CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL

G030A01A-AAT Engine oil is essential to the performance and service of the engine. It is suggested that you check the oil level at least once a week in normal use and more often if you are on a trip or driving in severe conditions.

G030B01O-AAT Recommended Oil

o If SAE 5W-20, ILSAC GF-3 engine oil is not available, secondary recommended engine oil for corresponding temperature range can be used.

G030D01A-AAT Adding Oil

G030C02A-AAT To Check the Oil Level

G030D03A If the oil level is close to or below the "L" mark, add oil until it reaches the "F" mark. To add oil:

G030B01JM-U The engine oil quality should meet the following classification.

API SJ, SL or ABOVE, ILSAC GF-3 or ABOVE NOTE: o For good fuel economy, SAE 5W-20 (5W- 30), ILSAC GF-3 engine oil is preferred regardless of regional option and engine variation.

G030C03A Before checking the oil, warm up the engine to the normal operating temperature and be sure it is parked on level ground. Turn the engine off.

Wait five minutes, then remove the dipstick, wipe it off, fully reinsert the dipstick and with- draw it again. Then note the highest level the oil has reached on the dipstick. It should be be- tween the upper ("F") and lower ("L") range.

CHECKING AND CHANGING THE ENGINE COOLANT

G050A01A-AAT

WARNING:

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the engine coolant is under pressure and may erupt through the opening if the cap is re- moved. You could be seriously burned if you do not observe this precaution. Do not re- move the radiator cap until the radiator is cool to the touch.

G050B01A-AAT Recommended Engine Coolant

G050C01A-AAT To Check the Coolant Level

Use a high quality ethylene-glycol coolant in a 50/50 mix with water. The engine coolant should be compatible with aluminum engine parts. Ad- ditional corrosion inhibitors or additives should not be used. The cooling system must be main- tained with the correct concentration and type of engine coolant to prevent freezing and corro- sion. Never allow the concentration of antifreeze to exceed the 60% level or go below the 35% level or damage to the coolant system may result. For proper concentration when adding or replacing the coolant, refer to the following table.

The coolant level can be seen on the side of the plastic coolant reservoir. The level of the coolant should be between the "L" and "F" lines on the reservoir when the engine is cool. If the level is below the "L" mark, add engine coolant to bring it up between "L" and "F". If the level is low, inspect for coolant leaks and recheck the fluid level frequently. If the level drops again, visit your Hyundai dealer for an inspection and diag- nosis of the reason.

G050D02A-AAT To Change the Coolant

The coolant should be changed at those inter- vals specified in the vehicle maintenance sched- ule in Section 5.

DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

Engine coolant can damage the finish of your car. If you spill engine coolant on the car, wash it off thoroughly with clean water.

1. Park the car on level ground, set the parking brake and remove the radiator cap when cool.

2. Be sure your drain receptacle is in place. Open the drain cock on the radiator. Allow all the engine coolant to drain from the cooling system, then securely close the drain cock. 3. Check Section 9 for the capacity of the cooling system in your car. Then, following the manufacturer's directions on the engine coolant container, add the appropriate quan- tity of coolant to the radiator.

G050D01A

G050D02A

4. Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise with- out pressing down on it, until it stops. This relieves any pressure remaining in the cool- ing system. And remove the radiator cap by pushing down and turning counterclockwise. Now fill the radiator with clean demineralized or distilled water. Continue to add clean demineralized or distilled water in small quan- tities until the fluid level stays up in the radiator neck.

5. Start the engine, top off the radiator with water and then add engine coolant to the reservoir until the level is between "L" and "F".

6. Replace the radiator and reservoir caps and check to be sure the drain cocks are fully closed and not leaking.

REPLACING THE SPARK PLUGS

G060B01A-AAT

WARNING:

The cooling fan is controlled by engine cool- ant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant temperature decreases, the fan will automatically shut off. This is a normal con- dition.

0.039 ~ 0.043 in. (1.0 ~ 1.1 mm )

G060A01L The spark plugs should be changed at the intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in section 5, or whenever engine per- formance indicates they should be changed. Symptoms that suggest poor spark plug perfor- mance include engine misfiring under load, loss of fuel economy, poor acceleration, etc. When spark plugs are replaced, always use spark plugs recommended by Hyundai. The use of other spark plugs can result in loss of perfor- mance, radio interference or engine damage.

NOTE: When replacing the spark plugs, genuine Hyundai replacement parts are recom- mended.

Recommended Spark Plugs: CHAMPION : RC10YC4
NGK : BKR5ES-11

G060C01S-GAT Changing the Spark Plugs

You will find it easier to change spark plugs if the engine is cold. Always change one spark plug at a time. This helps avoid getting the wires mixed up.

G060C01A-D 1. Remove the center cover on the engine

rocker cover.

