erally aware of state and local laws governing towing. In any case, rather than risk damage to your car, it is suggested that you show this information to the tow truck operator. Be sure that a safety chain system is used and that all state and local laws are observed. WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY 13 o OK FOR AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE D080C02A NOTE: Before towing, check the level of the tran- saxle fluid. If it is below the "HOT" range on the dipstick, add fluid. If you cannot add fluid, a towing dolly must be used as de- scribed above. D080B01A-AAT TOWING A CAR WITH MANUAL TRANSAXLE D080C02A-AAT TOWING A CAR WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE o OK FOR AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE WITH NO DAMAGE o NOT OK FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE o OK FOR MANUAL TRANSAXLE D080B01A D080C01A o If the car is being towed with the rear wheels on the ground, be sure the parking brake is released. o If the car is being towed with the front wheels on the ground, be sure that the transaxle is in neutral. Also, be sure that the ignition key is in the "ACC" position. This is necessary to prevent damage to the steering lock mecha- nism, which is not designed to hold the front wheels straight while the car is being towed. o If any of the loaded wheels or suspension components are damaged, a towing dolly must be used. CAUTION: A car with an automatic transaxle should never be towed from the rear with the front wheels on the ground. This can cause seri- ous damage to the transaxle. If the car must be towed from the rear, a towing dolly must be used under the front wheels. o If the car is being towed with the rear wheels on the ground, be sure the parking brake is released. IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS D120A01A-AAT If you lose your keys, many Hyundai dealers can make you a new key if you have your key number. If you lock the keys inside your car and you cannot obtain a new key, many Hyundai dealers can use special tools to open the door for you. CAUTION: If the car is being towed with all four wheels on the ground, it can be towed only from the front. Be sure that the transaxle is in neutral. Do not tow at speeds greater than 30 mph (50 km/h) and for more than 15 miles (25 km). Be sure the steering is unlocked by placing the key in the "ACC" position. A driver must be in the towed vehicle to operate the steer- ing and brakes. WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY 14 D080D03A-AAT EMERGENCY TOWING Front Rear HLC4014 For emergency towing when no commercial tow vehicle is available, attach a tow cable, chain or strap to one of the towing hooks under the front/ rear of your car. Do not attempt to tow your vehicle in this manner on any unpaved surface. This may result in serious damage to your car. Nor should it be attempted if the wheels, drive train, axles, steering or brakes are damaged. Before towing, be sure the transaxle is in neutral and the key in "ACC" (with the engine off) or in the "ON" position (with the engine running). A driver must be in the towed car to steer it and operate the brakes. CORROSION PREVENTION & APPEARANCE CARE Corrosion Protection .................................................... 4-2 To Help Prevent Corrosion .......................................... 4-2 Washing and Waxing ................................................... 4-3 Cleaning the Interior .................................................... 4-5 44 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE CORROSION PROTECTION E010A01A-AAT Protecting Your Hyundai from Corro- sion By using the most advanced design and con- struction practices to combat corrosion, Hyundai produces cars of the highest quality. However, this is only part of the job. To achieve the long term corrosion resistance your Hyundai can deliver, the owner's cooperation and assistance is also required. E010B01A-AAT Common Causes of Corrosion The most common causes of corrosion on your car are: o Road salt, dirt and moisture that is allowed to accumulate underneath the car. o Removal of paint or protective coatings by stones, gravel, abrasion or minor scrapes and dents which leave unprotected metal exposed to corrosion. E010C01A-AAT High-Corrosion Areas If you live in an area where your car is regularly exposed to corrosive materials, corrosion pro- tection is particularly important. Some of the common causes of accelerated corrosion are road salts, dust control chemicals, ocean air and industrial pollution. E010D01A-AAT Moisture Breeds Corrosion Moisture creates the conditions in which corro- sion is most likely to occur. For example, corro- sion is accelerated by high humidity, particularly when temperatures are just above freezing. In such conditions, the corrosive material is kept in contact with the car surfaces by moisture that is slow to evaporate. Mud is a particular enemy of corrosion protec- tion because it is slow to dry and holds moisture in contact with the vehicle. Even though the mud appears to be dry, it can still retain