engine Coolant The engine coolant should be changed at
those intervals specified in the vehicle main- tenance schedule in Section 5.
NOTE:Care should be taken to ensure that cool-
ant is not allowed to spill onto thepaintwork since the finish may becomedamaged. If coolant spillage occurs, theaffected area should be rinsed thoroughlywith water. The engine coolant level may be observed
through the side of the plastic coolant reservoir(expansion tank) when the engine is cold. If thelevel is below the "LOW" mark, add coolant ofthe correct concentration until the level is be-tween the "LOW" and "Full" marks. If the levelfalls below the "LOW" mark on a regular basisdespite being topped up, consult a Hyundaidealer. 1. Park the vehicle on level ground and en-
sure that the parking brake is firmly ap-plied, and the engine allowed to cool. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS OPERATION WHILST THE ENGINE IS HOT SINCEBURNING OR SCALDING MAY RESULT.
2. Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the displaced coolant and position this under theradiator drain tap.
3. With the heater temperature control set to the "HOT" position, remove the radiator capand open the radiator drain tap.
4. When the engine coolant has drained com- pletely, close the drain tap ensuring that thisis not over tightened.
5. Prepare a suitable quantity of new engine coolant (refer to section 9) and pour thisinto the radiator.
6. Start the engine with the radiator cap still removed and continue to add coolant as thelevel decreases as air is expelled from thesystem. When the level remains constant,replace the radiator cap and replenish thecoolant reservoir.
7. When the engine is hot, check to ensure that no coolant leaks are present.
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 that

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID The automatic transaxle fluid level should be
checked and changed at those intervals pre- scribed in the maintenance schedule. It is ofparamount importance that only the specifiedfluid is used when replenishing or changing thefluid. The use of other fluids may irreparablydamage the transaxle and invalidate the manu-facturers warranty. In addition the ingress of dirtor lint may prevent correct functioning of thetransaxle and care must be exercised to pre-vent the ingress of such matter.
CAUTION: The transaxle on fluid level must be checked
with the engine running and at normal oper- ating temperature and therefore care mustbe exercised to prevent injury occurringthrough contact with rotating or hot parts ofthe engine. G110B03A-AAT
Recommended Fluid Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is specially designed to operate with DIAMOND ATF SP- III
or SK ATF SP- III.
Damage caused by a nonspecified fluid is notcovered by your new vehicle limited warranty.
Wipe the dipstick, replace it fully and promptlyremove it again. The fluid level should bebetween the upper and lower marks. Fluidneed only be added if the level is at or belowthe lower mark and must never be increasedabove the higher mark. If additional fluid isrequired, this should be poured into the trans-mission through the dipstick tube with the aidof a suitable funnel. CAUTION: The automatic transaxle unit is a preci-sion engineered assembly and correctoperation is dependant upon the exclu-sion of dirt and lint from the unit. There-fore, it is imperative that only lint freecloth (eg nylon) is used for wiping thedipstick and that the area around the

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.