2. Using a clean cloth, remove any dirt that has accumulated around the base of the spark plug so it cannot fall into the cylinder when the spark plug is removed.

3. To remove the spark plug cable, pull straight up on the insulated connector, not the cable. Pulling on the cable may damage the carbon core conductor.

5. To remove the old spark plug, turn the wrench

handle in a counterclockwise direction.

DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

It is recommended that the engine be cool or cold when changing the spark plugs. If the engine is hot, you could burn yourself on the insulated connector, the spark plug or the engine itself.

4. When preparing to remove the old spark plug, guide the socket down over the spark plug, being careful not to damage the ce- ramic insulator.

6. To install the new spark plug, guide the socket down over the spark plug, being care- ful not to damage the ceramic insulator.

G060C03A-D

G060C04A-D

NOTE: Spark plugs should be tightened firmly. Over- tightening can damage the threads in the aluminum cylinder head. Also, leaving them too loose can cause the spark plugs to get very hot and possibly result in damage to the engine.

7. Replace the cable by pushing the insulated connector directly down onto the electrode. Check to be sure it has snapped into place and can't fall off.

CHANGING THE AIR CLEANER FILTER G070A03Y-AAT

CAUTION:

o Operating your vehicle without a proper air filter in place can result in excessive engine wear.

o When removing the air cleaner filter, be careful that dust or dirt does not enter the air intake. These may result in damage to the air cleaner filter.

G070A01A

The replacement of air cleaner filter is per- formed in the following manner.

1. Unsnap the clips around the cover. 2. When this is done, the cover can be lifted off, the old filter removed and the new filter put in its place.

Genuine Hyundai replacement parts are recom- mended.

WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES

G080A02A-AAT

HEF119

The wiper blades should be carefully inspected from time to time and cleaned to remove accu- mulations of road film or other debris. To clean the wiper blades and arms, use a clean sponge or cloth with a mild soap or detergent and water. If the wipers continue to streak or smear the glass, replace them with genuine Hyundai re- placement parts or their equivalent.

CAUTION:

o Do not operate the wipers on dry glass. This can result in more rapid wear of the wiper blades and may scratch the glass. o Keep the blade rubber out of contact with petroleum products such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.

2. Use your finger or suitable tool to feel inside the hole. The oil level should be at its bottom edge. If it is not, check for leaks before adding oil. To refill the transaxle or bring the oil level up, add oil slowly until it reaches the proper level. Do not overfill.

3. Replace the plug and washer, screw it in with your fingers and then tighten securely with the wrench.

CHECKING THE TRANSAXLE FLUID (AUTOMATIC)

G110A01E-AAT Transaxle fluid in the automatic transaxle should be checked at those intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.

NOTE: Automatic transaxle fluid is basically a red color. As driving distance increases, the fluid color turns darkish red gradually. It is a normal condition and you should not judge the need to replace based upon the chang- ing color. You must replace the automatic transaxle fluid in accordance with intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in sec- tion 5.

G110B05A-AAT Recommended Fluid Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is specially designed to operate with HYUNDAI GENUINE ATF SP III, DIAMOND ATF SP III, SK ATF SP III or other brands meeting the SP III specifi- cation approved by Hyundai Motor Co.. Damage caused by a nonspecified fluid is not covered by your new vehicle limited warranty.

CAUTION:

Use of aftermarket ATF additives may cause damage to the automatic transaxle. Only use HYUNDAI GENUINE ATF SP III, DIAMOND ATF SP III, SK ATF SP III or other brands meeting the SP III specification approved by Hyundai Motor Co.. If you are having your vehicle serviced at a facility other than a Hyundai dealer, verify that the correct ATF is used for your vehicle.

G110C02A-AAT Transaxle Fluid Capacity The fluid capacity of the automatic transaxle is 6.45 U.S. quarts (6.1 liters).

WARNING:

The transaxle fluid level should be checked when the engine is at normal operating tem- perature. This means that the engine, radia- tor, exhaust system etc., are very hot. Exer- cise great care not to burn yourself during this procedure.

G110D02A-AAT To Check the Transaxle Fluid Level

C090A01A

Park the car on level ground with the parking brake engaged. When the transaxle fluid level is checked, the transaxle fluid should be at normal operating temperature and the engine idling.

G110D03A

While the engine is idling, apply the brakes and move the gear selector lever from "P" to each of its other positions -- "R", "N", "D", "2", "L" -- and then return to "N" or "P". With the engine still idling:

1. Open the hood, being careful to keep hands, hair and clothing clear of any moving parts. 2. Remove the transaxle dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert the dipstick as far as it will go, then remove it again. Now check the fluid level on the dipstick. It should be in the "HOT" range on the dipstick.

