!WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when theengine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the coolant fan so that youare not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant tem- perature decreases, the fan will au-tomatically shut off. This is a nor- mal condition.

Your engine was originally equipped with Iridium-tipped spark plugs (For unleaded only).Iridium-tipped spark plugs will lastlonger than conventional type sparkplugs and can be identified by blue lines on the ceramic shell. NOTE: Do not clean or regap Iridium- tipped spark plugs. G060B01TG-GAT Replacing the Spark Plugs The spark plugs should be changed at the intervals specified in the ve- hicle maintenance schedule in Sec- tion 5 or whenever engine perfor-mance indicates they should be changed. Symptoms that suggest poor spark plug performance include en-gine misfiring under load, loss of fuel economy, poor acceleration, etc. When spark plugs are replaced, al-ways use spark plugs recommended by Hyundai. The use of other spark plugs can result in loss of perfor-mance, radio interference or engine damage. NOTE:
o It is recommended that spark
plugs should be changed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o When replacing the spark plugs,
always use the genuine parts rec- ommended.

pedal clearance. With the engine run- ning, have your helper press down on the brake pedal several times and thenhold it down with a force of about 490N (50 kg, 110 lbs). The brake pedal clearance is the distance from the topsurface of the brake pedal to the as- phalt sheeting under the floor mat. If the brake pedal clearance is not withinthe limits specified in the illustration, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if nec-essary.
With the engine off, press down on the
brake pedal several times to reduce the vacuum in the brake booster.
Then, using your hand, press down
slowly on the brake pedal until you feel a change in resistance. This isthe brake pedal free-play. The free- play should be within the limits speci- fied in the illustration. If it is not, haveit inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if necessary. G160A01TG
