!!WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with
engine running or within 30 sec- onds after shutting off engine. Highpressure pump, rail, injectors and high pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the enginestopped. The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it contacts the body. People usingpacemakers should ensure that they keep a distance of 30cm from the ECU or wiring harness within theengine room whilst engine is run- ning, since the high currents in the Common Rail system produce con-siderable magnetic fields.
WARNING:
The electric engine cooling fan au-
tomatically switches on and off ac- cording to engine temperature. Be careful to keep away from the fanduring this check as it may switch on at any time.
NOTE: Only lint free cloth should be used
for wiping the dipstick. The pres- ence of lint within the transmis- sion may cause problems with the normal function of the transmis-sion. CAUTION:
Correct operation of the braking
system is essential to the safe op- eration of the vehicle and there- fore, any maintenance operationsother than those listed below should be entrusted to a Hyundai authorised repairer.

Brake Fluid Level
The fluid level in the brake fluid reser- voir should be checked periodically.The level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. If the level is at or belowthe "MIN" mark, fluid should be added having carefully cleaned the area sur- rounding the reservoir cap to ensurethat dirt is not allowed to enter the system. It should be noted that the brake fluid level will decrease slightlyas the friction linings of the pads and shoes become worn and that this is a normal condition. WARNING:
Brake fluid is hygroscopic and
should never be stored in an un-sealed container. The presence ofwater in the braking system will cause vapour locks and increase the possibility of brake fade alongwith promoting corrosion within the braking system. The brake fluid must be changed at the specifiedtime or mileage interval to ensure continued safe operation of the system. Brake fluid will cause rapidand serious damage to paintwork. If accidental spillage occurs, the affected area must be rinsed withwater immediately. Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the eyes or to be ingestedand ensure that fluid is safely stored away form the reach of chil- dren. The clutch fluid level in the mastercylinder should be checked when per-forming other under bonnet checks. The system should be checked for leakage at the same time. Ensure that the clutch fluid level is always between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir.Fill as required. Fluid loss indicates a leak in the clutch system which should be inspected and repaired immedi-ately.

SG130B2-E Adding Fluid Recommended brake fluid conform- ing to DOT 3 or DOT 4 should be used. The reservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoid contamination fromforeign matter or moisture.
CAUTION:
Brake fluid is hygroscopic andshould never be stored in an un- sealed container. Do not allow petroleum base fluid to contami- nate the brake fluid since damage to the rubber seals of the systemmay result. WARNING:
Brake fluid will cause rapid and
serious damage to paintwork. If accidental spillage occurs, the af- fected area must be rinsed withwater immediately. Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the eyes or to be ingestedand ensure that fluid is safely stored away form the reach of chil- dren. SG140C2-E
Checking the Refrigerant
1. Start the engine and run at idle for
several minutes with the refrigera- tion system running at the coldest setting.
2. If the air coming out of the in-dash vents is not cold, have the air con- ditioning system inspected by yourHyundai authorised repairer.
CAUTION:
Running the air conditioning sys-
tem for extended periods of time with a low refrigerant level may damage the compressor.

1. Loosen the adusting bolts just
enough so that the components can be moved.
2. Whilst pulling outward on the pry bar
or screwdriver, test the belt deflec-tion with your thumb.
3. After tightening the adjusting bolts, be sure to recheck the belt tension. Overtightening drive belts can cause excessive wear and failurein driven components and belts.
WARNING:
The drive belt should be checked when the engine is cool or cold to avoid burning yourself on hot en-gine. The fusible link prevents damage tothe wiring harness in the event of anelectrical system malfunction. Failure of a fusible link is indicative of a serious overload condition havingoccurred and therefore the electrical system should be checked by a Hyundai authorised repairer before areplacement link is fitted.
WARNING:
Under no circumstances should afusible link be replaced with any- thing other than a new link of the same rating. The use of higherrated links or other means of con- necting the circuit will create a potential fire hazard.
