REPLACING THE SPARK PLUGS
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine coolant temperature andmay sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use ex- treme caution when working nearthe blades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant tem-perature decreases, the fan will auto- matically shut off. This is a normal condition.

The spark plugs should be changed at the intervals specified in the vehicle maintenances schedule in Section 5 or whenever engine performance indicatesthey should be changed. Symptoms that suggest poor spark plug perfor- mance include engine misfiring underload, loss of fuel economy, poor accel- eration, etc. When spark plugs are re- placed, always use spark plugs recom-mended by Hyundai. The use of other spark plugs can result in loss of perfor- mance, radio interference or enginedamage. NOTE: When replacing the spark plugs, genuine Hyundai replacement parts are recommended. Recommended Spark Plugs:
Unleaded: 1.0 ~ 1.1 mm (0.039 ~ 0.043 in.) Leaded: 0.7 ~ 0.8 mm(0.028 ~ 0.032 in.)

!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 in- sulated connector, the spark plug or the engine itself. G060C03A
6. To install the new spark plug, guide
the socket down over the sparkplug, being careful not to damage the ceramic insulator.
NOTE: Spark plugs should be tightened firmly. Over-tightening can damagethe threads in the aluminum cylin- der head. Also, leaving them too loose can cause the spark plug toget very hot and possibly result in damage to the engine.
7. Replace the cable by pushing the insulated connector directly down onto the electrode. Check to be sure it has snapped into place and can'tfall off.

G060C01S-GAT Changing the Spark Plugs You will find it easier to change spark plugs if the engine is cold. Alwayschange one spark plug at a time. This helps avoid getting the wires mixed up.
1. Remove the center cover on the en-
gine rocker cover (DOHC engine only.)
2. Using a clean cloth, remove any dirt
that has accumulated around the base of the spark plug so it cannot fall into the cylinder when the spark plug is removed.
3. To remove the spark plug cable, pull straight up on the insulated connec-tor, not the cable. Pulling on thecable may damage the carbon core conductor. G060C01A
4. When preparing to remove the oldspark plug, guide the socket downover the spark plug, being careful not to damage the ceramic insula-tor.
5. To remove the old spark plug, turn
the wrench handle in a counter-clockwise direction.

You need a helper to check the brake 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 490 N (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 notwithin the limits specified in the illustra- tion, have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if nec-essary. HTB186

3 ~ 8 mm (0.12 ~ 0.31 in.)
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 is thebrake pedal freeplay. The freeplay should be within the limits specified in the illustration. If it is not,have it inspected by your Hyundai dealer and adjusted or repaired if nec- essary. Drive belts should be checked periodi- cally for proper tension and adjusted if necessary. At the same time, beltsshould be examined for cracks, wear, fraying or other evidence of deteriora- tion and replaced if necessary.Belt routing should also be checked to be sure there is no interference be- tween the belts and other parts of theengine. After a belt is replaced, the new belt should be adjusted again after two or three weeks to eliminateslack resulting from initial stretching after use.

61COMBINATION TURN SIGNAL, HEADLIGHT AND HIGH-BEAMSWITCH
B340A01A-AAT Turn Signal Operation Pulling down on the lever causes the turn signals on the left side of the car toblink. Pushing upwards on the lever causes the turn signals on the right side of the car to blink. As the turn is com-pleted, the lever will automatically re- turn to the center position and turn off the turn signals at the same time. Ifeither turn signal indicator light blinks more rapidly than usual, goes on but does not blink, or does not go on at all,there is a malfunction in the system. Check for a burned-out fuse or bulb or see your Hyundai dealer.
NOTE:
o If the distance to empty is less
than 50km (30 miles), a blinking "----" symbol will be dispalyed.
o The distance to empty can differ from the actual tripmeter accord-ing to driving conditions.
o The distance to empty can vary according to the driving condi-tions, driving pattern or vehiclespeed. B340B01A-AAT Lane Change Signal To indicate a lane change, move the lever up or down to a point where it begins flashing.The lever will automatically return to the center position when released.

vehicle towing attachment each and every time the trailer is hitched to thevehicle. Whilst towing, the performance of the vehicle will be reduced in terms of acceleration, braking and handling due to the increased loads placed upon thevehicle. The driver should anticipate the change in characteristics and ad- just the driving style in keeping withthese changes. Care should be exer- cised when cornering and braking to prevent the outfit becoming uncontrol-lable by reducing cornering speeds and allowing increased braking dis- tances. The driver should exercise care to ensure that when pulling away fromrest particularly on uphill gradients the clutch unit is not subjected to exces- sive slippage which will reduce theuseful life of this component. Use of the "Overdrive Off", "2" and "L" posi- tions when driving vehicles with auto-matic transmission will assist with brak- ing performance when long down hill gradients are encountered. Improved acceleration performance will be avail-able by selecting "Overdrive Off","2",or "1" depending upon road speed if it is found that the transmission unit makes an undesirable upshift whilsthill climbing or overtaking. The trans- mission unit should be operated in "D" with the Overdrive "On" under normalcircumstances to enhance fuel economy and reduce noise and en- gine wear.

The use of a proprietary stabiliser willassist in achieving an inherently stableoutfit but whilst the use of such equip- ment will improve the characteristics of a balanced outfit, it will not compen-sate for a badly loaded and therefore unstable outfit. The tyres and braking equipment fitted to the trailer or caravan must be main- tained in accordance with the recom-mendations of the manufacturer. Spe- cial attention should be paid to tyres which deteriorate through time andexposure rather than as a result of the distances towed. The inside walls of the tyres should be inspected alongwith the outside walls for cracking and damage. The trailer wheel nut torque must be checked on a regular basis,preferably before each towing ses- sion. The trailer hitch and the safety catch mechanism must be maintained in good working order. The trailer break awaycable or chain should be inspected for damage and should be attached to the
