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.SSA6060A

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, lossof fuel economy, poor acceleration, etc. Whenspark plugs are replaced, always use sparkplugs recommended by Hyundai. The use ofother spark plugs can result in loss of perfor-mance, radio interference or engine damage.

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 wiresmixed up.
1. Using a clean cloth, remove any dirt that has accumulated around the base of the spark plug so it cannot fall into the cylinder whenthe spark plug is removed. WARNING:

The fuse box for the lights and other electrical
accessories will be found low on the dashboardon the driver's side. Inside the box you will finda list showing the circuits protected by eachfuse.
If any of your car's lights or other electrical
accessories stop working, a blown fuse couldbe the reason. If the fuse has burned out, youwill see that the metal strip inside the fuse hasburned through. If you suspect a blown fuse,follow this procedure:
1. Turn off the ignition and all other switches.
2. Open the fuse box and examine each fuse. Remove each fuse by pulling it toward you (a small "fuse puller" tool is contained in thefuse box to simplify this operation).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses even if you find one that appears to have burned out.

The fluid in the battery contains a strong solu-
tion of sulfuric acid, which is poisonous and highly corrosive. Be careful not to spill it onyourself or the car. If you do spill battery fluid onyourself, immediately do the following:
o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush the affected areas with water for at least 15 minutes and then seek medical assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse out your eyes with water and get medical assistanceas soon as possible. While you are beingdriven to get medical assistance, continueto rinse your eyes by using a sponge or softcloth saturated with water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large quantity of water or milk followed by milk ofmagnesia, eat a raw egg or drink vegetableoil. Get medical assistance as soon aspossible.
While batteries are being charged (either by abattery charger or by the vehicle's alternator),they produce explosive gases. Always observethese warnings to prevent injuries from occur-ring:

SNOW TIRES
If you equip your car with snow tires, they
should be the same size and have the sameload capacity as the original tires. Snow tiresshould be installed on all four wheels; other-wise, poor handling may result.
Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air
pressure than the pressure recommended forthe standard tires on the tire label on the driverside center pillar outer panel, or up to themaximum pressure shown on the tire sidewallwhichever is less.
Do not drive faster than the speed limit when
your car is equipped with snow tires. I050A01X-GAT

Be sure that the chains are theproper size and that they are installed in accor-dance with the manufacturer's instructions. To minimize tire and chain wear, do not con- tinue to use tire chains when they are no longerneeded.
