11CHECKING AND CHANGING THE ENGINE COOLANT
!
G050A01A-AAT
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the engine coolantis under pressure and may erupt through the opening if the cap is removed. You could be seriouslyburned if you do not observe this precaution. Do not remove the radiator cap until the radiator iscool to touch.
!
5. Remove the oil filter by turning it counterclockwise with a oil filter wrench of the proper size. A cer- tain amount of oil will come out when you remove the filter. So besure to have your drain pan in place underneath it.
6. Install a new oil filter in accordance with the instructions on the cartonor on the filter itself. Do not over- tighten (Tightening torque: Gaso-
line- 1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m, Diesel - 2.3 ~ 2.5 kgf.m) . Be sure that the
mounting surface on the engine is clean and that the old gasket is removed completely. Lubricate the new gasket on the filter with cleanengine oil before installation.
7. Remove the engine oil level dip- stick.
8. Refill the crankcase with the rec- ommended engine oil slowly. Referto the specification in chapter 9 for engine oil capacity.
! CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oil by using a funnel. Do not overfill not to damage the engine. 9. Start the engine and check to be
sure no oil is leaking from thedrain plug or oil filter.
10.Shut off the engine and recheck
the oil level.
NOTE: Always dispose of used engine oil
in an environmentally acceptable manner. It is suggested that it be placed in a sealed container andtaken to a service station for recla- mation. Do not pour the oil on the ground or put it into the house-hold trash.
WARNING:
Used motor oil may cause irrita-
tion or cancer of the skin if left incontact with the skin for prolongedperiods of time. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water as soon as possible afterhandling used oil.

To Check the Coolant Level
The coolant level can be seen on the
side of the plastic coolant reservoir. The level of the coolant should be between the "LOW" and "FULL" lines on the reservoir when the engine iscool. If the level is below the "LOW" mark, add engine coolant to bring it up between "LOW" and "FULL". If thelevel is low, inspect for coolant leaks and recheck the fluid level frequently. If the level drops again, visit yourHyundai dealer for an inspection and diagnosis of the reason. G050D02HP-GAT To Change the Engine Coolant The engine coolant should be changed at those intervals specified in the ve- hicle maintenance schedule in Sec- tion 5.
CAUTION:
Engine coolant can damage thefinish of your car. If you spill en-gine coolant on the car, wash it off thoroughly with clean water.
1. Park the car on level ground, set the parking brake and remove the radiator cap when cool.
G050B01A-DAT Recommended Engine Coolant Use a high quality ethylene-glycol coolant in a 50/50 mix with water. Theengine coolant should be compatible with aluminum engine parts. Addi- tional corrosion inhibitors or additivesshould not be used. The cooling sys- tem must be maintained with the cor- rect concentration and type of enginecoolant to prevent freezing and corro- sion. Never allow the concentration of antifreeze to exceed the 60% level orgo below the 35% level, otherwise damage to the cooling system may result. For proper concentration whenadding or replacing the engine cool- ant, refer to the following table.

NOTE: Gasoline Engine Only Before adding the coolant to the radiator, unscrew the bolts on theengine cover, remove the engine cover and unscrew the flange bolt for fitting water outlet to escapethe excess pressure. And if the coolant overflows from the hole while adding the coolant, screwthe bolt and continue to add the coolant.
G050D01HP 2. Turn the radiator cap counterclock-
wise without pressing down on it, until it stops. This relieves any pres- sure remaining in the cooling sys- tem. And remove the radiator cap by pushing down and turning coun-terclockwise.
3. Be sure your drain receptacle is in place. Open the drain cock on theradiator. Allow all the engine cool- ant to drain from the cooling sys- tem, then securely close the draincock. HHP5006
4. Check Section 9 for the capacity of
the cooling system in your car.Then, following the manufacturer’s directions on the engine coolant container, add the appropriatequantity of coolant to the radiator.
5. Fill the radiator with clean deminer-
alized or distilled water. Continueto add clean demineralized or dis- tilled water in small quantities until the fluid level stays up in the radia-tor neck.

(Gasoline Engine Only)
Your engine was originally equipped
with platinum-tipped spark plugs.
Platinum-tipped spark plugs will last
longer than conventional type spark plugs and can be identified by blue lines on the ceramic shell.
NOTE: Do not clean or regap platinum-
tipped spark plugs.
Unleaded: 1.0 ~ 1.1mm Leaded : 0.7 ~ 0.8mm

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 sparkplugs can result in loss of perfor- mance, radio interference or engine damage. Recommended Spark Plugs:Remark Unleaded* Leaded
*: Platinum coated
6. Start the engine, top off the radia- tor with water and then add coolant to the reservoir until the level is between "LOW" and "FULL".
7. Replace the radiator and reservoir caps and check to be sure thedrain cocks are fully closed and not leaking.
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled byengine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Useextreme caution when working near the blades of the coolant fan so that you are not injured by a rotat-ing fan blade. As the engine cool- ant temperature decreases, the fan will automatically shut off. This isa normal condition. G060A01L

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 on the insulated connector, the spark plug or the engine itself. G070A03Y-AAT The replacement of air cleaner filter is
performed 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 recommended. HHP5013
!
CAUTION:
o Operating your vehicle without a proper air cleaner filter in place can result in excessive engine wear.
o When removing the air cleaner filter, be careful that dust or dirtdoes not enter the air intake. These may result in damage to the air cleaner filter.

CHECKING THE TRANSMIS- SION OIL (MANUAL)FILLING THE WASHER RES- ERVOIR
CAUTION:
o Radiator antifreeze (engine cool- ant) should not be used in the washer system because it will damage the car's finish.
o The washer should not be oper- ated if the washer reservoir isempty. This can damage the washer fluid pump.
! G100A04HP-GAT Transmission lubricant in the manual transmission should be checked at those intervals specified in the ve-hicle maintenance schedule in Sec- tion 5.
Recommended Oil Use only HYUNDAI GENUINE PARTS MTF 75W/85 (API GL-4) in the manual transmission. Drain plug
G090A02HP-AAT The washer fluid reservoir supplies fluid to the windshield washer sys- tem. A good quality washer fluid should be used to fill the washer reservoir. The fluid level should be checked morefrequently during inclement weather or whenever the washer system is in more frequent use. The capacity of the washer reservoir is 4.5 liters. HHP5017
