To Change the Coolant
The coolant should be changed at those
intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.
NOTE: Care should be taken to ensure that cool-
ant is not allowed to spill onto the paintwork since the finish may becomedamaged. If coolant spillage occurs, theaffected area should be rinsed thoroughlywith water.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and en- sure that the parking brake is firmly ap- plied, and the engine allowed to cool. Do not attempt this operation whilst the engine is hot since burning or scaldingmay result.
2. Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the displaced coolant and position this underthe radiator drain tap.
3. With the heater temperature control set to the "HOT" position, remove the radiatorcap and open the radiator drain tap. 4. When the engine coolant has drained com-
pletely, close the drain tap ensuring thatthis is not over tightened.
5. Prepare a suitable quantity of new engine coolant (refer to section 9) and pour thisinto the radiator.

The engine coolant level may be observed through the side of the plastic coolant reservoir(expansion tank) when the engine is cold. If thelevel is below the "L" mark, add coolant of thecorrect concentration until the level is be-tween the "L" and "F" marks. If the level fallsbelow the "L" mark on a regular basis despitebeing topped up, consult a Hyundai authorisedrepairer.

Prior to installing a sparking plug, the gap between the centre and outer electrodes mustbe checked and adjusted as necessary.Adjustment is facilitated by bending the outerelectrode towards or away from the centreelectrode. Under no circumstances should at-tempts be made to adjust the position of thecentre electrode.
4. Insert the sparking plug into the cylinder head and using a suitable plug socket, slowly rotate the sparking plug, (beingcareful not to cross-thread) until the plugcontacts the seating area. Tighten the plug with plug socket by a further 1/2 to 3/4 of a furn only.

To check the power steering fluid level, be
sure the ignition is "OFF", then check to make certain that the power steering fluid level isbetween the "MAX" and "MIN" level markingson the fluid reservoir.
NOTE: Grinding noise from power steering pump
may be heard immediately after the engine is started in extremely cold condition(below -4°F). If the noise stops during warmup, there is no abnormal function in thesystem. This is due to a power steeringfluid characteristic in extremely cold con-ditions. FLUID RECOMMENDATION
Only automatic transmission fluid meeting the
specification of PSF-3 or Dexron 2 should be used in the power steering system. SG230B1-E POWER STEERING HOSES Power steering hoses should be checked for damage, deterioration and leakage at each ser-vice.

2. Pump the hand pump until there are no more bubbles in the fuel coming out of the air pipe. When doing this, place a clotharound the air pipe to prevent the escapingfuel from spewing about.
3. Replace the air cap when there are no more bubbles in the fuel.
4. Continue pumping until the hand pump becomes stiff.
5. Finally, check to be sure that there is no leakage of fuel. If in doubt, consult your nearest Hyundai authorised repairer.
WARNING:
o Do not smoke or have any other open flame near the vehicle while bleedingthe fuel system.
o Be sure to carefully wipe away any water drained out in this manner, be-cause the fuel mixed in the water mightbe ignited and result in a fire.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

It is of the utmost importance that the following information is read and understood by thevehicle operator in order to prevent operationalproblems arising from damage to the catalyst.Damage to the catalyst will result if contamina-tion occurs through the use of leaded fuel.Whilst the vehicle is fitted with a reduced diam-eter filler neck to prevent charging of the fueltank with a leaded fuel pump nozzle, it ispossible that the use of funnels or jerry cans willpermit leaded fuel to be introduced into the fueltank.The catalyst is intolerant of unburnt fuel andtherefore if an engine misfire condition exists,damage to the catalyst will occur. It is impera-tive that if a misfire condition develops, thevehicle is immediately presented to a Hyundaiauthorised repairer for rectification. Similarly,the practice of certain ignition system diagno-sis procedures which involve inducing a misfire(cylinder power balance tests for example)may result in catalyst damage.For these reasons, it is advisable that theexhaust gas emission be tested at each routineservice with a gas analyzer having a Hydrocar-bon measuring facility to ensure continuedreliability 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 isimpossible to push or tow start a Hyundaimodel equipped with fuel injection since thefuel pump safety interlock will prevent the pumpfrom operating under these conditions).
Operation of the catalyst involves extremelyhigh temperatures being attained within thecatalytic convertor, and although the convertoris fitted with heat shields, it is important that thevehicle is not parked over combustible or vola-tile material 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"melt down" where the catalyst core will meltand subsequently may block the exhaust sys-tem.Due to the fragile nature of the catalyst ele-ment, it is important that damage does notoccur when the vehicle is raised by means of agarage jack. Care must also be exercised toavoid driving over road hazards or debris whichmay cause damage to the catalyst element.
