• Remove the dipstick again to check oil level.
• Oil level should be between 'F' and 'L' mark
• If oil level is found below or at 'L' (low) mark,
Oil Filter Cap and add oil till it reaches 'F' mark. Reconfirm
the oil level once again
B. ENGINE COOLANT RESERVOIR
• Park the car on a level ground.
• Check for coolant live in the reservoir bottle.
• The level should be between the 'F' and 'L' mark.
• If found below 'L' open the Reservoir Cap & add
plain water.
RADIATOR

(Radiator Coolant concentration: Water 65% antifreeze: 35%)
CAUTION
Never open the radiator cap when engine is hot. If level drops
frequently, contact AVCO Service Center.
C. ENGINE COOLANT HOSES

• Check Brake Fluid level in the Reservoir Bottle.
• Level should be between Min & Max-mark.
• If found Low, top up to the Max-mark.
• Use Hyundai Genuine Brake Oil.
E. TO ADD OIL
• Wipe off any dirt on Reservoir Cap.
• Unscrew the Reservoir Cap tightly to avoid moisture
Absorption.
• Secure the Reservoir Cap tightly to avoid moisture
absorption.
CAUTION

• Don't operate the wiper on dry/dirty Windshield glass,
as Abrasive dust particles can cause permanent scratches.
J. TYRE CARE
• Check tyre pressure at least once a week.
• Always maintain a tyre pressure of 30 PSI in all tyres.
• High tyre pressure adversely effects tyre life, suspension,
Comfort and safety of the vehicle.
• Low tyre pressure adversely effects tyre life, fuel
efficiency, Steering effort, steering stability.
• Check tyres periodically for abnormal wear, damage
and cuts.
CARE
Make sure that Tyre Pressure Gauge used to measure pressure
is in good condition.
K. BATTERY
• Check Battery Terminals for any oxidation/deposits.
• If deposits are found, wash the terminals with warm
water.

Intermediate position with blower on.
CARE
Operate Air Con for at least 10 min during the winter season
every week to lubricate its components.
M. CHECKING BELT TENSIONS
• Keep the engine in the switched off condition.
• To check the belt tension press the respective belt
with thumb pressure in the middle.
• The deflection for the respective belt should be as
under.
Description Deflection Value
Alternator/Water Pump Drive Belt 9~10 mm
Air Con Drive Belt 8~9 mm
Power Steering Pump Drive Belt 7~10 mm
2. EMERGENCY
HANDLING
A. CHECKING AND REPLACING FUSES
• There are two fuses boxes in the vehicle
-Engine Compartment Fuse Box (ECFB)
-Passenger Compartment Fuse Box (PCFB)
• Fuses tend to blow off whenever an electrical circuit
is Overloaded.
• Blow fuse should be replaced with the one with equivalent
rating.
• Fuse rating grid is given on the fuse box cover.
• Use 'Fuse Removal Tool' provided in the P.C. Fuse
box to remove fuses.
CAUTION
• Use of higher rating fuses can be a potential fire
hazard
• If the fuse blows off repeatedly, consult the AVCO
Service Center immediately.
B. ENGINE NOT STARTING
Warning Lamp not glowing with Ignition 'ON' condition.
• Check for blown IGN fuse in Engine Compartment Fuse
Box.
• Replace if found blown off.
Engine fails to crank
• Check if battery terminals/connections are clean and
tight.
• Check the Horn. If its sounds low, it indicates a
discharged battery.
• Try to push Start the in 2nd gear.
Engine cranks but does not start
• Check availability of fuel in the Fuel Tank.
• Check for ECU fuse in Engine Compartment Fuse box
Replace if found blown off.
• Check all connectors at coil, spark plug and other
locations in engine compartment for looseness. Press connectors
and reconnect if required.
• Incase the engine still does not start contact the
AVCO Service Center.
ENGINE OVERHEATING Due to Coolant Leakage
• Check the coolant level in the Radiator and Reservoir
Bottle
• If found low, top up with clean water and then start
the Engine.
• Check carefully for any continuous Coolant leakage
from Radiator, Hoses and joints etc. Repair the hoses if possible.
CAUTION
Do not open Radiator Cap when engine is hot, as steam and
boiling water may eject suddenly, resulting in burns.
D. ENGINE OVERHEATING
Due to Radiator Fan not working
• Check if Radiator Fan is working when engine is hot
and ignition switch is in 'ON' position.
• Switch off the engine and check Radiator Fan Fusible
Link.
• Replace the Fuse if found blown off.
• If fan still does not work, interchange the Radiator
Fan Relay with AC Relay to confirm proper function of Relay.
Due to Loose or Broken Water Pump Belt
• check tension of the water pump belt.
• if found loose or broken, get it adjusted or replaced.
NOTE
Contact AVCO Road Service Center if you cannot fix the overheating
problem.
D. HEAD LAMP NOT GLOWING

• Loosen the wheel nuts with Wheel Spanner before raising
the wheel.
• Raise the car on the jack and remove the wheel nuts
and the wheel.
• Re-install the inflated spare wheel and tighten the
nuts first with hand and the with wheel spanner
• Lowe the vehicle and tighten all the nuts with wheel
spanner by full force of hand. (Tighten torque of wheel nuts
900~1100 kg cm)
Jack should rest on Solid/Hard surface, otherwise
it may slip/sink.
F. AIRCON NOT COOLING
• Check if AC switch is pressed inside in the 'ON' mode.
• Check blower switch is turned 'ON' to speed 1 or 2
or 3.
• Make sure that the Heater is completely switched off.

position.
To remove exterior fog
• Set air intake control to fresh position.
• Set the airflow control to defrost position.
• Set temperature control to the warm.
• Set the fan speed control to "3" or "4"
position.
3. SOME USEFUL
TIPS FOR BETTER
FUEL ECONOMY
• Maintain correct tyre pressure.
• Maximize the use of 5th gear for better fuel economy.
• 3 minutes idling=1km lost. Do not keep the engine
idling for more than 2 minutes.
• Use air conditioner judiciously as it consumes around
20-25% of fuel.
• Drive your car in correct gear
Gear 1 2 3 4 5 Remarks
KMPH upto 10 10~20 30~40 40~50 50~Above 50~60 KMPH a cost
conscious speed
Useful Tips
• Remove Parking Brake fully before start to
avoid straining of Brakes and Engine.
• Do not ride the clutch pedal this will cause slippage
resulting in more fuel consumption and damage to the clutch
parts.
• Do not accelerate the engine too much while clutch
pedal is in a pressed condition.
• Use fuel additives to protect your engine against
inconsistent/adulterated petrol.
• Slow down crossing over pothole's and bumps to avoid
damage to rims and tyres. |
