!WARNING:
Whilst the engine is running, keep hands and clothing away from mov- ing parts such as the fan and drive belts to prevent injury.
WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system withengine running or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pres- sure pump, rail, injectors and highpressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the engine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious in- jury, if it touch the body. People using pacemakers should not movethan 30cm closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room while engine is running, sincethe high currents in the Common Rail system produce considerable magnetic fields. 5. If the water pump drive belt is broken
or coolant is leaking out, stop theengine immediately and call the near- est Hyundai dealer for assistance.
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot since steam andboiling water may be ejected from the radiator resulting in burns or scalding.
6. If the cause of the overheating can- not be found, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal.Then, if coolant has been lost, care- fully remove the radiator cap and add water to bring the fluid level in thereservoir(page 6-10) up to the base of the radiator fill opening. Fill the coolant expansion tank to the half-way mark.
7. Proceed with caution until it is estab-
lished that the engine is operatingnormally. If the engine overheats repeatedly, the advice of a Hyundai dealer should be sought.! CAUTION:
Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a leak in the cooling system and this should be checked as soon as possible by a Hyundai dealer.

Recommended Oil
1. Petrol Engine
(1) Select engine oil of the proper SAE
viscosity number according to the atmospheric temperature.Recommended viscosity is givenin the following illustration.
(2) A multi grade oil having a specifi- cation which meets A.P.I. specifi-cation of SG, SH or ABOVE isrecommended.DAILY OPERATING CHECKS
SG020B1-E The following items should be checked on a daily basis or whenever the vehicle is refuelled, whichever occurssooner.
o Engine oil level.
o 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 lighting 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 the safety or roadworthiness of the ve-hicle is not functioning correctly.ENGINE OIL
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,whenever the vehicle is refuelled or before starting a long trip, whichever occurs sooner.
In addition, it is imperative that only
an approved grade and specificationof oil is used to avoid the possibility ofserious engine damage and prema- ture wear. The use of "budget price" oil is a false economy that must beavoided if the maximum reliability and useful life is to be obtained from the vehicle.

engine and ensure that no oil leaks exist. Turn off the engine and aftera couple minutes, recheck the oil level.
CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oil by using a funnel. Do not overfill not to damage the engine.
WARNING:
Prolonged and repeated contact withused engine oils may result in seri- ous skin disorders including der-matitis and cancer. Avoid contact with skin as far as possible and always wash thoroughly after anycontact. Keep used oils out of reach of children. It is illegal to pollute drains, water courses and soil. Useonly authorized waste collection facilities including civic amenity sites and garages for the disposalof used oil and oil filters. If in doubt, contact the local authority for dis- posal instructions. 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 resultingin scalding.
SG050B1-E
Coolant recommendations
Only ethylene glycol based coolant
with a corrosion inhibitor suited toaluminium alloy engine componentsshould be used in the cooling system. No further additives or inhibitors should be used. The coolant specificgravity should be checked as pre- scribed in the maintenance schedule to ensure adequate frost and corro-sion protection. In addition, the en- gine coolant must be replaced at the specified interval since the corrosioninhibitor properties deteriorate with time.
ENGINE COOLANT CHECK- ING AND REPLACING
SG050A1-E
! It is important to note that whilst an increase in the concentration of antifreeze gives an increase in the level of frost protection, a solution which is in excess of 65% anti freeze will resultin reduced frost protection and engine overheating. Therefore the recom- mended concentration of 50% shouldnot be exceeded for general use.The use of methanol based anti freezecompounds may result in engine over-heating and will invalidate the vehicle warranty. NOTE: It is imperative that vehicles fitted with an air conditioning systemhave a coolant concentration of the recommended strength at all times. The use of the air condition-ing system when the cooling sys- tem is filled with water only will result in the heater matrix freezingand subsequently bursting.

SG050C1-E
Coolant Level The engine coolant level may be observed through the side of the plas-tic coolant reservoir (expansion tank) when the engine is cold. If the level is below the "LOW" mark, add coolantof the correct concentration until the level is between the "LOW" and "FULL" marks. If the level falls belowthe "LOW" mark on a regular basis despite being topped up, consult a Hyundai dealer. HPG050D2-E
To Change the Coolant
The coolant should be changed atthose intervals specified in the ve- hicle maintenance schedule in Sec- tion 5. NOTE: Care should be taken to ensure that coolant is not allowed to spill onto the paintwork since the fin- ish may become damaged. If cool-ant spillage occurs, the affected area should be rinsed thoroughly with water.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and ensure that the parking brake is firmly applied, and the engine allowed to cool.Do not attempt this operation whilstthe engine is hot since burning orscalding may result.
2. Prepare a suitable receptacle to
collect the displaced coolant andposition this under the radiator drain tap. NOTE: Petrol Engine Only
Before adding the coolant to the
radiator, unscrew the bolts on theengine cover, remove the engine cover and unscrew the flange boltfor fitting water outlet to escape the excess pressure. And if the coolant overflows from the hole whilst add-ing the coolant, screw the bolt and continue to add the coolant.
