4. Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise with- out pressing down on it, until it stops. This relieves any pressure remaining in the cool-ing system. And remove the radiator cap bypushing down and turning counterclockwise. Now fill the radiator with clean demineral- ized or distilled water. Continue to add cleandemineralized or distilled water in small quan-tities until the fluid level stays up in theradiator neck. 5. Start the engine, top off the radiator with
water and then add engine coolant to thereservoir until the level is between "LOW"and "FULL".
6. Replace the radiator and reservoir caps and check to be sure the drain cocks are fullyclosed and not leaking.
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 theblades of the cooling fan so that you are notinjured by a rotating fan blade. As the en-gine coolant temperature decreases, the fanwill automatically shut off. This is a normalcondition. AG060B1-E
SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT
This operation should only be performed when
the engine is cold.
1. Remove plug lead from the spark plug to be replaced, pulling the lead by the rubber cap. (Pulling the lead may damage the carbonconductor).
2. Clean around the base of the plug to be removed, and install the plug socket ensur-ing that the ceramic insulator does not be-come damaged. Turn the socket anti-clock-wise to remove the plug.

To change the filter, loosen the clamps (1) on the cover. When this is done, the cover can be
lifted off, the old filter removed and the new filterput in its place. Genuine Hyundai replacementparts are recommended. CAUTION: Operating your vehicle without a proper air filter in place can result in excessive enginewear.

Only the correct grade of spark plug should be used. Use of an incorrect grade mayresult in serious engine damage. Prior to installing a spark plug, the gap between the centre and outer electrodesmust be checked and adjusted as neces-sary. Adjustment is facilitated by bending the outer electrode towards or away from the centreelectrode. Under no circumstances shouldattempts be made to adjust the position ofthe centre electrode.
3. Insert the spark plug into the cylinder head and screw by and until the plug contacts theseating area. Tighten the plug with the sock-et by a further 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn only.
4. Replace the plug lead ensuring that the cap is pushed firmly into place. Confirm that thecap is correctly seated by lightly pullingupon it.G060C03A CHAMPION : RC9YC4