moisture and promote corrosion. High temperatures can also accelerate corro- sion of parts that are not properly ventilated so the moisture can be dispersed. For all these reasons, it is particularly important to keep your car clean and free of mud or accumulations of other materials. This applies not only on the visible surfaces but particularly to the underside of the car. TO HELP PREVENT CORROSION E020A01A-AAT You can help prevent corrosion from getting started by observing the following: E020B01A-AAT Keep Your Car Clean The best way to prevent corrosion is to keep your car clean and free of corrosive materials. Attention to the underside of the car is particu- larly important. o If you live in a high-corrosion area — where road salts are used, near the ocean, areas with industrial pollution, acid rain, etc.— you should take extra care to prevent corrosion. In winter, hose off the underside of your car at least once a month and be sure to clean the underside thoroughly when winter is over. o When cleaning underneath the car, give par- ticular attention to the components under the fenders and other areas that are hidden from view. Do a thorough job; just dampening the accumulated mud rather than washing it away will accelerate corrosion rather than prevent it. Water under high pressure and steam are particularly effective in removing accumulat- ed mud and corrosive materials. CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE 4 WASHING AND WAXING o When cleaning lower door panels, rocker panels and frame members, be sure that drain holes are kept open so that moisture can escape and not be trapped inside to ac- celerate corrosion. E020C01A-AAT Keep Your Garage Dry Don't park your car in a damp, poorly ventilated garage. This creates a favorable environment for corrosion. This is particularly true if you wash your car in the garage or drive it into the garage when it is still wet or covered with snow, ice or mud. Even a heated garage can contribute to corrosion unless it is well ventilated so moisture is dispersed. E020D01A-AAT Keep Paint and Trim in Good Condition Scratches or chips in the finish should be cov- ered with "touch-up" paint as soon as possible to reduce the possibility of corrosion. If bare metal is showing through, the attention of a qualified body and paint shop is recommended. E020E01A-AAT Don't Neglect the Interior E030A01A-AAT Washing Your Hyundai Moisture can collect under the floor mats and carpeting to cause corrosion. Check under the mats periodically to be sure the carpeting is dry. Use particular care if you carry fertilizers, clean- ing materials or chemicals in the car. These should be carried only in proper contain- ers and any spills or leaks should be cleaned up, flushed with clear water and thoroughly dried. Never wash your car when the surface is hot from being in the sun. Always wash your car in the shade. Wash your car frequently. Dirt is abrasive and can scratch the paint if it is not removed. Air pollution or acid rain may damage the paint and trim through chemical action if pollutants are allowed to remain in contact with the surface. If you live near the ocean or in an area where road salts or dust control chemicals are used, you should pay particular attention to the underside of the car. Start by rinsing the car to remove dust and loose dirt. In winter, or if you have driven through mud or muddy water, be sure to thoroughly clean the underside as well. Use a hard direct stream of water to remove accumu- lations of mud or corrosive materials. Use a good quality car-washing solution and follow the manufacturer's directions on the package. These are available at your Hyundai dealer or auto parts outlet. Don't use strong household deter- gents, gasoline, strong solvents or abrasive cleaning powders as these may damage the finish. 44 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse it frequently and don't damage the finish by rubbing too hard. For stubborn spots, dampen them frequently and remove them a little at a time. To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush or soap-impregnated steel-wool scouring pad. To clean plastic wheel covers, use a clean sponge or soft cloth and water. To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels, use a mild soap or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Protect the bare-metal surfaces by cleaning, polishing and waxing. Because alumi- num is subject to corrosion, be sure to give aluminum alloy wheels special attention in win- ter. If you drive on salted roads, clean the wheels thoroughly afterwards. After washing, be sure to rinse thoroughly. If soapy water dries on the finish, streaking will result. When the weather is warm and the humidity low, you may find it necessary to rinse each section immediately after washing to avoid streaking. After rinsing, dry the car using a damp chamois or soft, absorbent cloth. The reason for drying the car is to remove water from the car so it will dry without water spots. Don't rub, this can damage the finish. If you find any nicks or scratches in the paint, use touch-up paint