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.

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.

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
