WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
3-8 D080A02A-GAT IF YOUR CAR MUST BE TOWED CAUTION: Your car can be damaged if towed incorrect-ly! If your car has to be towed, it should be done by your Hyundai dealer or a commercial tow truckservice. This will help assure that your car is notdamaged in towing. Also, professionals are gen-erally aware of local laws governing towing. Inany case, rather than risk damage to your car, itis suggested that you show this information to thetow truck operator. Be sure that a safety chainsystem is used and that all local laws are ob-served.
D080B01A-AAT Towing a Car with a Manual Transaxle
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 inneutral. Also, be sure that the ignition key is inthe "ACC" position. This is necessary toprevent damage to the steering lock mecha-nism, which is not designed to hold the frontwheels straight while the car is being towed.
o If any of the loaded wheels or suspension components are damaged, a towing dollymust be used.

D060J01FC-GAT After Changing Wheels If you have a tire gauge, remove the valve cap and check the air pressure. If the pressure islower than recommended, drive slowly to thenearest service station and inflate to the correctpressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is correct.Always reinstall the valve cap after checking oradjusting tire pressure. If the cap is not replaced,air may leak from the tire. If you lose a valve cap,buy another and install it as soon as possible.After you have changed wheels, always securethe flat tire in its place in the luggage compart-ment and return the jack and tools to their properstorage locations.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS 5-5
F060A01A-AAT
EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAIN- TENANCE ITEMS
F060M01A-AAT
o Engine Oil and Filter The engine oil and filter should be changed at
the intervals specified in the maintenance sched- ule. If the car is being driven in severe condi-tions, more frequent oil and filter changes arerequired.
F060B02A-AAT
o Drive Belts Inspect all drive belts for evidence of cuts,
cracks, excessive wear or oil saturation andreplace if necessary. Drive belts should bechecked periodically for proper tension andadjusted as necessary.
F060C01A-AAT
o Fuel Filter
A clogged filter can limit the speed at which the
vehicle may be driven, damage the emissionsystem and cause hard starting. If an exces-sive amount of foreign matter accumulates inthe fuel tank, the filter may require replacementmore frequently.
After installing a new filter, run the engine for
several minutes, and check for leaks at theconnections. Fuel filters should be installed bytrained technicians. F060D01A-AAT
o Fuel Lines, Fuel Hoses and Connec-
tions
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and connec-
tions for leakage and damage. Have a trainedtechnician replace any damaged or leaking partsimmediately.
F060E01A-AAT
o Timing Belt Inspect all parts related to the timing belt for
damage and deformation. Replace any dam-aged parts immediately.
F060G01A-AAT
o Vapor Hose and Fuel Filler cap The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should be
inspected at those intervals specified in themaintenance schedule. Make sure that a newvapor hose or fuel filler cap is correctly re-placed.
F060F01A-AAT
o Vacuum, Crankcase
Ventilation Hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evidence of
heat and/or mechanical damage. Hard and brit-tle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, andexcessive swelling indicate deterioration. Par-ticular attention should be paid to examiningthose hose surfaces nearest to high heat sourc-es, such as the exhaust manifold. Inspect the hose routing to assure that the
hoses do not come in contact with any heatsource, sharp edges or moving componentwhich might cause heat damage or mechanicalwear. Inspect all hose connections, such asclamps and couplings, to make sure they aresecure, and that no leaks are present. Hosesshould be replaced immediately if there is anyevidence 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.
F070B01A-GAT
o Cooling System
Check the cooling system part, such as radia-
tor, coolant reservoir, hoses and connectionsfor leakage and damage. Replace any dam-aged parts. F060N02E-GAT
o Valve Clearance Inspect excessive valve noise and/or engine
vibration and adjust if necessary. A qualifiedtechnician should perform the operation.

6-8 5. Replace the radiator and reservoir caps and
check to be sure the drain cocks are fully closed and not leaking.
WARNING: The cooling fan is controlled by engine cool- ant temperature and may sometimes oper-ate even when the engine is not running.Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the coolant fan so that you are notinjured by a rotating fan blade. As the en-gine coolant temperature decreases, the fanwill automatically shut off. This is a normalcondition. G060A02Y-GAT
SPARK PLUGS
YN60100A
V6
Your engine was originally equipped with plati- num-tipped spark plugs. (For 2.7L only). Platinum-tipped spark plugs will last longer than conventional type spark plugs and can be iden-tified by blue lines on the ceramic shell. NOTE: Do not clean or regap platinum-tipped spark plugs.
G060B01GK-GAT
Replacing the Spark Plugs The spark plugs should be changed at the
intervals specified in the vehicle maintenanceschedule 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, lossof fuel economy, poor acceleration, etc. Whenspark plugs are replaced, always use sparkplugs recommended by Hyundai. The use ofother 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:

To Change the Engine Coolant
The engine coolant should be changed at those
intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.
NOTE: 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 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. Allowall the engine coolant to drain from thecooling system, then securely close the draincock.
3. Check Section 9 for the capacity of the cooling system in your car. Then, followingthe manufacturer's directions on the enginecoolant container, add the appropriate quan-tity of engine coolant to the radiator.
4. Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise with- out pressing down on it, until it stops. Thisrelieves any pressure remaining in the cool-ing system. And remove the radiator cap bypushing down and turning counterclockwise. Now fill the radiator with clean demineral- ized or distilled water. Continue to add cleandemineralized or distilled water in small quan-tities until the fluid level stays up in theradiator neck. DOHC1.0~1.1 mm (0.039 ~ 0.043 in.)

5 speed : 2.15L (2.27 U.S. quarts) 6 speed : 2.2L (2.32 U.S. quarts) 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. G100B02A-AAT
To Check the Manual Transaxle Fluid Level
SSA6100B
Park the car on level ground with the engine off.
1. 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 bottomedge. If it is not, check for leaks beforeadding oil. To refill the transaxle or bring theoil level up,add oil slowly until it reaches theproper level. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the plug and washer, screw it in with your fingers and then tighten securelywith the wrench.

CHECKING THE TRANSAXLE FLUID (AUTOMATIC)
Transaxle fluid in the automatic transaxle should
be checked at those intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.
NOTE: Basically automatic transaxle fluid is red
color. As driving distance increases, the fluid color turns darkish red gradually. It isnormal condition and you should not usefluid color as a criterion for replacing thetransaxle fluid.
You must replace the automatic transaxle
fluid in accordance with intervals specifiedin the vehicle maintenances schedule insection 5. G110B03A-AAT
Recommended Fluid
Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is specially
designed to operate with DIAMOND ATF SP-III or SK ATF SP-III. Damage caused by anonspecified fluid is not covered by your newvehicle limited warranty.