to cover them to prevent corrosion. To protect the paintwork of the car against corrosion, you must clean your Hyundai (at least once a month). Give special attention to the removal of salt, mud and other substanc- es on the underside of the splashboards of the car. Make sure that the outlets and the under- side of the doors are open. Paint damage can be caused by small accumulation of tar, industrial precipitation, tree resin, insects and bird drop- pings, when not removed immediately. If water alone is not strong enough to remove the accumulated dirt, use a mild car washing solution. Be sure to rinse the surface after washing to remove the solution. Never allow the solution to dry on the painted surfaces. E030B01A-AAT Spot Cleaning Don't use gasoline, strong solvents or corrosive cleaning agents. These can damage the finish of the car. To remove road tar, use turpentine on a clean, soft cloth. Be gentle. To remove dead insects or tree sap, use warm water and mild soap or car-washing solution. Soak the spot and rub gently. If the paint has lost its luster, use a commercial car-cleaning polish. E030C01A-AAT Polishing and Waxing Always wash and dry the car before polishing or waxing or using a combination cleaner and wax. Use a good quality commercial product and follow the manufacturer's directions on the con- tainer. Polish and wax the bright trim pieces as well as the paint. CLEANING THE INTERIOR CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE 4 E030D01A-AAT When to Wax Again E040A01A-AAT To Clean the Vinyl Upholstery E040D01A-AAT Cleaning the Seat Belts You should polish and wax the car again when water no longer beads on a clean surface but spreads out over a larger area. E030E01A-AAT Maintaining Bumpers Special precautions must be observed to pre- serve the appearance of the bumpers on your Hyundai. They are: o Be careful not to spill battery electrolyte or hydraulic brake fluid on the bumpers. If you do, wash it off immediately with clean water. o Be gentle when cleaning the bumper sur- faces. They are made of soft plastic and the surface can be damaged if mistreated. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Use warm water and mild soap or car-washing solution. o Do not expose the bumpers to high tem- peratures. For example, if you have your car repainted, do not leave the bumpers on the car if the car is going to be placed in a high-temperature paint booth. To clean the vinyl upholstery, first remove loose dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner. Then apply a solution of mild soap or detergent and water using a clean sponge or soft cloth. Allow this to stay on the surface to loosen the dirt, then wipe with a clean damp sponge or cloth. If all the dirt stains are not removed, repeat this procedure until the upholstery is clean. Do not use gaso- line, solvent, paint thinner or other strong clean- ers. E040C01A-AAT Cleaning the Carpets Use a foam-type carpet cleaner. Cleaners of this type are available in aerosol cans in liquid form or powder. Read the instructions and follow them exactly. Using a vacuum cleaner with the appropriate attachment, remove as much dirt from the carpets as possible. Apply the foam following the manufacturer's directions, then rub in overlapping circles. Do not add water. These cleaners work best when the carpet is kept as dry as possible. To clean the seat belts, use a cloth or sponge with mild soap or detergent and warm water. Do not use strong detergents, dye, bleach or abra- sive materials on the seat belts as this may weaken the fabric. While cleaning the belts, inspect them for ex- cessive wear, cuts, fraying or other signs of damage and replace them if necessary. E040E01A-AAT Cleaning the Windows You may use any household window cleaner on the windows. However, when cleaning the in- side of the rear window be careful not to damage the rear window defroster wiring. 44 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE ANY QUESTIONS? E050A01A-AAT If you have any questions about the care of your car, consult your Hyundai dealer. VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS Maintenance Intervals .................................................. 5-2 Scheduled Maintenance .............................................. 5-4 Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions .......... 5-6 Explanation of Scheduled Maintenance Items ........... 