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.

NOTE: Spark plugs must only be cleaned using
purpose designed equipment. Wire brush-ing may damage the centre electrode insula-tor causing mis-firing to occur.

WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
The wiper blades should be carefully inspected from time to time and cleaned to remove accu-mulations of road film or other debris. To clean the wiper blades and arms, use a clean sponge or cloth with a mild soap ordetergent and water. If the wipers continue to streak or smear the glass, replace them with genuine Hyundai re-placement parts or their equivalent. NOTE:
o Do not operate the wipers on dry glass. This can result in more rapid wear of the wiper blades and may scratch the glass.
o Keep the blade rubber out of contact with petroleum products such as engineoil, gasoline etc.G090A01X-EAT
FILLING THE WASHER RESERVOIR
The washer fluid reservoir supplies fluid to the
windshield washer system.
A good quality washer fluid should be used to fill
the washer reservoir. The fluid level should be checked more frequently during bad weather orwhenever the washer system is in more fre-quent use.
The capacity of the washer reservoir is 2.19
lmp.qts (2.5 Litres).
CAUTION:
o Radiator antifreeze (engine coolant) should not be used in the washer systembecause it will damage the car’s finish.
o The washer lever should not be pulled and the washer should not be operated ifthe washer reservoir is empty. This can
damage the washer fluid pump. XG100A2-E

Filler plug
Drain plug
The transaxle lubricant should be checked and/
or changed at intervals specified in the mainte- nance schedule. Recommended Lubricant
Use only HYUNDAI GENUINE PARTS MTF
75W/90 (API GL-4) in the manual transaxle.
CAUTION: The transaxle lubricant level should only be
checked when the engine is cold to preludethe possibility of personal injury by contactwith hot components.
1. To check the transaxle lubricant level, the vehicle should be placed on level ground and the level plug removed with a suitablespanner.

6-12 the instruments to check it with a force of 22 lb. (98N), the deflection should be approx. 0.197 ~0.217 inches (5 ~ 5.5 mm). If the belt is tooloose, have it adjusted by your Hyundai dealer. ZG140C1-E
Checking the Refrigerant
1. Start the engine and let it run at fast idle for several minutes with the air conditioner set at one of its colder settings.
2. Open the hood and check two hoses by touching with your fingers. One line is theevaporator inlet, the other is the outlet. Ifthere is a temperature difference betweenthe two hoses, the refrigerant is low and thesystem should be recharged by your Hyundaidealer.
CAUTION:Running the air conditioning system for ex-tended periods of time with a low refrigerantlevel may damage the compressor. ZG140D1-A
Lubrication To lubricate the compressor and the seals in the system, the air conditioner should be run forat least 10 minutes each week. This is particu-larly important during cool weather when the airconditioning system is not otherwise in use.

AIR CONDITIONING CARE Keeping the Condenser Clean
The air conditioning condenser (and engine
radiator) should be checked periodically for accumulation of dirt, dead insects, leaves, etc.
These can interfere with maximum cooling effi-
ciency. When removing such accumulations,brush or hose them away carefully to avoidbending the cooling fans.

When the air conditioning is being used regular-
ly, the compressor drive belt tension should be checked at least once a month.
To check the drive belt tension, press down on
the belt halfway between the engine crankshaftand compressor pulleys. Pressing with yourfinger, you should not be able to deflect this beltanymore than 0.197 ~ 0.217 inches. If you have

Adding Brake Fluid WARNING:
Handle brake fluid carefully. It can damage
your vision if it gets into your eyes. Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification fluid from a
sealed container. Do not allow the fluid canor reservoir to remain open any longer than
required. This will avoid entry of dirt andmoisture which can damage the brake sys-tem and cause improper operation.
To add brake fluid, first wipe away any dirt then
unscrew the fluid reservoir cap. Slowly pour therecommended fluid into the reservoir. Do notoverfill. Carefully replace the cap on the reser-voir and tighten.