Drive belts should be checked periodically for proper tension and adjusted if necessary. At the same time, belts should be examined for cracks, wear, fraying or other evidence of deterioration and replaced if necessary. Belt routing should also be checked to be sure there is no interference between the belts and other parts of the engine. After a belt is replaced, the new belt should be adjusted again after two or three weeks to eliminate slack resulting from initial stretching after use.

G200A01A A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits from the battery are ever overloaded, thus pre- venting damage to the entire wiring harness. (This could be caused by a short in the system drawing too much current.) If this ever happens, have a Hyundai dealer determine the cause, repair the system and replace the fusible link. The fusible links are located in a relay box for easy inspection.

G200B01A-AAT Replacing Accessory Fuses

1. Turn off the ignition and all other switches. 2. Open the fuse box and examine each fuse. Remove each fuse by pulling it toward you (a small "fuse puller" tool is contained in the fuse box to simplify this operation).

3. Be sure to check all other fuses even if you

find one that appears to have opened.

HLC4002

The fuse box for the lights and other electrical accessories will be found low on the dashboard on the driver's side. Inside the box you will find a list showing the circuits protected by each fuse. If any of your car's lights or other electrical accessories stop working, a blown (open) fuse could be the reason. If the fuse has opened, you will see that the metal strip inside the fuse has melted through. If you suspect a blown fuse, follow this procedure:

HLC4003

4. Replace the blown fuse by pressing a new fuse of the same rating into place. The fuse should be a snug fit. If it is not, have the fuse clip repaired or replaced by a Hyundai deal- er. If you do not have a spare fuse, you may be able to borrow a fuse of the same or lower rating from an accessory you can tempo- rarily get along without (the radio or cigarette lighter, for example). Always remember to replace the borrowed fuse.

G200B02L

CAUTION:

An open fuse indicates that there is a prob- lem in the electrical circuit. If you replace a fuse and it blows as soon as the accessory is turned on, the problem is serious and should be referred to a Hyundai dealer for diagnosis and repair. Never replace a fuse with anything except a fuse with the same or a lower amperage rating. A higher capacity fuse could cause damage and create a fire hazard.

NOTE: See page 6-32 for the fuse panel descrip- tions.

CHECKING THE BATTERY

G210A01A-AAT

D010B01A

WARNING:

When working with batteries, carefully ob- serve the following precautions to avoid se- rious injuries.

The fluid in the battery contains a strong solution of sulfuric acid, which is poisonous and highly corrosive. Be careful not to spill it on yourself or the car. If you do spill battery fluid on yourself, immediately do the following:

o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush the affected areas with water for at least 15
minutes and then seek medical assistance. o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse out your eyes with water and get medical assistance as soon as possible. While you are being driven to get medical assistance, continue to rinse your eyes by using a sponge or soft cloth saturated with water.

o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large quantity of water or milk followed by milk of magnesia, eat a raw egg or drink vegetable oil. Get medical assistance as soon as pos- sible.

While batteries are being charged (either by a battery charger or by the vehicle's alternator), they produce explosive gases. Always observe these warnings to prevent injuries from occur- ring: o Charge batteries only in a well ventilated

G210B02A-AAT Checking the Battery

Keep the battery clean. Any evidence of corro- sion around the battery posts or terminals should be removed using a solution of household bak- ing soda and warm water. After the battery terminals are dry, cover them with a light coating of grease.

WARNING:

Always read the following instruc- tions carefully when handling a battery. Keep lighted cigarettes and all other flames or sparks away from the battery. Hydrogen, which is a highly com- bustible gas, is always present in battery cells and may explode if ignited. Keep batteries out of the reach of children because batteries con- tain highly corrosive SULFURIC ACID. Do not allow battery acid to contact your skin, eyes, clothing or paint finish.

POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL

G230A03A-AAT

If any electrolyte gets into your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes and get immediate medical attention. If possible, continue to apply wa- ter with a sponge or cloth until medical attention is received. If electrolyte gets on your skin, thoroughly wash the contacted area. If you feel a pain or a burning sensation, get medical attention immediately. Wear eye protection when charg- ing or working near a battery. Always provide ventilation when working in an enclosed space.

o When lifting a plastic-cased battery, ex- cessive pressure on the case may cause battery acid to leak, resulting in personal injury. Lift with a battery carrier or with your hands on opposite corners.

o Never attempt to charge the battery when

the battery cables are connected.

o The electrical ignition system works with

high voltage. Never touch these components with the engine running or the ignition switched on.

WARNING:

The radiator fan is controlled by engine cool- ant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan, so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the cool- ant temperature decreases the fan will auto- matically shut off. This is a normal condition.

G220B01A-AAT Checking Engine Cooling Fan

The engine cooling fan should come on auto- matically if the engine coolant temperature is high.

