SG070A1-E AIR CLEANER ELEMENT REPLACE- MENT
Prior to installing a sparking plug, the gap be- tween the centre and outer electrodes must be checked and adjusted as necessary. Adjustment is facilitated by bending the outer electrode towards or away from the centre elec- trode. Under no circumstances should attempts be made to adjust the position of the centre electrode.
4. Insert the sparking plug into the cylinder head and screw by the wrench and until the plug contacts the seating area. Tighten the plug with the socket by a further 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn only. 5. Replace the plug lead ensuring that the cap is
pushed firmly into place. Confirm that the capis correctly seated by lightly pulling upon it.
Recommended Spark Plugs To replace the air cleaner element, remove theair intake ducting from the air flow sensor body and unfasten the spring clips holding the air flow sensor top to the body. Lift out the air flow sensor followed by the air cleaner element. Replace- ment of the element is the reverse of the above. CAUTION: The air flow sensor is a precision engineered electronic measuring device and therefore care should be exercised that the air flow sensor is not damaged during replacement of the element. To ensure maximum filtration performance and continued engine performance, only genuine Hyundai replacements should be used.
NOTE:When replacing the spark plug, always use the genuine parts recommended.

SG080A2-E WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADES
SG090A1-EWINDSCREEN WASHER RESERVOIR REPLENISHMENT
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. CAUTION:
o Do not operate the wipers on dry glass since rapid wear and damage to thewindscreen glass may result.
o Keep the blade rubber out of contact with petroleum products such as engine oil, petrol etc. The level of windscreen washer fluid availableshould be checked on a daily basis. The level of fluid will be visible through the side of the reser- voir. When the fluid is to be replenished, only a proprietary screen wash additive should be used and in the concentration recommended by the manufacturer. The windscreen washer reservoir has a total capacity of 3 litres. CAUTION: Engine coolant anti freeze must not be used in the windscreen washer system since dam- age to the paintwork may result. Undiluted windscreen washer additive must not be allowed to come into contact with the paintwork. If spillage occurs, flush the af- fected area immediately with water.

Use only the approved transmission lubricant. The recommended lubricants are complete in themselves and the use of additives is neither required nor recommended. The use of additives may invalidate the vehicle warranty. Transmission Lubricant Level Checking
Ensure that the vehicle is parked on level ground with the parking brake firmly applied and the engine cool. Remove the level plug from the transmission when lubricant should begin to drip from the level hole. If the level is low and no lubricant is seen to drip, add the required quantity of lubricant and replace the plug.
SG110A1-E AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID The automatic transmission fluid level should be checked and changed at those intervals pre- scribed in the maintenance schedule. It is of paramount importance that only the specified fluid is used when replenishing or changing the fluid. The use of other fluids may irreparably damage the transmission and invalidate the manufacturers warranty. In addition the ingress of dirt or lint may prevent correct functioning of the transmission and care must be exercised to prevent the ingress of such matter. CAUTION: The transmission fluid level must be checked with the engine running and at normal oper- ating temperature and therefore care must be exercised to prevent injury occurring through contact with rotating or hot parts of the en- gine.

SG120C2-E Brake Fluid Recommendations Only brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specifications or higher may be used in the braking system. Care should be taken to ob- serve the instructions and precautions printed upon the container. SG120D1-E Brake Fluid LevelThe fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir should be checked periodically. The level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. If the level is at or below the "MIN" mark, fluid should be added having care- fully cleaned the area surrounding the reservoir cap to ensure that dirt is not allowed to enter the system. It should be borne in mind that the brake fluid level will decrease slightly as the friction linings of the pads and shoes become worn and that this is a normal condition.
higher mark. If additional fluid is required, thisshould be poured into the transmission through the dipstick tube with the aid of a suitable funnel. 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 automati- cally shut off. This is a normal condition.
CAUTION:The automatic transmission unit is a preci- sion engineered assembly and correct op- eration is dependant upon the exclusion of dirt and lint from the unit. Therefore, it is imperative that only lint free cloth (eg nylon) is used for wiping the dipstick and that the area around the dipstick is thoroughly clean prior to level checking or adding fluid.
