The coolant level can be seen on the
side of the plastic coolant reservoir. The level of the coolant should be between the "L" and "F" lines on the reservoir when the engine is warmwith it at idle . If the level is below the "L" mark, add engine coolant to bring it up to "F". If the level is low, inspectfor coolant leaks and recheck the fluid level frequently. If the level drops again, visit your Hyundai dealer for aninspection and diagnosis of the rea- son.

CAUTION:
o Engine coolant can damage the finish of your car. If you spill engine coolant on the car, wash it off thoroughly with clean water.
o The engine in your vehicle has aluminum engine parts and mustbe protected by an ethylene-gly-col base coolant to prevent corro- sion and freezing. And, do not use the hard water. The hard water can cause engine damage from corrosion, overheat-ing or freezing.

G050B01A-AAT
Recommended Engine Coolant
Use a high quality ethylene-glycol coolant in a 50/50 mix with water. The engine coolant should be compatible with aluminum engine parts. Addi-tional corrosion inhibitors or additives should not be used. The cooling sys- tem must be maintained with the cor-rect concentration and type of engine coolant to prevent freezing and corro- sion.
CAUTION:
Never allow the concentration of antifreeze to exceed the 60% level or go below the 35% level, or dam-age to the cooling system may result. For proper concentration when adding or replacing the engine coolant, refer to the following table.

!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.
SPARK PLUGS
G060A01TG-GAT
G060A01L
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.

Fluid level should be within "HOT"
range WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even whenthe engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fanso that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant temperature decreases, thefan will automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.
3. If the transaxle fluid level is low,
use a funnel to add transaxle fluid through the dipstick tube until the level reaches the "HOT" range. Do not overfill.
CHECKING THE BRAKES
G120A01A-AAT G120B01A-AAT
Checking the Brake Fluid Level
! CAUTION:
Because brakes are essential to the safe operation of the car, it is suggested that they be checked and inspected by your Hyundaidealer. The brakes should be checked and inspected for wear at those intervals specified in thevehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.
WARNING:
Use caution when handling brake fluid. It can damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. It will also damage your vehicle's paint ifspilled on it and not removed im- mediately.

CHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING FANS
G220A01A-AAT
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even whenthe engine is not running. Use extreme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan, sothat you are not injured by a rotat- ing fan blade. As the engine cool- ant temperature decreases the fanwill automatically shut off. This is a normal condition.
G220B01NF-GAT
Checking Engine Cooling Fan
The engine cooling fan should come on automatically if the engine coolant temperature is high or whenever the air conditioning is in operation.POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
G230A03A-GAT The power steering fluid level should be checked regularly.To check the power steering fluid level,be sure the ignition is "OFF", then check to make certain that the power steering fluid level is between the"MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir.

o When lifting a plastic-cased bat-
tery, excessive pressure on the case may cause battery acid toleak, resulting in personal injury. Lift with a battery carrier or with your hands on opposite corners.
o Never attempt to charge the bat- tery when the battery cables areconnected.
o The electrical ignition system works with high voltage. Never touch these components with the engine running or the ignition switched on.
