G050A01A-AAT CHECKING AND CHANGING THE ENGINE COOLANT
G050B01A-AAT Recommended Engine Coolant
Use a high quality ethylene-glycol cool- ant in a 50/50 mix with water. The engine coolant should be compatiblewith aluminum engine parts. Additional corrosion inhibitors or additives should not be used. The cooling system mustbe maintained with the correct con- centration and type of engine coolant to prevent freezing and corrosion.Never allow the concentration of anti- freeze to exceed the 60% level or go below the 35% level, or damage to thecooling system may result. For proper concentration when adding or replac- ing the engine coolant, refer to thefollowing table.
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the engine coolant is underpressure and may erupt through the opening if the cap is removed. You could be seriously burned ifyou do not observe this precau- tion. Do not remove the radiator cap until the radiator is cool to thetouch.

G050C01A-GAT To Check the Coolant Level The coolant level can be seen on the side of the plastic coolant reservoir.The level of the coolant should be between the "LOW" and "FULL" lines on the reservoir when the engine iscold. If the level is below the "LOW" mark, add engine coolant to bring it up between "LOW" and "FULL". If thelevel is low, inspect for coolant leaks and recheck the fluid level frequently. If the level drops again, visit yourHyundai dealer for an inspection and diagnosis of the reason. G050D02A-AAT To Change the Coolant The coolant should be changed at those intervals specified in the vehiclemaintenance schedule in Section 5.
CAUTION:
Engine coolant can damage the fin-ish of your car. If you spill engine coolant on the car, wash it off thor- oughly with clean water.
!
1. Park the car on level ground, set the parking brake and remove the ra- diator cap when cool.
2. Be sure your drain receptacle is in place. Open the drain cock on theradiator. Allow all the engine coolantto drain from the cooling system, then securely close the drain cock.
3. Check Section 9 for the capacity of
the cooling system in your car. Then,following the manufacturer's direc- tions on the engine coolant contain-er, add the appropriate quantity of coolant to the radiator. 4. Turn the radiator cap counterclock-
wise without pressing down on it, until it stops. This relieves any pres- sure remaining in the cooling sys- tem. And remove the radiator capby pushing down and turning coun- terclockwise. Now fill the radiator with clean dem-ineralized or distilled water. Con- tinue to add clean demineralized or distilled water in small quantitiesuntil the fluid level stays up in the radiator neck.

5. Start the engine, top off the radiator with water and then add engine coolant to the reservoir until the level is between "LOW" and "FULL".
6. Replace the radiator and reservoir caps and check to be sure the draincocks are fully closed and not leak-ing.
WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled byengine coolant temperature and may sometimes operate even when the engine is not running. Use ex-treme caution when working near the blades of the cooling fan so that you are not injured by a rotating fan blade. As the engine coolant tem-perature decreases, the fan will au- tomatically shut off. This is a nor- mal condition.

WARNING:
It is recommended that the engine be cool or cold when changing the spark plugs. If the engine is hot, you couldburn yourself on the insulated con- nector, the spark plug or the engine itself.
4. When preparing to remove the old spark plug, guide the socket down over the spark plug, being careful not to damage the ceramic insulator.
5. To remove the spark plug, turn the
wrench handle in a counterclockwisedirection.
G060C01S-GAT Changing the Spark Plugs You will find it easier to change spark plugs if the engine is cold. Always change one spark plug at a time. Thishelps avoid getting the wires mixed up.
1. Remove the center cover on the
engine rocker cover. (1.6L only)
2. Using a clean cloth, remove any dirt that has accumulated around the spark plug so it cannot fall into thecylinder when the spark plug is re- moved.
3. To remove the spark plug cable, pull straight up on the insulated connec-tor, not the cable. Pulling on the cable may damage the carbon coreconductor. HTB174
