CHANGING THE AIR CLEANER FIL- TER
G070A01HP
The replacement of air cleaner filter is per- formed in the following manner.
1. Unsnap the clips around the cover.
2. When this is done, the cover can be lifted off, the old filter removed and the new filter put in its place.
Genuine Hyundai replacement parts are rec-ommended. CAUTION:
o Operating your vehicle without a proper air cleaner filter in place can result inexcessive engine wear.
o When removing the air cleaner filter, be careful that dust or dirt does not enter
NOTE:
o When replacing the spark plug, genuine
Hyundai parts are recommended.
o It is recommended that the 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 yourself
G060B01HP-AAT
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, loss of fuel economy, poor acceleration, etc. When spark plugs are replaced, always use spark plugs recommended by Hyundai. The use of other spark plugs can result in loss of performance, radio interference or engine dam- age.
Recommended Spark Plugs: Type

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 the blades of the cooling fan, so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the en- gine coolant temperature decreases, the fan will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition. WARNING (Diesel only): Never work on injection system with enginerunning or within 30 seconds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injec- tors and high pressure pipes are subjected to high pressure even after the engine has been switched off. The fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it contacts with the body. People using pace- makers should not move closer than 30cm to the ECU or wiring harness within the
Park the car on level ground with the parking brake engaged. When the transmission fluid level is checked, the transmission fluid should be at normal operating temperature and the engine idling.
While the engine is idling, apply the brakes and move the gear selector lever from "P" to each of its other positions — "R", "N", "D", "2", "L" — and then return to "N" or "P". With the engine still idling:
1. Open the hood, being careful to keep hands,
long hair and clothing clear of any moving parts.
2. Remove the transmission dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert the dipstick as far as it will go,then remove it again. Now check the fluid level on the dipstick. It should be in the "HOT" range on the dipstick.
3. If the transmission fluid level is low, use a funnel to add transmission fluid through thedipstick tube until the level reaches the "HOT" range. Do not overfill.

Checking the Compressor Drive Belt
G140A01A-AAT AIR CONDITIONING CARE Keeping the Condenser Clean The air conditioning condenser (and engine radiator) should be checked periodically for accumulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc. These can interfere with maximum cooling effi- ciency. When removing such accumulations, brush or hose them away carefully to avoid bending the cooling fans.
G130B02A-AAT To Replace the FluidRecommended brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification should be used. The reservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoid contamination from foreign matter or moisture. NOTE: Do not allow any other liquids to contami- nate the brake fluid. Seal damage will result. WARNING: Use caution when handling brake fluid. Itcan damage your vision if you get it in your eyes. It will also damage your vehicle’s paint if spilled on it and not removed immediately.
When the air conditioning is being used regular-
ly, the compressor drive belt tension should be checked at least once a month. To check the drive belt tension, press down on
the belt halfway between the engine crankshaftand compressor pulleys. Pressing with your finger, you should not be able to deflect this belt

o Charge batteries only in a well ventilated
area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smoking in the area.
o Keep children away from the area. G210B01A-AAT Checking the BatteryKeep the battery clean. Any evidence of corro- sion around the battery posts or terminals should be removed using a solution of household bak- ing soda and warm water. After the battery terminals are dry, cover them with a light coat- ing of grease. G220A01A-AAT CHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING FANS 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 the blades of the cooling fan, so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the en- gine coolant temperature decreases the fan will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.
G210A01A-AAT CHECKING THE BATTERYWARNING: Batteries can be dangerous! When working with batteries, carefully observe the follow- ing precautions to avoid serious injuries. The fluid in the battery contains a strong solu- tion of sulfuric acid, which is poisonous and highly corrosive. Be careful not to spill it on yourself or the car. If you do spill battery fluid on yourself, immediately do the following:
o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush the
affected areas with water for at least 15 minutes and then seek medical assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse out your eyes with water and get medical assistanceas soon as possible. While you are being driven to get medical assistance, continue to rinse your eyes by using a sponge or soft cloth saturated with water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large quantity of water or milk followed by milk ofmagnesia, eat a raw egg or drink vegetable oil. Get medical assistance as soon as possible.
While batteries are being charged (either by a battery charger or by the vehicle’s alternator), they produce explosive gases. Always observe these warnings to prevent injuries from occur- ring:
7-2EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
WARNING:
o Use unleaded fuel only.
o Maintain the engine in good operating condition. Extremely high catalytic con-verter temperatures can result from im- proper operation of the electrical, igni- tion or multiport electronic fuel injection.
o If your engine stalls, pings, knocks, or is hard to start, have your Hyundai dealerinspect and repair the problem as soon as possible.
o Avoid driving with a very low fuel level. Running out of gasoline may cause theengine to misfire and result in damage to the catalytic converter.
o Avoid idling the engine for periods long- er than 10 minutes.
o The vehicle should not be pushed or pulled to get started. This may cause the catalytic converter to overheat and cre- ate a fire hazard.
o Do not touch the catalytic converter or any other part of the exhaust systemwhile the catalytic converter is hot. Shut off the engine, wait for at least one hour before touching the catalytic converter or any other part of the exhaust system.
o Remember that your Hyundai dealer is your best source of assistance.
o Do not stop your Hyundai over any com- bustible material such as grass, paper,leaves or rags. These materials might contact the hot catalytic converter and a fire might result. H020C01HP-GAT EGR SYSTEM ; For a Diesel Engine (If installed) This system helps control oxides of nitrogen by recirculating a part of the exhaust gas into the engine, there by reducing cylinder combustion temperature.The EGR system helps reduce Nox (Oxides of Nitrogen) emission gasses.
H020D01S-GAT CATALYTIC CONVERTER ; For a Diesel Engine (If installed) All Hyundai vehicles are equipped with oxida- tion type catalytic converter to reduce the car- bon monoxide, hydrocarbons and particulates contained in the exhaust gas.