5-7 55 5 VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS MAINTENANCE INTERVALS F010A01A-AAT Service Requirements F010C01A-AAT Specified Scheduled Procedures F010D01A-AAT General Checks To ensure that you receive the greatest number of miles of satisfying operation from your Hyundai, certain maintenance procedures must be performed. Although careful design and engi- neering have reduced these to a minimum, those that are required are of the utmost impor- tance. It is your responsibility to have these mainte- nance procedures performed to comply with the terms of the warranties covering your new Hyundai. The Owner's Handbook supplied with your new vehicle provides further information about these warranties. F010B01A-AAT Maintenance Requirements The maintenance required for your Hyundai can be divided into three main areas: o Specified scheduled procedures o General checks o Do-it-yourself maintenance These are the procedures such as inspections, adjustments and replacements that are listed in the maintenance charts starting on page 5-4. These procedures must be performed at the intervals shown in the maintenance schedule to assure that your warranty remains in effect. Although it is strongly recommended that they be performed by the factory-trained or distribu- tor-trained technicians at your Hyundai dealer, these procedures may be performed at any qualified service facility. It is suggested that genuine Hyundai service parts be used for any required repairs or re- placements. Other parts of equivalent quality such as engine oil, engine coolant, manual or auto transaxle oil, brake fluid and so on which are not supplied by Hyundai Motor Company or its distributor may be used without affecting your warranty coverage but you should always be sure these are equivalent to the quality of the original Hyundai parts. Your Owner's Handbook provides further information about your warranty coverage. These are the regular checks you should per- form when you drive your Hyundai or you fill the fuel tank. A list of these items will be found on page 6-3. F010E01A-AAT Do-It-Yourself Maintenance If you are mechanically inclined, own a few tools that are required and want to take the time to do so, you can inspect and service a number of items. For more information about doing it your- self, see Section 6. SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS F010F01A-AAT A Few Tips o Whenever you have your Hyundai serviced, keep copies of the service records in your glove box. This will help ensure that you can document that the required procedures have been performed to keep your warranties in effect. This is especially important when ser- vice is not performed by an authorized Hyundai dealer. o If you choose to do your own maintenance and repairs, you may find it helpful to have an official Hyundai Shop Manual. A copy of this publication may be purchased at your Hyundai dealer's parts department. F020A02A-AAT o Inspection should be performed any time a malfunction is experienced or suspected. o Receipts for all emission control system ser- vices should be retained to demonstrate com- pliance with conditions of the emissions sys- tem warranty. o After 120 months or 150,000 miles (240,000 km), continue to follow the prescribed main- tenance intervals. o For severe usage maintenance requirements, see page 5-6 of this section. 5 VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE F030A01A-AAT The following maintenance services must be performed to assure good vehicle control and performance. Keep receipts for all vehicle services to protect your warranty. Where both mileage and time are shown, the frequency of service is determined by whichever occurs first.

If the car is being driven in severe condi- tions, more frequent oil and filter changes are required. Connections Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and connec- tions for leakage and damage. Have a trained techincian, replace any damaged or leaking parts immediately. The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should be inspected at those intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. Make sure that a new vapor hose or fuel filler cap is correctly re- placed. F060C01A-AAT o Fuel Filter A clogged filter can limit the speed at which the vehicle may be driven, damage the emission system and cause hard starting. If an excessive amount of foreign matter accumulates in the fuel tank, the filter may require replacement more frequently. After installing a new filter, run the engine for several minutes, and check for leaks at the connections. Fuel filters should be installed by trained techni- cians. F060F01A-AAT o Vacuum, Crankcase Ventilation Hoses Inspect the surface of hoses for evidence of heat and/or mechanical damage. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessive swelling indicate deterioration. Par- ticular attention should be paid to examine those hose surfaces nearest to high heat sources, such as the exhaust manifold. Inspect the hose routing to assure that the hoses do not come in contact with any heat source, sharp edges or moving component which might cause heat damage or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose connections, such as clamps and couplings, to make sure they are secure, and that no leaks are present. Hoses should be replaced immediately if there is any evidence of deterioration or damage. F060H01A-AAT o Air Cleaner Filter A Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is recom- mended when the filter is replaced. F060J01A-AAT o Spark Plugs Make sure to install new spark plugs of the correct heat range.

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. 1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counter- 2. Add oil, then check the level again. Do not clockwise. overfill. 3.

