DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
2- 12 C160G01A-GAT To Keep Locks from FreezingTo keep the locks from freezing, squirt an ap- proved de-icer fluid or glycerine into the keyopening. If a lock is covered with ice, squirt it withan approved de-icing fluid to remove the ice. Ifthe lock is frozen internally, you may be able tothaw it out by using a heated key. Handle theheated key with care to avoid injury. NOTE: The proper temperature for using the immo-bilizer key is from -40°C to 80°C. If you heatthe immobilizer key over 80°C to open thefrozen lock, it may cause damage to thetransponder in its head. C160H01A-AAT Use Approved Anti-Freeze in Window Washer System To keep the water in the window washer system from freezing, add an approved anti-freeze solu-tion in accordance with instructions on the con-tainer. Window washer anti-freeze is availablefrom Hyundai dealers and most auto parts out-lets. Do not use engine coolant or other types ofanti-freeze as these may damage the finish.
C160B01A-GAT Snowy or Icy ConditionsTo drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be necessary to use snow tires or to install tirechains on your tires. If snow tires are needed, itis necessary to select tires equivalent in size andtype to the original equipment tires. Failure to doso may adversely affect the safety and handlingof your car. Speeding, rapid acceleration, sud-den brake applications, and sharp turns arepotentially very hazardous practices. Duringdeceleration, use engine braking to the fullestextent. Sudden brake applications on snowy oricy roads may cause skids to occur. You need tokeep sufficient distance between the vehicle infront and your vehicle. Also, apply the brakegently. It should be noted that installing tire chainson the tire will provide a greater driving force, butwill not prevent side skids. NOTE: Tire chains are not legal in all provinces.Check province laws before fitting tire chains. C160C01A-AAT Use High Quality Ethylene Glycol Coolant Your Hyundai is delivered with high quality ethyl- ene glycol coolant in the cooling system. It is theonly type of coolant that should be used becauseit helps prevent corrosion in the cooling system,lubricates the water pump and prevents freezing.Be sure to replace or replenish your coolant in
C160D01F-AAT Check Battery and Cables Winter puts additional burdens on the battery system. Visually inspect the battery and cablesas described in Section 6 (See page 6-18). Thelevel of charge in your battery can be checkedby your Hyundai dealer or a service station. C160E01A-AAT Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if Necessary In some climates it is recommended that a lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be used during coldweather. See Section 9 for recommendations. Ifyou aren't sure what weight oil you should use,consult your Hyundai dealer. C160F01F-GAT Check Spark Plugs and Ignition Sys- tem Inspect your spark plugs as described in Section 6 (See page 6-8) and replace them if necessary.Also check all ignition wiring and components tobe sure they are not cracked, worn or damagedin any way.
accordance with the maintenance schedule inSection 5. Before winter, have your coolant test-ed to assure that its freezing point is sufficient forthe temperatures anticipated during the winter.

