G060A01O-AATSPARK PLUGS
Your engine was originally equipped with plati-
num-tipped spark plugs.
Platinum-tipped spark plugs will last longer than
conventional type spark plugs and can be

NOTE:Do not clean or regap platinum-tipped spark
plugs.
G060B02O-AATReplacing the Spark Plugs
The spark plugs should be changed at the
intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance
schedule in Section 5 or whenever engine
performance indicates they should be changed.
Symptoms that suggest poor spark plug perfor-
mance include engine misfiring under load, loss
of fuel economy, poor acceleration, etc. When
spark plugs are replaced, always use spark
plugs recommended by Hyundai. The use of
other spark plugs can result in loss of perfor-
mance, radio interference or engine damage.
NOTE:o When replacing the spark plugs, genu-
ine Hyundai replacement parts are rec-
ommended.
o It is recommended that the spark plug
should be changed by an authorized
Hyundai dealer. (2.7 L, 3.5 L)

water and then add coolant to the reservoir
until the level is between "L" and "F".

check to be sure the drain cocks are fully
closed and not leaking.
WARNING:The cooling fan is controlled by engine
coolant temperature and may sometimes
operate even when the engine is not run-
ning. Use extreme caution when working
near the blades of the coolant fan so that
you are not injured by a rotating fan blade.
As the engine coolant temperature de-
creases, the fan will automatically shut off.
This is a normal condition.
