Coolant Level
The engine coolant level may be observed
through the side of the plastic coolant reservoir(expansion tank) when the engine is cold. If thelevel is below the "LOW" mark, add coolant ofthe correct concentration until the level is be-tween the "LOW" and "FULL" marks. If the levelfalls below the "LOW" mark on a regular basisdespite being topped up, consult a Hyundaidealer. HPG050D1-E
To Change the Coolant
The coolant should be changed at those inter-
vals specified in the vehicle maintenance sched-ule in Section 5.
NOTE: Care should be taken to ensure that coolant
is not allowed to spill onto the paintwork since the finish may become damaged. Ifcoolant spillage occurs, the affected areashould be rinsed thoroughly with water.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and ensure that the parking brake is firmly applied, and the engine allowed to cool. Do not attempt this operation whilst the engine is hot since burning or scalding mayresult.
2. Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the displaced coolant and position this under theradiator drain tap. NOTE: Petrol Engine Only Before adding the coolant to the radiator,
unscrew the flange bolt for fitting water outlet to escape the excess pressure. And ifthe coolant overflows from the hole whileadding the coolant, screw the bolt and con-tinue to add the coolant.
3. With the heater temperature control set to the "HOT" position, remove the radiator cap and open the radiator drain tap.

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.

1. CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM ; For a Petrol Engine
The positive crankcase ventilation system is
employed to prevent air pollution caused by blow-by gases being emitted from the crank-case.
This system supplies fresh air to the crankcase
through the air cleaner. Inside the crankcase,the fresh air mixes with blow-by gases, thenpasses through the PCV valve into the intakesystem.
ZH010C1-E
2. EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CON-
TROL SYSTEM ; For a Petrol Engine
The Evaporative Emission Control System is designed to prevent fuel vapors from escapinginto the atmosphere.
Canister While the engine is inoperative, fuel vaporsgenerated inside the fuel tank are absorbed andstored in the canister. When the engine isrunning, the fuel vapors absorbed in the canis-ter are drawn into the induction system throughthe purge control solenoid valve.

EXHAUST GAS WARNING
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a
potentially toxic gas that is colorless and odor-less. Avoid breathing exhaust gases.
o Do not run the engine in confined areas, such as garages, any longer than neces- sary to move the car in or out.
o Do not drive with the trunk open. An open trunk may draw exhaust gases into the pas-senger compartment. If you must drive withthe trunk open, drive only with all the win-dows wide open and the blower motor onhigh speed.
o If it is necessary to sit in a parked car with the engine running for more than a shortperiod, adjust your heating system to forceoutside air into the car by placing the airselector button of the heater in the FRESHAIR position and mode control in the VENTposition. Set the fan at high speed and thecontrols in any position desired.
Inspect the exhaust system Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of
