B260G01A-AAT Low Oil Pressure Warning Light
CAUTION:
If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is run- ning, serious engine damage mayresult. The oil pressure warning light comes on whenever there is insufficient oil pressure. In normaloperation, it should come on when the ignition switch is turned on, then go out when the engine isstarted. If the oil pressure warning light stays on while the engine is running, there may be a seriousmalfunction. If this happens, stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so, turn offthe engine and check the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill engine oil to the proper level and start the en-gine again. If the light stays on with the engine running, turn the engine off immediately. In any instancewhere the oil light stays on when the engine is running, the engine
!
should be checked by an autho- rized Hyundai dealer before the car is driven again.

B260H02A-GAT Parking Brake / Low Brake Fluid Level Warn-ing Light Warning Light Operation The parking brake/low brake fluid level warning light should come on when theparking brake is applied and the igni- tion switch is turned to "ON" or "START". After the engine is started,the light should go out when the park- ing brake is released. If the parking brake is not applied, thewarning light should come on when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" or "START", then go out when the enginestarts. If the light comes on at any other time, you should slow the vehicle and bring it to a complete stop in a safelocation off the roadway. The brake fluid level warning light indi- cates that the brake fluid level in thebrake master cylinder is low and hy- draulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications should beadded. After adding fluid, if no other trouble is found, the car should be immediately and carefully driven to aHyundai dealer for inspection. If fur- ther trouble is experienced, the vehicle should not be driven at all but taken toa dealer by a professional towing ser- vice or some other safe method.
WARNING:
If you suspect brake trouble, have your brakes checked by a Hyundaidealer as soon as possible. Driving your car with a problem in either the brake electrical system or brakehydraulic system is dangerous, and could result in a serious injury or death.

o Automatic Transmission Fluid
The fluid level should be in the "HOT" range of the dipstick, after the engine and transmission are at normal operat- ing temperature. Check the automatictransmission fluid level with the engine running and the transmission in neu- tral, with the parking brake properlyapplied. Use MOBIL DEXRON-II when adding or changing fluid.
F070D01A-AAT
o Manual Transmission Oil
Inspect the manual transmission oil according to the maintenance sched- ule.
NOTE: If the oil level is low, check for possible leaks before adding oil. Donot overfill. F070F01A-AAT
o Brake Hoses and Lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts immediately.
F070G02A-AAT
o Brake Fluid
Check brake fluid level in the brake
fluid reservoir. The level should bebetween "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. Use only hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or DOT 4.

o Rear Brake Drums/ Linings
Parking Brake
Check the rear brake drums and lin-
ings for scoring, burning, leaking fluid,broken parts, and excessive wear. In-spect the parking brake system in- cluding the parking brake lever and cables. For detailed service proce-dures, refer to the Shop Manual. F070J01A-AAT
o Brake Pads, Calipers and
Rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear, discs for run out and wear, and cali- pers for fluid leakage. F070K01A-AAT o Exhaust Pipe and Muffler Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler and hangers for cracks, dete- rioration, or damage. Start the engine and listen carefully for any exhaustgas leakage. Tighten connections or replace parts as necessary. F070L01A-AAT o Suspension Mounting Bolts Check the suspension connections for looseness or damage. Retighten to the specified torque.

NOTE: For diesel-powered vehicle SAE 0W-
30 oil should be used only in areas where extremely cold temperatures of 10°C(50°F) or below are experi- enced.
(2) The engine oil quality should meet the following API classification:Diesel Engine (2.5 TCI) : CF-4 or ABOVE Diesel Engine (2.9 CRDi) : CF-4 or ABOVE
(3) The engine oil quality should meet the following ACEA classification :
Diesel Engine (2.5 TCI) : B2 or B3Diesel Engine (2.9 CRDi) : B4 orABOVE G030C02HP-AAT To Check the Oil Level Before checking the oil, warm up the engine to the normal operating tem- perature and be sure your car is parked on level ground. Turn the en-gine off. NOTE: Before checking or adding the en- gine oil, remove the cover abovethe engine oil filler cap and the engine oil level dipstick with a blade screwdriver inserted in thenotch (2.5 TCI only).

If the oil level is close to or below the "L" mark, add oil until it reaches the "F" mark. To add oil:
1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counterclockwise.
2. Add oil, then check the level again.
Do not overfill.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clock-
wise.
The distance between the "F" and "L"marks is equal to about 1 liter (Gaso- line Engine/Diesel Engine (2.5 TCI))/ 1.4 liters (Diesel Engine (2.9 CRDi))of oil. G350A01A-GAT
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION Function of Engine Oil
Engine oil has the primary function of lubricating and cooling the inside of the engine. Engine oil consumption It is normal that an engine should consume some engine oil while nor- mal driving. The cause of oil con-sumption in a normal engine are as follows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pis-
tons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on thecylinder wall when a piston movesdownwards in the cylinder. High negative pressure generated dur- ing engine operation sucks someof the oil into the combustion cham- ber. This oil with some oil of the cylin- der wall is burned by the high tem- perature combustion gases duringthe combustion process.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly effected by the viscosityand quality of oil, engine rpm and driving condition etc. The engine oil is more consumed under severedriving conditions such as high speeds and frequent acceleration and deceleration than normal driv-ing condition.

CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oil

range of the dipstick, after engine andtransmission and filter are at normal operating temperature.

Use MOBIL DEXRON-II when adding or changing fluid. Refer to the chapter6. F070F01A-AAT

Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts immediately. F070G02A-AAT o Brake fluid Check brake fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir.

ENGINE OIL REPLENISHMENT
If the indicated oil level is at or below the lower mark of the dipstick, oil should be added until the level is at or below the upper mark. Engine oil consumption It is normal that an engine should consume some engine oil in the course of normal driving.The causes of oil consumption in anormal engine are as follows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pis-
tons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on thecylinder wall when a piston movesdownwards in the cylinder.High negative pressure generatedduring engine operation sucks some of this oil into the combustion cham- ber.This oil with some oil of the cylin-der wall is burned by the high tem-perature combustion gases during the combustion process.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly effected by the viscosityand quality of oil, engine rpm and driving condition etc.More engine oil may be consumedunder severe driving conditionssuch as high speeds, frequent ac- celeration and deceleration, com- pared to normal driving.

To add oil to the engine, remove the filler cap by rotating in an counter-clockwise direction and pour engine oil into the engine. Before checking the level again, allow several minutesfor the oil to drain into the sump. Replace the oil filler cap rotating it in a clockwise direction until tight. The quantity of oil required to raise the level from the minimum to maximum level is approximately 1 litre (PetrolEngine)/1.4 litres (Diesel Engine).
WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when adding the en-gine oil as it may be hot enough toburn you.
