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)

Replacing the Spark Plugs
The spark plugs should be changed at the
intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule 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:
o When replacing the spark plug, Genuine Hyundai Replacement Parts are recom-mended.
Recommended Spark Plugs: 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 ordetergent and water.
If the wipers continue to streak or smear the
glass, replace them with genuine Hyundai re-placement parts or their equivalent.
NOTE:
o Do not operate the wipers on dry glass. This can result in more rapid wear of thewiper blades and may scratch the glass.
o Keep the blade rubber out of contact with petroleum products such as engineoil, petrol, etc.
o It is recommended that spark plugs be
changed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
WARNING: It is recommended that the engine be cool
or cold when changing the spark plugs. If the engine is hot, you could burn yourselfon the insulated connector, the spark plugor the engine itself.