G220C01A-AAT Checking Condenser Cooling Fan

The condenser cooling fan should come on automatically whenever the air conditioner is in operation.

HLC5006
The power steering fluid level should be checked regularly. To check the power steering fluid level, be sure the engine is "OFF", then check to make certain that the power steering fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir.

NOTE: Grinding noise from the power steering pump may be heard immediately after the engine is started in extremely cold conditions (below -4°F). If the noise stops during warm up, there is no abnormal function in the system. It is due to a power steering fluid character- istic in extremely cold conditions.

Recommended Fluid Use PSF-3 type fluid

NOTE: Do not start the engine when the power steering oil reservoir is empty.

G240A01A-AAT POWER STEERING HOSES

It is suggested that you check the power steer- ing hose connections for fluid leakage at those intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5. The power steering hoses should be replaced if there is severe surface cracking, pulling, scuff- ing or worn spots. Deterioration of the hose could cause premature failure.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS

Emission Control System ............................................. 7-2
Catalytic Converter ....................................................... 7-3

7 EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

H010A01A-AAT Your Hyundai is equipped with an emission control system to meet all requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or Cali- fornia Air Resources Board. There are three emission control systems which are as follows.

1) Crankcase Emission Control System 2) Evaporative Emission Control System 3) Exhaust Emission Control System

In order to ensure the proper function of the emission control systems, it is recommended that you have your car inspected and main- tained by an authorized Hyundai dealer in accordance with the maintenance schedule in this manual.

H010B01A-AAT 1. CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL

SYSTEM

The positive crankcase ventilation system is employed to prevent air pollution caused by blow-by gases being emitted from the crank- case. This system supplies filtered fresh air to the crankcase through the air intake hose. Inside the crankcase, the fresh air mixes with blow-by gases, then passes through the PCV valve into the induction system.

H010C01S-AAT 2. Evaporative Emission Control (Includ- ing ORVR: Onboard Refueling Vapor Recovery) System

The Evaporative Emission Control System is designed to prevent fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. (The ORVR system is designed to allow the vapors from the fuel tank to be loaded into a canister while refueling at the gas station, preventing the escape of fuel vapors into the atmosphere.)

Canister

Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel tank are absorbed and stored in the onboard canister. When the engine is running, the fuel vapors absorbed in the canister are drawn into the induction system through the purge control solenoid valve.

Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)

The purge control solenoid valve is controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM); when the engine coolant temperature is low during idling, the PCSV closes so that evaporated fuel is not taken into the engine. After the engine warms-up during ordinary driving, the PCSV opens to introduce evaporated fuel to the engine.

H010D01A-AAT 3. EXHAUST EMISSION

CONTROL SYSTEM

The Exhaust Emission Control System is a highly effective system which controls ex- haust emissions while maintaining good ve- hicle performace.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS

system.

WARNING:

o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is

your best source of assistance.

o Do not stop your Hyundai over any combustible material such as grass, paper, leaves or rags. These materials might contact the hot catalytic con- verter and a fire might result.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

H020A01A-AAT

Catalytic Converter

HLC5022

All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with a mono- lith type three-way catalytic converter to reduce the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas. Exhaust gases passing through the cata- lytic converter cause it to operate at a very high temperature. The introduction of large amounts of unburned gasoline into the ex- haust may cause the catalytic converter to overheat and create a fire hazard. This risk may be reduced by observing the following:

WARNING:

o Use unleaded fuel only. o Maintain the engine in good operating condition. Extremely high catalytic con- verter temperatures can result from im- proper operation of the electrical, igni- tion or multiport electronic fuel injec- tion.

o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or is hard to start, have your Hyundai dealer inspect and repair the problem as soon as possible.

o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level. Running out of gasoline may cause the engine to misfire and result in damage to the catalytic converter.

o Avoid idling the engine for periods

longer than 10 minutes.

o The vehicle should not be pushed or pulled to get started. This may cause the catalytic converter to overheat and create a fire hazard.

o Do not touch the catalytic converter or any other part of the exhaust system while the catalytic converter is hot. Shut off the engine, wait for at least one hour before touching the catalytic con- verter or any other part of the exhaust

These pressures were chosen to pro- vide the most satisfactory combina- tion of ride comfort, tire wear and stability under normal conditions. Tire pressures should be checked at least monthly. Proper tire inflation pressures should be maintained for these rea- sons:

8 CONSUMER INFORMATION, REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS & BINDING ARBITRATION OF WARRANTY CLAIMS

NOTE: o Underinflation also results in ex- cessive wear, poor handling and reduced fuel economy. Wheel de- formation also is possible. Keep your tire pressures at the proper levels. If a tire frequently needs refilling, have it checked by your Hyundai Dealer.

o Overinflation produces a harsh ride, excessive wear at the center of the tire tread, and a greater possibility of damage from road hazards.
