WARNING:Always read the following in-
structions carefully when han-
dling a battery.
Keep lighted cigarettes and all
other flames or sparks away from
the battery.
Hydrogen, which is a highly com-
bustible gas, is always present in
battery cells and may explode if
ignited.
Keep batteries out of the reach of
children because batteries con-
tain highly corrosive SULFURIC
ACID. Do not allow battery acid
to contact your skin, eyes, cloth-
ing or paint finish.
If any electrolyte gets into your
eyes, flush your eyes with clean
water for at least 15 minutes and
get immediate medical attention.
If possible, continue to apply
water with a sponge or cloth until
medical attention is received.If electrolyte gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the contacted
area.
If you feel a pain or a burning
sensation, get medical attention
immediately.
Wear eye protection when charg-
ing or working near a battery.
Always provide ventilation when
working in an enclosed space.
o When lifting a plastic-cased battery, ex-
cessive pressure on the case may cause
battery acid to leak, resulting in personal
injury. Lift with a battery carrier or with
your hands on opposite corners.
o Never attempt to charge the battery when
the battery cables are connected.
o The electrical ignition system works with
high voltage.
Never touch these components with the
engine running or the ignition switched
on.
WARNING:
CHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING
FANS!
G220A01A-AAT
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may sometimes
operate even when the engine is not run-
ning. Use extreme caution when working
near the blades of the cooling fan, so that
you are not injured by a rotating fan blade.
As the engine coolant temperature de-
creases the fan will automatically shut off.
This is a normal condition.G220B01NF-GATChecking Engine Cooling FanThe engine cooling fan should come on auto-
matically if the engine coolant temperature is
high or whenever the air conditioning is in
operation.

HEADLIGHT AIMING ADJUSTMENTG290A03O-AATBefore performing aiming adjustment, make
sure of the following.
1. Keep all tires inflated to the correct pressure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground and press
the front bumper & rear bumper down sev-
eral times.
Place vehicle at a distance of 118 in. (3m)
from the test wall.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded (except for
full levels of coolant, engine oil and fuel, and
spare tire, jack, and tools). Have the driver
or equivalent weight placed in driver's seat.
4. Clean the headlight lenses and turn on the
headlights (Low beam).
5. Open the hood.

6. Draw a vertical line (through the center of
each headlight beam pattern) and a horizon-
tal line (through the center of each headlight
beam pattern) on the aiming screen.
And then, draw a parallel line at 0.8 in. (21
mm) under the horizontal line.
7. Adjust each cut-off line of the low beam to the
parallel line with a phillips screwdriver -
VERTICAL AIMING.
WARNING:
Never attempt to adjust the horizontal align-
ment of your headlights. Horizontal aiming
must be adjusted by an authorized Hyundai
dealer to avoid incorrect alignment that will
reduce the effectiveness of your headlights.

If the vehicle has had front body repair and the
headlight assembly has been replaced, the
headlight aiming should be checked using the
aiming screen as shown in the illustration. Turn
on the headlight switch (Low Beam Position).
1. Adjust headlights so that main axis of light is
parallel to the center line of the body and is
aligned with point "P" shown in the illustration.
2. Dotted lines in the illustration show the center
of the headlights.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS2
EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEMS
H010B01A-AAT1. Crankcase Emission Control SystemThe positive crankcase ventilation system is
employed to prevent air pollution caused by
blow-by gases being emitted from the crank-
case. This system supplies fresh filtered air to
the crankcase through the air intake hose.
Inside the crankcase, the fresh air mixes with
blow-by gases, which then pass through the
PCV valve into the induction system.
CanisterFuel vapors generated inside the fuel tank are
absorbed and stored in the onboard canister.
When the engine is running, the fuel vapors
absorbed in the canister are drawn into the
surge tank through the purge control solenoid
valve.Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)The purge control solenoid valve is controlled
by the Engine Control Module (ECM); when the
engine coolant temperature is low during idling,
the PCSV closes so that evaporated fuel is not
taken into the engine. After the engine warms-
up during ordinary driving, the PCSV opens to
introduce evaporated fuel to the engine.H010D01A-AAT3. Exhaust Emission Control
SystemThe Exhaust Emission Control System is a
highly effective system which controls exhaust
emissions while maintaining good vehicle per-
formance.
H010A01NF-AATYour Hyundai is equipped with an emission
control system to meet all emission regulations.
There are three emission control systems which
are as follows.
(1) Crankcase emission control system
(2) Evaporative emission control system
(3) Exhaust emission control system
In order to assure the proper function of the
emission control systems, it is recommended
that you have your car inspected and main-
tained by an authorized Hyundai dealer in ac-
cordance with the maintenance schedule in this
manual.
Caution for the Inspection and Maintenance
Test (With Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system)
o To prevent the vehicle from misfiring
during dynamometer testing, turn the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) sys-
tem off by pressing the ESC switch.
o After dynamometer testing is completed,
turn the ESC system back on by pressing
the ESC switch again.
H010C01S-AAT2. Evaporative Emission Control (Includ-
ing ORVR: Onboard Refueling Vapor
Recovery) SystemThe Evaporative Emission Control System is
designed to prevent fuel vapors from escaping
into the atmosphere.
(The ORVR system is designed to allow the
vapors from the fuel tank to be loaded into a
canister while refueling at the gas station, pre-
venting the escape of fuel vapors into the
atmosphere.)
