The engine coolant should be changed at those intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.
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.
HGK4006
The coolant level can be seen on the side of the
plastic coolant reservoir. The level of the cool-
ant should be between the "L" and "F" lines on
the reservoir when the engine is cold. 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
diagnosis of the reason.
1. Park the car on level ground, set the park- ing 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.
DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not run- ning. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the coolant fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant temperature de- creases, the fan will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.
G050D03E 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 counterclock- wise. Now fill the radiator with clean demineralized or distilled water.

If any of your car’s lights or other electrical
accessories stop working, a blown fuse could
be the reason. If the fuse has burned out, you
will see that the metal strip inside the fuse has
burned through. If you suspect a blown fuse,
follow this procedure:
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 burned out.

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 dealer.
If you do not have a spare fuse, you may be
able to borrow a fuse of the same or lower

PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related acces- sories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Batteries also contain other chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer. Wash hands after handling.
o Charge batteries only in a well ventilated
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smoking in
area.
the area.
o Keep children away from the area.
WARNING: Always read the following in- structions carefully when han- dling 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, cloth- ing or paint finish.
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 water with a sponge or cloth until medical attention is received.
CHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING FANS G220A01A-AAT
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not run- ning. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the coolant fan, so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant temperature de- creases the fan will automatically 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 coolant fan should come on automatically whenever the air conditioning is in operation.
WARNING: 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.

POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
G230A03A-AAT
HGK5011
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 condi- tions (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 characteristic in extremely cold condi- tions.
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 regular intervals. The power steering hoses should be replaced if there is severe surface cracking, scuffing or worn spots. Deterioration of the hose could cause premature failure.

7 EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
H010A02GK-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 ac- cordance with the maintenance schedule in this manual.
Caution for the Inspection and Maintenance Test (Vehicle with Electronic Stability Pro- gram)
o To prevent the vehicle from misfiring during dynamometer testing, discon- nect the ABS connector located inside of the wheel guard (driver side).
o For more information, see shop manual
(BR Group, Wheel Speed Sensor).
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 fresh filtered air to the crankcase through the air intake hose. Inside the crankcase, the fresh air mixes with blow-by gases, which then pass through the PCV valve and 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, pre- venting 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 exhaust emissions while maintaining good vehicle per- formance.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is
your best source of assistance.
o Do not stop your Hyundai over any com- bustible material such as grass, paper, leaves or rags. These materials might contact the hot catalytic converter and a fire might result.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
H020A01A-AAT
Catalytic Converter (Federal, California)
Catalytic Converter
(California)
HGK5061
All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with a mono- lith type three-way catalytic converter to re- duce the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas. Exhaust gases passing through the catalytic converter may cause it to operate at a very high temperature. The introduction of large amounts of unburned gasoline into the exhaust 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 cre- ate 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 converter or any other part of the exhaust system.
