Checking the technical condition of the car



Check engine oil level
Before checking the engine oil warm up the engine to normal operating temperature and make sure the vehicle is on a level surface. Turn off the engine.

Dipstick
Fig. 1.155. Dipstick


Wait a minute, pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert the dipstick up to the stop and then pull it out. Check the oil level on the dipstick. It must be between the ?�FULL?� (?�full?�) and ?�LOW?� (?�Low?�) on the dipstick (Fig. 1.155).

Topping up the engine oil

Fig. 1.156. Topping up the engine oil


If the oil level is near or below the ?�L?� (?�Low?�) on the dipstick, add oil to the mark ?�F?� (?�full?�). To do this unscrew the oil filler plug of the engine by turning it counterclockwise. Fill with oil and check oil (Fig. 1.156).
Do not fill more oil than required.
Install the plug by turning it clockwise.
The distance between the "F (" Full ") and?� L ?�(?� Low ?�) on the dipstick corresponds to about 1 lmotornogo oil.

Engine oil
Motor oil is used for lubrication of pistons, piston rings and cylinder (part of it enters the combustion chamber and burns). A thin layer of engine oil remains on the cylinder walls as the piston moves down. Vacuum is generated during operation of the engine, draws a quantity of oil in the combustion chamber. The oil and oil from the cylinder walls during combustion is combusted air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber.
On the consumption of oil has a strong influence viscosity and oil quality, engine speed, driving conditions, etc. The engine consumes more oil under extreme conditions, for example, at high speeds and frequent acceleration and braking.

Change engine oil and oil filter (petrol engines)

Engine oil and oil filter should be replaced at the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance in the service book. When driving in heavy duty engine oil and oil filter should be replaced more often.
Change the engine oil and oil filter should be performed in the order shown below.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and apply the parking brake. Start the engine and let it run until the arrow pointer of the coolant temperature does not rise above the minimum mark of the scale. Turn off the engine and move the lever to position "P" ("parking") (automatic transmission) or the gear lever in position reverse gear (manual gearbox).
2. Open the hood and remove the oil filler plug of the engine.
3. The bottom of the car, loosen the drain plug by turning it counterclockwise using the appropriate wrench. Before you completely unscrew the drain plug, make sure that the oil flowing down will fall in a specially prepared for this container, remove the plug and drain the oil.
4. After a little drained, install the drain plug with a new sealing washer and tighten it by turning clockwise.
Tightening torque drain plug: 35-45 Nm.
5. Remove the oil filter. Filter loosen his hands. Place a specially prepared container to drain the oil under the oil filter, because after turning away from him a small amount of oil spilled.
6. Install the new oil filter by following the directions on the package or on the filter. Do not tighten it too much. Make sure that the mounting surface of the crankcase clean and there are no remnants of the old gasket. Lubricate the gasket on the new filter a small amount of fresh engine oil.
7. Fill the engine crankcase with the recommended amount of engine oil.
8. Start the engine and check for oil leakage from the oil filter and drain plug.
9. Stop the engine and recheck the oil level.

NOTE
Always dispose of used motor oil properly. It is recommended to put the oil in a sealed container and give to the service station for recycling. Do not pour used engine oil on the ground and do not dispose of it with household waste.

Engine coolant

Coolant expansion tank petrol engine
Fig. 1.158. Coolant expansion tank petrol engine



Use a 50 percent aqueous solution of coolant based on ethylene glycol. Engine coolant must be compatible with aluminum parts. Do not use extra additives and anticorrosive additives. To prevent freezing and corrosion coolant must have the appropriate concentration and type.

ATTENTION
Do not open the radiator cap until the engine is hot. The cooling system is under pressure and the opening of the tube can result in the release of hot liquid and cause severe burns. Do not open the radiator cap until then, until you can safely hand to touch the radiator.

Antifreeze concentration should not be above 60% and below 35%, it may damage the cooling system. The correct concentration of coolant when adding or changing is listed in Table 1.6.

Checking the coolant level

Tags coolant level in the expansion tank
Fig. 1.159. Tags coolant level in the expansion tank



The coolant level may be seen on the side wall of the plastics expansion tank. For the cold condition of the engine coolant level in the reservoir should be between the ?�LOW?� (?�low?�) and ?�FULL?� (?�full?�). If the coolant level is below the ?�LOW?�, bring it to the required level. In this case, check for leaks in the cooling system. Check the coolant level as often as possible.

Replacing engine coolant
1. Place the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking brake when the engine is cool, remove the radiator cap.
2. Make sure that the container to drain the coolant in place. Open the drain valve of the radiator. Allow the coolant is completely drained from the cooling system, and then close the tap.
3. Follow the manufacturer's coolant, pour the required amount of fluid in the radiator. After that, fill the radiator with distilled or demineralized water. Pour distilled or deminers-lysed water in small portions, as long as it does not appear in the neck of the radiator.
4. Start the engine, add water to the radiator, and then add coolant to the surge tank so that the level is between the ?�LOW?� and ?�FULL?�.
5. Install the radiator cap and expansion tank and check that the drain valves are closed and do not leak.

ATTENTION
Fan radiator cooling system is switched depending on the temperature of the engine coolant and may occasionally turn on when the engine is not running. Be especially careful when working near the fan blades to avoid injury from the rotating blades. As the reduction of the coolant temperature the fan is switched off automatically. This is normal.

Spark plug

Check the spark plug
Fig. 1.160. Check the spark plug



Spark plugs should be changed in accordance with the maintenance schedule of the vehicle specified in the service book, or if the efficiency of the engine significantly reduced. Signs of decline in efficiency of the engine are: power reduction at high load, increased fuel consumption, small size of acceleration, etc. When replacing the spark, always use spark plugs recommended by Hyundai. The use of other spark plugs can reduce the efficiency of the engine, radio interference and damage to the engine.

Replacing spark plugs
Spark plugs is best changed when the engine is cold. Change spark plugs one at a candle. This will help avoid incorrect connection of high-voltage wires.
1. Remove the center cover, which is located on the valve cover of the engine.
2. Use a clean cloth to remove all dirt deposits have accumulated around the spark plug, so that they could not get into the cylinder by removing the spark plug.
3. To remove a high-voltage spark plug wire, and drag the isolated end. If you pull the cord itself may damage the carbon conductive core.
4. If you are installing a spark plug wrench and loosening the old spark plugs do not damage its ceramic insulation.

Place the vehicle on a level surface and turn off the engine.
1. Using the appropriate size wrench, loosen the filler plug by turning it counterclockwise, and turn it until the end of the hand.
2. Check the oil level in the gearbox with a finger or a suitable tool. Oil level should be at the lower edge of the filler plug hole. If the oil level is lower then before you add oil, check it for leaks. Fill or add the oil in the gearbox carefully. Do not pour too much oil.
3. Install the plug, screw it in his hands, and then tighten the key.

Checking the oil level in the gearbox (automatic transmission)
The level of oil in an automatic transmission should be checked at intervals specified in the service book.
Automatic transmission vehicle is designed to use oil DIAMOND ATF SP-III or SK ATF SP-III.
The amount of oil poured into the automatic transmission is 6.1 liters (for a car with an engine 1.6L DOHC) and 6.7 liters (for a car with an engine of 1.8 liter DOHC).

ATTENTION
The level of oil in an automatic transmission should be checked at normal operating temperature of the engine coolant. This means that the engine, radiator, exhaust system, etc. will be very hot. Be especially careful when performing this operation.

Location probe automatic transmission
