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.

1-20 WARNING: Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The engine coolant is underpressure and could erupt and cause severeburns. Wait until the engine is cool beforeremoving the radiator cap. The needle on the engine coolant temperature
gauge should stay in the normal range. If itmoves across the dial to “H” (Hot), pull over and stop as soon as possible and turn off the engine. Then open the hood and check thecoolant level and the water pump drive belt. If
you suspect cooling system trouble, have yourcooling system checked by Hyundai dealer assoon as possible.
The needle on the gauge indicates the fuel levelin the fuel tank. The fuel capacity is given insection 9. NOTE: The engine should not be operated below the “E” mark of the fuel gauge and with thelow fuel level warning lamp on, or seriousengine damage or misfire may result.

6. If the cause of the overheating cannot be
found, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if coolant hasbeen lost, carefully remove the radiator capand add water to bring the fluid level in thereservoir up to the base of the radiator fill
opening. Fill the coolant expansion tank tothe halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution until it is established that the engine is operating normally. If theengine overheats repeatedly, the advice of aHyundai dealer should be sought.
CAUTION: Serious loss of coolant indicates there is aleak in the cooling system and this shouldbe checked as soon as possible by a Hyundaidealer. 3. Passengers must not be allowed to remain
inside the vehicle during wheel changing. Ifa puncture occurs whilst the vehicle is on amotorway, the passengers should take ref-uge on the motorway embankment to avoidthe possibility of injury occurring should thevehicle be struck by other motorway traffic.
4. Wheel changing should be performed ac- cording to the following instructions.

FULL-SIZED SPARE TYRE For customer convenience and satisfaction,Hyundai has included a full-sized spare tyreand wheel. The following instructions should be observed.
1. Check inflation pressure as soon as possi- ble after installing the spare tyre, and adjust to the specified pressure.
2. The spare tyre pressure should be checked once a month while the tyre is stored.

IN THE EVENT OF A PUNCTURE
If a puncture occurs whilst driving the vehicle:
1. Bring the car to rest as soon as it is safe to do so and with the minimum amount ofbraking required which will assist in main-taining the maximum amount of control. Thevehicle should be parked wherever possibleupon firm level ground to facilitate wheelchanging.
2. If the vehicle is creating a hazard and the road conditions do not permit the wheel tobe changed safely, assistance should besought. SD070A1-E
CHANGING A FLAT TYRE

It is of the utmost importance that care is
exercised when changing road wheels. Ensure that the parking brake is set and that the gearshift lever is in reverse (P, if the vehicle hasautomatic transaxle).

CHECKING AND CHANGING THE EN- GINE COOLANT
WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the en-
gine is hot. When the engine is hot, the coolant is under pressure and may erupt through theopening if the cap is removed. You could beseriously burned if you do not observe thisprecaution. Do not remove the cap until theradiator is cool to the touch.

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.