tance. Automobile batteries contain sulfuric acid. This is poisonous and highly corrosive.When jump starting, wear protective glassesand be careful not to get acid on yourself,your clothing or on the car.
o If you should accidentally get acid on your
skin or in your eyes, immediately remove any contaminated clothing and flush the area withclear water for at least 15 minutes. Thenpromptly obtain medical attention. If you mustbe transported to an emergency facility, con-tinue to apply water to the affected area witha sponge or cloth.
o The gas produced by the battery during the jump-start operation is highly explosive. Donot smoke or allow a spark or open flame inthe vicinity.
o The battery being used to provide the jump start must be 12-volt. If you cannot determinethat it is a 12-volt battery, do not attempt touse it for the jump start.
o To jump start a car with a discharged battery, follow this procedure exactly:
1. If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, be sure the two vehicles are nottouching.
2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and acces- sories in both vehicles. 3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in the
exact location shown on the previous page.First, attach one clamp of the jumper cable tothe positive (+) post or cable of the dis-charged battery. Then attach the other end ofthe same cable to the positive (+) post orcable of the booster battery. Next, using theother cable, attach one clamp to the negative(-) post or cable of the booster battery. Thenattach the other end of that cable to a solidmetal part of the engine away from thebattery. Do not connect the cable to anymoving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the booster battery and let it run for a few minutes. Thiswill help to assure that the booster battery isfully charged. During the jumping operation,run the engine in this vehicle at about 2000rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the discharged battery using the normal starting procedure.After the engine starts, leave the jumpercables connected and let the engine run atfast idle or about 2000 rpm for several min-utes.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your battery becamedischarged (because the lights were left on,etc.), have the charging system checked by yourHyundai dealer. D030A02A-AAT IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATSIf your temperature gauge indicates overheating, you experience a loss of power, or hear loudpinging or knocking, the engine is probably toohot. If this happens to you, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
2. Place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto- matic), or neutral (manual transaxle) and set the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on,turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out under the car or steam is coming out from the hood, stopthe engine. Do not open the hood until theengine coolant has stopped running or thesteaming has stopped. If there is no visibleloss of engine coolant and no steam, leavethe engine running and check to be sure theengine cooling fan is operating. If the fan isnot running, turn the engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not missing, check to see thatit is tight. If the drive belt seems to be satis-factory, check for engine coolant leaking fromthe radiator, hoses or under the car. (If the airconditioning had been in use, it is normal forcold water to be draining from it when youstop).
WARNING:While the engine is running, keep hair, hands,and clothing away from moving parts such asthe fan and drive belts to prevent injury.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY 3-3
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken or
engine coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call the nearest Hyundaidealer for assistance.
WARNING:Do not remove the radiator cap when theengine is hot. This can allow coolant to beblown out of the opening and cause seriousburns.
6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheat- ing, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then, if the engine cool-ant has been lost, carefully add coolant to thereservoir (page 6-8) to bring the fluid level inthe reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for fur- ther signs of overheating. If overheating hap-pens again, call a Hyundai dealer for assis-tance.
CAUTION:Serious loss of engine coolant indicates thereis a leak in the cooling system and this shouldbe checked as soon as possible by a Hyundaidealer. 2. The spare tire should only be used temporari-
ly and should be returned to the luggagecompartment as soon as the original tire canbe repaired or replaced.
3. Continuous use at speeds of over 80 km/h (50 mph) is not recommended.
4. As the temporary spare tire is specifically designed for your car, it should not be used onany other vehicle.
5. The temporary spare tire should not be used on any other wheels, nor should standardtires, snow tires, wheel covers or trim ringsbe used with the temporary spare wheel. Ifsuch use is attempted, damage to theseitems or other car components may occur.
6. The temporary spare tire pressure should be checked once a month while the tire is stored.
D040A01GK-GAT TEMPORARY SPARE TIREThe following instructions for the temporary spare tire should be observed:
1. Check inflation pressure as soon as practical
after installing the spare tire, and adjust to the specified pressure. The tire pressure shouldbe periodically checked and maintained atthe specified pressure while the tire is stored.
Spare Tire Pressure CAUTION:
o Do not use snow chains with your tempo-
rary spare tire.
o Do not use more than one temporary spare tire at a time.

CHANGING THE OIL AND FILTER
The engine oil and filter should be changed at those intervals specified in the maintenanceschedule in Section 5. If the car is being drivenin severe conditions, more frequent oil and filterchanges are required. The procedure for changing the oil and filter is as follows:
1. Park the car on level ground and set the parking brake. Start the engine and let itwarm up until the needle on the coolanttemperature gauge moves above the lowestmark. Turn the engine off and place the gearselector lever in "P" (automatic) or reversegear (manual transaxle).
2. Open the hood and remove the engine oil filler cap.
G040A01GK 3. Slide underneath the car and loosen the
drain plug by turning it counterclockwise with a wrench of the proper size. Be surethat a drain pan is in position to catch the oilas it drains out, then remove the drain plug.
WARNING: Be very careful when draining the engine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you!
4. When the oil has stopped draining, replace the drain plug using a new washer and retighten by turning it clockwise. Tightening torque :
4.5 ~ 4.0 kgf.m (1.6/2.0L) 4.5 ~ 3.5 kgf.m (2.7L)
5. Remove the oil filter by turning it counter- clockwise with a oil filter wrench of the proper size. A certain amount of oil willcome out when you remove the filter. So besure to have your drain pan in place under-neath it.
6. Install a new oil filter in accordance with the instructions on the carton or on the filteritself. Do not over-tighten. Tightening torque: 1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m.Be sure that the mounting surface on the engine is clean and that the old gasket isremoved completely. Lubricate the new gas-ket on the filter with clean engine oil beforeinstallation.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION Function of Engine Oil
Engine oil has the primary function of lubricat-
ing and cooling the inside of the engine.
Engine oil consumption It is normal that an engine should consume
some engine oil while normal driving. The cause of oil consumption in a normal engine are asfollows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston rings and cylinders.
o A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall when a piston moves downwards in the cylinder. High negative pressure generatedduring engine operation sucks some of theoil into the combustion chamber. This oil with some oil of the cylinder wall is burned by the high temperature combustiongases during the combustion process.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly ef- fected by the viscosity and quality of oil,engine rpm and driving condition etc. Moreengine oil may be consumed under severedriving conditions such as high speeds, fre-quent acceleration and deceleration, com-pared to normal driving condition. V6

