2DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
16TRAILER TOWINGUSE OF LIGHTS
C190A01A-AAT
Your Hyundai should not be used to tow a
trailer. It is designed to be compact and light
for good fuel economy, and is not designed as
a trailer-towing vehicle. Damages or malfunc-
tions caused by towing may not be covered by
the limited warranties applying to your Hyundai.
Damages or malfunctions that result from tow-
ing a trailer for commercial purposes are specifi-
cally not covered by Hyundai limited warranties.
C180A01A-AAT
Check your lights regularly for correct opera-
tion and always keep them clean. When driv-
ing during the day in conditions of poor visibil-
ity, it is helpful to drive with headlights on low
beam. This enables you to be seen as well as
to see.

IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START
!
D010B02A-AAT
If Engine Doesn't Turn Over or Turns
Over Slowly
D010A01A-AATD010C01A-AAT
If Engine Turns Over Normally but Does
Not Start
1. Check fuel level.
2. With the key in the "OFF" position, check all
connectors at ignition coil and spark plugs.
Reconnect any that may be disconnected or
loose.
3. Check the fuel line in the engine room.
4. If the engine still refuses to start, call a
Hyundai dealer or seek other qualified assis-
tance.
WARNING:If the engine will not start, do not push or
pull the car to start it. This could result in a
collision or cause other damage. In addition,
push or pull starting may cause the catalytic
converter to be overloaded and create a fire
hazard.
D010B01AD010C01A-D
1. If your car has an automatic transaxle, be
sure the gear selector lever is in "N" or "P"
and the emergency brake is set.
2. Check the battery connections to be sure
they are clean and tight.
3. Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or
goes out when you operate the starter, the
battery is discharged.

instructions for "Jump Starting".

5VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
2MAINTENANCE INTERVALS
F010B01A-AAT
Maintenance Requirements
The maintenance required for your Hyundai can
be divided into three main areas:
o Specified scheduled procedures
o General checks
o Do-it-yourself maintenance
F010A01A-AAT
Service Requirements
To ensure that you receive the greatest number
of miles of satisfying operation from your
Hyundai, certain maintenance procedures must
be performed. Although careful design and engi-
neering have reduced these to a minimum,
those that are required are of the utmost impor-
tance.
It is your responsibility to have these mainte-
nance procedures performed to comply with the
terms of the warranties covering your new
Hyundai. The Owner's Handbook supplied with
your new vehicle provides further information
about these warranties.
F010D01A-AAT
General Checks
These are the regular checks you should per-
form when you drive your Hyundai or you fill the
fuel tank. A list of these items will be found on
page 6-3.
F010C01A-AAT
Specified Scheduled Procedures
These are the procedures such as inspections,
adjustments and replacements that are listed in
the maintenance charts starting on page 5-4.
These procedures must be performed at the
intervals shown in the maintenance schedule to
assure that your warranty remains in effect.
Although it is strongly recommended that they
be performed by the factory-trained or distribu-
tor-trained technicians at your Hyundai dealer,
these procedures may be performed at any
qualified service facility.
It is suggested that genuine Hyundai service
parts be used for any required repairs or re-
placements. Other parts of equivalent quality
such as engine oil, engine coolant, manual or
auto transaxle oil, brake fluid and so on which
are not supplied by Hyundai Motor Company or
its distributor may be used without affecting your
warranty coverage but you should always be
sure these are equivalent to the quality of the
original Hyundai parts. Your Owner's Handbook
provides further information about your warranty
coverage.
F010E01A-AAT
Do-It-Yourself Maintenance
If you are mechanically inclined, own a few tools
that are required and want to take the time to do
so, you can inspect and service a number of
items. For more information about doing it your-
self, see Section 6.

your warranty. Where both mileage and time are shown, the frequency of service is determined by whichever occurs first.

5VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
7EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE ITEMS
F060D01A-AAT
o Fuel Lines, Fuel Hoses and
Connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and connec-
tions for leakage and damage. Have a trained
techincian, replace any damaged or leaking
parts immediately.
F060C01A-AATo Fuel Filter
A clogged filter can limit the speed at which the
vehicle may be driven, damage the emission
system and cause hard starting. If an excessive
amount of foreign matter accumulates in the fuel
tank, the filter may require replacement more
frequently.
After installing a new filter, run the engine for
several minutes, and check for leaks at the
connections.
Fuel filters should be installed by trained techni-
cians.
F060M01A-AAT
o Engine Oil and Filter
The engine oil and filter should be changed at
the intervals specified in the maintenance sched-
ule. If the car is being driven in severe condi-
tions, more frequent oil and filter changes are
required.
F060H01A-AAT
o Air Cleaner Filter
A Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is recom-
mended when the filter is replaced.
F060G01A-AAT
o Vapor Hose and Fuel Filler Cap
The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should be
inspected at those intervals specified in the
maintenance schedule. Make sure that a new
vapor hose or fuel filler cap is correctly re-
placed.
F060F01A-AATo Vacuum, Crankcase Ventilation
Hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evidence of
heat and/or mechanical damage. Hard and brittle
rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and
excessive swelling indicate deterioration. Par-
ticular attention should be paid to examine those
hose surfaces nearest to high heat sources,
such as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure that the
hoses do not come in contact with any heat
source, sharp edges or moving component which
might cause heat damage or mechanical wear.
Inspect all hose connections, such as clamps
and couplings, to make sure they are secure,
and that no leaks are present. Hoses should be
replaced immediately if there is any evidence of
deterioration or damage.
F060B01A-AAT
o Drive Belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of cuts,
cracks, excessive wear or oil saturation and
replace if necessary. Drive belts should be
checked periodically for proper tension and ad-
justed as necessary.
F060J01A-AAT
o Spark Plugs
Make sure to install new spark plugs of the
correct heat range.

4CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL
G030A01A-AAT
Engine oil is essential to the performance and
service of the engine. It is suggested that you
check the oil level at least once a week in
normal use and more often if you are on a trip or
driving in severe conditions.
G030B01A-AATRecommended Oil
SH, SG or SG/CD (API) multi-grade and fuel
efficient oil is recommended.
G030A02AG030C02A-AAT
To Check the Oil Level
Before checking the oil, warm up the engine to
the normal operating temperature and be sure it
is parked on level ground. Turn the engine off.
Wait five minutes, then remove the dipstick,
wipe it off, fully reinsert the dipstick and with-
draw it again. Then note the highest level the oil
has reached on the dipstick. It should be be-
tween the upper ("F") and lower ("L") range.
G030D01A-AAT
Adding Oil
If the oil level is close to or below the "L" mark,
add oil until it reaches the "F" mark. To add oil:
1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counter-
clockwise.
2. Add oil, then check the level again. Do not
overfill.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clockwise.
The distance between the "F" and "L" marks is
equal to about 1 quart of oil.

8REPLACING THE SPARK PLUGS
G060B01A-AAT
G060A01L
0.039 ~ 0.043 in.
(1.0 ~ 1.1 mm )
The spark plugs should be changed at the
intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance
schedule in section 5, or whenever engine per-
formance indicates they should be changed.
Symptoms that suggest poor spark plug perfor-
mance include engine misfiring under load, loss
of fuel economy, poor acceleration, etc. When
spark plugs are replaced, always 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:When replacing the spark plugs, genuine
Hyundai replacement parts are recom-
mended.
G060C01S-GATChanging the Spark Plugs
You will find it easier to change spark plugs if the
engine is cold. Always change one spark plug at
a time. This helps avoid getting the wires mixed
up.
G060C01A-D
1. Remove the center cover on the engine
rocker cover.
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.
Recommended Spark Plugs:CHAMPION : RC10YC4
NGK : BKR5ES-11!WARNING:The cooling fan is controlled by engine cool-
ant temperature and may sometimes operate
even when the engine is not running. 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 decreases, the fan will
automatically shut off. This is a normal con-
dition.
