B740D01Y-AAT Operation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when you first get
in, open the windows for a few minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air conditioning sys- tem, keep all windows closed to keep hot airout.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic, shift to a lower gear. This increases engine speed,which in turn increases the speed of the airconditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air conditioning off to avoid the possibility of the engine overheat-ing.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not used regularly, run theair conditioning once every month for a fewminutes. This will help circulate the lubricantsand keep your system in peak operatingcondition.
B760A05A-GAT AIR CONDITIONER FILTER (FOR EVAPORATOR AND BLOWERUNIT) (If installed) The air conditioner filter is located in front of the evaporator unit behind the glove box.It operates to decrease the amount of pollutantsentering the car.To replace the air conditioner filter, refer to thepage 6-15. CAUTION:
o Replace the filter every 20,000 km (12,000
miles) or once a year.If the car is being driven in severe condi-tions such as dusty, rough roads, morefrequent air conditioner filter inspectionsand changes are required.
o When the air flow rate is decreased, it must be checked at authorized dealer.

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
RC10PYPB4 (CHAMPION) PFR5N-11 (NGK)RC10YC(CHAMPION)BKR5ES (NGK)Remark
Unleaded*
Leaded
*: Platinum coated on the insulated connector, the spark plug or the engine itself.
Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the coolant 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. G060A01HP-GAT SPARK PLUGS (Gasoline Engine Only)

Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
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.