CHECKING AND CHANGING THE EN- GINE COOLANT
WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the engine coolant is under pressure and mayerupt through the opening if the cap isremoved. You could be seriously burned ifyou do not observe this precaution. Do notremove the radiator cap until the radiator iscool to the touch. G050B01A-AAT
Recommended Engine Coolant
Use a high quality ethylene-glycol coolant in a
50/50 mix with water. The engine coolant shouldbe compatible with aluminum engine parts.Additional corrosion inhibitors or additives shouldnot be used. The cooling system must be main-tained with the correct concentration and typeof engine coolant to prevent freezing and corro-sion. Never allow the concentration of anti-freeze to exceed the 60% level or go below the35% level, or damage to the cooling systemmay result. For proper concentration when add-ing or replacing the engine coolant, refer to thefollowing table.
HGK187
35% 40%50%60%
G050C01A-AAT
To Check the Coolant Level The coolant level can be seen on the side of the plastic coolant reservoir. The level of the cool-ant should be between the "LOW" and "FULL"lines on the reservoir when the engine is cool.If the level is below the "LOW" mark, addengine coolant to bring it up between "LOW"and "FULL". If the level is low, inspect forcoolant leaks and recheck the fluid level fre-quently. If the level drops again, visit yourHyundai dealer for an inspection and diagnosisof the reason.
7. Refill the crankcase with the recommended
engine oil. Refer to the specification in chap-ter 9 for engine oil capacity.
8. Start the engine and check to be sure no oil is leaking from the drain plug or oil filter.
9. Shut off the engine and recheck the oil level.
NOTE:Always dispose of used engine oil in an
environmentally acceptable manner. It is sug-gested that it be placed in a sealed containerand taken to a service station for maybereclaimation. Do not pour the oil on theground or put it in with the household trash.
WARNING: Used motor oil may cause irritation or can-
cer of the skin if left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods of time. Wash yourhands thoroughly with soap and warm wa-ter as soon as possible after handling usedoil.

Your engine was originally equipped with plati- num-tipped spark plugs. (For 2.7L only). Platinum-tipped spark plugs will last longer than conventional type spark plugs and can be iden-tified by blue lines on the ceramic shell. NOTE: Do not clean or regap platinum-tipped spark plugs.
G060B01GK-GAT
Replacing the Spark Plugs The spark plugs should be changed at the
intervals specified in the vehicle maintenanceschedule 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.
NOTE: When replacing the spark plugs, genuine
Hyundai replacement parts are recom- mended. Recommended Spark Plugs:

To Change the Engine Coolant
The engine coolant should be changed at those
intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.
NOTE: Engine coolant can damage the finish of
your car. If you spill engine coolant on the car, wash it off thoroughly with clean water.
1. Park the car on level ground, set the park- ing brake and remove the radiator cap when cool.
2. Be sure your drain receptacle is in place. Open the drain cock on the radiator. Allowall the engine coolant to drain from thecooling system, then securely close the draincock.
3. Check Section 9 for the capacity of the cooling system in your car. Then, followingthe manufacturer's directions on the enginecoolant container, add the appropriate quan-tity of engine coolant to the radiator.
4. Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise with- out pressing down on it, until it stops. Thisrelieves 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. DOHC1.0~1.1 mm (0.039 ~ 0.043 in.)
