4. When the engine coolant has drained com- pletely, close the drain tap ensuring that this is not over tightened.
5. Prepare a suitable quantity of new engine coolant (refer to section 9) and pour this intothe radiator. 6. Start the engine with the radiator cap still
removed and continue to add coolant as thelevel decreases as air is expelled from thesystem. When the level remains constant,replace the radiator cap and replenish thecoolant reservoir.
7. When the engine is hot, check to ensure that no coolant leaks are present.
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 cooling 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. G060A02L-AAT SPARK PLUGS (For Petrol Engine)

the vehicle should be placed on level ground and the level plug removed with a suitablespanner.
2. If the level is correct, lubricant should begin to drip from the plug orifice. In this case theplug should be replaced. If the level is incorrect, lubricant should be added until it begins to drip from the plugorifice at which time the plug should bereplaced.
To Check the Transmission Oil Level
SSA6100B
Park the car on level ground with the engine off.
1. Using a wrench of the correct size, loosen the oil filler bolt turning it counterclockwise and remove it with your fingers.
2. Use your finger to feel inside the hole. The oil level should be at its bottom edge. If it isnot, check for leaks before adding oil. Torefill the transmission or bring the oil level

WINDSCREEN WASHER RESERVOIR
REPLENISHMENT The level of windscreen washer fluid available
should be checked on a daily basis. The level of fluid will be visible through the side of thereservoir. When the fluid is to be replenished,only a proprietary screen wash additive shouldbe used and in the concentration recommendedby the manufacturer. The windscreen washerreservoir has a total capacity of 4.5 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 thepaintwork. If spillage occurs, flush the af-fected area immediately with water. Do notoperate the windscreen washer for more than 15 seconds continuously or when thereservoir is empty since damage to thewasher pump will result.

REMOVAL OF WATER FROM THE FUEL FILTER (FOR DIESEL ENGINE)
G300A01HP If the fuel filter warning lamp illuminates during
driving, it indicates that water has accumulated in the fuel filter. If this occurs, remove the wateras described below.
1. Loosen the drain plug at the bottom of the fuel filter.
2. Tighten the drain plug when water no longer comes out.
3. 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 isstarted.If in doubt, consult your nearest authorizedHYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING: Be sure to carefully wipe away any water
drained out in this manner, because the fuel mixed in the water might be ignited andresult in a fire.
1. Pump the hand prime pump with your hand
for one minute(about 20~30 times).
2. Turn the ignition key to the "START" posi- tion and release it 2~3 times shortly until theengine starts.

Purge Control Solenoid Valve
The purge control solenoid valve is controlled
by the ECU; when the engine coolant tempera- ture is low, and during idling, it closes, so thatevaporated fuel is not taken into the surge tank.After engine warm-up, during ordinary driving, itopens to introduce evaporated fuel to the surgetank. misfire and result in excessive loading of thecatalytic converter.
o Avoid idling the engine for periods longer than 10 minutes.
o Your Hyundai should not be either pushed or pulled to get it started. This can cause thecatalytic converter to overload.
o Take care not to stop your Hyundai over any combustible material such as grass, paper,leaves or rags.
o Do not touch the catalytic converter or any other part of the exhaust system while theengine is running.
o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is your best source of assistance.

3. EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM
EGR system ; For a Petrol Engine This system helps control oxides of nitrogen byrecirculating a portion of the exhaust gases intothe intake manifold, thereby reducing cylindercombustion temperatures. YH040A2-E
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
; For a Petrol Engine The catalytic converter is part of the exhaust emission control system. Its purpose is to re-move certain engine emission products fromthe engine's exhaust. It looks something like amuffler and is located underneath the car in theexhaust system. YH040B1-E
About the Catalytic Converter ; For a Petrol Engine
Exhaust gases passing through the catalytic converter cause it to operate at very high tem-peratures. As a result, the introduction of largeamounts of unburned petrol may cause it tooverheat and create a fire hazard. This can beavoided by observing the following:
o Use only unleaded fuel.
o Maintain your engine in good condition. Ex- tremely high converter temperatures can re- sult from improper operation of the electri-cal, ignition or M.P.I. system.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or is hard to start, take your car to your Hyundaidealer as soon as possible and have thedifficulty corrected.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level. If you run out of petrol, it could cause the engine to H020D01S-GAT CATALYTIC CONVERTER ; For a Diesel Engine All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with oxida- tion type catalytic converter to reduce the car-bon monoxide, hydrocarbons and particulatecontained in the exhaust gas. H020C01HP-EAT EGR SYSTEM ; For a Diesel Engine This system helps control oxides of nitrogen by recirculating a part of the exhaust gas into theengine, there by reducing cylinder combustiontemperature. The EGR system helps reduce Nox (Oxides of Nitrogen) emission gasses.
