5DAILY OPERATING CHECKS
SG020B1-E The following items should be checked on a daily basis or whenever the ve- hicle is refuelled, whichever occurssooner.
o Engine oil level.
o Engine coolant level.
o Power steering fluid level.
o Brake fluid level.
o Windscreen washer fluid level.
o Battery condition.
o Tyre condition and pressures.
o Operation and cleanliness of all light- ing equipment.
o Windscreen wiper and washer op- eration.
o Horn operation.
o Warning light operation.
o Adjustment and cleanliness of mir- rors.
o Seat and seat belt adjustment and
operation.
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. G030A01FC-EAT The correct engine oil level is of para-
mount importance. An excessively high or low oil level may result inirreparable damage being sustained by the engine. The engine oil level must be checked on a daily basis, wheneverthe vehicle is refuelled or before start- ing a long trip, whichever occurs sooner.
In addition, it is imperative that only an
approved grade and specification of oilis used to avoid the possibility of serious engine damage and prematurewear. The use of "budget price" oil is a false economy that must be avoided if the maximum reliability and usefullife is to be obtained from the vehicle. G030B02O-EAT Recommended Oil Petrol engine
ENGINE OIL
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 environ- ment of the engine by means of thetable shown above. The engine oil recommendations are complete in themselves and the use of additives isneither required nor recommended. The use of engine oil additives may result in invalidation of the vehicle warranty.

The clutch pedal freeplay should be
checked against the specified value. If the freeplay is not correct, the clutchshould be adjusted by a Hyundai authorised repairer.
SG150A1-E
Steering Wheel
G150A01FC
Steering wheel freeplay should be checked to ensure that the specifiedvalue is not exceeded. 1.18 in. (30 mm) SG170A1-EBrake Pedal The brake pedal freeplay should be checked with the engine turned off.The pedal to floor clearance should be checked with the engine running and a load of 490 N applied to the pedal. Ifeither value is incorrect, the neces- sary adjustment should be performed by a Hyundai authorised repairer. Pedalto floor clearance: 1.97 in. (50 mm)

G190B01TB-GAT
Diesel Engine
At the scheduled maintenance inspec- tion, belts should be examined forcracks, wear, fraying or other evi- dence of deterioration and replaced if necessary. Belt routing should also be checked to be sure there is no interference be- tween the belts and other parts of theengine.
SG190A1-E
Petrol Engine
The various engine drive belts must be
checked for condition, tension and free- dom from damage and excessive wear. The tension of a new belt must be checked after thirty minutes runningfollowing fitment of the new belt to allow for the initial belt stretch. CHECKING DRIVE BELTS

CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL CLEARANCE
45.1 mm (1.78 in.)G180A01L
You need a helper to check the brake pedal clearance. With the engine run-ning, have your helper press down on the brake pedal several times and then hold it down with a force of about 490N(50 kg, 110 lbs). The brake pedal clearance is the distance from the top surface of the brake pedal to the as-phalt sheeting under the floor mat. If the brake pedal clearance is not within the limits specified in the illustration,have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if nec- essary.
