G050D02A-AAT To Change the Coolant The coolant should be changed at those intervals specified in the vehiclemaintenance schedule in Section 5.
CAUTION:
Engine coolant can damage the fin-ish of your car. If you spill engine coolant on the car, wash it off thor- oughly with clean water.
!
1. Park the car on level ground, set the parking brake and remove the ra- diator cap when cool.
2. Be sure your drain receptacle is in place. Open the drain cock on theradiator. Allow all the engine coolantto drain from the cooling system, then securely close the drain cock.
3. Check Section 9 for the capacity of the cooling system in your car. Then,following the manufacturer's direc- tions on the engine coolant contain-er, add the appropriate quantity of coolant to the radiator. 4. 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 capby pushing down and turning coun- terclockwise. Now fill the radiator with clean dem-ineralized or distilled water. Con- tinue to add clean demineralized or distilled water in small quantitiesuntil the fluid level stays up in the radiator neck. G050D02A
5. Start the engine, top off the radiator with water and then add engine coolant to the reservoir until thelevel is between "L" and "F".
6. Replace the radiator and reservoir
caps and check to be sure the draincocks are fully closed and not leak- ing.

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.

CHECKING THE TRANSAXLE FLUID (AUTOMATIC)
G110A01E-AAT Transaxle fluid in the automatic transaxle should be checked at those intervals specified in the vehicle main- tenance schedule in Section 5. NOTE: Automatic transaxle fluid is basi- cally a red color. As driving distance increases, the fluid color turns dark-ish red gradually. It is normal condi- tion and you should not judge the need to replace based upon thechanging color. You must replace the automatic transaxle fluid in accordance withintervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in section 5. G110B03A-AAT Recommended Fluid Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is specially designed to operate withHyundai Genuine ATF SP III, DIA- MOND ATF SP III or other brands approved by Hyundai Motor Co. Dam-age caused by a nonspecified fluid is not covered by your new vehicle limited warranty.
G110C02A-GAT Transaxle Fluid Capacity The fluid capacity of the automatic transaxle is 6.1 liters.
WARNING:
The transaxle fluid level should bechecked when the engine is at nor-mal operating temperature. This means that the engine, radiator, exhaust system etc., are very hot.Exercise great care not to burn your- self during this procedure. G110D02A-GAT To Check the Transaxle Fluid Level Park the car on level ground with the parking brake engaged. When thetransaxle fluid level is checked, the transaxle fluid should be at normal operating temperature and the engineidling.
While the engine is idling, apply thebrakes and move the gear selectorlever from "P" to each of its other positions -- "R", "N", "D", "2", "L" -- and then return to "N" or "P". With theengine still idling: C090A01A

At the scheduled maintenance inspec- tion, belts should be examined for cracks, wear, fraying or other evidenceof deterioration and replaced if neces- sary. Belt routing should also be checked tobe sure there is no interference be- tween the belts and other parts of the engine. A fusible link will melt if the electricalcircuits from the battery are ever over- loaded, thus preventing damage to the entire wiring harness. (This could becaused by a short in the system draw- ing too much current.) If this ever happens, have a Hyundai dealer de-termine the cause, repair the system and replace the fusible link. The fusible links are located in a fuse box for easyinspection.

7EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
2EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
H010A01A-GAT
(If Installed)
Your Hyundai is equipped with an
emission control system to meet all requirements of the Emission prohibi- tion rules of your province. There are three emission control sys-
tems which are as follows.
1) Crankcase emission control sys- tem
2) Evaporative emission control sys-
tem
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 maintained by an au- thorized Hyundai dealer in accordancewith the maintenance schedule in this manual. H010B01A-AAT
1. Crankcase Emission Control
System
The positive crankcase ventilation
system is employed to prevent airpollution caused by blow-by gases being emitted from the crankcase.This system supplies fresh air to the crankcase through the air intake hose. Inside the crankcase, the fresh airmixes with blow-by gases, which then pass through the PCV valve and into the induction system.
H010C02E-GAT
2. Evaporative Emission
Control System
The Evaporative Emission Control
System is designed to prevent fuelvapors from escaping into the atmo-sphere. Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel
tank are absorbed and stored in the canister. When the engine is running, the fuel vapors absorbed in the can-ister are drawn into the induction sys-tem through the purge control sole- noid valve. Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve is
controlled by the Engine Control Mod- ule (ECM); when the engine coolant temperature is low during idling, the PCSV closes so that evaporated fuelis not taken into the engine. After the engine warms-up during ordinary driv- ing, the PCSV opens so as to intro-duce evaporated fuel to the engine. H010D01A-AAT
3. Exhaust Emission Control
System
The exhaust emission control system is a highly effective system which controls exhaust emission while main-taining good vehicle performance.
