!
G020D01TG-GAT Improper or incomplete service may
result in problems. This section gives instructions only for the maintenanceitems that are easy to perform.
Several procedures should be done by
an authorized Hyundai dealer.
NOTE: Improper owner maintenance dur-
ing the warranty period may affect warranty coverage. WARNING:
o Performing maintenance work on a vehicle can be dangerous. You can be seriously injured while performing some maintenance procedures. If you lack sufficientknowledge and experience or the proper tools and equipment to do the work, have it done by anauthorized Hyundai dealer.
o Working under the hood with the engine running is dangerous. It becomes even more dangerous when you wear jewelry or looseclothing. These can become en- tangled in moving parts and re- sult in injury. Therefore, if youmust run the engine while work- ing under the hood, make certain that you remove all jewelry (espe-cially rings, bracelets, watches, and necklaces) and all neckties, scarves, and similar loose cloth-ing before getting near the en- gine or cooling fans.

Gasoline Engine
!WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking the engine oil as it may be hot enoughto burn you.
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. HHP5003
