1. Remove the engine cover.
2. Disconnect the air intake hose from
air cleaner cover.
3. Loosen the drain plug at the bottom of the fuel filter.
4. Tighten the drain plug when water no longer comes out.
5. Check to be sure that the warning
lamp illuminates when the ignition key is turned to "ON", and that it goes off when the engine is started. If in doubt, consult your nearestauthorized HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTE: It is recommended that water accu- mulated in the fuel filter should beremoved by an authorized Hyundai dealer. G300B01FC
WARNING:
Be sure to carefully wipe away anywater drained out in this manner, because the fuel mixed in the watermight be ignited and result in a fire.

5. Open the hood.
6. Draw the vertical line (through the center of each headlight beam pat-tern) and the horizontal line (throughthe center of each headlight beam pattern) on the aiming screen. And then, draw the horizontal paral- lel line at 30 mm (1.18 in.) under the horizontal line.
7. Adjust each cut-off line of the low beam to the parallel line with a phillipsscrewdriver - VERTICAL AIMING.
8. Adjust each cut-off line of the low
beam to each vertical line with aphillips screwdriver - HORIZONTAL AIMING. HTB269

Vertical Aiming
G290A01FC-GAT HEADLIGHT AIMING ADJUST- MENT Before performing aiming adjustment, make sure of the following.
1. Keep all tires inflated to the correct pressure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground
and press the front bumper and rear bumper down several times. Place the vehicle at a distance of 3,000 mm (118 in.) from the test wall.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant,engine oil and fuel, and spare tire,jack, and tools).
4. Clean the head lights lens and turn
on the headlight (low beam).

I050A01TB-GAT TIRE CHAINS Tire chains, if necessary should be installed on the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are the proper size andthat they are installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. To minimize tire and chain wear, donot continue to use tire chains when they are no longer needed.
I040A01S-GAT SNOW TIRES If you equip your car with snow tires, they should be the same size and havethe same load capacity as the original tires. Snow tires should be installed on all four wheels; otherwise, poor han-dling may result. Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air pressure than the pressurerecommended for the standard tires on the tire label on, or up to the maxi- mum pressure shown on the tiresidewall whichever is less. Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75 mph) when your car is equipped withsnow tires.
!WARNING:
o When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20 mph).
o Use the SAE "S" class or wire &
plastic chains.
o Don't use the tire chains in 185/ 55R 15 tire to prevent body dam-age.
o If you have noise caused by chaws contacting the body, re-tighten the chain to avoid contactwith the vehicle body.
o Retighten the chains to prevent
from a body damage after driving0.5 ~ 1 km with equipping chains.
CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires are cold. That is, after the car has been parked for at least three hours and hasn't been drivenmore than 1.6 km or one mile since starting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare
tire each time you check the pres-sure of other tires.

I070A01A-AAT TIRE BALANCING A tire that is out of balance may affect handling and tire wear. The tires onyour Hyundai were balanced before the car was delivered but may need balancing again during the years youown the car. Whenever a tire is dismounted for repair, it should be rebalanced beforebeing reinstalled on the car. I080A01A-AAT TIRE TRACTION Tire traction can be reduced if you drive on worn tires, tires that are im-properly inflated or on slippery road surfaces. Tires should be replaced when tread wear indicators appear. Toreduce the possibility of losing control, slow down whenever there is rain, snow or ice on the road. I090A01S-GAT WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES
I060A01FC-GAT TIRE ROTATION
Tires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles). If you notice thattires are wearing unevenly between rotations, have the car checked by a Hyundai dealer so the cause may becorrected. After rotating, adjust the tire pressures and be sure to check wheel nut tight-ness.
HA1409Spare tire WARNING:
o Do not use the temporary spare tire for tire rotation.
o Do not mix bias-ply and radial-
ply tires under any circum- stances. This may cause danger- ous handling characteristics.

I100A01TB-GAT SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS Your Hyundai is delivered with the fol- lowing: Spare tire and wheel Wheel nut wrench, Wrench bar, Spanner, Screw driver, Jack,Towing Hook HTB224
WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tires is dan- gerous! Worn-out tires can causeloss of braking effectiveness, steering control and traction.
When replacing tires, never mixradial and bias-ply tires on the same car. If you replace radial tires with bias-ply tires, they mustbe installed in sets of four.
o Using tires and wheels of other
than the recommended sizes maycause unusual handling charac- teristics that may cause death, serious injury or property dam-age.
!
The original tires on your car have tread wear indicators. The tread wearindicators appear when the tread depth is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). The tire should be replaced when these appear as a solidbar across two or more grooves of the tread. Always replace your tires with those of the recommended size. If youchange wheels, the new wheel's rim width and offset must meet Hyundai specification.
