REPLACING THE SPARK
PLUGS (Gasoline Engine)
The spark plugs should be changed
at the intervals specified in the ve-
hicle maintenances schedule in Sec-
tion 5 or whenever engine perfor-
mance indicates they should be
changed. Symptoms that suggest poor
spark plug performance include en-
gine misfiring under load, loss of fuel
economy, poor acceleration, etc.
When spark plugs are replaced, al-
ways use spark plugs recommended
by Hyundai. The use of other spark
plugs can result in loss of perfor-
mance, radio interference or engine
damage.
Unleaded: 1.0 ~ 1.1 mm (0.039 ~ 0.043 in.)

NOTE:
When replacing the spark plugs,
genuine Hyundai replacement parts
are recommended.

WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by
engine coolant temperature and may
sometimes operate even when the
engine is not running. Use extreme
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.