Slide underneath the car and loosen the drain plug by turning it counterclockwise with a wrench of the proper size. Be sure that a drain pan is in position to catch the oil as it drains out, then remove the drain plug. WARNING: Be very careful when draining the engine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you! Oil filter ......... Drain plug F040A02TB 4. When the oil has stopped draining, replace the drain plug using a new gasket and re- tighten by turning it clockwise. The engine oil and filter should be changed at those intervals specified in the maintenance schedule in Section 5. If the car is being driven in severe conditions, more frequent oil and filter changes are required. The procedure for changing the oil and filter is as follows: 1. Park the car on level ground and set the parking brake. Start the engine and let it warm up until the needle on the temperature gauge moves above the lowest mark. Turn the engine off and place the gear selector lever in "P" (automatic) or reverse gear (manual transaxle). 2. Open the hood and remove the engine oil filler cap. Oil pan drain plug tightening torque: 3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m 6. 5. Remove the oil filter by turning it counter- clockwise with a oil filter wrench of the proper size. A certain amount of oil will come out when you remove the filter. So be sure to have your drain pan in place underneath it. Install a new oil filter in accordance with the instructions on the carton or on the filter itself. Do not over-tighten (Tightening torque : 1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m). Be sure that the mounting surface on the engine is clean and that the old gasket is removed completely. Lubricate the new gas- ket on the filter before installation with clean engine oil. DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 7. Refill the crankcase with the recommended engine oil. Refer to the specification in chap- ter 9 for engine oil capacity. 8. Start the engine and check to be sure no oil is leaking from the drain plug or oil filter. 9. Shut off the engine and recheck the oil level. NOTE: Always dispose of used engine oil in an environmentally acceptable manner. It is sug- gested that it be placed in a sealed container and taken to a service station for reclama- tion. Do not pour the oil on the ground or put it in with the household trash. PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Used engine oil may cause irritation or can- cer of the skin if left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods of time. Used engine oil contains chemicals that have caused can- cer in laboratory animals. Always protect your skin by washing your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water as soon as pos- sible after handling used oil. 6 DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 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. Ambient temperature °F (°C) 5 (-15) -13 (-25) -31 (-35) -49 (-45) Engine coolant concentration Antifreeze solution 35% 40% 50% 60% Water 65% 60% 50% 40% HLC5005 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. 6 DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 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. G060C02A-D 6 DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 10 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. FILLING THE WASHER RESERVOIR CHECKING THE TRANSAXLE OIL (MANUAL) G090A01A-AAT G100A03A-AAT DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 11 WARNING: It is always better to check the transaxle oil level when the engine is cool or cold. If the engine is hot, you should exercise great caution to avoid burning yourself on hot engine or exhaust parts. HLC5007 A good quality washer fluid should be used to fill the washer reservoir. The fluid level should be checked more frequently during inclement weath- er or whenever the washer system is in more frequent use. The capacity of the washer reservoir is 3.2 U.S. quarts (3.0 Liters). CAUTION: o Radiator anti-freeze (engine coolant) should not be used in the washer system because it will damage the car's finish. o The washer should not be operated if the washer reservoir is empty. This can dam- age the washer fluid pump. Filler plug Drain plug HXGS506 Transaxle lubricant in the manual transaxle should be checked at those intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5. Recommended Oil Use only HYUNDAI GENUINE PARTS MTF 75W/85 (API GL-4) or equivalent in the manual transaxle.

Using a wrench of the correct size, loosen the oil filler plug by turning it counterclock- wise and remove it with your fingers. 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. DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 13 Fluid level should be within "HOT" range 3. G110D04A If the transaxle fluid level is low, use a funnel to add transaxle fluid through the dipstick tube until the level reaches the "HOT" range. Do not overfill. WARNING: The cooling fan is controlled by the engine coolant temperature and may sometimes op- erate 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. 6 DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE 14 CHECKING THE BRAKES G120A01A-AAT CAUTION: Because brakes are essential to the safe operation of the car, it is suggested that they be checked and inspected by your Hyundai dealer. The brakes should be checked and inspected for wear at those intervals speci- fied in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5. G120B01A-AAT Checking the Brake Fluid Level WARNING: Use caution when handling brake fluid. It can damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. It will also damage your vehicle's paint if spilled on it and not removed immediately. G120C02A-AAT Recommended Brake Fluid G120E02A-AAT Adding Brake Fluid WARNING: Handle brake fluid carefully. It can damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification fluid from a sealed container. Do not allow the fluid can or reservoir to remain open any longer than required. This will avoid entry of dirt and moisture which can damage the brake sys- tem and cause improper operation. To add brake fluid, first wipe away any dirt then unscrew the fluid reservoir cap. Slowly pour the recommended fluid into the reservoir. Do not overfill. Carefully replace the cap on the reser- voir and tighten. Use only hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications in your braking system.
