GENCY
SD020A1-E IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT STARTSeek assistance from the nearest Hyundai dealer with regard to the method of ignition and fuelsystem diagnosis. WARNING: If the engine refuses to start, no attemptshould be made to push or tow start thevehicle. Vehicles with automatic transaxle orfuel injection will not be able to be started inthis manner since no drive is transmittedthrough the automatic transaxle whilst theengine is not running, and in the case of fuelinjected derivatives, the fuel pump will notoperate under tow start conditions. In addi-tion, if the vehicle is equipped with an ex-haust catalyst, damage to the catalyst mayresult if the vehicle is tow started. SD020B1-E IF THE ENGINE CANNOT BE CRANKED
1. If the vehicle is fitted with manual transaxle, ensure that the clutch pedal is depressedwhilst cranking the engine. If the vehicle isfitted with automatic transaxle, ensure that D010C01A-AAT If Engine Turns Over Normally but Does Not Start
1. Check fuel Level.
2. With the key in the off position, check all
connectors at ignition coils and spark plugs.Reconnect any that may be disconnected orloose.
3. Check the fuel line in the engine room.
4. If engine still refuses to start, call a Hyundai dealer or seek other qualified assistance.

When the vehicle isfirmly on the ground, remove the jack and tightenthe wheel nuts securely. At the first availableopportunity, the wheel nut torque should bechecked with a suitable torque wrench. Wheel nut tightening torque Steel wheel & aluminium alloy wheel:90-110 Nm. (65-80 lb.ft) SD070K1-E AFTER CHANGING WHEELS The pressure of the spare tyre should be checked at the first available opportunity. If any doubtexists as to the tyre pressure, the vehicle shouldbe driven slowly to the nearest service stationand the tyre pressure checked and adjusted asrequired.If the valve cap is lost from any of the valves, areplacement should be obtained and fitted at thefirst available opportunity. The valve cap pre-vents the ingress of dirt which may cause thevalve to stick and therefore leak and is part of thevalve sealing function. Ensure that the spare wheel, jack and wheel nut wrench as well tools are correctly located in theboot of the vehicle to prevent damage and noise.

The vehicle may be towed by the conventional method using the towing eye at the front of thevehicle as an attachment point.In addition, a suspended tow may be given to thefront of the vehicle without an towing dolly. In theevent of a suspended tow being given to the rearof the vehicle, the use of an towing dolly isimperative.
o OK FOR AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE
CAUTION: The following restriction must be observedin order to avoid serious damage to thetransaxle.The vehicle must never be towed from therear with the front wheels on the ground.The vehicle must not be towed until transaxlefluid has been added to bring the level up tothe "HOT" marking on the dipstick. (The levelwill need to be reduced again after towing).The vehicle must not be towed at speedsfaster than 25 mph. or distances greater thanfifty miles. The general points regarding thesteering lock etc. described in the precedingsection (Manual transaxle vehicle) should beobserved.

The vehicle may be towed by the conventionalmethod using the towing eye at the front of thevehicle as an attachment point. In addition, asuspended tow with or without an towing dollymay be used with either the front or the rearwheels being suspended, provided the abovecaution is observed. In addition, the following points must be noted:
o If towing by conventional means, the ignition key must be at the "ACC" position, otherwise the steering lock will be activated.
o Because the brake system and steering sys- tem power assistance is derived from theengine, the amount of effort required to stop orsteer the vehicle will be greater than normal.
o If a suspended tow is being given to the rear, the ignition key must be at the "ACC" position HGK200

SG070A1-E AIR CLEANER ELEMENT REPLACE- MENT
Prior to installing a sparking plug, the gap be- tween the centre and outer electrodes must bechecked and adjusted as necessary.Adjustment is facilitated by bending the outerelectrode towards or away from the centre elec-trode. Under no circumstances should attemptsbe made to adjust the position of the centreelectrode.
4. Insert the sparking plug into the cylinder head and using a suitable plug socket, slowly ratate the sparking plug, until the plug contacts theseating area. Tighten the plug with the plugsocket by a further 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn only. 5. Replace the plug lead ensuring that the cap is
pushed firmly into place. Confirm that the capis correctly seated by lightly pulling upon it.
Recommended Spark Plugs To replace the air cleaner element, remove theair intake ducting from the air flow sensor bodyand unfasten the spring clips holding the air flowsensor top to the body. Lift out the air flow sensorfollowed by the air cleaner element. Replace-ment of the element is the reverse of the above. CAUTION:
o The air flow sensor is a precision engi-
neered electronic measuring device andtherefore care should be exercised that theair flow sensor is not damaged duringreplacement of the element.
o When removing the air cleaner element, be careful that dust or dirt does not enter theair intake. These may result in damage tothe air cleaner element.
NOTE: When replacing the spark plugs, genuine Hyundai replacement parts are recom-mended.

hicle operator in order to prevent operational problems arising from damage to the catalyst.Damage to the catalyst will result if contamina-tion occurs through the use of leaded fuel. Whilstthe vehicle is fitted with a reduced diameter fillerneck to prevent charging of the fuel tank with aleaded fuel pump nozzle, it is possible that theuse of funnels or jerry cans will permit leaded fuelto be introduced into the fuel tank.The catalyst is intolerant of unburnt fuel andtherefore if an engine misfire condition exists,damage to the catalyst will occur. It is imperativethat if a misfire condition develops, the vehicle isimmediately presented to a Hyundai dealer forrectification. Similarly, the practice of certainignition system diagnosis procedures which in-volve inducing a misfire (cylinder power balancetests for example) may result in catalyst dam-age.For these reasons, it is advisable that the ex-haust gas emission be tested at each routineservice with a gas analyzer having a Hydrocar-bon measuring facility to ensure continued reli-ability of the catalyst.Push or tow starting of the vehicle is to beavoided since unburnt fuel may be enter thecatalyst and result in damage. (Note, it is impos-sible to push or tow start a Hyundai modelequipped with fuel injection since the fuel pumpsafety interlock will prevent the pump from oper-ating under these conditions).Operation of the catalyst involves extremely hightemperatures being attained within the catalyticconvertor, and although the convertor is fitted
with heat shields, it is important that the vehicleis not parked over combustible or volatile mate-rial which may result in fire.If the above precautions are not adhered to andthe catalyst becomes inoperative, the resultantincrease in core temperature will result in a "meltdown" where the catalyst core will melt andsubsequently may block the exhaust system.Due to the fragile nature of the catalyst element,it is important that damage does not occur whenthe vehicle is raised by means of a garage jack.Care must also be exercised to avoid drivingover road hazards or debris which may causedamage to the catalyst element.
